Help shape a greener, healthier and more sustainable future. 

Our client is one of the UK’s most inspiring environmental initiatives—restoring and connecting woodland, championing sustainability, and improving lives across 200 square miles in the Midlands and beyond. With 9.5 million trees already planted and national recognition as a pioneering regeneration model, the Forest is growing fast—in scope, scale and influence.

One of the new Trustees will also Chair our Land and Forestry Working Group, providing strategic oversight of our work on land, woodland creation and resilience. We are looking for candidates who can support and challenge with a real commitment to our vision.

We aim to guide, mentor, and inspire young people through positive role modelling, comprehensive personal development, and vital employability skills. We have our logo, but we need your creative expertise to bring our brand to life with an impactful, youth-friendly identity.

This is an incredible opportunity to apply your design skills to a meaningful social cause, helping us create a visual language that will attract young people to our programmes, inspire people to volunteer with us, and excite supporters to donate.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

We need a creative, and detail-oriented designer who understands how to connect with a youth audience through visuals. We have a logo already but need to create a positive youth brand around it.

In this vital set-up phase, you will be instrumental in:

• Developing a Brand Styling Guide: Collaborating with our team to build a comprehensive visual identity guide. This includes defining our brand colours, typography, imagery style (including photography and illustration direction), logo usage, and overall design principles to ensure a cohesive, youthful and impactful look.

• Designing Core Communication Materials: Creating templates and initial designs for:

  • Social media posts: Engaging graphics for Instagram.

  • Information booklets: Designing layouts for programme information, volunteer guides, or impact reports.

  • Presentation templates: Creating professional and appealing templates for pitches to funders and partners.

• Ensuring Brand Consistency: Helping to apply the new brand identity across all our communications, ensuring everything we produce feels distinctly REMIX.

• Visual Storytelling: Translating REMIX's mission and impact into compelling visual narratives that resonate with our audiences.

WHAT WE OFFER:

• The unique chance to define the visual brand of a brand-new charity, directly shaping how we are perceived by thousands.

• An incredible opportunity to apply your design expertise to a profound social cause, seeing your work directly attract young people, inspire volunteers, and secure vital support.

• High levels of creative input and ownership in a dynamic start-up environment.

• Collaboration with a passionate and strategic Board of Trustees and the founding team.

• The deep satisfaction of knowing your designs will help "remix young lives" and build a brighter future for London.

This is a voluntary role to help us establish our core brand identity and initial materials. We are flexible and can work around your availability, including the hours you can support us with. We're also ok if you're only able to support us with only one of these items.

READY TO DESIGN A BRIGHTER FUTURE WITH REMIX?

If you are a talented and passionate graphic designer eager to leave your creative mark on a transformative cause, we'd love to hear from you.

Help us design the visual identity that will inspire and empower us to "remix young lives" across London!
