Shop volunteering helps fight the housing emergency by raising vital funds that enable Shelter to provide advice and support for people who are experiencing bad housing and homelessness, as well as powering us to campaign for change.
Benefits of volunteering with Shelter
Volunteers are essential to Shelter’s mission to end housing injustice. We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds. The insights and life experiences our volunteers bring to Shelter are valued as much as their contribution through volunteering.
We aim to provide our volunteers with a positive experience. This is by prioritising accessibility and tailoring the support we provide to the needs of the individual. We make sure our policies and processes are equitable, which means that no-one is unfairly disadvantaged while volunteering because of their background or identity.
Your skills and experience
We welcome applications from people with a wide range of skills and experiences. It doesn’t matter if you’ve not volunteered or worked in a warehouse before. What’s most important is that you are a team player, willing to learn and want to make a difference in tackling the housing emergency while gaining warehouse or logistic experience.
Supporting you
You will be provided with an induction into your role, access to relevant learning and a copy of our volunteer handbook.
The role, including learning and communications, are flexible, so can be tailored so they best suit your needs and preferences.
You will be able to claim reasonable volunteering expenses in line with Shelter’s volunteer policy. Where financial circumstances would be a barrier to volunteering, we may be able to offer these funds in advance.
You will be able to access our volunteer support package, including our colleague assistance programme and Shelter’s network of mental health first aiders.
Next steps
If you need to apply by an alternative method, please contact us or speak to someone at the shop.
We will then get back to you about your application. Shortlisted applicants will have a recruitment conversation to discuss the role further.

Vice Chair / Co‑Chair, Board of Trustees (Volunteer Role)
SUNSHINE Charity – Ending Loneliness for Londoners and Beyond
Do you believe no one should feel alone?
At SUNSHINE Charity, we’re a grassroots, volunteer‑powered start‑up building something bold, hopeful, and deeply human — a movement to end loneliness for Londoners and, one day, far beyond. We are at the very beginning of our journey, and the foundations we lay now will shape everything we become.
To guide this mission with wisdom, courage, and compassion, we need someone extraordinary.
We need you!!!
Why This Role Matters
Loneliness is silent, but its impact is loud. It affects mental health, physical wellbeing, confidence, and hope. Every day, thousands of people in our city feel invisible — and SUNSHINE exists to change that.
But a mission this important needs strong leadership. It needs governance that is thoughtful, ethical, and bold. It needs a Board that can steer a young charity through growth, challenge, and opportunity.
As our Vice Chair / Co‑Chair, you will help shape the strategic direction of SUNSHINE. You will support and challenge the organisation to be the best it can be. You will help ensure we stay true to our values, our purpose, and the people we exist to serve.
Your leadership will help someone feel less alone.
What You’ll Lead
This is not just a role — it’s a chance to build something meaningful from the ground up.
You will:
Support the Chair in leading the Board of Trustees, ensuring effective governance and strategic oversight.
Act as a critical friend to the CEO and leadership team, offering guidance, challenge, and encouragement.
Help shape the long‑term vision and strategy of a brand‑new charity.
Champion good governance, ensuring SUNSHINE meets its legal, ethical, and financial responsibilities.
Lead or co‑lead Board meetings, stepping in for the Chair when needed.
Support the development of a strong, diverse, and effective Board, helping to build a culture of collaboration and accountability.
Advocate for SUNSHINE, representing the charity externally and helping build relationships with partners, funders, and supporters.
Model our values, ensuring kindness, integrity, and connection guide every decision.
This is a role for someone who believes leadership is an act of service — and that good governance can change lives.
Who You Are
You’re someone who:
Cares deeply about people, community, and social impact.
Believes in kindness, connection, and purpose.
Has experience in leadership, governance, strategy, or organisational development.
Understands the responsibilities of charity trusteeship — or is eager to learn.
Thrives in start‑up environments where initiative and creativity matter.
Wants to help build something that will grow long after the first foundations are laid.
Is motivated by purpose — by the chance to make a difference that truly matters.
Most importantly, you’re someone who wants to help shape a future where no one feels alone.
Why Join SUNSHINE?
Because this is your chance to:
Help lead a brand‑new charity at a pivotal moment.
Shape strategy, culture, and impact from day one.
Work alongside passionate, hopeful, determined people.
Know that your leadership directly helps end loneliness.
Be part of something bigger than all of us.
Your guidance will help someone find connection. Your decisions will help someone feel supported. Your leadership will help someone feel less alone.
We Need You — Now
We are at the beginning of our journey, and strong governance will be the lifeline that helps us grow. If you’ve ever wanted to use your leadership to create real, lasting change, this is the moment.
If your heart is saying “yes,” then you have a heart of gold — and we want to hear from you.
How to Apply
Please submit your CV and a short statement about why this role speaks to you. We welcome people from all backgrounds, experiences, and walks of life — especially those who bring lived experience of loneliness or community support.
Come help us bring SUNSHINE into the lives of those who need it most.
Together, we can end loneliness.
Together, we can bring the sunshine back.
SUNSHINE is a small grassroots charity that works to reduce loneliness & help people feel more connected: through projects, partnerships & community
