  • Web design (including UX/UI), We are seeking a dedicated volunteer with web development experience to lead the redesign and overhaul of our charity's website. This website is a crucial touchpoint for survivors of domestic abuse, as well as for supporters and professionals and organisation we work with and/or support., While possessing all of these skills would be ideal, we welcome volunteers who specialise in any of these areas and are passionate about contributing to our cause.


  • Web Development Expertise: Proficient in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and other relevant web design coding languages.

    Experience with Content Management Systems: Familiarity with platforms like WordPress, Joomla, or Drupal for efficient website management.

    UI/UX Design Skills: Ability to create user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing website interfaces.

    Responsive Design Knowledge: Skilled in designing websites that function effectively on various devices and screen sizes.

    Graphic Design Ability: Competence in graphic design tools such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or similar software for creating visuals.

    MyCWA supports thousands of adults and children impacted by domestic abuse each year. Last year alone, we provided critical assistance to nearly 4,000 individuals. However, recent funding cuts have put many of these essential services at risk, threatening our ability to reach and support the most vulnerable in our community.

    While we recognise the crucial role a well-designed website plays in a charity's success, we currently lack the internal resources and expertise to undertake this overhaul.

    The importance of volunteers at MyCWA cannot be overstated. Your contribution, especially in web development, is not just valuable-it is essential. By creating a website that is easy to navigate for survivors, engaging and compelling for potential supporters, and professionally presented, you will help us sustain and expand our vital services.
