Volunteer Manager & Deputy Manager – Help Us Build a Community Where No One Feels Alone

Lead with heart. Create connection. Change lives.

At Bright Connections, we believe in a simple but powerful truth: no one should feel alone.

We are a brand new and small, volunteer-run and community-led charitable project based in East London, on a mission to break social isolation for people living with disabilities. Through joyful activities, shared experiences, and a community rooted in belonging, we create spaces where friendships can grow, confidence can flourish, and every person feels seen, valued, and connected.

Our journey began with one family’s love for a sister whose world had become small and quiet. From that love grew a movement — one that believes friendship is a human right, and that connection can transform lives.

To help us get fully set up and launched, we are looking for two volunteers, who can take on these flexible hybrid volunteer roles of Manager and Deputy Manager to help lead Bright Connections and shape its future.

Your role

As part of our small and passionate leadership team, you will help guide the direction of the project, support volunteers, and ensure our activities continue to bring joy and connection to those who need it most.

This is a flexible, hybrid role, designed to fit around your life while making a meaningful impact.

You might be involved in:

• Coordinating and supporting volunteers.

• Helping plan and oversee activities and community events.

• Contributing to the development and growth of the project.

• Ensuring a warm, inclusive, and welcoming environment for all.

Why this matters

• Your leadership will help create spaces where friendships begin.
• Your support will help someone feel seen, valued, and included.
• Your time will help build a community that changes lives.

Who you are

• Compassionate, reliable, and motivated by making a difference.

• Comfortable taking initiative and working as part of a small team.

• Interested in leadership, community work, or building something meaningful.

• Able to commit flexibly in a hybrid (remote and in-person) capacity.

What you’ll gain

• The opportunity to play a key leadership role in a growing community initiative.

• Valuable experience in project coordination and team leadership.

• A chance to shape something meaningful from the ground up.

• The knowledge that your contribution is helping reduce isolation and build real human connection.

At Bright Connections, we are more than a project, we are a movement rooted in kindness, inclusion, and belonging.

Together, we shine brighter.

If you’re ready to help lead with purpose and heart, we would love to hear from you.

Help us build a community where no one is left behind.
