We're recruiting on behalf of our partners at MINDSET.

VOLUNTEER GRAPHIC DESIGNER (MINDSET Charity) - REMOTE 

Help Us Launch a Movement This November

MINDSET is a bold new preventative mental fitness charity for teenage boys and men in London — and we’re launching this November. We’re building a modern, high‑energy, stigma‑free space where men learn the habits, systems, and psychological tools to stay strong long before crisis hits.

To bring this mission to life, we need a creative powerhouse — a Graphic Designer who can help us shape the visual identity of a charity built to feel more like a fitness brand than a traditional organisation.

If you want your work to matter, to inspire, and to change lives, this is your moment.

THE ROLE: GRAPHIC DESIGNER (Volunteer)

We’re looking for a designer who can help us create a suite of high‑impact visuals that will define our launch. You’ll be part of a small, passionate team building something genuinely needed in London.

You’ll help us design:

• Roller Banners for school programmes and community events.

• Merchandise (t‑shirts, hoodies, wristbands, stickers).

• Launch Graphics for November 2026.

• Social Media Assets that feel modern, bold, and motivational.

• Printed Materials (flyers, posters, guides and booklets).

• Digital Templates for our 12‑week mental fitness programme.

• Brand Elements that strengthen our identity and message.

Your work will be seen by schools, partners, funders, teenage boys, and men across London — and will directly support our mission to prevent silent suffering and build stronger futures.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

You don’t need decades of experience. You don’t need agency credentials. You just need skill, passion, and a desire to build something meaningful.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Loves creating clean, modern, bold designs.

• Can work with brand guidelines (or help us refine them).

• Enjoys fast‑paced, start‑up style collaboration.

• Wants their work to have real social impact.

• Can commit a few hours a week between now and November.

• Is excited by the idea of shaping a charity’s visual identity from day one.

If you’re the kind of designer who gets fired up by purpose‑driven projects, you’ll fit right in.

WHY JOIN MINDSET?

1. Because your designs will change lives.

Every banner, every graphic, every piece of merchandise helps us reach boys and men who desperately need preventative support.

2. Because we operate like a modern brand.

Think Gymshark, Huel, or MyProtein — clean lines, bold messaging, high energy. Not clinical. Not corporate. Not outdated.

3. Because you’ll be part of a founding team.

Your creativity will help define how MINDSET looks, feels, and communicates for years to come.

4. Because this is meaningful work.

We’re building a movement that exists to stop preventable tragedies. Your designs will help us reach the men who need us most.

WHAT YOU’LL GET

• A chance to build a full brand suite for a new charity.

• Portfolio‑ready work with real‑world impact.

• A supportive, energetic team who value creativity.

• Flexible volunteering you can fit around your life.

• The satisfaction of knowing your work is helping save lives.

JOIN US.

HELP US LAUNCH MINDSET.

HELP US CHANGE THE STORY FOR MEN AND BOYS IN LONDON.

Join Our Board - Help shape the future of Merton’s vibrant voluntary, community and social enterprise sector.

Merton Connected is seeking two to three new trustees to join us at an exciting time of growth.

Merton's voluntary, community, social enterprise and faith sector is full of energy, ideas and people determined to make a difference. As the borough's infrastructure charity, Merton Connected sits right at the heart of it: connecting, supporting and championing the organisations that support local people every day.

Now we want you to help shape what comes next.

Who we're looking for

We're seeking people who bring curiosity, strategic thinking, and a genuine commitment to inclusive community development. Whether this would be your first governance role or you've supported other boards before, what matters most is your perspective and your willingness to engage.

We're particularly keen to hear from people with insight or experience in:

• Charity management
• Public health, health and social care integration, or partnership working between statutory and VCS organisations
• Marketing and communications
• Digital and AI operations
• Income generation and fundraising
• Impact and performance measurement

We also warmly welcome applicants with diverse lived experience, fresh perspectives, and a strong connection to Merton. There's no single profile we're looking for, and different viewpoints make us stronger.

What you'll be doing

As a trustee, you'll help shape our strategy, strengthen good governance, and champion the voices of local organisations and residents. You'll join a collaborative, supportive board that works closely with our leadership team to ensure Merton's voluntary, community and faith sector continues to thrive.

What you'll gain

• The chance to influence local priorities and make a meaningful difference to people's lives
• Insight into how a well-connected, values-driven infrastructure charity works from the inside
• Opportunities to share your knowledge and develop your own strategic and leadership skills
• A place on a welcoming, inclusive board committed to learning and collective impact

The practical bit

Time commitment: 4–6 meetings per year (including strategy days), with occasional subgroups or events
Support offered: A full induction is provided, and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses are reimbursed.

We are actively seeking to expand our board and hope to make at least two trustee appointments over the next two months.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and we may appoint additional trustees where their skills and experience complement the board.

Please apply with your CV and a few screening questions

Phases Social Enterprise is developing a project (‘SusBright’) to inspire more people in Brighton & Hove to make sustainable choices. The initial stage of the project has been the development of an App, which straddles the worlds of consumerism, citizenship and activism.

The App is nearing the end of the development phase and we need someone to help with the final stages of content creation and collation. This will include contact with local businesses and uploading and editing of content on Wordpress. The successful applicant will also be involved in the next stage of the project: building a network of sustainability-focused organisations across Brighton.  

Work on the App can largely be carried out on a remote basis, with occasional meetings with our CEO and App developer. Building the Network will include attendance at meetings with other local organisations to support our CEO.

You will need to be located in the Brighton & Hove area or thereabouts as this is the focus of the project going forwards.

You will have good attention to detail and should also have excellent communication skills. An interest in sustainability is indispensible. But you do not need a knowledge of  Wordpress – the basic requirements can easily be taught.

This is an opportunity to be involved, from an early stage, in the evolution of an exciting and innovative new project. The successful applicant will experience the development of a non-profit app from the inside and come into contact with a range of other businesses and organisations in the Brighton sustainability sector. They will also be ideally placed to apply for future paid roles as they arise within this project.

Hours can be flexible and subject to discussion. We will probably look for a minimum of one day a week.
