Volunteer Graphic Designer – Help Us Bring SUNSHINE to Life
Use your creativity to spark hope, raise our profile, and help us shine across the community
Loneliness is one of the quietest but most painful epidemics of our time. Every day, people across our communities wake up feeling invisible, disconnected, and alone.
SUNSHINE was created to change that.
We are a small, grassroots, community‑led, 100% volunteer‑run charity with one mission: to bring sunshine into the lives of people who feel forgotten.
But to reach the people who need us most, we need to be seen. We need to be recognised. We need to create a buzz of hope.
And that’s where you come in.
Join Us as Our Volunteer Graphic Designer
This is a role for someone who believes that design can change how people feel — someone who knows that a single poster, a single social media graphic, a single banner can spark curiosity, connection, and joy.
Your creativity will help us:
-
Raise our profile in the community.
-
Attract volunteers, supporters, and partners.
-
Spread hope through uplifting visuals.
-
Build a recognisable, joyful brand that people trust.
-
Put SUNSHINE firmly on the map.
Whether you want to design one‑off pieces or support us regularly, your contribution will make a real difference.
You will help us create:
-
Posters and flyers.
-
Social media graphics.
-
Event banners and signage.
-
Business stationery.
-
Campaign visuals.
-
And other creative assets that help SUNSHINE shine.
Why this role matters
Every connection we make… Every volunteer we recruit… Every person we reach…
It all begins with visibility.
Your designs will:
-
Help people discover SUNSHINE for the first time.
-
Bring warmth, colour, and hope into our messaging.
-
Make our mission feel alive, vibrant, and human.
-
Inspire people to get involved, donate, or seek support.
-
Help us stand out as a joyful, community‑led movement.
You won’t just be designing graphics. You’ll be designing impact.
Who we’re looking for
You don’t need to be a professional designer. You don’t need a huge portfolio. You just need:
-
Creativity and a love for visual storytelling.
-
Experience with design tools (Canva, Adobe, or similar).
-
A warm, positive, uplifting approach.
-
An eye for colour, layout, and emotional impact.
-
A desire to help a young charity grow.
-
A belief that design can change how people feel.
If you’ve ever wanted to use your creativity for something meaningful — something that brings light into dark places — this is your moment.
Bring your light. Help us bring theirs.
SUNSHINE is more than a charity. It’s a community. A movement. A promise that no one should have to face life alone.
If this role speaks to you, even softly, we’d love to hear from you. Your creativity could help us build a future where every person feels seen, valued, and connected.
