Ready to tell the story that changes the narrative?
At MINDSET, we’re not just another charity; we’re a brand-new movement for men’s mental wellbeing and personal growth across England and Wales. We’re tired of the clinical, "waiting room" energy. We need a Communications Lead to help us cut through the noise with bold, impactful content that finally speaks a language men actually respond to.
We’re looking for a creative storyteller who can capture the grit, the growth, and the real-world impact of what we do, turning our mission into a profile that gets recognised nationwide.
The Mission:
- The Narrative: Create powerful content that tells the authentic stories of the men we support—focusing on strength, resilience, and action rather than just hardship.
- The Megaphone: Lead our social media and digital presence (think Instagram for visuals, LinkedIn for partnerships, and TikTok for authentic, raw updates) to raise our profile.
- The Identity: Ensure MINDSET is seen as the go-to space for non-clinical growth, building a brand that feels like a community, not a service.
The Vibe:
We’re action-first and zero-fluff. You’ll have total creative freedom to ditch the "sad face" charity clichés and build a high-impact communication strategy from the ground up.
Sound like you?
If you’re a content pro who knows how to move an audience and wants to use those skills to spark a national conversation about men’s growth, let’s talk.
Tell the MINDSET Story
To empower men across England to take charge of their mental wellbeing and personal growth through connection, conversation, and community.

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.

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
