Job description

VOLUNTEER WITH SUNSHINE!

Fundraising Volunteers Wanted!

Could YOU help us raise the SUNSHINE we need to get started?

SUNSHINE Charity is setting up — and we're on a mission to raise the seed funding we need to launch our charity and start delivering the programmes, activities and support that people experiencing loneliness and social isolation need.

We're looking for enthusiastic, creative and motivated fundraising volunteers who can help us turn ideas into fundraising opportunities and help us build the financial foundations of SUNSHINE.

Whether you've got fundraising experience, grant-writing skills, digital fundraising knowledge, business connections, event ideas — or simply a brilliant idea and the enthusiasm to make it happen...

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

WHAT YOU'LL HELP US DO

Working with our Founder and wider SUNSHINE team, you'll help us explore and develop different ways to raise the funds we need to get started.

This could include:

  • Crowdfunding & Digital Fundraising

Help us create and promote online fundraising campaigns that get people excited about SUNSHINE and inspire them to support what we're trying to achieve.

  • Small Grant Applications

Help identify suitable grant opportunities and support us with researching, writing and submitting small grant applications.

  • Fundraising Activities & Events

Help us come up with fun, creative and achievable fundraising ideas — and help organise small fundraising activities and events.

  • Business Support & Donations

Help us approach local businesses and companies to explore opportunities for:

  • Donations
  • Sponsorship
  • Gifts in Kind
  • Community Support
  • Partnerships
  • Fundraising Campaigns

Help us develop creative fundraising campaigns that tell the SUNSHINE story and inspire people to get behind us.

  • Community Fundraising

Help us find new ways for individuals, groups, communities and supporters to raise money for SUNSHINE.

  • Bring Your Own Ideas!

Have a fundraising idea we've never thought of?

We want to hear it!

WE'RE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WHO...

You might have experience in:

  • Fundraising
  • Grant Writing
  • Digital Fundraising
  • Marketing & Campaigns
  • Events
  • Business Development
  • Corporate Partnerships
  • Crowdfunding
  • Income Generation

But you don't have to be a fundraising professional.

We're also looking for people who are:

  • Passionate & enthusiastic
  • Creative & full of ideas
  • Confident communicators
  • Friendly & approachable
  • Proactive & willing to get stuck in
  • Organised & reliable
  • Passionate about making a difference

Most importantly...

You believe everyone deserves connection, community and a little more SUNSHINE.

THIS IS MORE THAN FUNDRAISING

Every pound we raise helps us get closer to launching SUNSHINE.

It helps us create:

  • Community sessions
  • Digital inclusion activities
  • Creative activities
  • Opportunities for people to meet others
  • Spaces where people feel welcome and included
  • Opportunities to build human connection

And ultimately...

More opportunities for people experiencing loneliness and social isolation to feel connected, valued and part of something.

HYBRID VOLUNTEER ROLE

A few hours per week

The majority of fundraising activity can be carried out remotely, making this a flexible volunteer opportunity.

Occasionally, you may be asked to attend activities in Tower Hamlets and across Inner London, including:

  • Fundraising Events
  • Business & Community Meetings
  • Fundraising Campaign Activities
  • SUNSHINE Events
  • Volunteer Meetings

HELP US GET SUNSHINE OFF THE GROUND!

We're at the beginning of our journey.

That means your contribution could make a HUGE difference.

You won't simply be joining an established fundraising department.

You'll be helping us BUILD one.

You'll have the opportunity to:

  1. Shape our fundraising approach
  2. Develop new fundraising ideas
  3. Build relationships with supporters
  4. Help secure our first grants
  5. Help bring in seed funding
  6. Create fundraising campaigns
  7. Connect SUNSHINE with businesses and communities
  8. See your fundraising directly contribute to launching our work
