COULD YOU BE SUNSHINE’S FIRST VOLUNTEERING MANAGER? (VOLUNTEER ROLE)

COULD YOU BE SUNSHINE’S FIRST VOLUNTEERING MANAGER?

Help Us Build Something That Could Change Lives

• What if one conversation could change someone’s life?
• What if one cup of tea, one smile or one new friendship could remind someone that they matter?

At SUNSHINE, we believe nobody should have to face loneliness alone.

We’re creating a brand‑new start‑up loneliness charity that will provide welcoming spaces where people can make friends, feel connected and discover that they belong.

But we can’t build it without the right people.

We’re looking for a kind, organised and people‑focused Volunteer to take on the role of Volunteering Manager to help us recruit, support and nurture the very first SUNSHINE volunteers — the people who will bring warmth, connection and community to life.

This is one of our earliest volunteer roles — a chance to help shape the foundations of a charity that could change lives across London.

About the Volunteer Role: Volunteering Manager (Volunteer)

As our Volunteering Manager, you’ll work closely with our Founder & CEO to build SUNSHINE’s volunteer programme from the ground up. You’ll help create a welcoming, supportive and empowering experience for every volunteer who joins us.

You don’t need years of experience or a perfect CV. You just need to be organised, friendly, reliable and passionate about helping people feel valued and connected — including the volunteers who make SUNSHINE possible.

You might help with:

• Designing simple, friendly volunteer recruitment and onboarding processes.

• Welcoming new volunteers and helping them feel confident, supported and part of the team.

• Coordinating volunteer roles, rotas and communication.

• Supporting early team development and helping build a positive volunteer culture.

• Checking in with volunteers, offering encouragement and helping them thrive.

• Bringing warmth, structure and kindness to everything we do.

Even a few hours each week could make a huge difference.

Why Join SUNSHINE?

• Be part of building a brand‑new charity from day one.

• Shape the volunteer programme that will become the heart of SUNSHINE.

• Work directly with the Founder & CEO.

• Gain hands‑on experience in volunteer management, community building and charity leadership.

• Help create places where friendships begin.

• Join a small, compassionate team who believe in kindness and community.

• Make a real, human difference to people experiencing loneliness.

Most importantly…

You’ll help ensure fewer people have to face loneliness alone.

A Personal Message From Our Founder

“I started SUNSHINE because I watched someone I love experience a loneliness that no one should ever have to endure.

That experience taught me something I’ll never forget: everyone deserves friendship, belonging and to feel seen.

SUNSHINE is my promise that we’ll create places where people feel welcomed, valued and connected — but I know I can’t build that future on my own.

I’m not looking for experts.

I’m looking for kind people who believe that together we can make a real difference.

If that sounds like you, I’d love to hear from you.”
