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’re at the very beginning of our journey, and what we build now will shape everything that comes next.

To share our mission with the world — to reach the people who need us and the people who want to help — 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 people can only reach out for help if they know we’re here. Volunteers can only join us if they feel inspired. Supporters can only believe in us if they understand our story.

As our Head of Marketing & Communications, you will be the voice that carries SUNSHINE into the world. You will shape how people see us, feel about us, and connect with us.

Your words 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:

• Develop and lead SUNSHINE’s marketing and communications strategy across all channels.

• Build our brand identity, ensuring it reflects warmth, hope, and human connection.

• Create compelling content — stories, campaigns, social media, newsletters, and more.

• Grow our online presence, building a community of supporters, volunteers, and partners.

• Shape our messaging, ensuring clarity, consistency, and emotional impact.

• Support service and fundraising teams with communications that amplify their work.

• Monitor engagement and continuously improve, ensuring our voice reaches the people who need it most.

This is a role for someone who believes storytelling can change hearts — and change lives.

Who You Are

You’re someone who:

• Loves crafting messages that move people.

• Believes deeply in kindness, connection, and purpose.

• Has experience in marketing, communications, digital media, branding, or storytelling.

• Thrives in start‑up environments where creativity and initiative matter.

• Wants to 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 people feel seen, heard, and understood.

Why Join SUNSHINE?

Because this is your chance to:

• Shape the voice and brand of a brand‑new charity.

• Build campaigns that inspire people to take action.

• Work alongside passionate, hopeful, determined people.

• Know that your work directly helps end loneliness.

• Be part of something bigger than all of us.

Your campaigns will help someone discover support. Your storytelling will help someone feel understood. Your leadership will help someone feel less alone.
