We’re looking for an exceptional leader to become our next Chair of Trustees — and help shape the future of Little Village.
What began as a grassroots response has grown into a London‑wide baby bank network, supporting thousands of families every year. But with more than one in three children in London living in poverty, our work — and our ambition — has never mattered more.
Over the next chapter, we plan to expand our reach across London and scale our advocacy, including our national leadership as a co-founder of the Baby Bank Alliance, to drive lasting systems change for families experiencing poverty.
As our current Chair’s term comes to an end in early 2027, we’re seeking someone with strong governance experience, strategic vision, and a deep commitment to social impact — someone ready to help lead an organisation with growing influence, reach and responsibility.
We’d love to hear from you if you:
Have experience chairing boards, committees or senior leadership meetings.
Have strong understanding of governance (best practice)
Have experience of charity fundraising and income generation
Can commit the time and expertise to play a key role on our Board.
Share our passion for tackling child poverty and supporting families.
This is an opportunity to play a defining role in a movement for change.
We are especially keen to diversify our Board and particularly welcome applications from men and people under-represented in charity governance, including those from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+ people, people with disabilities, and people with lived experience of poverty.
Next steps
If joining the Little Village family sounds appealing, we’d love to hear from you. You can find more details in our recruitment pack, including how to arrange an informal chat before applying

CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER (VOLUNTEER ROLE)
SUNSHINE Charity – Because No One Should Live in Lockdown Forever
Do you remember lockdown?
Now imagine living like that every single day — not because of a global crisis, but because loneliness has quietly become someone’s reality.
At SUNSHINE, we refuse to let that be anyone’s everyday life. Not in London. Not in our communities. Not while we’re here.
We’re here to bring back joy, connection and human warmth — and we need a steady, strategic, compassionate leader to help us build the charity that will make that possible.
Who We Are
SUNSHINE is a brand‑new, grassroots, 100% volunteer‑powered charity on a mission to brighten the lives of people experiencing loneliness and social isolation. We’re small, passionate, and building something hopeful from the ground up. We’re awaiting our charity number — but our purpose is already alive and growing.
Now we need someone who can help us turn that purpose into a strong, sustainable, well‑run organisation.
Your Role: Chief Operating Officer (COO)
This is not just a role — it’s a partnership.
As our COO, you will be the No. 2 in the charity, working closely with our Founder & CEO to shape, manage and grow SUNSHINE during its most exciting and fragile early stages.
You will help transform a hopeful idea into a fully functioning, impactful charity.
You will:
Support the CEO in the day‑to‑day running and strategic development of the charity
Oversee operations, ensuring everything runs smoothly, safely and with heart
Help build our internal structures, systems and processes from scratch
Support the Heads of Departments (Volunteering, Services, Marketing, etc.) to deliver their work effectively
Ensure good governance, compliance and best practice as we grow
Champion a positive, caring, sunshine‑filled organisational culture
Be a key decision‑maker, helping guide the charity through its early growth
Bring stability, clarity and leadership to a fast‑moving, hopeful start‑up environment
Your leadership will help us become a charity that people trust, love and feel safe turning to.
Who You Are
What matters most is your heart, your integrity, your steadiness, and your belief that loneliness should never be a life sentence.
Why Join Us Now?
Because this is the moment everything begins.
You won’t just be joining a charity — you’ll be helping to build it. Your leadership will shape our foundations. Your decisions will shape our future. Your presence will help us bring sunshine into lives that have been dark for far too long.
If you want to be part of something hopeful, human and life‑changing, this is your moment.
How to Apply
Send us your CV and a short statement about why this role speaks to you.
We welcome people from all backgrounds, experiences and walks of life.
Let’s build a charity full of sunshine — together.
