The Role: Build a Culture of Safety, Trust, and Protection

As a 100% volunteer‑run and volunteer‑led start‑up charity, we are searching for experienced, knowledgeable, and deeply committed Safeguarding Volunteers to lead on all safeguarding aspects across SUNSHINE.

This is not just a role. This is an opportunity to shape the protective framework of a movement designed to transform loneliness into belonging across London and beyond.

You will help us create a safeguarding environment that is:
