GRAPHIC DESIGNER (WITH EXPERIENCE) - VOLUNTEER ROLE

• Design the Look.
• Shape the Feel.
• Help Bring SUNSHINE to Life.

SUNSHINE is stepping boldly into Phase 2 of our journey — and this is the moment where everything begins to take shape.

Our Board of Trustees is appointed and working with passion. Our charity application is submitted. Our vision is clear, our mission is alive, and our purpose has never been more urgent.

Now, we are ready for the next chapter — and we cannot write it without you.

The Role: Bring SUNSHINE to Life Through Design

As a 100% volunteer‑run and volunteer‑led start‑up charity, we are searching for an experienced, creative, and vibrant Graphic Designer to help shape the visual identity of SUNSHINE.

This is not just a role. This is an opportunity to craft the visuals, energy, and aesthetic of a movement designed to transform loneliness into belonging across London and beyond.

You will help us create a visual presence that is:

• Uplifting — radiating warmth, hope, and positivity.

• Attention‑grabbing — bold, memorable, and full of life.

• Team‑spirited — reflecting the joy and unity of our community.

• Impactful — inspiring people to connect, volunteer, and get involved.

You Will Lead On:

Designing and producing a wide range of promotional and brand assets, including:

• Roller banners for events, fairs, and community outreach.

• Business stationery, including:

  • Letterheads.

• Helping shape the visual language that will define SUNSHINE for years to come.

If you believe in the power of design to spark emotion, connection, and community spirit, this is your moment.

Why SUNSHINE?

• Because loneliness is not just a feeling — it is a public health crisis.
• Because too many people are navigating life without a social network to hold them.

SUNSHINE exists to change that.

Our Vision

Our Mission

To foster connection and enhance wellbeing by creating inclusive, joyful, supportive environments where people come together and truly belong.

Our Values

• Compassion.
• Joy.
• Inclusivity.

These aren’t just words — they are the heartbeat of everything we do.

Why You Matter

As a Graphic Designer, you will be one of the first people to shape how SUNSHINE is seen, felt, and remembered.

Your creativity will help:

• Raise awareness of loneliness and its impact.

• Inspire people to join our movement.

• Bring our programmes and opportunities to life.

• Create a visual identity that radiates hope, joy, and belonging.

• Build a brand that feels warm, human, and unmistakably SUNSHINE.

Your designs will help create a world where no one feels alone.

This Is Your Call to Action

If you have experience in graphic design, branding, visual communication, motion graphics, or digital content creation — and if your heart beats for connection, compassion, and community — we would love to welcome you into the SUNSHINE family.

Join us as we build something meaningful, hopeful, and life‑changing. Join us as we bring SUNSHINE to London and beyond. Join us as we create a movement where everyone belongs.

Ready to Make a Difference?

• Step forward.
• Be part of our founding volunteer team.
• Help us build a brighter, kinder, more connected world.

Apply today and help us bring SUNSHINE to life.

This Is Not a Typical Content Creator Call-Out

To do that, we are intentionally recruiting hundreds to thousands of content creators globally. This is not about chasing virality. This is not influencer culture. This is not one brand voice. This is about collective creation at scale, community ownership of narrative, and building systems that give many people opportunity—not just a few.
