HELLO SUNSHINE!!!
At SUNSHINE, we believe no one should feel invisible, forgotten or left behind.
Loneliness is a growing crisis across London, affecting thousands of people who go days, weeks, months, and even years without meaningful human connection. Its impact can be devastating, affecting mental health, physical wellbeing, confidence, and the ability to feel part of society.
SUNSHINE was created to change that.
Founded from real lived experience, and inspired by the Founder’s personal understanding of the deep and lasting harm loneliness can cause, SUNSHINE exists to bring warmth, hope, friendship and belonging back into people’s lives.
We are building a charity that is rooted in compassion, community and connection. Our mission is simple but powerful: to reduce loneliness by creating welcoming spaces, meaningful activities, and supportive relationships that help people feel seen, valued and connected.
Our Volunteer Opportunity
We are looking for a talented and passionate volunteer Graphic Designer to help shape the visual identity of SUNSHINE Charity.
This is more than a design role — it is a chance to help build the public face of a charity with a truly important mission.
Your creativity will help us communicate hope, kindness and community in a way that inspires people to get involved, support our work, and believe in a better, more connected future.
You will help us develop a strong, uplifting and memorable brand identity that reflects who we are and what we stand for: warmth, inclusion, dignity, joy and human connection.

Supporting us to present SUNSHINE in a way that captures attention and encourages action.
Ensuring our materials reflect our values of connection, kindness, inclusion, community-led work, integrity and collaboration.
What we’re looking for
We would love to hear from you if you are:
A creative Graphic Designer with an eye for impactful, meaningful design.
Someone who understands the power of branding to tell a story and move people to action.
Confident using design tools such as Canva, Adobe Creative Suite or similar.
Passionate about helping a charity make a real difference.
Able to work collaboratively and bring ideas to life in line with a strong charitable mission.
Inspired by the idea of using your skills to help people feel seen, supported and connected.
Why this matters
Your design skills could help SUNSHINE reach more people, build stronger community relationships, and inspire greater support for our work.
A powerful brand identity will help us grow our presence across London and beyond, raise awareness of loneliness, and show people that there is hope, there is help, and there is always the possibility of connection.
By volunteering with SUNSHINE, you will be helping to create a charity brand that not only looks good, but also carries a message that can change lives.
What you’ll gain
The chance to use your creativity for a cause with genuine human impact.
Experience supporting a new and ambitious charity at an important stage of growth.
The opportunity to build something meaningful that may touch many lives.
Flexible volunteering that can fit around your other commitments.
The satisfaction of knowing your work is helping to bring hope, dignity and connection to people who need it most.
The opportunity to add your designs to your portfolio to showcase what you have achieved with us at SUNSHINE.

Basis Yorkshire is seeking a committed and values-driven individual to join our Board of Trustees as Treasurer. This is an opportunity to support a long-standing, specialist organisation working alongside sex workers and people experiencing sexual exploitation across Yorkshire.
Basis has over three decades of experience delivering trauma-informed, non-judgemental support, advocacy, outreach and education. We work with people across all sectors of the sex industry, as well as young people and adults at risk of or experiencing sexual exploitation. Our approach is rooted in dignity, agency, social justice and harm reduction, with the voices and experiences of the people we support at the centre of everything we do.
As Treasurer Trustee, you will play a key role in supporting the Board’s oversight of the charity’s financial health, sustainability and governance. While professional financial qualifications are not required, we are looking for someone who is confident in scrutinising financial information, asking constructive questions, and contributing to strategic decision-making.
We are particularly interested in individuals who share our commitment to challenging stigma and inequality, and who can bring thoughtful, independent judgment to Board discussions. Previous experience in the voluntary or community sector, safeguarding, or connections to strategic networks in Leeds would be welcomed.
Trustees are expected to attend quarterly Board meetings, contribute to working groups where possible, and engage with role-specific matters between meetings. An enhanced DBS check will be required and arranged by Basis.
We warmly encourage applications from people with diverse lived and professional experiences, particularly those currently underrepresented at the Board level.
Basis works with women and nonbinary people who work in the sex industry and women and young people who are sexually exploited
