In a world that sometimes feels disconnected, where shadows of loneliness can linger, there's a new light on the horizon. Introducing SUNSHINE, a grassroots charity born from a simple, powerful belief: no one should feel alone.

Loneliness can be a heavy burden, but it doesn't have to be a permanent one.

At SUNSHINE, we're dedicated to breaking down the walls of social isolation and building bridges of connection. Through our community activities, uplifting events, and heartfelt befriending services, we're creating spaces where people can truly belong.

We're not just a charity; we're a community of caring hearts, a hand to hold, and an ear to listen. We're here to turn a solitary journey into a shared adventure, to replace isolation with inspiration, and to remind every single person of their value.

This is a unique opportunity to use your skills for good and make a real impact from the ground up. You'll play a crucial role in creating the visual identity that draws people in and inspires them to act, whether it's seeking our support, volunteering their time, or helping us through donations.

What You'll Help Us Do:

• Create engaging social media content that generates excitement and awareness for SUNSHINE.

• Design impactful graphics to promote our community activities, events, and befriending services.

• Develop compelling visuals to encourage people to sign up for our programmes, volunteer with us, and support our cause in a number of ways, from donating to getting involved.

• Help us build a strong, recognisable brand identity that resonates with our mission of combating loneliness and bringing people together.

If you are a dependable, talented, and motivated designer who believes in our mission, we want to hear from you.

Join us in our mission to bring SUNSHINE into the lives of those who need it most. Together, we can transform lives, foster wellbeing, and help a little more sunshine into the world, one connection at a time.
