LONELINESS AWARENESS LEAD (VOLUNTEER)
Raise Awareness, Tell Human Stories & Help SUNSHINE Change the Way London Understands Loneliness
About SUNSHINE
SUNSHINE is a small but ambitious grassroots charity on a mission to reduce loneliness and help people feel truly seen, valued and connected. Every week, our volunteers bring warmth, joy and human connection to people who feel isolated, overlooked or alone.
We’re now looking for a Loneliness Awareness Lead — someone who can help us shine a light on the realities of loneliness, share the stories of the people we support (with dignity and care), and spread SUNSHINE’s message of hope across London and beyond.
Your work will help people understand that loneliness is not a personal failure — it’s a human experience. Your storytelling will help people feel less ashamed, less invisible, and more connected. Your leadership will help SUNSHINE reach the people who need us most.
What You’ll Be Doing
1. Raising Awareness of Loneliness Across London
-
Lead campaigns that highlight the emotional, social and practical realities of loneliness.
-
Share insights, facts and stories that help the public understand the issue with compassion.
-
Help shift the narrative from stigma to empathy, from silence to connection.
2. Telling the Stories of the People We Support
-
Work with participants (with full consent and care) to share their experiences.
-
Create warm, respectful, human‑centred stories that honour their courage.
-
Show the impact SUNSHINE has on confidence, wellbeing and connection.
3. Creating Content That Spreads SUNSHINE’s Message
-
Develop blogs, interviews, social posts, short films or written stories.
-
Work with our Creative Volunteers to bring stories to life visually.
-
Help build a public voice that feels hopeful, inclusive and emotionally resonant.
4. Building Relationships With Media & Community Platforms
-
Identify opportunities to share SUNSHINE’s work through local press, podcasts, newsletters and community networks.
-
Represent SUNSHINE with warmth, clarity and movement‑energy.
-
Help us become a recognised voice in the loneliness and wellbeing space.
5. Supporting SUNSHINE’s Growth & Impact
-
Ensure our messaging reflects the lived experiences of the people we serve.
-
Help shape campaigns that inspire volunteers, partners and supporters.
-
Strengthen SUNSHINE’s presence across London as we grow.
This Role Is for You If…
-
You’re a natural storyteller who cares deeply about people.
-
You want to help change the way society understands loneliness.
-
You’re empathetic, thoughtful and able to hold stories with care.
-
You enjoy writing, interviewing, content creation or awareness‑raising.
-
You’re based in or connected to London.
-
You want to help build a new charity from the ground up.
-
You want to grow your skills in communications, advocacy or community engagement.
Practical Details
-
Location: Hybrid/Flexible — remote with occasional London meetups.
-
Time: Approx. 3-5 Hours per week (This is a fully flexible volunteer role with no set hours)
Why This Role Matters
Loneliness is often hidden. People carry it quietly — in their homes, on the bus, at work, in crowded streets. Your work will help bring these stories into the light with dignity and compassion.
Every story you share will help someone feel less alone. Every campaign you lead will help someone understand they are not the only one. Every message you craft will help SUNSHINE reach people who need connection, hope and community.
This is not just awareness work. It’s storytelling that heals. It’s advocacy that empowers. It’s connection — shared with the whole city.
How to Apply
Send a CV and a short note about why this role speaks to you. We review applications on a rolling basis — join us and help spread SUNSHINE across London.

The Mission

Freedom to create
-
Space to lead

There are no set hours when volunteering for us and you can turn down anything that you are offered. Obviously, we will treat you with dignity and respect.
We do not anticipate that you will incur expenses in this role. We expect our volunteers to already have an internet connection and be willing to use that as part of their volunteer role with Green Allotments CIO.
(At present we are unable to accept applications from under 18s, although we hope to be able to do so in the future as our charity grows)
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
