Marketing & Communications Volunteers

What will you be doing?

Films for Humanity has produced six films since 2019, on mental health, domestic violence, drunk driving, kindness, Black history and conversion therapy. In 2026 we rebranded from Filming for Humanity, and in 2027 we are growing: registering a charity alongside our Community Interest Company (CIC), forming a new leadership board, and releasing our major production, The Faceless Dance of Love.

Our founder leads marketing personally and is building a small, hands-on team around her. We are recruiting several volunteers, each focusing on one or two of the areas below, depending on your skills and interests.

What you will be doing:

Social media
- Planning, creating and scheduling posts for Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook and YouTube (3–5 a week across the team)
- Engaging with our community in comments and messages

Newsletter & CRM
- Writing and sending our newsletter
- Keeping our CRM (GoHighLevel) clean and up to date: contacts, tags, email journeys and automations

PR & press
- Building a media list, drafting press releases and pitching our films and campaigns to journalists and podcasts

Community engagement
- Welcoming new supporters, members and volunteers, and keeping them involved
- Helping with screenings, events and online campaigns

Content & reporting
- Helping with graphics, short video clips and captions, in line with our 2026 brand
- Tracking what works and sharing a simple monthly report

You will work directly with our founder, with a short weekly check-in online and clear priorities each month.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for self-starters: people who see what needs doing, take ownership and follow through, without waiting to be asked.

Most important:
- Reliability: you do what you say you will, when you say you will
- Experience or strong interest in at least one of our areas: social media, newsletters and email marketing, CRM, PR, or community engagement
- Comfort working remotely and independently, with a short weekly check-in
- Confidence with digital tools, or a willingness to learn our CRM (GoHighLevel) and scheduling tools quickly

Also valuable:
- Content skills: writing, Canva or graphic design, or short-form video editing
- Experience in film, media, the arts or the charity sector
- A warm, collaborative approach, and a commitment to telling difficult stories with dignity

This is a great role for marketing professionals who want to give back, career changers building a portfolio, and students or graduates in marketing, media or communications. We warmly welcome applicants with lived experience of the issues our films address, and people from backgrounds under-represented in film and media.

What difference will you make?

Small charities do extraordinary work, but most cannot afford to tell their story on film. Films for Humanity changes that: we make free, professionally produced films for charities with an income under £150,000, and we take those films into schools to start conversations with young people.

A film only creates change if people watch it. Every post you schedule, every newsletter you send and every journalist you reach helps a story travel further: more people understanding a cause they had never thought about, more support for a small charity, and more young people seeing difficult issues handled with honesty and dignity.

Visibility also funds the mission. A recognised brand makes it easier to secure the sponsors and grants that pay for free films, and our ambition is to support twelve charities a year.

You will also grow. You will work directly with our founder, gain hands-on experience across social media, CRM, PR and community building in a real film studio, and see your work in release campaigns for films that matter. We are happy to provide references and LinkedIn recommendations for volunteers who commit for six months or more.
