Hello there, we're Unlock YOUR Potential a micro/small social mobility charitable organisation providing employability services to adults across the UK.

We're in need of a volunteer who can give up some time to help us out by creating a logo and brand guide for our new social mobility charity, helping us raise our profile and reach more people who need our help and support.

At Unlock YOUR Potential, we believe an “accident of birth” should never determine a person’s destination. We are a new UK‑based social mobility charity committed to breaking cycles of deprivation through holistic employability, wellbeing, and mentoring programmes that empower adults to thrive.

We are prioritising delivery in areas that rank among the top 10 most deprived areas nationally for employment and skills. The need here is real. The talent is abundant. The opportunity for impact is extraordinary.

We are looking for a creative, thoughtful, and mission‑driven designer who can craft a logo that:

• Captures our purpose — breaking down barriers and unlocking potential

• Communicates growth and transformation

• Feels modern, bold, and full of possibility

• Resonates with adults from working‑class and underserved communities

• Works across digital, print, and social platforms

Your design will become the visual foundation of our charity — a symbol of hope, ambition, and opportunity for the communities we serve.

You will work closely with the Founder to design a modern, meaningful, and impactful logo that reflects our mission of growth, development, empowerment, and change.
