We're looking for visionary leaders to join our passionate Board of Trustees – the very architects of SUNSHINE's future. As a founding Trustee, you won't just advise; you'll build, shape, and drive the strategic direction of a charity set to transform lives.

This is a challenging, yet incredibly rewarding opportunity to leverage your expertise at a pivotal moment. Imagine the profound satisfaction of knowing your guidance directly establishes our foundation, enables our growth, and creates a lasting impact on community wellbeing.

We urgently need Trustees with exceptional skills and a burning desire to make a difference, particularly for:

Alongside our crucial core leadership roles (Vice Chair, Secretary, Treasurer), we are specifically seeking Trustees with vital experience in:

• Fundraising & Grant Writing: To unlock the vital resources that will fuel our mission and expand our reach, securing our sustainable future.

• And more! If you have strategic leadership skills and expertise in any field related to charity set up, growth, and development – from legal and finance to operations and technology – we want to hear from you.

Why step up now? Because this is your chance to be part of something truly special from its very inception. Your leadership will directly enable SUNSHINE to get formally set up, registered, and launch the vital programmes that will change lives by fostering connection and combating isolation.

Are you ready to build a brighter future, one life-changing connection at a time? Are you passionate, dedicated, and committed to taking on this powerful challenge with flexible hours?
