Job description

Help build the funding that will launch SUNSHINE’s first projects and spark a movement

SUNSHINE is a brand‑new charity with a bold mission: to replace loneliness with belonging and ignite a grassroots joy movement across London and beyond. We’re fresh, ambitious, and full of heart — and now we need a brilliant volunteer who can help us generate the seed income that will bring our vision to life.

If you love planning, creating, organising, and turning ideas into real‑world impact, this is your moment.

Why this role matters

We’re at the very beginning of our journey. The fundraising strategies you shape — and the small events you run — will become the foundation that allows SUNSHINE to launch its first services, reach its first communities, and grow into a national movement.

Every pound you help raise becomes a moment of connection for someone who needs it.

What you’ll do

You’ll take the lead on building our early fundraising momentum by:

  • Helping design simple, creative fundraising strategies.

  • Planning and running small, joyful fundraising events.

  • Exploring community partnerships and local opportunities.

  • Testing ideas that can grow into bigger campaigns.

  • Working closely with the Founder to build our first income streams.

  • Turning SUNSHINE’s mission into action people want to support.

This is a hands‑on, high‑impact role where your ideas genuinely shape the charity’s future.

What we’re looking for

You need fundraising experience or the skills and abilities, passion, initiative, and the confidence to make things happen.

You’ll thrive here if you are:

  • Organised and proactive.

  • Creative and full of ideas.

  • Energised by start‑up environments.

  • A natural people‑person.

  • Excited by the idea of building something meaningful from day one.

  • Motivated by purpose, not ego.

If you love bringing people together and making things happen, you’ll fit right in.

What you’ll gain

  • A leadership role in shaping a new national charity.

  • Creative freedom and trust.

  • A warm, supportive, values‑driven environment.

  • Real responsibility and real influence.

  • The joy of seeing your work directly fund life‑changing programmes.

This is a volunteer role — but it’s also a legacy‑building role. The kind you look back on and think: I helped build that.

Ready to help power SUNSHINE?

If you want to help build a movement that replaces loneliness with belonging, we’d love to hear from you.

 

Let’s build something beautiful together.
