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 create a weekly space where people can breathe, connect, reflect, and feel supported, we need someone extraordinary.

We need you!!!

Why This Role Matters

Loneliness affects more than our social lives — it affects our wellbeing. It impacts confidence, mood, motivation, and hope. Many people go through entire weeks without a single meaningful interaction.

Wellbeing Wednesdays will be one of SUNSHINE’s core programmes — a gentle, uplifting weekly session offering conversation, activities, mindfulness, creativity, and community.

As our Programme Coordinator, you will help create a safe, warm, and nurturing environment where people can reconnect with themselves and with others.

Your presence 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:

• Plan, organise, and coordinate SUNSHINE’s weekly Wellbeing Wednesday sessions, ensuring they run smoothly and consistently.

• Develop session themes and activities, such as mindfulness exercises, creative workshops, group discussions, or gentle wellbeing practices.

• Support volunteers, helping them feel confident, prepared, and aligned with the programme’s purpose.

• Create a welcoming, calm, and inclusive atmosphere where participants feel safe to share and connect.

• Manage logistics, including scheduling, materials, venues (or online platforms), and participant communication.

• Track attendance, feedback, and wellbeing outcomes, helping us understand impact and continuously improve.

• Collaborate with the wider team, ensuring the programme reflects SUNSHINE’s mission and values.

This is a role for someone who believes wellbeing grows through connection — and connection grows through kindness.

Who You Are

You’re someone who:

• Cares deeply about people’s emotional wellbeing and mental health.

• Believes in kindness, compassion, and the power of gentle community spaces.

• Has experience in wellbeing, community engagement, facilitation, support work, or people‑focused roles.

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

• Is organised, reliable, and comfortable leading small groups.

• Wants to help build something that will grow long after the first foundations are laid.

Most importantly, you’re someone who wants to help people feel grounded, supported, and connected.

Why Join SUNSHINE?

Because this is your chance to:

• Shape a weekly wellbeing programme that brings comfort and connection to people who need it.

• Create a space where people feel safe, valued, and uplifted.

• Work alongside passionate, hopeful, determined people.

• Know that your work directly helps end loneliness.

• Be part of something bigger than all of us.

Your sessions will help someone feel calmer. Your leadership will help someone feel understood. Your programme will help someone feel less alone.
