Graphic Designer (VOLUNTEER ROLE)

VOLUNTEER GRAPHIC DESIGNER (ONE‑OFF, REGULAR OR RESIDENT VOLUNTEER)

Join SUNSHINE — Bringing Connection, Joy, Community Spirit and SUNSHINE to Every Neighbourhood

WHO WE ARE

SUNSHINE is a start‑up loneliness charity at the very beginning of its journey — a modern, volunteer‑powered movement bringing people together through simple, meaningful activities that spark connection, build confidence, and spread joy.

Our work reflects the diversity of London — its cultures, communities, and neighbourhoods.

We don’t rely on a building or a centre. We go where people already are — parks, libraries, cafés, community halls, online spaces, neighbourhood corners. Wherever people gather, we show up with warmth, welcome, and community spirit.

Loneliness affects people of all ages and backgrounds, often silently.

We’re building a future where every neighbourhood feels connected, supported, and full of opportunities for people to grow, contribute, and belong. If you believe in people, community, and the power of small moments to create big impact, you’ll feel right at home here.

WHAT WE DO

SUNSHINE will be delivering free and low‑cost community‑led activities that help people connect, learn, and thrive, including:

• Social groups and pop‑up events

• Health and wellbeing sessions

• Skills workshops (digital, creative, financial, employment readiness)

• Family‑friendly activities

• Neighbourhood outreach in underserved areas

• Volunteer‑led community projects

Everything we do is shaped by local voices and powered by volunteers — bringing connection, joy, and community spirit to the places people already love.

OUR APPROACH

• Local — We go where people already are.

• Inclusive — Everyone is welcome.

• Flexible — We adapt to community needs.

• Volunteer‑Powered — People make this possible.

THE ROLE — VOLUNTEER GRAPHIC DESIGNER

We’re looking for a Volunteer Graphic Designer to help bring SUNSHINE to life visually — across print, digital, social media, campaigns, and community spaces.

This role is wonderfully flexible. You can support us:

• As a one‑off volunteer — helping with a single project or asset

• As a regular volunteer — supporting us when you can

• As a resident volunteer designer — becoming part of our creative family as we grow

Whatever your availability, your creativity will help shape how SUNSHINE looks, feels, and shows up in the world.

As our Volunteer Graphic Designer, you will:

• Create warm, modern, community‑centred designs for print and digital use.

• Support the development of posters, flyers, social media graphics, banners, and promotional materials.

• Help shape a visual identity that feels joyful, inclusive, and rooted in community spirit.

• Work with the Head of Marketing & Communications to bring campaigns and stories to life.

• Support the launch of our new charity with beautiful, accessible, eye‑catching visuals.

• Ensure designs reflect the diversity and vibrancy of London’s neighbourhoods.

• Bring creativity, clarity, and emotional resonance to everything you create.

If you choose to become a resident volunteer designer, you’ll also help shape long‑term brand consistency, creative direction, and the visual storytelling of the SUNSHINE movement.

This role is perfect for someone who:

• Loves creativity, design, and visual storytelling.

• Enjoys creating warm, modern, inclusive graphics that make people feel something.

• Has experience with design tools (e.g., Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, Figma) — or is excited to grow their skills.

• Wants to build a portfolio with meaningful, community‑impact projects.

• Thrives in start‑up environments where you can shape things from the ground up.

• Believes in the power of design to inspire connection and belonging.

• Wants to help reduce loneliness and strengthen neighbourhoods.

Time commitment is flexible and can fit around your life. We welcome people from all backgrounds and experiences — especially those with lived experience of the communities we serve.

WHY IT MATTERS

Loneliness is one of the biggest challenges facing our communities today. Too many people feel disconnected, unseen, or without a place to belong.

SUNSHINE exists to change that.

By joining us as a Volunteer Graphic Designer, you’ll help shape the visual heartbeat of a movement that brings people together, builds confidence, and creates moments of joy and belonging.

Your creativity will help us reach more people, inspire more volunteers, and bring SUNSHINE to neighbourhoods that need it most.

Together, we can bring SUNSHINE to every corner of our communities.
