Supporter care manager volunteer roles

Join SUNSHINE as Our Graphic Designer (REMOTE Volunteer Role)

Help us spark joy, connection, and community across London — Be a SUNSHINE Volunteer and bring your Heart of Gold

Loneliness is one of the quietest challenges of our time, but at SUNSHINE, we believe in the power of people coming together to change that story — to break through the clouds with beautiful rays of warmth, belonging, and hope.

SUNSHINE is a brand new loneliness and wellbeing charity with a simple but powerful mission: to bring people together, spread joy, nurture community spirit, and create spaces where everyone feels seen, valued, and connected.

With our charity application submitted, our dedicated Board of Trustees in place, and a series of exciting pilot programmes ready to launch, we are stepping into a defining moment — and we’re looking for someone extraordinary to step in with us.

Could you be our Graphic Designer?

This is a rare and meaningful opportunity to help shape a charity from the ground up by creating the visual identity that will introduce SUNSHINE to the world.

We’re searching for a volunteer who brings:

• A creative eye and a passion for impactful design.

• Experience with digital and print design tools.

• A flair for visual storytelling and brand expression.

• An ability to turn ideas into beautiful, accessible materials.

• A collaborative spirit and a desire to support a community‑powered movement.

As our Graphic Designer, you will help us create visually appealing, emotionally resonant materials that raise awareness of loneliness, promote our programmes, and bring SUNSHINE’s message to life across London and beyond.

What you’ll help us build

• Social media assets that spread joy and spark engagement.

• Banners and roller banners for events, outreach, and community spaces.

• Business stationery that reflects our warmth and professionalism.

• Motion graphics and short animations that tell our story.

• Infographics that make our mission clear and compelling.

• Booklets, guides, and printed materials for volunteers and participants.

• A cohesive visual identity that helps SUNSHINE shine brightly.

This is more than a role — it’s a chance to help write the opening chapter of a charity designed to brighten lives, strengthen communities, and inspire hope through creativity.

Why SUNSHINE?

Because we believe in:

• Joy as a form of care

• Community as a source of strength

• Connection as a human right

• Creativity as a bridge to understanding

• People as the heart of everything we do

If you’re someone who leads with purpose, loves creating meaningful visuals, and wants to make a real difference, we would love to meet you.

Ready to help us bring more SUNSHINE into the world?

Let’s build something beautiful together — one smile, one moment, one community at a time.

SUNSHINE

The Loneliness and Wellbeing Charity

Join CAP's Board and help transform the UK's relationship with alcohol.

Applications close: Monday 2nd March 2026

Location: Hybrid/London Bridge

Time commitment: Equivalent of 1 day per month

After 18 years of proven local impact, Community Alcohol Partnerships (CAP) stands at an extraordinary inflexion point. What began as a pioneering pilot in 2007 has grown into the UK’s most effective approach to tackling underage drinking, with over 300 partnerships already established across England, Scotland and Wales. But our greatest achievements may still lie ahead.

Who we are

The numbers tell a compelling story. Across our network, we’ve achieved a 63% reduction in weekly drinking among under-18s, a 44% reduction in anti-social behaviour and 98% pass rates in Challenge 25 compliance tests following our training. We’ve surveyed over 42,000 young people, gathering evidence that has shaped policy and practice nationwide. Yet perhaps our most significant discovery came through groundbreaking research into the issue that remained stubbornly resistant to change: parental supply of alcohol to children.

While we celebrated success after success in reducing underage drinking through retailer training and youth engagement, one statistic troubled us. More than 6 in 10 children aged 11-15 who drink regularly still obtained their alcohol from their parents. Despite all our community interventions, this remained the single biggest driver of underage alcohol consumption.

That challenge led us to commission to conduct the most comprehensive review ever undertaken of why parents supply alcohol to their children and what interventions might change this behaviour. Parents aren’t acting from malice or ignorance alone – they’re driven by complex beliefs about protection, social norms, and misplaced confidence in their ability to teach “responsible drinking” to their children by allowing them to sample alcohol while their brains are still developing.

Armed with these insights, CAP secured unprecedented funding increases from our industry partners, who recognised that addressing parental supply could transform the landscape of underage drinking. Our annual income has doubled, our team has expanded significantly, and we’re now positioned to pilot evidence-based interventions that could change parental behaviour at scale.

This is where our story becomes your opportunity. CAP is transitioning from a programme with significant local impact to one with genuine national reach. Our analysis suggests we need to double our current coverage – establishing perhaps 250-300 additional partnerships in high-harm areas across the UK. We’re developing the first systematic campaign to tackle parental supply, with pilots planned across six locations that could lay the groundwork for national policy change and action.

We’ve also expanded our remit to support 18–25-year-olds, recognising that our work with under-18s creates a perfect foundation for promoting safer drinking cultures in universities and young adult communities. Projects like our Cardiff CAP’s groundbreaking work on alcohol-free student activities show the potential for reshaping social norms around alcohol throughout young adulthood.

About the roles

To realise this vision, we need new Board Directors who can provide both strategic wisdom and operational insight during our most ambitious period of growth. We’re particularly seeking individuals with deep expertise in

• Finance (ideally a qualified accountant)
• Marketing and public influence
• Government relations at local or national level
• Adolescent development or education

Experience in Scotland or Wales would be especially valuable as we prioritise expansion in these high-harm regions.

This isn’t a typical non-executive role. You’ll be helping to steer an organisation that’s pioneering new approaches to one of the UK’s most persistent public health and social challenges.

You’ll work alongside an independent chair in Derek Lewis, industry representatives who are committed to our mission, and fellow independent directors who bring diverse expertise to our governance.

The policy landscape has never been more receptive to evidence-based approaches to alcohol harm reduction. The Westminster and devolved governments increasingly recognise that traditional enforcement-only approaches have limitations, and our track record of delivering measurable impact through partnership working positions us perfectly to influence national policy.

More importantly, we have the research foundation, funding commitments, and operational capacity to achieve transformational change. Our pilots on parental supply interventions, if successful, could influence how the UK approaches underage drinking prevention for generations to come. Our expansion into high-harm areas could bring effective prevention to communities that have struggled with alcohol-related problems for decades.

The commitment is manageable but meaningful: five board meetings annually (two in-person near London Bridge, three virtual), occasional evening events, and informal advisory support to our small but dynamic executive team. Overall we expect the time commitment to be the equivalent of a day a month.

If you’re someone who believes that evidence-based interventions can create lasting social change, who has experience in strategic leadership, and who wants to contribute to work that directly improves young people’s life chances, we’d welcome your interest. You’ll join a board that’s committed to CAP’s constitutional objectives while providing the strategic oversight needed to navigate our most ambitious period of growth.

CAP has spent 18 years building the foundations for this moment. We now have the tools, the team, and the momentum to achieve significant new progress. The question is whether you’ll join us in writing the next chapter of this story.
