BrightSparks Arts is looking for a web designer
BrightSparks Arts is a Leicester based charity that supports people with severe and enduring mental illnesses through creative workshops, projects, events, exhibitions and publications. We have a strong presence in the local mental health community, and we are loved by our participants and respected by our partners and peers. BrightSparks Arts is proud of its grass roots authenticity and we are trusted to deliver high quality and meaningful provision to some of the most vulnerable people in our communities while retaining our inclusive and empowering approach.
Established 25 years ago, we have recently been undergoing a process of development, which has involved us growing our board of trustees, developing our income streams, and seeking new relationships with community, cultural and corporate partners in the local area and further afield. As part of this process, we have developed a new brand, which was driven by our participants, in line with everything we do.
We are now looking for a web designer to create a website that will serve our developing organisation’s needs as we continue to grow our reach and reputation. The website must appeal to both our participants and their families/friends and carers, and to our partners and potential corporate and individual supporters. As such, it’s important to us to retain and demonstrate our approachable and grass roots ethos, while communicating our very important role in supporting vulnerable people through creativity and the impact that has on participants and the local community more widely.
We would like to see a website that is clear and user friendly, that includes the following elements:
Information about the organisation - Board of Trustees, Participant Committee, Team, participants/case studies, our mission and values
Referrals process - information for mental health professionals and individuals/families – to include a referral form to complete online
Current programme – details of what we’re doing
Latest News - Headlines and sign up for our newsletter
Support Us – Sponsorship/corporate support info in a pdf we have development
Contact Us page
The website would need regular updates on the news, training and current programme pages. We would prefer a package to include training our Communications Manager to make these updates but would also consider an ongoing update arrangement with the designer.
The total fee available is £5000
The project would need to be completed between February and June 2026
If you are interested in applying please send your proposal, either in a document format of no more than 4 pages or a video of no more than 5 minutes, outlining your proposed approach, alongside your/your company’s portfolio and outline of experience with examples of your work to office@brightsparksart.uk
Proposals to be received by 5pm on Friday 16th January.
