Volunteer WordPress Web Developer for Youth Charity

Help transform a growing youth charity’s online presence. We have WordPress hosting and a basic site ready—we need a volunteer web developer to create an engaging website that showcases our services, attracts funding, and helps us reach more young people.

A professional website will transform our charity.

As a small but ambitious organisation, we’re currently missing opportunities to secure grants, corporate partnerships and donations because we don’t yet have a website that properly reflects who we are and the impact we make.

Your work will create the first impression for funders, supporters, volunteers, referral agencies and families seeking support. It will provide a trusted platform to showcase our programmes, share success stories, promote events and make it easier for people to get involved.

Most importantly, your contribution will directly help us secure more funding. Every successful grant application, corporate partnership or donation made possible by the website will help us deliver more mentoring, wellbeing programmes, therapeutic adventures and life‑changing opportunities for children and young people across Greater Manchester and the North West.

This isn’t just about building a website—it’s about helping a growing charity reach more young people, expand our services and create lasting impact in communities that need it most.

Your skills could help change thousands of lives over the coming years.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about using their skills to make a real difference.

Ideally, you’ll have experience developing WordPress websites and be confident creating modern, responsive, user-friendly websites. Experience with page builders such as Elementor, SEO best practices, accessibility and website optimisation would be highly valued.

You don’t need to be a professional agency or senior developer—we welcome experienced professionals, freelancers, students, or anyone with the right skills and enthusiasm to support a meaningful cause.

• Experienced using WordPress
• Creative with a good eye for design and user experience
• Comfortable working independently while collaborating with our team
