Lead joyful projects and events that bring people together and make every SUNSHINE moment unforgettable
SUNSHINE is a brand‑new charity with a bold mission: to replace loneliness with belonging and spark a grassroots joy movement across London and beyond. To bring this mission to life, we’re looking for warm, organised, creative Project Coordinators who can lead specific initiatives, projects, and events that uplift communities and spread SUNSHINE wherever we go.
If you love bringing people together, creating memorable experiences, and making sure everyone leaves smiling, this role is for you.
Why this role matters
SUNSHINE is built on moments — moments of joy, connection, welcome, and belonging. Your leadership will ensure that:
-
Every project feels warm, inclusive, and full of energy.
-
Every event runs smoothly and leaves people uplifted.
-
Every participant feels valued, seen, and excited to return.
-
SUNSHINE becomes known for its joyful, community‑powered experiences.
You will help shape the heart of the movement.
What you’ll do
You’ll take the lead on specific SUNSHINE activities by:
-
Coordinating projects, events, or community initiatives from start to finish.
-
Creating welcoming, joyful environments where people feel at home.
-
Supporting volunteers and ensuring everyone knows their role.
-
Bringing creative ideas to life in practical, organised ways.
-
Ensuring every participant leaves feeling uplifted, positive, and connected.
-
Helping us build a calendar of activities that spark community spirit.
-
Feeding back insights, ideas, and improvements to the SUNSHINE team.
This is a hands‑on, people‑powered role where your energy shapes the experience.
What we’re looking for
You don’t need formal experience — just heart, organisation, and a love of people. You’ll thrive here if you are:
-
Friendly, warm, and great at making people feel welcome.
-
Organised and able to keep things running smoothly.
-
Creative and full of ideas.
-
Excited by start‑up energy.
-
Confident leading small groups or activities.
-
Motivated by purpose, not ego.
If you love creating joyful moments and building community, you’ll fit right in.
What you’ll gain
-
A leadership role in shaping SUNSHINE’s community activities.
-
The chance to design and run projects that genuinely change lives.
-
A warm, supportive, values‑driven environment.
-
Real influence over how SUNSHINE grows.
-
The joy of seeing people leave happier than when they arrived.
This is a volunteer role — but it’s also a chance to create magic in people’s lives.
Ready to help spread the SUNSHINE?
If you want to lead joyful, uplifting projects that bring people together, we’d love to hear from you.
Let’s build something beautiful together.

The Children's Book Project is a national charity on a mission to tackle book poverty. We passionately believe that every child should have the opportunity to own a book and have, in the last year, celebrated gifting our 1 millionth book! We are looking for some wonderful volunteers to help us in managing book sorting and packing with a range of amazing corporate volunteers at our three HQs in Birmingham, Leeds and London.
We gift beautiful pre-loved and new books to schools and we gift within prison settings in order to reach children who may not otherwise have access to book ownership.
We are looking for volunteers in Birmingham, Leeds and London able to help us in the running of our book sorting days at each of our three HQs. Ideally you will be able to commit to 2-3 days per half term. (We work term-times only). Our hours are 10am - 2:30pm.
We work with a range of amazing corporate volunteer teams who come to organise, sort and then pack our books in preparation for delivery. These corporate days are always full of energy and fun and we are looking for energetic and passionate people to support these events as Volunteer Coordinators - helping to make sure that there is a warm welcome, a clear plan for the day and that our one-off visitors can contribute productively.
What is required:
- On average, a commitment to 2 days per half term
- Flexibility to travel to your local HQ for sorting and corporate volunteering days
- A can-do attitude and enjoyment of working as part of a team.
In return, you’ll get to be part of an extraordinary family of volunteers as we make a real and lasting difference to young lives – there is almost an immeasurable benefit to empowering a child to read for pleasure and we believe that no child should be denied access to a book through poverty. We would love your support!
