Visual content is a powerful tool for charities. With photography, graphics, and video, your organisation can share its story and communicate your cause in ways that resonate emotionally with supporters. By making your website, blog, and social media channels more visually compelling, you can deepen connections with audiences, inspire engagement, and drive essential actions like donations, volunteer sign-ups, and advocacy.
In this guide, we’re going to show you how to make the most of visual content for your charity. You’ll learn how to create a cohesive visual identity that reflects your brand, choose impactful photography to tell your story, design custom graphics that engage supporters, and edit videos that bring your cause to life. Whether you’re using in-house images, free tools like Canva, or accessible video editors, we’ll provide tips and resources tailored for charities looking to increase engagement and inspire action.
Developing your charity’s visual identity
A charity’s brand identity extends beyond just its logo. A strong visual identity builds recognition, reinforces trust, and communicates the values of your cause. This identity includes elements like colour schemes, typography, and the style of photography and graphics you choose. Consistency across all touchpoints is key—it helps create a cohesive look and feel that audiences come to recognise and trust.
