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 normal.
Since lockdown ended, loneliness has slipped out of the headlines. But it hasn’t slipped out of people’s lives.
At SUNSHINE, we refuse to let loneliness be forgotten. We’re here to bring it back into the spotlight — and we need someone bold, creative and passionate to help us do it.
