EDV is an England and Wales registered charity which helps disaster-affected and at-risk communities worldwide find sustainable solutions to the problems they face. Our origins are European but our approach is global - we welcome volunteers and donros regardless of nationality!

As a small, relatively new charity, we can't employ a full time designer. This means that our mail outs have been very "samey samey" and are not engaging for our users. We want to take a fresh look at our email design and see if we can create more engaging, user friendly formats!

You can see a few examples of the kinds of mail outs we use - and how similar they are! - here.

This work will compliment further exciting developments for our charity. This summer, we'll relauch our website and change our name. In line with these changes, we'd love to revamp the look of our email communications. If you could help us design some new, engaging layouts - maybe even a "give now" button! - you'd be making a world of difference for our growing charity.
