Who Are We?

We’re SUNSHINE Charity, a brand‑new grassroots charity working to reduce loneliness and help people feel more connected: through projects, partnerships, and community support.

We’re a start‑up on a mission to bring connection, joy, confidence and belonging back into people’s lives. We create warm, uplifting, community‑based activities that help people step out of isolation and into a world where they feel seen, heard, valued and supported.

We’re all about:

• Human connection

• Positive role models

• Fun, interactive activities

• Confidence‑building experiences

• Community, belonging, and joy

And we want to understand the real impact of all of this — so we can keep growing, learning and shining brighter.

Your Role: Head of Insight & Impact

This isn’t just any volunteer role — this is your chance to help shape how SUNSHINE learns, grows and understands the difference we make.

As our Head of Insight & Impact, you’ll help us gather stories, feedback and data from our community. You’ll help us understand what’s working, what people need, and how our programmes help people feel less alone. You’ll turn insight into action, helping us improve, evolve and stay rooted in real human experience.

You’ll be the listener, the learner, the meaning‑maker — the “let’s understand this deeply” energy behind our growth.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll help us build a learning‑led, people‑centred charity by:

• Developing simple, friendly ways to gather feedback and insight.

• Listening to participants, volunteers and partners to understand their experiences.

• Helping us measure the impact of our programmes in warm, human ways.

• Turning stories and data into learning we can act on.

• Supporting the CEO and leadership team with insight‑driven decision‑making.

• Helping shape our impact framework as we grow.

• Bringing fresh ideas to the table (we LOVE ideas).

• Making sure our learning is inclusive, ethical and rooted in kindness.

• Helping us tell the story of SUNSHINE’s impact in a meaningful way.

You don’t need to be a data expert — just someone who cares deeply about people and loves understanding what helps them thrive.

Who You Are

You might be perfect for this if you’re:

• Curious, reflective and great at listening.

• Someone who enjoys understanding people’s experiences.

• A warm communicator who values empathy and insight.

• Passionate about community, wellbeing and human connection.

• Excited to help build a charity from scratch.

• Happy to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in.

• Someone who believes in kindness, learning and continuous improvement.

If you’ve ever thought “I’d love to help a charity understand its impact”… this is your chance.

What You’ll Get Out of It

• A meaningful leadership role in a brand‑new charity.

• Real experience in insight, evaluation and impact storytelling.

• A supportive, friendly, uplifting team.

• The chance to shape how SUNSHINE learns and grows.

• New skills, new confidence, new connections.

• The joy of knowing you’re helping people feel less alone.

• That warm “I helped build something beautiful today” feeling.
