Strategic fundraising manager volunteer roles

Chair of the Board of Trustees - VOLUNTEER

4–8 hours per month | Shoreditch, London | Start‑Up Youth Social Mobility Charity

About REMIX

REMIX is a start‑up, youth‑led social mobility charity transforming young lives across London. Based in Shoreditch, we empower young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to unlock their potential, build confidence, and develop essential life skills through nurturing mentorship, inspiring role models, and transformative opportunities.

We’re in the exciting early stages of building something bold, vibrant, and community‑powered — and we’re looking for a Chair who wants to help shape a movement from the ground up.

The Role

We are seeking a dynamic, compassionate, and forward‑thinking Chair of the Board of Trustees to guide REMIX through its formative years. As a start‑up charity, we are building our governance, culture, systems, and long‑term strategy — and your leadership will be central to this journey.

Time commitment: 4–8 hours per month, including:

• Bi‑monthly Board meetings

• Working groups and sub‑committees

• Chair duties, preparation, and leadership responsibilities

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in early‑stage environments, enjoys shaping structure and direction, and believes deeply in youth empowerment and social mobility.

Key Responsibilities

As Chair, you will:

• Provide strategic leadership to the Board during a crucial start‑up phase.

• Ensure strong governance, clarity of purpose, and alignment with REMIX’s mission and values.

• Support and empower Trustees, fostering a collaborative, inclusive, and high‑performing Board culture.

• Work closely with the Founder, the CEO and Team to develop systems, policies, and long‑term sustainability.

• Lead Board meetings with clarity, fairness, and purpose.

• Champion REMIX externally, helping build partnerships, credibility, and community trust.

• Uphold the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and accountability.

What We’re Looking For

You don’t need previous Chair experience — we welcome people stepping into leadership for the first time. What matters most is your commitment to young people and your ability to lead with heart.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Passionate about social mobility, youth empowerment, and fairness.

• A strong communicator and facilitator.

• Confident in governance, decision‑making, and strategic thinking.

• Comfortable in start‑up environments where systems are still being built.

• Compassionate, emotionally intelligent, and community‑minded.

• Organised, reliable, and committed to our mission.

Experience in charity governance, safeguarding, youth work, community leadership, or organisational development is beneficial but not essential.

Why Join REMIX?

• Play a central role in shaping a start‑up charity with huge potential.

• Help build the foundations of a movement that champions equity, compassion, and opportunity.

• Influence governance, culture, and long‑term strategy from day one.

• Work with passionate Trustees and volunteers who care deeply about young people.

• Gain leadership experience in governance, strategy, and organisational development.

• Make a meaningful, lasting impact on the lives of young Londoners.

This is your chance to lead a movement from the very beginning.

CLOSING DATE: Monday 30th March 2026, before 6pm

To Empower. To Inspire. To Transform.

VOLUNTEER HEAD OF MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS

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 MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS

We’re looking for a Volunteer Head of Marketing & Communications to help shape the voice, story, and visibility of SUNSHINE as we grow across London.

This is a creative, strategic, and hands‑on leadership role for someone who loves storytelling, branding, digital engagement, and building movements that people feel proud to be part of.

You’ll help bring SUNSHINE to life — online, in communities, and in the hearts of the people we serve.

As our Volunteer Head of Marketing & Communications, you will:

1. Lead Brand & Storytelling

• Shape SUNSHINE’s tone of voice, visual identity, and storytelling approach.

• Bring our mission to life through warm, human, community‑centred messaging.

• Ensure our communications reflect the diversity and spirit of London.

2. Grow Our Digital Presence

• Lead our social media strategy across key platforms.

• Create engaging, accessible content that sparks connection and builds awareness.

• Support volunteers to share stories, photos, and moments from their activities.

3. Support Recruitment & Engagement

• Develop simple, effective campaigns to attract volunteers, partners, and supporters.

• Help ensure our messaging is inclusive, welcoming, and easy to understand.

• Build a sense of pride, belonging, and movement‑energy across our community.

4. Build Partnerships & Visibility

• Develop relationships with local media, community groups, and partners.

• Identify opportunities for positive coverage, collaborations, and storytelling.

• Represent SUNSHINE with warmth, confidence, and authenticity.

5. Work with Leadership

• Collaborate with the Founder/CEO and volunteer leads to align communications with strategy.

• Ensure our marketing supports the growth of services, fundraising, and community outreach.

• Champion our values and embed them in every message, post, and campaign.

This role is perfect for someone who:

• Loves creativity, storytelling, and community‑powered movements.

• Enjoys shaping brand identity and building digital engagement.

• Has experience in marketing, communications, social media, or content creation — or is excited to grow into it.

• Thrives in start‑up environments where you can build things from scratch.

• Values inclusion, kindness, and making information accessible to everyone.

• Wants to help reduce loneliness and strengthen neighbourhoods.

• Believes in the power of stories to create change.

Time commitment is flexible and can fit around your life. We welcome people from all backgrounds and experiences — especially those with 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 Marketing & Communications, you’ll help shape the voice and visibility of a movement that brings people together, builds confidence, and creates moments of joy and belonging.

Your creativity will help us reach more people, inspire more volunteers, and bring SUNSHINE to neighbourhoods that need it most.

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

We’re looking for a Volunteer Company/Charity Secretary to help build the governance foundations that will keep SUNSHINE safe, transparent, and thriving as we grow.

This role can be shaped around you. You can join us as a Trustee and Company Secretary, taking a place on the Board, or you can contribute as a non‑trustee Company Secretary, supporting the Board while not being a voting member.

This role is perfect for someone who:

• Believes in community, connection, and volunteer‑powered change.

• Thrives in start‑up environments where you can help build things from the ground up.
