Do you remember lockdown?

1. The quiet.

• You’re creative, passionate and not afraid to speak up for those who feel invisible.
• You understand how powerful awareness can be in changing lives.
• Maybe you’ve worked in campaigns, communications, advocacy, marketing or community engagement.

A strong online presence builds trust with survivors, professionals, schools, corporates and policymakers — opening doors for training, partnerships and funding that directly support prevention and empowerment initiatives.

Consistent, high-quality posting has preventative impact. Educational content about red flags, online grooming, coercive control and intersectional vulnerabilities can help young people recognise harmful behaviour earlier. Parents, carers and teachers may identify warning signs sooner. Increased awareness can interrupt exploitation before it escalates.

Collaboration with the Communications Department ensures language is trauma-informed and safeguarding-aware. Sensitive issues are handled ethically, reducing the risk of re-traumatisation and creating a digital environment where survivors feel seen, respected and safe.

Cross-department collaboration ensures campaigns, policy work, education programmes and fundraising initiatives are amplified effectively.

In summary, the outcomes of this role contribute directly to early identification, public education, cultural awareness and increased access to prevention services.

Head of Marketing & Communications (MINDSET Charity) - VOLUNTEER ROLE

Remote | Approx. 3 hours per week | MINDSET Charity (UK)

Lead the voice, story, and national presence of a movement transforming men’s lives

MINDSET is building a new kind of men’s mental wellbeing and personal growth movement in the UK — one built on action, challenge, brotherhood, and real‑world transformation. We’re here to change the narrative for men, and we need a powerful, strategic communicator to help take this mission nationwide.

This is your chance to shape the public face of a charity that is ready to grow, ready to be seen, and ready to make a real difference.

Why This Role Matters

MINDSET’s programmes change men’s lives — but the country won’t feel that impact unless our story is told boldly, clearly, and consistently.

As Head of Marketing & Communications, you will be the architect of how MINDSET shows up in the world. Your leadership will help us:

• Reach men who need us

• Inspire volunteers to join us

• Build trust with partners and communities

• Establish MINDSET as a national voice for men’s wellbeing

This is a founding leadership role — you will help define the brand, tone, and public presence of MINDSET from the ground up.

What You’ll Lead

As our Head of Marketing & Communications, you will:

• Shape and lead MINDSET’s national marketing and communications strategy

• Build a strong, consistent brand identity across all platforms

• Manage and grow our social media presence with purpose and clarity

• Create compelling content that inspires men, volunteers, and supporters

• Oversee messaging for campaigns, programmes, events, and recruitment

• Support fundraising and partnership communications

• Guide a small team of volunteers (designers, social media leads, content creators) as the charity grows

• Ensure everything we publish reflects our mission, values, and tone

This role is remote, flexible, and ideal for someone who wants to make a meaningful impact in just a few hours each week.

Who This Role Is Perfect For

You’ll thrive in this role if you are:

• A natural storyteller who understands how to move people

• Strategic, creative, and confident shaping a brand from scratch

• Experienced in marketing, communications, social media, or content creation

• Passionate about men’s wellbeing, personal growth, and community

• Excited by the idea of helping build a national movement

• Someone who loves turning ideas into campaigns that resonate

You do not need charity experience. You simply need experience and clarity, creativity, and a desire to help men live fuller, healthier lives.

What You’ll Be Part Of

MINDSET is redefining what men’s wellbeing can look like in the UK. We’re building a movement that helps men grow through:

• Challenge

• Accountability

• Brotherhood

• Purpose

• Real‑world action

Your work will ensure that this message reaches the men who need it most — and that MINDSET becomes a recognised, trusted, national presence.

If you want to help put MINDSET on the map across the UK…

We’d love to hear from you. Join us and help shape the voice of a movement built to change men’s lives.

HEAD OF MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS (VOLUNTEER ROLE)

SUNSHINE Charity – Because No One Should Live in Lockdown Forever

Do you remember lockdown?

1. The silence.
2. The uncertainty.
3. The feeling of being cut off from the world.
4. The ache of missing people, connection, life.

Now imagine living like that every single day — not because of a pandemic, but because loneliness has quietly become someone’s normal.

At SUNSHINE, we refuse to let that be anyone’s story. Not in London. Not in our communities. Not while we’re here.

We’re here to bring back warmth, connection and joy — and we need someone extraordinary to help us tell that story to the world.

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, passionate, and building something hopeful from the ground up. We’re awaiting our charity number — but our mission is already alive, growing and ready to shine.

Now we need someone who can help the world see us.

Your Role: Head of Marketing & Communications

This is your chance to shape the voice, identity and public presence of a charity from day one.

We need a creative, strategic, heart‑led communicator who can:

• Raise awareness of SUNSHINE across London and beyond

• Build our brand identity and ensure our message is warm, human and unforgettable

• Attract service users who need us

• Inspire volunteers who want to join us

• Engage supporters, funders and donors who believe in our mission

• Lead our digital presence, including social media, website content and storytelling

• Create campaigns that cut through the noise and make people feel something

• Champion our values in every message, every post, every piece of communication

You’ll be the one who helps SUNSHINE be seen, heard and felt.

Your work will help someone discover a lifeline. Your words will help someone feel less alone. Your storytelling will help us grow into the charity we’re meant to be.

Who You Are

• You’re someone who understands the power of a story.
• You know how to make people stop scrolling, stop thinking, and start feeling.
• You’re creative, strategic, and excited by the idea of building a brand from scratch.
• Maybe you’ve worked in marketing, communications, PR, digital media, branding or content creation.
• Maybe you’ve led campaigns or built communities online.
• Maybe you’ve helped organisations grow their visibility and voice.

What matters most is your passion, your imagination, and your belief that connection can change lives.

Why Join Us Now?

Because this is the moment everything begins.

You won’t just be promoting a charity — you’ll be helping to build it. Your ideas will shape our identity. Your creativity will shape our reach. Your voice will shape our future.

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