Help build a charity that changes lives, shifts systems, and opens doors for generations.

At Unlock YOUR Potential, we believe an “accident of birth” should never determine a person’s destination. We are a new London‑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 Newham and Tower Hamlets — two boroughs 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.

Our vision is to build a flagship model in East London that can grow, evolve, and expand beyond these two boroughs — creating a blueprint for social mobility that transforms communities across the UK.

Through enriching programmes, professional experiences, and empowering support, we champion ambition, connect individuals to meaningful opportunities, and help every person develop, grow, and excel. We believe success should be defined by talent, aspiration, and dedication — never background or circumstance.

We are now recruiting a volunteer Graphic Designer to help shape the visual identity of our charity at this pivotal early stage.

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.

Volunteer Role: Graphic Designer (Logo Designer)

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.

If you bring creativity, passion, and a commitment to social impact, we would love to hear from you.

Why join us?

1. Shape a new charity from day one

Your work will define our brand identity and help us communicate our mission with clarity and power.

2. Create a logo that represents real change

Your design will be seen by participants, partners, funders, volunteers, and communities across East London.

3. Lead with authenticity and heart

We welcome designers with lived experience, community roots, and non‑traditional backgrounds.

4. Build a flagship model for national impact

Your logo will become the face of a charity that aims to grow across the UK.

Who we’re looking for

We welcome applications from people who are:

• Passionate about design, branding, and visual storytelling

• Excited by the challenge of creating a logo for a start‑up charity

• Able to translate mission and values into strong visual identity

• Collaborative, reflective, and open to feedback

• Ready to bring their creativity, lived experience, and voice to the table

We particularly encourage applications from people from working‑class or low‑income backgrounds, people of colour, and those with lived experience of the barriers we aim to dismantle.

Time commitment

A flexible voluntary REMOTE role — design work can be completed remotely and at your own pace, with occasional check‑ins with the Founder.

Join us and help build a charity that unlocks potential, transforms futures, and uplifts communities.

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 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 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 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 Head of Brand, Partnerships & Impact, as well as the CEO 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, 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.

CLOSING DATE: Monday 30th March 2026, before 6pm
