SUNSHINE
Loneliness Charity in London
SUNSHINE is London based dedicated to bringing people together, fostering connections, enhancing wellbeing and transforming lives.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
There are over 4000 parks in Greater London. We aim to map them all with useful information for local residents and visitors to London. We also support people that help look after their local parks.
Using your good networking skills and organisational abilities, this role handles the marketing and promotion of the GoParks projects: the website, its map, providing supportive information to Friends’ groups who champion their local parks in collaboration with the London Friends of Greenspaces Network (LFGN).
You'll be joining a small team who focus on this initiative under the CPRE London umbrella. With your support we can do even more! Comms and PR volunteers have an essential role in spreading the word about our work and engaging with new groups and supporters in our area.
By volunteering with us you’ll be helping to find positive solutions for the issues facing the countryside and the environment. By applying your skills and experience you can make a real difference and be a central part of a friendly and passionate charity.
We’re ideally looking for volunteers with experience in networking, managing promotional social media channels for professional or personal use, who can preferably offer us an ongoing commitment. To maximise effectiveness in this role and to make it a beneficial experience for you, a 6 month or ongoing commitment is preferred.
