• Commitment: 2–3 hours per week (Highly flexible, asynchronous working)
• Salary: Voluntary (with creative freedom, a high-impact portfolio, and a direct hand in lifting people out of isolation)

The Spark: Why We Need You

London is one of the most electric, fast-paced cities on Earth. Yet underneath the noise, it is facing a quiet crisis. In boroughs like Tower Hamlets, nearly 40% of our neighbors report feeling chronically lonely and isolated. For many, urban isolation is a heavy, daily reality.

We are SUNSHINE, and we are here to smash that isolation with pure, unadulterated, radical positivity!

We don't do boring, clinical forms or awkward networking. Instead, we take over public parks, un-used spaces and high streets with high-vibrancy pop-ups—bringing bright neon t-shirts, upbeat music, handmade positive quote cards, and literal bubble machines directly to the pavement to turn strangers into neighbours.

Our operations are locked, our volunteer pipeline is ready, and our pilots are set. Now, we need our storyteller. We need a creative, visually minded, and highly driven Marketing & Communications Manager to amplify our voice, build our digital footprint, and paint London yellow!

Your Mission: What You’ll Do

As our founding Marketing Lead, you will sit on our core Founding Committee, guiding a small task force of 3–4 creative volunteers (graphic designers and video editors) to manage SUNSHINE’s public presence.

You will work to:

• Own the Story: Take our pre-written 30-day social media content calendar and bring it to life across Instagram, X (Twitter), and TikTok using free automation schedulers (like Buffer or Later).
• Guard the Vibe: Coordinate with our volunteer graphic designers to ensure all templates, quote cards, and digital assets match our signature high-vibrancy brand identity.
• Drive Engagement: Write punchy, encouraging copy that inspires lonely residents to take the brave step of showing up to our socials, and motivates local creatives to join our behind-the-scenes squad.
• Animate the Grid: Turn raw photos and smartphone footage captured by our frontline team at the "Sunshine Benches" into joyful Reels, TikToks, and posts that showcase our real-world impact.

Who You Are (The Perfect Fit)

You do not need a senior corporate director marketing degree.

We are looking for a human who is:

• A Creative Storyteller: You understand social media aesthetics. You know how to make digital content feel urgent, warm, inspiring, and visually engaging.
• An Organised Coordinator: You are comfortable leading a small micro-team of 3–4 creative volunteers, delegating tasks smoothly, and keeping asset production on schedule.
• A Smartphone & Canva Native: You know your way around Instagram Reels, TikTok formatting, and basic Canva layouts, and you love using digital tools to build communities.
• Empathetic & Purpose-Driven: You deeply believe in the power of words and visuals to dismantle the "loneliness stigma" and want to use your creative skills for good.

Why Lead With Us?

• Complete Creative Freedom: No corporate red tape. You have the ultimate license to design bold, bright, and radically positive campaigns that disrupt the standard charity landscape.
• A High-Impact Portfolio: Building the entire launch marketing framework for a fast-scaling London charity is an incredibly high-utility asset to showcase on your CV or professional portfolio.
• A Supportive Founding Crew: You will be backed by a dedicated Project Manager and a Founding Committee handling finance, HR, and park logistics, so you can focus entirely on creativity.
• Pure Joy: You will directly see the impact of your storytelling as your posts guide isolated individuals out of their rooms and into a supportive community of floating bubbles and friendly smiles.
