Community manager volunteer volunteer roles

COULD YOU BE SUNSHINE’S FIRST COMMUNITY MANAGER?

We are SUNSHINE Charity — a brand‑new start‑up on a mission to reduce loneliness and help people feel connected, valued and part of a community across London and beyond.

Help Us Build Something That Could Change Lives

• What if one conversation could change someone’s day?
• What if one community event, one shared laugh or one new friendship could remind someone that they matter?

At SUNSHINE, we believe nobody should have to face loneliness alone.

We’re building welcoming, joyful community spaces where people can meet, connect and discover that they belong — and we need kind, creative people to help make that vision real.

We’re looking for a warm, organised and people‑focused Volunteer to join us as our first Community Manager to help us set up, develop and manage community activities, events and public engagement across London.

This is one of our earliest and most impactful volunteer roles. You’ll help shape the heart of SUNSHINE’s community presence from day one.

About the Volunteer Role: Community Manager

As our Community Manager, you’ll work closely with our Founder & CEO to create and deliver community activities that bring people together, spark friendships and reduce loneliness in real, human ways.

You’ll help us design and run our first community events — from small local gatherings to creative workshops — and you’ll lead SUNSHINE’s presence at public fairs, festivals and community celebrations.

You don’t need decades of experience. You just need empathy, creativity, organisation and a passion for building spaces where people feel welcome and connected.

You might help with:

• Setting up and managing SUNSHINE’s first community activities and events. From tea‑and‑chat meetups to creative workshops, walks, social groups and more.

• Developing new community ideas and activities that help reduce loneliness and build belonging.

• Creating warm, safe and welcoming environments where people feel comfortable connecting with others.

• Leading SUNSHINE’s presence at public events, including community stalls, outreach activities, workshops and local fairs.

• Building relationships with local partners, community organisations, venues and volunteers.

• Managing event logistics, scheduling, materials, volunteers and on‑the‑day coordination.

• Gathering feedback and learning to help shape our long‑term community strategy.

• Bringing joy, imagination and human warmth to everything we create.

Even a few hours each week could help build community spaces that change someone’s life.

Why Join SUNSHINE?

• Shape the community activities of a brand‑new charity from the very beginning.

• Work directly with the Founder & CEO.

• Gain hands‑on experience in community building, event management and public engagement.

• Help create places where friendships begin.

• Join a small, compassionate team who believe in kindness and human connection.

• Make a meaningful difference to people experiencing loneliness.

Most importantly…

You’ll help ensure fewer people have to face loneliness alone.

A Personal Message From Our Founder

“I started SUNSHINE because I watched someone I love experience a loneliness that no one should ever have to endure.

That experience taught me something I’ll never forget: everyone deserves friendship, belonging and to feel seen.

SUNSHINE is my promise that we’ll create places where people feel welcomed, valued and connected — but I know I can’t build that future on my own.

I’m not looking for experts.

I’m looking for kind people who believe that together we can make a real difference.

If that sounds like you, I’d love to hear from you.”

— Scott, Founder, SUNSHINE Charity

Changing Men’s Mindsets and Supporting Them On Their Mental Wellbeing And Personal Growth Journey

Become a Community Wish Maker in Scotland (North, South, East & West)

Right now, 93 children in the Scotland are waiting for their life changing wish — part of a much bigger picture of children across the UK still waiting for theirs. You can help make that happen, from as little as one hour a month.

Help Make Wishes Come True 

Every pound you help raise goes directly towards granting wishes for children facing critical illnesses, creating hope, joy, and unforgettable memories for families who need it most. 

What Makes This Role Different? 

This is a flexible, ad hoc, volunteer-led role that fits around your lifestyle and commitments. There are no set fundraising targets or fixed weekly hours. You decide how you'd like to support Make-A-Wish and how much time you can give. 

Fundraising is at the heart of this role and is driven by your own ideas, local connections, and enthusiasm. Whether it's organising a community event, engaging local businesses, securing donations, or encouraging others to get involved, you'll help generate the funds needed to grant wishes. We'll provide guidance, resources, and support along the way. 

How You'll Get Started 

Getting started as a Community Wish Maker is simple. Within your first few months, you'll choose a fundraising activity from our Community Fundraising Toolkit or create your own fundraising idea. 

You can: 

- Organise an activity independently
- Fundraise with friends, family or colleagues 
- Team up with other local Community Wish Makers 
- Support an existing Make-A-Wish fundraising campaign or event 
- Whether it's a bake sale, quiz night, sponsored challenge, workplace fundraiser, school activity or local business partnership, you'll be helping raise the funds needed to grant more wishes

We'll provide resources, guidance and support to help you succeed

What We're Looking For 

You don't need fundraising experience—just enthusiasm, initiative, and a desire to make a difference. 

We're looking for people who are: 

- Confident building relationships and engaging others 
- Self-motivated and proactive 
- Creative in finding fundraising opportunities 
- Organised and reliable 
- Positive, enthusiastic, and passionate about helping others 

What we will do for you: 

- You will receive a 12 week induction training
- Community Fundraising Volunteer Toolkit to help you get started 
- A one-to-one introductory phone call with a member of our team 
- Materials to get you started in your role 
- A dedicated Volunteer manager 
- Access to connections & networks in your region 
- Make-A-Wish email address / ID Badge / Letter of Authority to help with your fundraising
- Help & support you with ideas and steward you as much as you would like
- Regular volunteer newsletters with updates, opportunities, and useful information 

Commitment 

Aged 18 or over 

Commitment of at least 12 months 

If you're passionate about making a difference and enjoy bringing people together to raise funds for a great cause, we'd love to hear from you.
