The Women & Families Resource Centre (WFRC) is a registered charity based in Wolverhampton. We support, empower, and advocate for women and children facing crisis or challenging circumstances.

Our aim is to actively encourage women to become self-reliant by helping them identify their needs, make informed choices, and create their own solutions.

If you are operationally strong, structured, compassionate, and ready to lead meaningful change, we would love to hear from you.

VOLUNTEER HEAD OF PEOPLE, CULTURE & TALENT

Join SUNSHINE — Bringing Connection, Joy, Community Spirit and SUNSHINE to Every Neighbourhood

WHO WE ARE

SUNSHINE is a start‑up loneliness charity at the very beginning of its journey — a modern, volunteer‑powered movement bringing people together through simple, meaningful activities that spark connection, build confidence, and spread joy.

Our work reflects the diversity of London — its cultures, communities, and neighbourhoods.

We don’t rely on a building or a centre. We go where people already are — parks, libraries, cafés, community halls, online spaces, neighbourhood corners. Wherever people gather, we show up with warmth, welcome, and community spirit.

Loneliness affects people of all ages and backgrounds, often silently.

We’re building a future where every neighbourhood feels connected, supported, and full of opportunities for people to grow, contribute, and belong. If you believe in people, community, and the power of small moments to create big impact, you’ll feel right at home here.

WHAT WE DO

SUNSHINE will be delivering free and low‑cost community‑led activities that help people connect, learn, and thrive, including:

• Social groups and pop‑up events

• Health and wellbeing sessions

• Skills workshops (digital, creative, financial, employment readiness)

• Family‑friendly activities

• Neighbourhood outreach in underserved areas

• Volunteer‑led community projects

Everything we do is shaped by local voices and powered by volunteers — bringing connection, joy, and community spirit to the places people already love.

OUR APPROACH

• Local — We go where people already are.

• Inclusive — Everyone is welcome.

• Flexible — We adapt to community needs.

• Volunteer‑Powered — People make this possible.

THE ROLE — VOLUNTEER HEAD OF PEOPLE, CULTURE & TALENT

We’re looking for a Volunteer Head of People, Culture & Talent to help build the heart of SUNSHINE — the people, the culture, and the volunteer experience that will shape our movement for years to come.

This is a hands‑on, human‑centred leadership role for someone who loves supporting people, building inclusive cultures, and creating environments where volunteers feel valued, confident, and excited to contribute.

You’ll help design the systems, practices, and experiences that make SUNSHINE a joyful, safe, and empowering place to volunteer.

As our Volunteer Head of People, Culture & Talent, you will:

• Lead on volunteer recruitment, onboarding, and support.

• Help build a warm, inclusive, values‑driven culture across the charity.

• Develop simple, accessible processes that make volunteering easy and enjoyable.

• Support team wellbeing and help volunteers feel confident, connected, and appreciated.

• Shape training, development, and recognition approaches for volunteer teams.

• Ensure our people practices reflect safeguarding, inclusion, and best practice.

• Work closely with the Founder/CEO and volunteer leads to build strong, healthy teams.

• Champion our values and help embed them in every interaction, activity, and decision.

This role is central to how SUNSHINE feels — how people join, how they grow, how they belong, and how they shine.

This role is perfect for someone who:

• Loves people and believes in their potential.

• Enjoys creating warm, inclusive cultures where everyone feels welcome.

• Has experience in HR, people development, community leadership, or volunteer management — or is excited to grow into it.

• Wants to use their skills to create real social impact and help reduce loneliness.

• Believes in volunteer‑powered change and community spirit.

• Wants to bring connection, joy, and SUNSHINE to local neighbourhoods.

Time commitment is flexible and can fit around your life. We welcome people from all backgrounds and experiences — especially those who bring lived experience of the communities we serve.

WHY IT MATTERS

Loneliness is one of the biggest challenges facing our communities today. Too many people feel disconnected, unseen, or without a place to belong.

SUNSHINE exists to change that.

By joining us as our Volunteer Head of People, Culture & Talent, you’ll help build the human foundations of a movement that brings people together, strengthens neighbourhoods, and creates opportunities for connection, confidence, joy, and community spirit.

Your leadership will help volunteers feel supported, valued, and inspired — and that will directly shape the impact we can make in every community we reach.

Together, we can bring SUNSHINE to every corner of our communities.
