Volunteer volunteer roles in Glasgow

Volunteer Graphic Designer

Shape our visual identity. Bring our mission to life. Inspire Londoners to unlock their potential.

London is full of talent — but too many adults from socio‑economically disadvantaged backgrounds never get the chance to show it. Confidence, opportunity and access to the workplace can feel out of reach.

Unlock YOUR Potential is here to change that.

We’re building a new charity dedicated to giving adults the skills, tools, opportunities and confidence they need to thrive long‑term in the workplace. And now, at this exciting moment, we’re searching for a Volunteer Graphic Designer to help us create a brand identity that reflects hope, empowerment and possibility.

This isn’t just a design role. It’s your chance to visually shape a movement.

Why This Role Matters

Our brand will be the first thing people see — the spark that tells adults, volunteers, partners and funders:

“You belong here. You can grow here. Your future matters.”

We’ve created a starting‑point logo using an AI platform, but now we need a talented designer to:

• Refine it

• Build a cohesive visual identity

• Create brand guidelines

• Produce assets in multiple formats

• Help us communicate our mission with clarity, warmth and energy

Your creativity will help us inspire confidence, dignity and hope in every adult we support.

What You’ll Do

As our Volunteer Graphic Designer, you will lead the creation of our visual identity from the ground up.

You will:

• Take our AI‑generated logo and develop it into a polished, professional brand asset

• Create multiple logo formats (colour, mono, transparent, social media, print‑ready etc.)

• Develop a full brand identity system — colours, typography, icons, patterns, imagery style

• Produce brand guidelines that reflect our uplifting, empowering mission

• Create templates for social media, presentations, documents and marketing materials

• Ensure our visual identity feels positive, inclusive and motivating

• Help shape how the world sees and understands our charity

Your work will become the visual foundation of a charity designed to transform lives.

What You’ll Gain

This role offers creativity, purpose and portfolio‑building opportunities.

You’ll gain:

• Experience shaping the brand identity of a new charity

• A strong portfolio piece with real‑world social impact

• Creative freedom to build something meaningful from scratch

• A close working relationship with the Founder and leadership team

• The fulfilment of knowing your work inspires and uplifts people across London

This is the kind of project that stands out — and makes a difference.

Who You Are

You’re someone who:

• Loves creating positive, uplifting and meaningful design

• Has experience in graphic design, branding or visual identity

• Enjoys turning ideas into clear, beautiful visual systems

• Wants to use your creativity for social good

• Believes in equality, opportunity and empowering others

• Can give a few hours a week to help shape a charity with huge potential

You don’t need decades of experience — just talent, passion and a desire to create impact.

Your Impact

Your design work will help:

• Inspire adults to believe in their potential

• Attract volunteers who want to make a difference

• Build trust with partners, funders and communities

• Communicate our mission with clarity and confidence

• Create a brand that feels warm, hopeful and empowering

Your creativity becomes part of someone’s journey toward a brighter future.

Ready to design a brand that transforms lives?

If you’re passionate about design and excited by the idea of helping build a charity from the ground up, we’d love to hear from you.

• Shape our identity.
• Bring our mission to life.

Are you a committed Christian with professional investment experience who has a heart to see a new generation develop a vibrant faith in Jesus Christ? 

We are seeking a volunteer with professional investment experience to join our Audit & Finance Committee, supporting the Board in its responsibility for financial oversight, governance and assurance. 

This role would suit someone who has worked as an investment consultant, investment manager, or in a similar advisory capacity, and who can bring independent expertise to strengthen the Committee’s oversight of our investment arrangements. 

Scripture Union holds investments of approximately £1.9 million (including a capital endowment of around £0.65 million) and a further c.£0.8 million held in cash or cash-equivalent deposits to support liquidity needs. These invested assets are managed externally by Rathbones through charity-specific pooled investment funds. Investment decisions are made in line with our ethical investment policy, which ensures that funds avoid sectors inconsistent with our Christian values. 

About the role 

As part of a broader remit covering financial reporting, internal controls, audit, risk management and compliance, the Committee also plays a key role in: 

• reviewing and approving our investment policies; and 

• monitoring the performance of the investment management, making recommendations to the Board where appropriate.

In this context, you will help the Committee: 

• monitor the performance of our funds managed by Rathbones; 

• provide constructive challenge on investment performance and reporting; 

• support the Committee in reviewing whether the current investment strategy and asset mix remains appropriate; and 

• contribute to providing assurance that there is a robust level of due diligence, oversight and governance in place. 

This is not a fund management role. Instead, it is a governance role focused on independent scrutiny, challenge and assurance, as part of the Committee’s wider responsibilities for financial performance, control and risk management. 

What you will bring 

We are particularly interested in candidates with: 

• experience as an investment consultant, investment manager, or similar; 

• strong understanding of investment performance, asset allocation and risk; 

• experience of reviewing investment manager reports and providing insight at a strategic level; 

• the confidence to provide constructive challenge within a committee setting; 

• the ability to support non-specialists in understanding complex investment matters; and 

• a strong interest in supporting good governance and stewardship of charitable resources. 

Previous experience of charity governance or committee membership would be helpful but is not essential. 

Commitment 

This is a voluntary role. The Committee usually meets four times a year with additional preparation time required to review papers in advance. 

You will play an important role in supporting the Committee to fulfil its responsibilities for financial oversight, risk management and investment governance, helping to ensure the charity’s resources are managed effectively and responsibly.
