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.
