COULD YOU BE SUNSHINE’S NEW CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES?
Help Us Build Something That Could Change Lives
At SUNSHINE, we believe nobody should have to face loneliness alone.
We’re creating a brand new start-up loneliness charity that will provide welcoming spaces where people can make friends, feel connected and discover that they belong.
But we can’t build it without strong, compassionate leadership.
We’re looking for a new Chair of the Board of Trustees — someone kind, steady, values‑driven and committed to helping guide SUNSHINE from an early idea into a trusted, impactful charity serving communities across London.
This is a rare opportunity to shape the governance, vision and future of a charity at its very beginning.
About the Volunteer Role: Chair of the Board of Trustees
As our new Chair, you will play a central role in establishing SUNSHINE’s governance, supporting our Founder & CEO, and ensuring that our mission — reducing loneliness and building human connection — is delivered with integrity, compassion and clarity.
As our board has limited Trustee experience, we need a Chair with previous Trustee experience.
Your responsibilities may include:
Providing leadership to the Board and ensuring effective governance and board performance.
Supporting the Founder & CEO, as well as the board.
Helping establish SUNSHINE’s early strategy, policies and direction.
Ensuring the charity stays true to its mission and values.
Helping recruit and develop a small, committed Board of Trustees.
Acting as an ambassador for SUNSHINE as we begin to grow.
Bringing calm, clarity and compassion to decision‑making.
Even a few hours each month could help shape a charity that changes lives.
Why Join SUNSHINE?
Lead the governance of a brand-new charity from day one.
Help build an organisation dedicated to human connection and belonging.
Work closely with a passionate Founder & CEO.
Shape strategy, culture and long-term impact.
Join a small, values-led team who believe in kindness and community.
Make a meaningful difference to people experiencing loneliness.
Most importantly…
You’ll help ensure fewer people have to face loneliness alone.
A Personal Message From Our Founder
“I started SUNSHINE because I watched someone I love experience a loneliness that no one should ever have to endure.
That experience taught me something I’ll never forget: everyone deserves friendship, belonging and to feel seen.
SUNSHINE is my promise that we’ll create places where people feel welcomed, valued and connected — but I know I can’t build that future on my own.
I’m not looking for experts.
I’m looking for kind people who believe that together we can make a real difference.
If that sounds like you, I’d love to hear from you.”
— Scott
Founder, SUNSHINE
Interested?
Apply through CharityJob.
Together, we can create a future where nobody has to face loneliness alone.

ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY
The Community Food Hub at Children With Voices runs because of people like you.
This is our entry-level food co-op role — no experience needed, no qualifications required, just a willingness to roll up your sleeves and be part of something that genuinely feeds and supports Hackney families.
You'll be working alongside a warm, welcoming team in our co-op space, helping to make sure that every family who comes through our doors leaves with what they need and feels respected and valued.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
• Sort and organise food donations as they come in
• Pack food parcels for families with care and accuracy
• Help set up and pack down the co-op space before and after sessions
• Welcome community members as they arrive and make them feel at home
• Assist with basic stock checks and flagging when items are running low
• Keep the co-op floor clean, tidy, and well-organised throughout the session
• Follow all food hygiene and health and safety guidelines at all times
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
ESSENTIAL
• Friendly, warm, and non-judgemental towards all families
• Willing to get stuck in with practical, hands-on tasks
• Reliable — families and the team count on volunteers showing up
• Basic awareness of food hygiene (or willingness to complete a short online course)
• Respectful and kind in all interactions with families and team members
HELPFUL BUT NOT ESSENTIAL
• Any previous experience volunteering at a food bank, community kitchen, or similar setting
• A food hygiene certificate (Level 1 or 2) — though not required
• Additional languages spoken (Hackney is a wonderfully diverse community!)
• Experience working or volunteering with families or in a community setting
WHAT YOU'LL GAIN
• The reward of making a direct, immediate difference to families in Hackney every week
• Support to obtain a food hygiene certificate
• A professional reference from our team
• A genuine insight into grassroots community food provision
• A welcoming team and a space where your contribution truly matters

MANAGING DIRECTOR WANTED
BUILD THE MOVEMENT. LEAD THE SQUAD. CHANGE THE GAME.
URBAN YOUTH isn’t just a charity — it’s a startup youth movement built from raw energy, street culture, and the belief that young people deserve experiences that hit different. We’re small, scrappy, and unapologetically ambitious.
And now we’re searching for a Managing Director who’s ready to help us turn this spark into a wildfire.
This Is Not Your Typical MD Role
Just vision, hustle, and the drive to build something powerful from almost nothing.
Urban Youth is a pop‑up youth work charity (like a streetwear drop), creative jams, community takeovers, and high‑impact experiences that feel more like culture than “services.” We’re building a youth movement that’s loud, urban, and real.
We need someone who can help us take this raw potential and scale it into something unforgettable.
What You’ll Lead
You’ll be the strategic force behind Urban Youth — shaping our direction, building our foundations, and helping us grow from a startup idea into a city‑wide movement.
You’ll help us:
Build partnerships from scratch
Create opportunities with minimal resources
Turn creative chaos into sustainable impact
Grow our squad, our reach, and our influence
Make sure our pop‑ups hit hard and keep evolving
This is leadership in its purest form — no red tape, no grey areas, just vision, grit, and action.
Who You Are
If you’ve ever said, “Give me a mission and I’ll make it real,” you’re exactly who we want.
Why Urban Youth?
As Managing Director, you won’t just run an organisation. You’ll help create one.
You’ll shape the identity, the energy, and the future of Urban Youth from the ground up.
Ready to build something huge?
Urban Youth needs you.
Step up. Join the squad. Let’s build something massive.
To empower London’s youth through agile, short-term opportunities that build skills, social capital, and confidence via a radical, volunteer led model
