And we want you right at the heart of it.

MINDSET Charity is a brand‑new London start‑up charity with a powerful ambition:

HELPING MEN AND BOYS BUILD BETTER LIVES.

We’re not here to do “more of the same”. We’re creating something fresh, bold and full of purpose.

A community where men and boys can grow confidence, resilience, connection, skills and a positive mindset — through practical support, mentoring, buddying, real conversations, real role models and people who genuinely care. A place that helps them navigate mental health and wellbeing with support that feels human, warm and real.

But here’s the truth…

**Movements aren’t built by one person.

They’re built by teams. By energy. By people who believe.**

And that’s where you come in.

WE’RE BUILDING OUR MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE

A group of passionate, committed volunteers who will help shape, guide and grow MINDSET from the very beginning.

This is not a traditional board. This is a start‑up leadership team. A group of people who want to build something meaningful, ambitious and full of heart.

If you want to help build a charity from the ground up — its strategy, systems, culture, programmes, partnerships and future — this is your moment.

Creating awareness campaigns that inspire men and boys to seek support and get involved.

12. IT & Digital Infrastructure

Helping us build simple, effective digital systems that support volunteers, programmes and operations.

Gathering insights, analysing data and helping us understand the needs of men and boys in London.

Volunteer Graphic Designer

We’re looking for a talented and creative Volunteer Graphic Designer to help us bring our ideas to life and make sure our communications look as good as the work we do. You’ll work with our team to create a wide range of materials, including posters, leaflets, newsletters, fundraising appeals, social media graphics, adoption materials, event promotions and other communications.

What you’ll do

• Take ideas and creative briefs from our team and turn them into strong visual designs.
• Create eye-catching posters, flyers, leaflets and other printed materials.
• Help us produce attractive and engaging newsletters.
• Design graphics for social media and digital communications.
• Create materials for fundraising campaigns, appeals and events.
• Help us tell the stories of the animals we rescue and the people we support through compelling visual content.
• Work within our existing brand and help develop a consistent and recognisable visual style.
• Suggest your own creative ideas and approaches.
• Make amendments and develop designs based on feedback.
• Prepare artwork for both digital use and professional printing.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who is creative, reliable and has a great eye for design. You’ll ideally have experience in graphic design and be able to show us examples of your work or a portfolio. You’ll be able to take a fairly simple idea or brief and turn it into something polished, professional and visually engaging. You’ll have a good understanding of design principles including layout, typography, imagery and colour, and be comfortable adapting your approach for different audiences and purposes.

Experience using Canva or similar software would be useful, but we’re more interested in your creativity and the quality of your work than the particular software you use.

You’ll need to be able to work independently, manage agreed deadlines, take feedback positively and pay attention to detail.

You don’t need previous charity experience, but an interest in animal welfare and a desire to use your skills to make a difference would be a real advantage.

Why volunteer with us?

Your work will have a direct and visible impact. Good design helps us reach more people, raise more money and ultimately do more for animals and the people who care for them. Your designs could help someone decide to adopt an animal, encourage someone to donate, attract a new volunteer or help us reach a family who needs support with veterinary costs. This is an opportunity to use your creative skills for a local charity where your work will genuinely make a difference.

The role is flexible and can largely be carried out remotely. We can agree projects and deadlines around your availability, so it could suit an experienced designer, someone returning to design, or a creative professional looking to volunteer their skills for a worthwhile cause. If you have a creative eye, enjoy turning ideas into great-looking finished products and would like to use your skills to support local animal welfare, we’d love to hear from you.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for a creative, reliable and enthusiastic person who can take an idea and turn it into a professional, engaging and visually appealing finished product.

The most important thing is strong graphic design ability and a good eye for design. We’re not necessarily looking for someone with a particular qualification or a specific career background. We’re looking for someone who understands what makes good visual communication and can create designs that catch people’s attention, communicate a message clearly and encourage people to take action.

Our ideal volunteer will have experience creating materials such as posters, leaflets, flyers, newsletters, social media graphics, fundraising materials or promotional content. We’d particularly welcome someone who can show examples of their previous work through a portfolio or examples of designs they have created.

We’d like someone who can take a relatively simple brief from us - for example, an idea for a fundraising appeal or an adoption campaign - and use their own creativity to develop the concept into something really effective. We will often provide the content, photographs and key messages, but we need someone who can think about how best to present these visually.

The ability to work with an existing brand and maintain a consistent look and feel is important. You’ll need a good understanding of layout, typography, imagery, colour and visual hierarchy, as well as an ability to adapt designs for different audiences and formats.

Experience with Canva or similar design software would be useful. However, we’re more interested in what you can create than which software you use.

We’re also looking for someone who is:

• Creative - able to bring fresh ideas and suggest different ways of presenting our messages.
• Visually aware - with a strong eye for composition, typography, imagery and detail.
• Reliable - able to agree realistic deadlines and deliver work when promised.
• Independent - comfortable taking a brief and developing it without needing constant direction.
• Collaborative - happy to work with our team, listen to feedback and make revisions where needed.
• Organised - able to manage several projects and keep track of agreed deadlines.
• Adaptable - comfortable creating different types of materials for both print and digital use.
• Passionate about making a difference - interested in using their skills to support animal welfare.

Previous experience working with charities would be useful but is not essential. We’d welcome applications from professional designers, freelance designers, people looking to build their portfolio, or experienced creatives who simply want to use their skills for a local cause. Most importantly, we want someone who cares about producing work they can be proud of and understands that great design can help us reach more people, raise more funds and ultimately make a greater difference to animals and families in our community.

What difference will you make?

Good design can make a real difference to a local charity. Every day, we have important stories to tell about the animals we rescue, the families we support and the difference our volunteers, donors and supporters make. But having a good story is only part of the challenge. We need to make sure people notice it, understand it and feel motivated to take action.

As a local RSPCA branch, we rely heavily on our own fundraising and community support. The money we raise enables us to rescue animals, provide veterinary treatment, care for animals while they recover and find them safe and loving homes. We also provide financial support to local pet owners who are struggling to afford essential veterinary treatment, helping animals receive the care they need and remain with the people who love them.

A skilled volunteer graphic designer can help us communicate all of this far more effectively.

Your designs could help us create fundraising appeals that encourage more people to donate, adoption materials that help animals find their new homes, volunteer recruitment campaigns that bring new people into our team and social media content that reaches a much wider audience. You could help turn an idea for a campaign into a professional poster, transform information into an engaging leaflet or bring an animal's story to life through compelling visual content.

For a charity like ours, every additional person reached and every additional donation generated can make a tangible difference. Your work will also help us present ourselves consistently and professionally across our communications. This will strengthen our local presence, build recognition of our branch and help people understand that their support is making a direct difference to animals and families in our community.
Most importantly, you will be able to see the results of your contribution. A design you create could help raise the funds needed for an animal's veterinary treatment, attract a new fosterer, recruit a volunteer, find a home for an animal or encourage someone to support our work for the first time.
This isn't simply an opportunity to create attractive designs. It is an opportunity to use your creativity and professional skills to help animals and the people who care for them.

By volunteering your time and expertise, you will become an important part of our team and help us communicate our work more effectively, reach more people and ultimately do more for animals across our local community.

Before you apply

We’re hoping to build a small team of creative volunteers who can work with us on different projects, so we’d love to hear from anyone with graphic design skills and a creative eye.

We’ll review applications and portfolios as they come in and will contact all applicants. We’d particularly like to see examples of previous graphic design work, so please include a link to your portfolio, website or relevant examples where possible.

We’ll arrange a short informal conversation with applicants to talk about the role, your experience and the type of creative work you enjoy.

We’re hoping to start building our creative team as soon as possible, so applications will be reviewged on an ongoing basis rather than waiting for a fixed closing date.

VOLUNTEER WITH SUNSHINE!

Fundraising Volunteers Wanted!

Could YOU help us raise the SUNSHINE we need to get started?

SUNSHINE Charity is setting up — and we're on a mission to raise the seed funding we need to launch our charity and start delivering the programmes, activities and support that people experiencing loneliness and social isolation need.

We're looking for enthusiastic, creative and motivated fundraising volunteers who can help us turn ideas into fundraising opportunities and help us build the financial foundations of SUNSHINE.

Whether you've got fundraising experience, grant-writing skills, digital fundraising knowledge, business connections, event ideas — or simply a brilliant idea and the enthusiasm to make it happen...

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

WHAT YOU'LL HELP US DO

Working with our Founder and wider SUNSHINE team, you'll help us explore and develop different ways to raise the funds we need to get started.

This could include:

• Crowdfunding & Digital Fundraising

Help us create and promote online fundraising campaigns that get people excited about SUNSHINE and inspire them to support what we're trying to achieve.

• Small Grant Applications

Help identify suitable grant opportunities and support us with researching, writing and submitting small grant applications.

• Fundraising Campaigns

Help us develop creative fundraising campaigns that tell the SUNSHINE story and inspire people to get behind us.

You might have experience in:

• Fundraising
• Grant Writing
• Digital Fundraising
• Marketing & Campaigns
• Events
• Business Development
• Corporate Partnerships
• Crowdfunding
• Income Generation

But you don't have to be a fundraising professional.

We're also looking for people who are:

• Proactive & willing to get stuck in
• Organised & reliable
• Passionate about making a difference

Most importantly...

You believe everyone deserves connection, community and a little more SUNSHINE.

THIS IS MORE THAN FUNDRAISING

Every pound we raise helps us get closer to launching SUNSHINE.

It helps us create:

• Community sessions
• Digital inclusion activities
• Creative activities
• Opportunities for people to meet others
• Spaces where people feel welcome and included
• Opportunities to build human connection

And ultimately...

More opportunities for people experiencing loneliness and social isolation to feel connected, valued and part of something.

HYBRID VOLUNTEER ROLE

A few hours per week

The majority of fundraising activity can be carried out remotely, making this a flexible volunteer opportunity.

Occasionally, you may be asked to attend activities in Tower Hamlets and across Inner London, including:

• Fundraising Events
• Business & Community Meetings
• Fundraising Campaign Activities
• SUNSHINE Events
• Volunteer Meetings

HELP US GET SUNSHINE OFF THE GROUND!

We're at the beginning of our journey.

That means your contribution could make a HUGE difference.

You won't simply be joining an established fundraising department.

You'll be helping us BUILD one.

You'll have the opportunity to:

VOLUNTEER WITH SUNSHINE!

Operations Lead Wanted!

Could YOU help turn the SUNSHINE vision into reality?

SUNSHINE Charity is setting up — and we're looking for an enthusiastic, organised, proactive and people-focused volunteer to work alongside our Founder and help us build the operational foundations of SUNSHINE Charity.

We're looking for someone who can bring energy, structure, ideas and a positive can-do attitude to help keep everything moving behind the scenes as SUNSHINE grows.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in helping a grassroots start-up charity develop from the ground up and turn our vision of positivity, human connection, community and belonging into real action.

WHAT YOU'LL HELP US DO

Working closely with our Founder, you'll help support the day-to-day operational management and development of SUNSHINE Charity, including:

• Helping turn our plans and ideas into action.
• Helping organise and coordinate SUNSHINE's activities, projects and programmes.
• Helping keep our start-up plans moving forward and making sure things don't get forgotten.
• Supporting our growing team of volunteers and helping different parts of SUNSHINE work together.
• Helping coordinate meetings, activities, events and key deadlines.
• Helping develop and maintain operational processes, systems and ways of working.
• Helping monitor progress across our projects and programmes.
• Bringing new ideas to make SUNSHINE work smarter, better and more effectively.
• Helping identify things that need doing before they become problems.
• Helping connect the dots between our volunteers, programmes, partnerships and wider charity activity.
• Helping create an organised, positive and vibrant culture as SUNSHINE grows.

And most importantly...

Helping our Founder turn the BIG SUNSHINE vision into something REAL!

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

You don't need to have worked for a charity before.

You don't need to have every answer.

We're looking for someone who is:

• Positive & enthusiastic
• A problem solver
• Organised & structured
• Proactive & takes initiative
• Friendly & approachable
• A great communicator
• Creative & full of ideas
• Reliable & dependable
• Comfortable getting stuck in

And someone who can look at something and think:

"Okay... how can we make this happen?"

You might have experience in operations, project management, administration, business, charity management, events, volunteering or running projects — but we're much more interested in your attitude, enthusiasm and ability to get things done.

THIS IS A HANDS-ON ROLE

This isn't a role where you'll simply sit back and watch things happen.

SUNSHINE is a grassroots start-up charity, which means there will be plenty to do, plenty to build and plenty of opportunities to make your mark.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Help create systems from scratch.
• Shape how SUNSHINE operates.
• Bring your own ideas to the table.
• Work directly with the Founder.
• Help build a growing volunteer-powered organisation.
• See your work turn into real community activity.

You'll be helping build SUNSHINE from the ground up.

3. Community Activities

6. Volunteer Recruitment Activities
7. SUNSHINE Events

WHY JOIN US?

Because this isn't just another volunteering role.

You'll be joining us at the beginning of the SUNSHINE journey.

You'll have the opportunity to help shape how the organisation works, support our Founder, build something from the ground up and help turn an ambitious vision into meaningful community action.

And ultimately...

You'll be helping us create more opportunities for people to connect.

• More conversations.
• More friendships.
• More smiles.
• More belonging.
• More SUNSHINE.
