Volunteer Photographer (Greater London)

As a charity, we want to be able to capture as much of our work on camera as possible so we can share all the amazing things that go on more widely.

In this role you will travel to events, shops, Mencap services and more in your local area to take photos. Your photos will then be shared by Mencap externally and internally to spread the word about our work and improve and update our photo bank. ​ ​

Who We're Looking For: We are looking for someone who is available ad hoc throughout the year (approximately 3-4 times a year and when you are able) to take photos of various events, take promotional or stock photos, and help as and when it is needed. You would need to be able to travel to London and the surrounding areas. You would ideally be available on April 6th to take photos at the London Landmarks Half Marathon.

You will need to have access to your own camera and ideally have some experience taking pictures. You will be happy that the photos you take will be for Mencap and not personal use. ​

What You'll Learn: You can get experience of photographing events and working in a professional setting within the external communications and marketing teams whilst also getting to learn about learning disability and what we do at Mencap.

About Mencap Mencap is the leading learning disability charity in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. We work with people with a learning disability and their families to challenge prejudice and change laws, and we directly support thousands of people to live their lives as they choose.

We have an ambitious vision for the UK to be the best place in the world for people with a learning disability to live happy and healthy lives.

Volunteering with us is YOUR opportunity to help us achieve this, whilst having the chance to develop your skills, meet new people and join a passionate and dedicated team.
