HEAD OF SUNSHINE SERVICES (VOLUNTEER ROLE)

SUNSHINE Charity – Because No One Should Live in Lockdown Forever

Do you remember lockdown?

1. The quiet.
2. The worry.
3. The long days without connection.
4. The feeling of being cut off from the world.

Now imagine living like that every day, not because of a global crisis — but because loneliness has quietly become someone’s whole life.

At SUNSHINE, we refuse to let that happen. Not in London. Not in our communities. Not while we’re here.

We’re here to bring back joy, connection and human warmth — and we need someone extraordinary to help us build the services that will make that happen.

Who We Are

SUNSHINE is a brand‑new, grassroots, 100% volunteer‑powered charity on a mission to brighten the lives of people experiencing loneliness and social isolation. We’re small but fierce, hopeful, and building something meaningful from the ground up. We’re awaiting our charity number — but our purpose is already alive and growing.

Our services will be the lifeline people hold onto. And you will be the one who shapes them.

Your Role: Head of SUNSHINE Services

This is a rare opportunity to build a charity’s services from scratch — to design programmes that genuinely change lives and bring people back into community.

You will lead the creation, delivery and development of our pilot programmes, including:

• Digital Inclusion & Skills (6‑week programme) — helping people reconnect with the world through confidence, technology and support

• Wellbeing Wednesdays (12‑week programme) — a warm, uplifting space for emotional wellbeing, connection and growth

• Monthly Coffee Mornings — simple, joyful gatherings that remind people they matter

And that’s just the beginning.

You’ll work in co‑production with the people we serve — listening, learning, and shaping new services based on real needs, real voices, and real lives.

You will:

• Design, launch and oversee all SUNSHINE services and programmes

• Manage and support Programme Coordinators delivering each pilot

• Ensure quality, safety and impact across everything we offer

• Build a culture of compassion, empowerment and joy within our service teams

• Use feedback and lived experience to shape future services

• Be a key leader in how SUNSHINE grows and supports communities

Your work will directly help people feel seen, valued and connected again.

Who You Are

• You’re someone who cares deeply about people and community.
• You understand how powerful a simple act of connection can be.
• You’re organised, compassionate, creative — and excited by the idea of building something new.
• Maybe you’ve worked in service delivery, community programmes, wellbeing, social care, education, or project management.
• Maybe you’ve supported vulnerable people before.
• Maybe you’ve led teams or shaped services.

What matters most is your heart, your drive, and your belief that no one should face life alone.

Why Join Us Now?

Because this is the moment everything begins.

You won’t just be joining a charity — you’ll be helping to build it. Your ideas will matter. Your leadership will shape lives. Your work will bring sunshine into places that have been dark for far too long.

If you want to be part of something hopeful, human and life‑changing, this is your moment.

How to Apply

Send us your CV and a short statement about why this role speaks to you.

We welcome people from all backgrounds, experiences and walks of life.

Let’s build services that bring people back to life — together.
