Graphic Designer Volunteer

At Poplar HARCA, supporting our local communities, emotional wellbeing and physical health is important to us. Due to the pandemic, we suspended all our face to face community centre activities and launched an online community centre – HARCA Centres Unlocked to help.  The Community and Wellbeing team are looking for a Graphic Design Volunteer to help with the visual promotion of the online platform.

 

The volunteer will be working on:

  • Create engaging social media graphics for our Instagram, and Facebook accounts
  • Create short animated videos and Infographics for social media,
  • Assist in maintaining the creative strategy and the effective development of visual identity.

The option to work from home remotely or at one of our community centres is available.
