Remote Volunteer Web Developer Youth Charity

We're looking for a volunteer web developer to help us create a website that truly reflects Magic Club today. You'll help us tell our story, celebrate young people's achievements and make it easier for families, supporters and funders to connect with us and our work.

For many people, our website is their first introduction to Magic Club. It might be a parent looking for somewhere safe for their child to spend their evenings, a young person deciding whether to come along for the first time, someone considering volunteering, a funder researching our work, or a local business thinking about making a donation.

We want our website to reflect what people experience when they walk through our doors a place that's welcoming, full of energy, ambitious for young people and rooted in our community. At the moment, it doesn't quite do that.

By volunteering with us, you'll help create something that will support the charity for years to come. A stronger website will help us tell our story more clearly, celebrate the achievements of the young people we work with and make it easier for people to understand the difference their support can make.

It will also help us communicate more effectively with families, attract new volunteers, strengthen funding applications and encourage more people to donate, helping us keep all of our activities free for local young people.

The finished website will become something we use every day. Every new family who joins Magic Club, every volunteer who signs up, every funder who learns about our work and every supporter who chooses to donate will benefit from the time and expertise you've shared. That's a lasting impact, and one we'll be incredibly grateful for.

We're looking for someone with experience of designing and/or developing websites who enjoys creating sites that are clear, engaging and easy to use.

You don't need to have worked with charities before, but we'd love someone who's interested in what we do and enjoys using their skills to make a positive difference.

Ideally, you'll have experience of

• website development (Word Press or other suitable platforms)
• user experience (UX) and responsive design
• accessibility and good web design principles
• advising on the best technical approach for a project
• creating websites that are easy for non‑technical people (us!) to update and maintain.

Just as importantly, we're looking for someone who enjoys working collaboratively. You'll be working mainly with me, but we'd also like to involve our staff team, young people and members of the local community in shaping the finished website. We'd love someone who's open to listening, sharing ideas and helping us find the best solutions together.

We're not expecting you to have all the answers on day one. If you're happy to explain things in plain English, make recommendations and guide us through the process, we'll provide everything you need from our side, including the content, photography and a good understanding of what makes Magic Club, Magic Club.

Most of all, we're looking for someone who's excited by the idea of helping a small youth charity create a website that better reflects the incredible young people we work with and the impact they have on our community.

Magic Club is a youth charity based in Claremont, Blackpool, supporting young people aged 7–18 through free youth clubs, trips, holiday activities, leadership opportunities and one‑to‑one support. We exist to help young people dream big, develop strong foundations and reach their fullest potential.

People often ask about our name. Magic Club is based in a building that was once home to Blackpool's famous Magicians' Club. It's some proper Blackpool heritage, and although the magic looks a little different these days, the name has stayed with us.

We're looking for a volunteer web developer to help us create a website that better reflects who we are today.

Our current website has served us well, but we've grown a lot over the last few years. We'd love a website that feels more engaging, celebrates the amazing things our young people achieve, and makes it easy…
