Volunteer Website Photographer
MumsAid
To support MumsAid in visually communicating its mission and values by creating a new collection of images for the organisation’s updated website and communications. The volunteer will produce photography that authentically represents the diversity, warmth, and professionalism of MumsAid’s community and services.
MumsAid is a small, award-winning charity, based in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. We offer localised and national services including counselling, groups for mums and advocacy services. We also work with clinical practitioners to improve the quality of perinatal healthcare through training, supervision and consultancy. The current website was created early in the organisation’s formation, in 2012. We are in the process of updating it, both inline with newer website best practice and our stronger brand presence. Our aim with this project is to create imagery, primarily for the website, which more accurately reflects our service users and team. As a client-centred and therpeutic organisation, we need to find a balance of approachability and professionalism. There is some challenge in balancing the need to appear as unintimidating as possible to mums, whilst also portraying our expertise. Stylistically we would like to produce natural, candid and clean images, as far as possible. We work with people who may be in relative crisis around their mental health, so we want to portray the safety, welcome and non-judgement they will experience in using our service. We have an existing body of imagery, which was taken when we won our GSK award, which offers an excellent example of the style of imagery we need. However, these images only portray young mums and we need to be broader in our portrayal.
