HELP US LAUNCH MINDSET — AND CHANGE MEN & BOYS’ LIVES IN LONDON

We’re MINDSET Charity, a bold new start‑up charity in London on a mission to equip and empower men and boys with the tools they need for better mental health.

We’re building something powerful — a stigma‑free space where men and boys can learn real, non‑clinical and non‑therapeutic practical skills that strengthen resilience, boost wellbeing and create lasting change. Through motivational interviewing, solution‑focused approaches, self‑improvement practices, life coaching, mentoring and more, we will help men and boys build better habits, better mindsets and a better quality of life.

And right now, we’re getting set up and ready to launch — and we need Admin & Compliance Team Volunteers to help us build the foundations that make everything run smoothly.

YOUR IMPACT WILL BE HUGE

You’ll be joining at the very beginning — helping shape the essential systems, documents and processes that allow MINDSET to operate safely, professionally and confidently.

The Admin & Compliance Team is the backbone of our start‑up phase. Your work will directly influence:

• how quickly we can register as a charity

• how smoothly our operations run

• how organised and efficient our teams become

• how safe and compliant our programmes are

• how ready we are to launch within the next few months

This is your chance to be part of something meaningful at the very start — shaping a charity that will genuinely change lives across our capital.

WE’RE RECRUITING FOR TWO KEY ADMIN & COMPLIANCE ROLES

1. Admin Support Volunteer

The organiser and coordinator. You’ll help us stay structured, organised and efficient by supporting day‑to‑day admin tasks, managing documents, creating templates, organising files, and helping build the internal systems that keep MINDSET running smoothly.

2. Policy & Compliance Assistant

The detail‑focused safety champion. You’ll help review, format and organise policies, support compliance tasks, assist with charity registration paperwork, and ensure our documents meet best practice standards for safeguarding, data protection and health & safety.

WHAT YOU CAN HELP US BUILD

1. Admin & Organisation

• Creating and organising folders

• Drafting templates (forms, checklists, documents)

• Formatting policies and procedures

• Managing shared drives and internal systems

• Supporting communication between teams

2. Compliance & Documentation

• Formatting governance documents

• Supporting charity registration tasks

3. Start‑Up Support

• Ensuring documents are accessible, organised and easy to use

• Helping create the systems that future teams will rely on

If you love organisation, detail, structure and helping things run smoothly — this is the perfect role for you.

WE’RE NOT JUST LOOKING FOR ANYONE

We’re especially interested in people who:

• thrive on the challenge of setting up a new charity

• enjoy organising, structuring and improving systems

• have an eye for detail and clarity

• aren’t afraid to get stuck in, hands‑on, alongside volunteers

• bring calm, order and reliability to a fast‑moving start‑up

• want to help create a charity that will make a real difference in men’s lives

If you’re someone who loves building strong foundations — this is your moment.

HELP US BUILD THE SUNSHINE EXPERIENCE!

Location: London / Hybrid
Time commitment: A few hours per week, flexible
Type: Volunteer
Organisation: SUNSHINE Charity

WE'RE BUILDING SOMETHING SPECIAL. COME BUILD IT WITH US.

SUNSHINE Charity is a new grassroots London charity with a big mission:

To smash loneliness and social isolation through positivity, human connection, community and belonging — bringing SUNSHINE into people's lives.

We're building community-based activities, programmes and opportunities designed to help people feel connected, included, valued and part of something.

But we can't do it alone.

And we're now looking for three brilliant volunteers to join us at the heart of our Volunteer Leadership Team.

We're looking for:

1. HEAD OF VOLUNTEERING

The person who helps build and lead the whole SUNSHINE Volunteer Programme.

2. VOLUNTEER RECRUITMENT LEAD

The person who helps us find the amazing people who want to bring SUNSHINE into people's lives.

3. VOLUNTEER ONBOARDING & TRAINING LEAD

The person who turns enthusiastic new recruits into confident, capable SUNSHINE volunteers.

These aren't traditional "sit quietly in the background" volunteer roles.

You'll be helping us build SUNSHINE from the ground up.

1. HEAD OF VOLUNTEERING

Could YOU build a volunteer community, people love being part of?

We're looking for an enthusiastic, people-focused and organised volunteer to become our Head of Volunteering and help us design, build and lead SUNSHINE's Volunteer Programme.

You'll be the strategic lead for volunteering and work closely with our Founder to turn our vision for volunteering into a vibrant, welcoming and well-organised community.

YOU'LL HELP US:

1. Design and develop the SUNSHINE Volunteer Programme.
2. Build our volunteer recruitment strategy.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO IS:

• People-focused
• Organised
• Positive
• Confident
• Collaborative
• Creative
• Reliable

Experience in volunteer management, community development, HR, people management or a similar environment would be fantastic — but attitude, initiative and a genuine belief in SUNSHINE matter just as much.

We want someone who can build, learn, lead and make things happen.

2. VOLUNTEER RECRUITMENT LEAD

CAN YOU HELP US FIND THE PEOPLE WHO WILL BRING SUNSHINE TO LIFE?

We're looking for a creative, outgoing and people-focused volunteer to help us recruit the amazing people who will become part of our growing volunteer community.

You'll work alongside our Head of Volunteering to help SUNSHINE attract the right people — not just more people.

YOU'LL HELP US:

1. Create exciting volunteer recruitment campaigns.
2. Write engaging volunteer adverts.
3. Promote opportunities across London.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO IS:

• Sociable

• A great communicator
• Organised
• Enthusiastic
• People-focused

1. Maybe you've worked in recruitment.
2. Maybe you've worked in HR.
3. Maybe you've recruited volunteers before.
4. Or maybe you're simply brilliant with people and know how to get people excited about an opportunity.

If you can spot potential, tell the SUNSHINE story and make people think:

"I WANT TO BE PART OF THIS!"

We want to hear from you.

3. VOLUNTEER ONBOARDING & TRAINING LEAD

HELP US TURN "I'D LOVE TO HELP" INTO "I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING!"

Recruiting great volunteers is only the beginning.

We want every person who joins SUNSHINE to feel welcomed, prepared, supported, confident and living and breathing the SUNSHINE Experience.

That's where you come in.

We're looking for someone who can help us build an engaging volunteer onboarding and training experience from the ground up.

YOU'LL HELP US:

1. Develop our volunteer onboarding journey.
2. Create engaging induction sessions.
3. Help develop volunteer training materials.
4. Coordinate mandatory training.
5. Support safeguarding and boundaries training.
6. Help volunteers understand their roles and responsibilities.
7. Support training around communication and participant engagement.
8. Track training completion.
9. Help volunteers through their first 30, 60 and 90 days.
10. Identify additional training and development opportunities.
11. Work with our Head of Volunteering to continually improve the volunteer experience.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO IS:

• Patient
• Encouraging

Training, learning & development, teaching, coaching, volunteer management or people development experience would be fantastic.

If you love helping people grow in confidence and you're excited by the idea of creating something from scratch, we'd love to meet you.

WHY JOIN SUNSHINE?

Because this isn't about filling a gap on a spreadsheet.

YOU'LL HELP BUILD A COMMUNITY.

A community where volunteers feel:

1. WELCOME.
2. CONNECTED.
3. VALUED.
4. SUPPORTED.
5. INSPIRED.

And where those volunteers can help us create those same feelings for people experiencing loneliness and social isolation.

You'll have the opportunity to shape how SUNSHINE recruits, welcomes, trains and supports its volunteers from the very beginning.

You'll have ideas?

BRING THEM.

See something we could do better?

TELL US.

Want to build something new?

LET'S BUILD IT.

THIS IS A START-UP — AND THAT'S THE EXCITING BIT!

SUNSHINE isn't a huge established organisation with 50 years of policies, procedures and bureaucracy.

We're at the beginning.

That means you won't just be maintaining something someone else built.

• YOU'LL HELP BUILD IT.
• You'll help shape our culture.
• You'll help shape our systems.
• You'll help shape our volunteer experience.
• You'll help shape our community.
• And you'll get to see your ideas become reality.

WORKING WITH THE FOUNDER

All three roles will work closely with our Founder and the wider SUNSHINE leadership team.

We're looking for people who are comfortable working in a start-up environment where things move quickly, ideas evolve and everyone sometimes has to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in.

We don't expect perfection.

We expect energy, honesty, initiative, teamwork and a willingness to learn.

FLEXIBLE & HYBRID

These are flexible volunteer roles and the majority of work can be carried out remotely.

We'd love volunteers who can occasionally join us in person in Tower Hamlets and across Inner London, particularly for things such as:

• Volunteer recruitment sessions
• Volunteer inductions
• Training
• Volunteer meetings
• Community events
• Team activities & socials

The exact time commitment can be agreed around your availability.

We're looking for people who can give a few hours a week and who are able to make a consistent commitment.

WHO IS SUNSHINE LOOKING FOR?

We're much more interested in what you can bring than a perfect CV.

• You might be an experienced volunteer manager.
• You might be an HR professional.
• You might work in recruitment.
• You might be a trainer, coach or educator.
• You might have experience building communities.

Or you might simply be someone who is brilliant with people, full of ideas and wants to use your skills for something that matters.

1. If you are passionate about people...
2. If you love bringing people together...
3. If you're excited by the idea of building something from scratch...
4. If you want your volunteering to have a real impact...

URBAN YOUTH — VOLUNTEER PROGRAMME LEAD / VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR

Build the volunteer movement powering London’s next generation.

Postcodes shouldn’t be destinies. URBAN YOUTH is a volunteer-powered movement disrupting traditional youth work by delivering high-impact, urban-style scaffolding for young Londoners. No red tape. No waiting lists. No corporate youth centres. Just raw opportunity, dropped directly into the heart of the city.

We will transform empty shops, concrete cages, community centres and street-side studios into pop-up hubs of creativity, culture and skill-building — all delivered for free, all powered by volunteers, all designed to open doors that have been closed for too long.

To make this happen, we need a Volunteer Programme Lead / Volunteer Coordinator who can build an unforgettable volunteer experience — a programme that attracts, energises and retains a diverse community of volunteers who want to be part of something bold, fast, and meaningful.

This is not an admin role. This is culture-building, people-powered, start-up leadership.

If you’ve ever wanted to create a volunteer movement from scratch, this is your moment.

Your Role: Build the Volunteer Destination

As our Volunteer Programme Lead, you will design and deliver the entire volunteer experience at Urban Youth — from recruitment and onboarding to motivation, culture, recognition and long-term engagement.

• Coordinate rotas, roles and responsibilities across our pop-up programmes

• Motivate and support volunteers during sessions, ensuring they feel valued and confident

• Lead on volunteer communications, updates, recognition and community-building

• Make Urban Youth a destination to volunteer — a place people are proud to be part of

Your leadership will help ensure every volunteer feels connected, empowered and ready to deliver impact directly to young Londoners.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re keen to hear from individuals with experience in:

• Volunteer coordination, volunteer management or people leadership

• Recruitment, onboarding or community-building

• Youth work, community services or people-facing roles

• Creating positive team culture and motivating diverse groups

• Organising rotas, logistics or programme delivery

We also welcome candidates with:

• Experience in start-up or fast-paced organisations

• Strong communication and relationship-building skills

• A commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion

• A passion for supporting young people and empowering volunteers

If you believe in radical access, zero bureaucracy and real-world impact, you’ll fit right in.

Why Join URBAN YOUTH?

Joining Urban Youth as a Volunteer Programme Lead means stepping into a role that shapes the heart of our movement.

You will:

• Help tackle social inequalities affecting young people across London

• Build a volunteer community that drives real, visible impact

• Develop leadership, coordination and programme-building experience

• Work alongside a passionate, collaborative Board and volunteer squad

• Support a charity delivering pop-up impact at scale, not static services

We are committed to building a diverse volunteer community that reflects the young people we serve.

Ready to Build the Scaffolding?

If you share our belief that every young person deserves raw opportunity, real access and a future they can shape — and you want to build the volunteer movement that makes it possible — we’d love to hear from you.

VOLUNTEER CHAIR OF TRUSTEES WANTED

Could you help turn a big idea into a charity that changes lives?

SUNSHINE Charity is on a mission to smash loneliness and social isolation through positivity, human connection, community and belonging — bringing SUNSHINE into people's lives.

We're a brand-new grassroots charity with a big ambition.

And we're looking for someone very special.

1. A Chair.
2. A leader.
3. A mentor.
4. A sounding board.
5. A champion.

Someone who knows what good charity governance looks like — but also understands that great charities aren't built by sitting around a boardroom table.

• They're built by people.
• They're built through energy, relationships, ideas, teamwork, determination and action.

And that's where YOU could come in.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR AN EXPERIENCED TRUSTEE TO BECOME OUR CHAIR

SUNSHINE's current Board is made up of enthusiastic people who are passionate about our mission — but this is their first experience of being charity trustees.

That's why we're looking for an experienced trustee and confident Chair who can help guide, support and develop the Board as SUNSHINE grows.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

As Chair, you'll help provide the leadership, direction and confidence that our growing charity needs.

You'll help:

1. LEAD THE BOARD

Bring trustees together, create focus and ensure the Board operates effectively.

2. DEVELOP OUR TRUSTEES

Help our first-time trustees understand their responsibilities, develop their confidence and become an effective governing team.

3. KEEP US ON TRACK

Help us balance our big ambitions with good governance, responsible decision-making, financial sustainability, safeguarding and accountability.

4. CHALLENGE & SUPPORT

Ask the difficult questions when necessary — but always constructively and with SUNSHINE's mission at the heart of decisions.

5. WORK WITH OUR FOUNDER

You'll work closely with our Founder to help turn the vision for SUNSHINE into a sustainable, properly governed and genuinely impactful charity.

The Founder has a huge amount of passion and ideas for SUNSHINE — but is also juggling a lot.

We're looking for someone who can become a trusted leadership partner and sounding board, helping turn ideas into priorities, decisions and action.

6. HELP DRIVE THE TEAM

SUNSHINE is going to need people who make things happen.

You'll help create a culture where trustees, volunteers and leaders feel:

• SUPPORTED.
• CHALLENGED.
• CONNECTED.
• VALUED.
• ACCOUNTABLE.
• INSPIRED.

THIS ISN'T A "TITLES & BOARDROOMS" ROLE

We're not looking for someone who simply wants another trustee position on their CV.

We're looking for;

1. Someone who genuinely wants to build something.
2. Someone who gets excited by the idea of helping a small grassroots charity grow from the ground up.
3. Someone who can bring experience without bringing ego.
4. Someone who can lead without needing to control everything.
5. Someone who can challenge without crushing enthusiasm.
6. Someone who can see the potential in people.
7. And someone who believes that loneliness shouldn't be something people simply have to put up with.

We're particularly interested in someone who has:

• Previous charity trustee experience (Experience as a Chair, Vice Chair or senior trustee would be fantastic).
• A good understanding of charity governance and trustee responsibilities.
• The confidence to chair effective Board meetings.
• Experience supporting or developing fellow trustees.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• The ability to challenge constructively.
• Strategic thinking — while still being willing to roll up your sleeves.
• A genuine interest in tackling loneliness and social isolation.
• The energy and enthusiasm to help a young charity grow.

But above all...

WE WANT SOMEONE WHO GETS SUNSHINE.

Someone who believes that positivity matters.

That connection matters.

That community matters.

That belonging matters.

And that sometimes, something as simple as giving someone somewhere to go, someone to talk to and people to belong with can make an enormous difference.

WHY JOIN SUNSHINE?

Because you won't be joining an established organisation where everything has already been decided.

• You'll be joining at the beginning.
• You'll have the opportunity to help shape:

OUR CULTURE.
OUR GOVERNANCE.
OUR PROGRAMMES.
OUR VOLUNTEER COMMUNITY.
OUR PARTNERSHIPS.
OUR FUTURE.

• You'll help create the foundations that could allow SUNSHINE to reach thousands of people across London in the years ahead.

And you'll have the opportunity to help a group of passionate first-time trustees become a confident, capable and effective Board.

COME SHINE WITH US.
