Graphic Designer – VOLUNTEER
Flexible Hours | Remote | Start‑Up Youth Social Mobility Charity
About REMIX
REMIX is a start‑up, youth‑led social mobility charity transforming young lives across London. Based in Shoreditch, we empower young people from disadvantaged backgrounds across London to unlock their potential, build confidence, and develop essential life skills through nurturing mentorship, inspiring role models, and transformative opportunities.
We’re in the exciting early stages of building something bold, vibrant, and community‑powered — and we’re looking for a Graphic Designer (Volunteer) who can help bring REMIX’s visual identity to life and put us firmly on the map.
The Role
We are seeking a creative, energetic, and impact‑driven Graphic Designer (Volunteer) to help shape REMIX’s visual presence across digital and print. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who loves designing for purpose, enjoys youth‑focused branding, and wants to help build the look and feel of a movement from the ground up.
You will work closely with the Founder and wider team, to create bold, exciting, and culturally relevant designs that amplify REMIX’s voice across London.
Time commitment: FLEXIBLE & REMOTE, including:
-
Design briefs and creative sessions
-
Digital and print asset creation
-
Occasional collaboration with leadership and volunteers
Key Responsibilities
As Graphic Designer (Volunteer), you will:
-
Create impactful digital and print materials that increase brand awareness and excitement around REMIX.
-
Design posters, social media graphics, flyers, banners, campaign visuals, and other creative assets.
-
Bring REMIX’s brand guidelines to life with consistency, creativity, and youth‑friendly energy.
-
Support the development of visual storytelling that highlights our mission, programmes, and impact.
-
Help shape the visual identity of a start‑up charity with big ambitions.
-
Ensure all designs feel vibrant, accessible, and aligned with our values of empowerment, equity, compassion, and inspiration.
This role blends creativity, branding, youth culture, and movement‑building — perfect for someone who wants their work to spark excitement and visibility.
What We’re Looking For
You don’t need years of experience — we welcome emerging designers, students, freelancers, and creatives looking to build their portfolio. What matters most is your creativity, your passion, and your ability to design with purpose.
We’re looking for someone who is:
-
Passionate about social mobility, youth empowerment, and fairness.
-
Creative, bold, and excited by designing for a youth‑led movement.
-
Confident using design tools (e.g., Canva, Adobe Suite, Figma — whatever you prefer).
-
Able to work collaboratively but also independently on briefs.
-
Organised, reliable, and committed to our mission.
-
Compassionate, emotionally intelligent, and community‑minded.
Experience with branding, social media design, or campaign visuals is beneficial — but not essential if you bring strong creative instincts and a willingness to learn.
Why Join REMIX?
-
Play a central role in shaping the visual identity of a start‑up charity with huge potential.
-
Help build a movement that champions equity, compassion, and opportunity.
-
See your designs used across London to inspire young people and supporters.
-
Work with passionate Trustees and volunteers who care deeply about young people.
-
Build your portfolio with real‑world, high‑impact creative work.
-
Make a meaningful, lasting difference in the lives of young Londoners.
This is your chance to design the look and feel of a movement.

Volunteer Graphic Designer
Create the visual identity for a new charity on a mission to unlock potential
At Unlock YOUR Potential, we believe that an accident of birth should never determine a person’s destination. We are building a new social‑mobility charity dedicated to empowering adults from low‑income backgrounds and communities facing the highest levels of deprivation. Our mission is simple but ambitious: to break barriers, open doors, and unlock the potential that has always been there.
We are preparing to launch — and now we need a talented creative who can help us bring our brand to life.
Your Mission: Design a Brand That Inspires Change
We are looking for a Volunteer Graphic Designer who can create a powerful, meaningful and memorable logo and brand identity that captures the heart of our mission.
This is a chance to shape the visual identity of a charity from day one. Your work will become the face of our movement — appearing across our website, social media, programmes, campaigns and future impact.
You will:
-
Design a bold, inspiring logo that reflects unlocking potential, opportunity and transformation
-
Develop a simple but impactful brand identity (colours, typography, visual style)
-
Create initial brand assets for use across digital platforms
-
Work closely with the Founder to understand our mission, values and audience
-
Help translate our purpose into a visual language that resonates with the communities we serve
Your creativity will help us communicate hope, empowerment and possibility to people who need it most.
Who we’re looking for
You’ll be a great fit if you are:
-
A creative thinker with experience in graphic design or brand development
-
Someone who can turn ideas and values into compelling visual concepts
-
Passionate about social mobility, fairness and creating positive change
-
Able to commit a short burst of time over the coming weeks to help us prepare for launch
-
Excited by the idea of shaping the identity of a brand‑new charity
Whether you’re an experienced designer or an emerging creative looking to build your portfolio, your work will have real purpose and real impact.
Why this role matters
A brand is more than a logo — it’s a promise. A signal of trust. A spark of recognition. A symbol of hope.
Your designs will help us reach people who have been overlooked, underestimated or held back by circumstance. You will help us communicate possibility to adults who deserve the chance to thrive.
- If you want to use your creativity to make a meaningful difference…
- If you want to help build something powerful from the ground up…
- If you want your work to inspire thousands…
We’d love to hear from you.
