Build a Community of Connection with SUNSHINE

We are a brand NEW start-up Charity and WE need YOUR Help!

Loneliness is a quiet crisis. It doesn’t shout—it whispers. It hides behind closed doors, in empty chairs, in the silence of a phone that never rings. In London, thousands of people are facing this reality every day, and the emotional toll is devastating—impacting mental health, physical wellbeing, and the very fabric of our communities.

SUNSHINE is a brand new, 100% volunteer-run grassroots charity on a mission to change that. We’re creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, and valued. But to do that, we need a vibrant, empowered volunteer community—and that’s where you come in.

Why This Role Matters

Volunteers are the lifeblood of SUNSHINE. They’re the ones who bring warmth to coffee mornings, compassion to befriending calls, and energy to community events. As our Volunteering Development Manager, you’ll be the architect of this community. You’ll design systems, nurture relationships, and create a culture where every volunteer feels proud, supported, and inspired, feeling the SUNSHINE Experience deep within them that bonds us all as family.

This is more than recruitment—it’s about building belonging.

What You’ll Do

• Develop inclusive, emotionally resonant volunteer pathways.

• Create role descriptions and onboarding processes that reflect SUNSHINE’s values.

• Foster a culture of appreciation, growth, and connection among volunteers.

• Collaborate with programme leads to match volunteers to meaningful roles.

• Help shape the long-term strategy for volunteer engagement and retention.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience in volunteer management, HR, or community development (professional or volunteer).

• A deep belief in the power of people to create change.

• Emotional intelligence, adaptability, and a collaborative spirit.

• A passion for building inclusive, values-driven spaces.

What You’ll Gain

• The chance to build a volunteer community that transforms lives.

• A role at the heart of a charity that’s rewriting the story of loneliness.

• A team of visionary changemakers who value your voice and leadership.

• Purpose, legacy, and the joy of watching connection bloom.

Let’s build a volunteer community that radiates warmth. Let’s be the sunshine.

L’Arche Liverpool is a community where people with and without learning disabilities share life together, building meaningful relationships and supporting one another. We believe that everyone has gifts to share and that by living, working, and celebrating together we discover the value of each person.

As a volunteer, you will be welcomed into a vibrant, diverse, and supportive community. Volunteers play an important role in:

• Accompanying core members (people with learning disabilities) in daily life, activities, and social outings.

• Providing practical support (help with meals, appointments, or community events).

• Building friendships — sharing meals, conversations, and everyday life.

• Contributing your own gifts — whether that’s music, cooking, creativity, or simply your presence.

No prior experience is required — what matters most is openness, patience, and a willingness to learn and grow alongside others. In return, volunteers often discover that they receive as much as they give, through the relationships they build and the sense of belonging in community.

At L’Arche Liverpool, volunteering is more than helping — it’s about mutual friendship, growth, and inclusion.
