VOLUNTEER GRAPHIC DESIGNER WANTED — HELP SHAPE A MOVEMENT THAT WILL CHANGE MEN’S LIVES

If you’ve ever wanted to use your creative talent for something that truly matters, this is that moment.

MINDSET Charity is at the very beginning of its journey — a bold, heart‑driven start‑up on a mission to transform the way men understand, manage and strengthen their mindset around mental wellbeing. We exist to empower men with practical, action‑based tools, skills and approaches that help them navigate life with resilience, confidence and clarity. We are non‑clinical, non‑therapeutic and prevention‑focused — a space built on empowerment, not diagnosis.

And right now, we’re looking for a Volunteer Graphic Designer who wants to help build something meaningful from the ground up.

WHY YOU MATTER TO THIS MISSION

We already have a logo. What we need now is a visual identity that breathes life into it — a brand that speaks to men with honesty, strength and hope. A brand that feels like a hand on the shoulder saying, “You’re not alone. You can do this.”

Your creativity will help shape:

• Our full brand identity and visual language.

• Colour palettes, typography and design guidelines.

• Templates for social media, programmes and campaigns.

• A cohesive look and feel that inspires trust, courage and connection.

This isn’t just design work. It’s legacy work. You’ll be helping to build the visual foundation of a charity that will support thousands of men to take control of their wellbeing and step into better versions of themselves.

WHO YOU ARE

You’re someone who:

• Wants to use your design skills for genuine social impact.

• Loves the idea of shaping a brand from its earliest days.

• Understands how powerful visual storytelling can be.

• Can bring creativity, consistency and heart to your work.

• Believes men deserve better support, better tools and better spaces to grow.

Whether you’re an experienced designer or an emerging creative looking to build your portfolio, if you have passion and purpose, we want to hear from you.

WHAT YOU’LL GAIN

• A chance to define the visual identity of a brand-new charity.

• Real creative freedom and the opportunity to lead the design direction.

• Portfolio‑ready work with meaningful impact.

• The knowledge that your talent is helping men build healthier, stronger lives.

JOIN US AT THE START OF SOMETHING POWERFUL

Every movement begins with a spark. Every charity begins with a handful of people who believe change is possible.

If you’re ready to help us build a brand that inspires men to take action for their mental wellbeing, we’d be honoured to have you on this journey.

Be the creative force behind a charity built on courage, compassion and growth. Be part of MINDSET.

If this speaks to you, we’d love to connect.

Causeway Education  are partnering with the Sweaty Betty Foundation to deliver workshops to girls in secondary schools about the importance of physical activity.

Our collaboration involves bringing role models from the community (across a variety of sectors and professions) into schools with us to deliver classroom-based workshops that act both as a careers education and also a motivation for staying physically active. For example, our role models might talk about how physical activity (however big or small, in whatever shape that looks like for them) has helped with their mental wellbeing or skill development in resilience, confidence, problem-solving that has allowed them to get where they are today in their careers. It is taking a holistic approach to viewing physical activity beyond appearance, to show teenage girls how being physically active can benefit them moving forward.

We are looking for women who are interested in speaking with girls about how physical activity has helped them with mental wellbeing, education and career goals and developing skills. The workshops last between 1.5 to 2 hours and are co-facilitated with a member of our team. Your role as a volunteer role model is to join the facilitator in assisting with activities that help re-frame the girls thinking around physical activity and encourage them to set a pledge in an area they are interested in exploring.

No previous experience required and a 1:1 introductory training call provided. No time commitment - you can do as many or as little workshops as you like, and we liaise with the school against your availability, location etc. Travel expenses are reimbursed. If you are passionate about getting teenage girls active, and feel you can share your own journey and experiences with physical activity, this would be great for you.

There are opportunities for volunteers across Greater London and Greater Manchester.
