GRAPHIC DESIGNER (Brand Identity & Guidelines Creator) - VOLUNTEER ROLE

Volunteer Role – SUNSHINE Charity

Location: Remote (London‑based preferred for occasional meet‑ups)

Commitment: Flexible — give as much time as you would like

Salary: Voluntary (with major portfolio value, real‑world brand development experience, and the chance to visually define a new London charity)

The Spark: Why We Need You

SUNSHINE is a grassroots London charity on a mission to tackle loneliness through positivity, vibrancy, and human connection. Our pop‑ups across Tower Hamlets and Inner London bring neon colour, bubble machines, uplifting messages, and warm conversation directly to the streets.

We’ve already created a bright, joyful visual identity using AI — but now we need a skilled Graphic Designer to bring it all together into a coherent, professional brand guidelines document.

Your work will become the foundation for every future designer, filmmaker, photographer, website developer, and creative who joins our movement.

You will help define how SUNSHINE looks, feels, and shines.

Your Mission: What You’ll Create

As our volunteer Graphic Designer, you will take the creative assets we’ve already developed and turn them into a polished, unified brand system.

You will:

• Create a full SUNSHINE Brand Guidelines document that clearly explains:

  • Our logo usage

  • Colour palette

  • Typography

  • Iconography

  • Layout styles

  • Photography style

  • Tone, mood, and visual personality

  • AI‑generated brand elements

  • Do’s and don’ts

  • Templates for future creatives

• Organise and refine our existing AI‑generated branding, ensuring it feels:

  • Positive

  • Uplifting

  • Vibrant

  • Human

  • Consistent

  • Professional

• Develop a coherent visual identity that reflects our mission to tackle loneliness with joy, warmth, and connection.

• Prepare a clear, easy‑to‑use brand pack that future graphic designers, website designers, photographers, and filmmakers can follow.

• Help shape the visual future of SUNSHINE, ensuring our brand remains instantly recognisable across London.

Your guidelines will become the creative backbone of the charity.

Who You Are (The Perfect Fit)

You don’t need agency experience or a design degree — but you do need a strong eye for design and a love for creating beautiful, coherent brand systems.

You are:

• A confident graphic designer with experience in branding or visual identity.

• Organised and detail‑focused, able to turn ideas into structured guidelines.

• Creative and expressive, with a passion for colour, positivity, and storytelling.

• Comfortable working with AI‑generated assets, refining and elevating them.

• Excited to help build a new London charity from the ground up.

Whether you’re a student, emerging designer, freelancer, or seasoned creative — if you want to use your talent to make a real impact, this role is for you.

Why Create With SUNSHINE?

• Portfolio Power: You’ll produce a full brand guidelines document — a major asset for any design portfolio.

• Creative Freedom: We encourage bold ideas, vibrant colour, and joyful design.

• Real Impact: Your work will help raise awareness of loneliness across London.
