Build and manage the digital systems that power SUNSHINE’s mission
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 grow with confidence, safety, and professionalism, we need a dedicated Digital & IT Lead to help us build, maintain, and secure the digital systems that keep SUNSHINE running.
If you love technology, problem‑solving, and creating smooth digital experiences for teams, this role is at the heart of our start‑up journey.
Why this role matters
SUNSHINE is a movement — but every movement needs strong digital foundations.
Your leadership will ensure that:
-
Our cloud‑based systems are secure, organised, and easy to use.
-
Our CRM and caseload systems support safe, effective service delivery.
-
Our devices are configured, protected, and used responsibly.
-
Our volunteers feel confident using the tools that power our work.
-
SUNSHINE grows with professionalism, safety, and digital excellence.
You will help build the digital backbone of the charity.
What you’ll do
You’ll take the lead on all things digital and IT by:
-
Sourcing, setting up, and managing our cloud‑based systems (CRM, caseload management, email, shared drives).
-
Configuring SUNSHINE devices to ensure they are secure and used only for charity purposes.
-
Maintaining digital security, access controls, and safe‑use practices.
-
Troubleshooting IT issues and supporting volunteers when things go wrong.
-
Creating simple guides and onboarding materials for new team members.
-
Leading or assisting with digital induction sessions so everyone knows how to use our systems effectively.
-
Advising the Founder on digital best practice, security, and future needs.
This is a hands‑on, high‑impact role where your expertise shapes how SUNSHINE operates every day.
What we’re looking for
You don’t need to be a senior IT professional — just someone who is confident with digital systems and enjoys helping others.
You’ll thrive here if you are:
-
Tech‑savvy and curious.
-
Organised and reliable.
-
Calm under pressure and good at problem‑solving.
-
Passionate about digital safety and good practice.
-
Comfortable explaining tech in simple, friendly ways.
-
Motivated by purpose, not ego.
If you love making systems work smoothly and supporting people to use them well, you’ll fit right in.
What you’ll gain
-
A leadership role in shaping SUNSHINE’s digital infrastructure.
-
The chance to build systems from the ground up.
-
A warm, supportive, values‑driven environment.
-
Real influence over how the charity operates.
-
The satisfaction of knowing your work keeps SUNSHINE safe, secure, and effective.
This is a volunteer role — but it’s also a chance to build something lasting and meaningful.
Ready to help power SUNSHINE’s digital world?
If you want to help build a safe, modern, secure digital foundation for a charity with big ambitions, we’d love to hear from you.
Let’s build something safe, joyful, and beautifully connected together.
SUNSHINE is a small grassroots charity that works to reduce loneliness & help people feel more connected: through projects, partnerships & community

Fundraising volunteers wanted to help East London Waterworks Park reach its funding goals
East London Waterworks Park is working to acquire a 14-acre, concreted-over depot on the border of Waltham Forest and Hackney, and to transform it into a ‘brownfield rainforest’ with wild-swimming pools and creative learning spaces for the local community. We are showcasing an environment-first, community-led approach to land ownership that will help nature and people thrive together, revolutionising the way we think about green and blue spaces in cities.
Our Crowdfunder raised over half a million pounds towards buying the land, but we are waiting for the landowner to make decisions about the use of the site. Whilst we wait, we need to raise money for the other work we are carrying out. We have an exciting programme of community projects and work coming up, including carrying out biodiverse transformations on other sites in London.
If you have experience of planning or running fundraising campaigns and would like to get involved with a local charity, we would love to hear from you. Perhaps you are buzzing with ideas of how to raise money or are keen to get stuck in and help to make some events happen. Maybe you are a good writer and seller of ideas and would like to join our mini team of funding bid writers. We would especially love to hear from you if you have experience of writing funding applications.
If you are a professional fundraiser and would like to help but are short on time, we would still love for you to get in touch. Even if you are unable to get deeply involved, we would appreciate one-off or ongoing advice.
We hope that people bring radical imagination, peace with nature and courageous inclusiveness to the role.
We meet once a fortnight online on a Thursday evening
East London Waterworks Park is a charity campaigning to create a new biodiverse park with natural swimming ponds, forest schools and community spaces
