Men’s Self‑Improvement Programme Volunteers

Help Build the Frontline of a New Movement for Men

At MINDSET, we’re not here to tweak the system — we’re here to rebuild it. Men across England and Wales are stuck between long waiting lists, clinical models that don’t fit, and a culture that tells them to “man up”. We’re changing that.

We’re launching a brand-new Men’s Self‑Improvement Programme, and we’re looking for committed volunteers to help shape, deliver, and grow the work that will transform men’s lives.

The Mission

1. Build the Blueprint

Help design and develop practical, high‑impact sessions focused on mental fitness, personal growth, and real‑world self‑improvement.

2. Lead the Frontline

Support and deliver our direct work with men — creating spaces that are positive, structured, and genuinely useful.

3. Shift the Culture

Help us challenge outdated narratives about men’s wellbeing and spark a national conversation about growth, strength, and self‑leadership.

4. Evolve the Model

Gather real feedback, test ideas, and help us refine the programme so it always meets men where they are.

The Vibe

We’re informal, direct, and relentlessly positive. No jargon. No judgement. No fluff.

You’ll have:

• Freedom to create

• Space to lead

• A real role in shaping a national movement from day one

This is hands-on, meaningful, legacy-building work.

Sound like you?

If you’re passionate about men’s personal development, confident working with people, and excited by the idea of building something from scratch, we’d love to have you on the team.

Lead the MINDSET Mission

Ready to tell the story that changes the narrative?

At MINDSET, we’re not just another charity; we’re a brand-new movement for men’s mental wellbeing and personal growth across England and Wales. We’re tired of the clinical, "waiting room" energy. We need a Communications Lead to help us cut through the noise with bold, impactful content that finally speaks a language men actually respond to.

We’re looking for a creative storyteller who can capture the grit, the growth, and the real-world impact of what we do, turning our mission into a profile that gets recognised nationwide.

The Mission:

• The Narrative: Create powerful content that tells the authentic stories of the men we support—focusing on strength, resilience, and action rather than just hardship.
• The Megaphone: Lead our social media and digital presence (think Instagram for visuals, LinkedIn for partnerships, and TikTok for authentic, raw updates) to raise our profile.
• The Identity: Ensure MINDSET is seen as the go-to space for non-clinical growth, building a brand that feels like a community, not a service.

The Vibe:
We’re action-first and zero-fluff. You’ll have total creative freedom to ditch the "sad face" charity clichés and build a high-impact communication strategy from the ground up.

Tell the MINDSET Story

Ready to design the face of a movement?

At MINDSET, we’re building a brand-new start-up for men’s mental wellbeing and personal growth across England and Wales. We’re ditching the "grey and clinical" look for something bold, modern, and high-impact. Now, we need a Volunteer Graphic Designer to give MINDSET the visual edge it deserves.

We’re looking for a creative powerhouse to take our brand and turn it into something men actually want to be part of—from digital campaigns to physical event gear.

The Mission:

• The Visual Storyteller: Create high-impact social media posts, info-graphics, and motion graphics that cut through the noise and tell the MINDSET story.
• The Campaign Builder: Design the assets for our Kickstart MINDSET fundraiser and our volunteer recruitment drives.
• The Physical Presence: Create the "real world" stuff—banners, posters, and flyers that make us stand out at events across the country.
• The Brand Guardian: Help us maintain a consistent, positive, and direct visual identity that screams growth and resilience.

The Vibe:
No boring corporate templates. No stock photos of people looking sad. We want fresh, energetic, and professional design that reflects the strength of the men we support. You’ll have a huge amount of creative freedom to shape how the world sees us from day one.

Sound like you?
If you’ve got a killer portfolio, a sharp eye for detail, and a passion for using your skills to make a massive difference, we want you in the studio.

Design the MINDSET Future

Ready to fuel a revolution in men’s growth?

At MINDSET, we’re building a brand-new start-up for men’s mental wellbeing and personal growth across England and Wales. We’ve got the vision and the drive, but to make a lasting impact, we need a Fundraising Lead who knows how to turn a bold mission into a sustainable reality.

We’re looking for a strategic, high-energy volunteer to hunt down opportunities, build powerful partnerships, and lead the charge in securing the resources we need to grow.

The Mission:

• The Grant Hunter: Research and write high-impact applications to secure the funding that builds our foundations.
• The Digital Architect: Launch creative online campaigns—from crowdfunding to viral social giving—that get the public behind us.
• The Power Broker: Build strategic partnerships with businesses, major donors, and companies who want to be part of a real solution for men.

The Vibe:
We’re moving away from the "guilt-trip" style of fundraising. We want someone who sells the vision and the strength of our work. This is a blank canvas for you to build a funding strategy that is as modern and direct as we are.

Sound like you?
If you’re a natural communicator with a sharp eye for opportunities and a passion for men’s self-improvement, let’s get the resources we need to change lives.
