Volunteer Role: Graphic Designer – Shape the Visual Identity of MINDSET Charity

Men’s mental health is in crisis. The decline is real, urgent, and deeply felt across England. But we believe in a different future — one where men are empowered to speak up, grow stronger, and live fuller, healthier lives.

That’s why we’re building MINDSET Charity, a bold new movement launching in 2026. Right now, we’re at the concept stage — and we need a talented Graphic Designer to help us bring our vision to life.

What We’re Creating:

• A brotherhood of support through mentoring, workshops, online tools, and community activities.

• A charity that challenges stigma and builds resilience through self‑improvement and connection.

• A movement that changes the narrative around men’s mental health across England.

The Graphic Designer Role:

We already have an AI‑designed logo that we love — but now it needs a professional touch. As our volunteer Graphic Designer, you’ll:

• Enhance and refine our logo, ensuring it’s polished, impactful, and versatile.

• Create the logo in a range of formats for both digital and print use.

• Develop a Brand Guidelines document to ensure consistency across all future campaigns, websites, and materials.

• Help us communicate a message that is clear, bold, and relevant to men everywhere.

Your work will set the tone for everything we do — from posters and social media to events and national campaigns.

Who We’re Looking For:

• Skilled and experienced in graphic design and branding.

• Confident working with logos, typography, and layout for both digital and print.

• Passionate about using design to make a social impact.

Why Join?

Because this is more than design. It’s legacy. It’s impact. It’s being part of a national movement that will change lives. Your creativity will help shape how men see themselves, their community, and their future.

The Call:

If you’ve ever thought, “I want my design work to matter” — this is it. Step in now, and help us reset the mindset through powerful, consistent, and inspiring visuals.

Apply to be our Graphic Designer. Shape the brand. Shape the movement.

Supporting Men Through Their Mental Wellbeing and Self Improvement

Volunteer Role: Graphic Designer

SUNSHINE Charity (London)

We created SUNSHINE to tackle the loneliness problem head-on. Our mission is simple: to bring people together, spread joy and community spirit, and deliver services and support to those living with loneliness. We do this by:

• Fostering Connections: We create safe and welcoming spaces where people can meet, chat, and form genuine friendships.

• Enhancing Wellbeing: Our activities are designed to be fun and engaging, lifting spirits and promoting a positive outlook.

• Transforming Lives: Every interaction, no matter how small, has the power to make a huge difference in someone's day, and ultimately, their life.

Our Vision

A world where everyone feels connected, valued, and a part of a vibrant, compassionate community.

Our Values

• Joy: We believe in the power of happiness to change lives.

• Connection: We create bridges, not walls.

• Community: We are a family, united by a shared mission.

• Empathy: We listen, we understand, and we care.

Commitment: Approximately 2 hours per week (project-based, flexible scheduling to meet deadlines).

Location: Remote/home-based.

Reports To: Charity Director/Programme Manager (for project briefing and sign-off).

Role Purpose

To provide high-quality, professional design support across all of SUNSHINE's channels. The Graphic Designer ensures that the charity's brand identity (visuals, tone, and warmth) is consistently applied to all digital and print materials, helping us to recruit volunteers, attract partners, and engage participants.

Key Responsibilities

1. Design and Production:

• Conceptualise, design, and produce diverse digital and print assets, including but not limited to:

  • Recruitment Materials: Volunteer role advertisements, flyers, and information leaflets.

  • Programme Assets: Posters, booklets, and promotional material for the Digital Inclusion and Wellbeing Programmes.

  • Events & Outreach: Roller banners, branded tablecloth designs, and social media graphics for events (e.g., Coffee Mornings).

  • Internal Templates: Creating standardised templates (e.g., presentation slides, letterheads) to ensure brand consistency across all teams.

• Support Brand Development: Ensure all creative work is aligned with SUNSHINE's established style guide, fonts, colour palette, and the core feeling of Joy, Warmth, and Community Spirit.

2. Collaboration and Delivery:

• Work closely with the Programme Manager and Charity Director to understand the specific communication goals and target audiences for each project.

• Deliver assets in the correct formats (e.g., print-ready PDF, web-optimised JPEG/PNG) and on agreed-upon deadlines.

• Manage and maintain a digital library of all completed design assets and source files.

3. Adaptability and Innovation:

• Be prepared to adapt designs for various mediums and platforms (e.g., resizing a poster for an Instagram Story).

• Proactively suggest innovative visual ideas to improve SUNSHINE's communications and cut through the noise in the crowded London non-profit landscape.

Skills and Experience Required

• Essential:

  • Proficiency in Design Software: Expert-level command of industry-standard design tools (e.g., Adobe Creative Suite: InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, or equivalent platforms like Canva Pro).

  • Portfolio: A strong portfolio demonstrating versatility in both print and digital media design.

  • Attention to Detail: Meticulous eye for typography, layout, colour, and pre-press checks.

  • Remote Collaboration: Ability to work independently, manage a project queue, and communicate progress effectively using digital tools.

• Desirable:

  • Experience working with a non-profit, charity, or community organisation.

  • Understanding of accessibility standards in design.
