Become the First Head of the Volunteer Corps of the Principality of Lys

A Call to Honour. A Call to Creativity. A Call to History.

For twelve years, the Principality of Lys has quietly prepared its foundations — cultural, philosophical, and civic — for a moment that is now approaching. In 2027, we begin our next chapter: public events, international outreach, transparent nation‑building, and the first steps toward settling our 2.7 square miles of claimed European land.

But before that chapter can be written, one role must be filled. A role for someone with courage, imagination, and a sense of destiny.

We Are Seeking a Beacon of Honour and Chivalry

Head of the Volunteer Corps

A volunteer role unlike any other.

This is not a desk job. This is not a title for vanity. This is a foundational role — one that will shape the future of an emerging nation.

You will be the architect of our international volunteer programme, building pathways for citizens and supporters across the world to contribute:

• Remotely

• In hybrid roles

• In person on the ground in Europe

You will help design the systems, culture, and spirit that future generations of Lysians will inherit.

Why This Role Matters

Micronations come and go. But the ones that endure — the ones that become legends — are built by people who step forward when the world least expects it.

The Principality of Lys is entering a new era. We have the land. We have the vision. We have the cultural foundations.

Now we need you — someone who can rally others, inspire service, and help weave the first threads of a living, breathing community.

Your leadership will help us:

• Grow faster

• Grow stronger

• Grow with purpose

• Grow with honour

You will be the spark that ignites a movement.

What You Will Do

As Head of the Volunteer Corps, you will:

• Build and lead our volunteer programme from the ground up

• Recruit, train, and support volunteers across the world

• Shape the culture of service and civic duty within Lys

• Coordinate remote, hybrid and in‑person opportunities

• Help prepare for our 2027 public expansion

• Serve as a guardian of our values: honour, chivalry, creativity, and community

This is a role for someone who wants to leave a mark, not just fill a position.

Who You Are

You don’t need formal qualifications. You don’t need decades of experience.

You need:

• A sense of honour

• A desire to build something meaningful

• A creative mind

• A steady hand

• A belief in community

• And the courage to step into a role no one has ever held before

If you’ve ever wanted to help shape a nation — truly shape it — this is your moment.

This Is Your Invitation

• Stand with us.
• Grow with us.
• Help us build the Principality of Lys into a beacon of culture, creativity, and community.

History remembers the first. Will it remember you?

Head of Marketing & Communications (MINDSET Charity) - VOLUNTEER ROLE

Remote | Approx. 3 hours per week | MINDSET Charity (UK)

Lead the voice, story, and national presence of a movement transforming men’s lives

MINDSET is building a new kind of men’s mental wellbeing and personal growth movement in the UK — one built on action, challenge, brotherhood, and real‑world transformation. We’re here to change the narrative for men, and we need a powerful, strategic communicator to help take this mission nationwide.

This is your chance to shape the public face of a charity that is ready to grow, ready to be seen, and ready to make a real difference.

Why This Role Matters

MINDSET’s programmes change men’s lives — but the country won’t feel that impact unless our story is told boldly, clearly, and consistently.

As Head of Marketing & Communications, you will be the architect of how MINDSET shows up in the world. Your leadership will help us:

• Reach men who need us

• Inspire volunteers to join us

• Build trust with partners and communities

• Establish MINDSET as a national voice for men’s wellbeing

This is a founding leadership role — you will help define the brand, tone, and public presence of MINDSET from the ground up.

What You’ll Lead

As our Head of Marketing & Communications, you will:

• Shape and lead MINDSET’s national marketing and communications strategy

• Build a strong, consistent brand identity across all platforms

• Manage and grow our social media presence with purpose and clarity

• Create compelling content that inspires men, volunteers, and supporters

• Oversee messaging for campaigns, programmes, events, and recruitment

• Support fundraising and partnership communications

• Guide a small team of volunteers (designers, social media leads, content creators) as the charity grows

• Ensure everything we publish reflects our mission, values, and tone

This role is remote, flexible, and ideal for someone who wants to make a meaningful impact in just a few hours each week.

Who This Role Is Perfect For

You’ll thrive in this role if you are:

• A natural storyteller who understands how to move people

• Strategic, creative, and confident shaping a brand from scratch

• Experienced in marketing, communications, social media, or content creation

• Passionate about men’s wellbeing, personal growth, and community

• Excited by the idea of helping build a national movement

• Someone who loves turning ideas into campaigns that resonate

You do not need charity experience. You simply need experience and clarity, creativity, and a desire to help men live fuller, healthier lives.

What You’ll Be Part Of

MINDSET is redefining what men’s wellbeing can look like in the UK. We’re building a movement that helps men grow through:

• Challenge

• Accountability

• Brotherhood

• Purpose

• Real‑world action

Your work will ensure that this message reaches the men who need it most — and that MINDSET becomes a recognised, trusted, national presence.

If you want to help put MINDSET on the map across the UK…

We’d love to hear from you. Join us and help shape the voice of a movement built to change men’s lives.

HEAD OF MARKETING & COMMUNICATIONS (VOLUNTEER ROLE)

SUNSHINE Charity – Because No One Should Live in Lockdown Forever

Do you remember lockdown?

1. The silence.
2. The uncertainty.
3. The feeling of being cut off from the world.
4. The ache of missing people, connection, life.

Now imagine living like that every single day — not because of a pandemic, but because loneliness has quietly become someone’s normal.

At SUNSHINE, we refuse to let that be anyone’s story. Not in London. Not in our communities. Not while we’re here.

We’re here to bring back warmth, connection and joy — and we need someone extraordinary to help us tell that story to the world.

Who We Are

SUNSHINE is a brand‑new, grassroots, 100% volunteer‑powered charity on a mission to brighten the lives of people experiencing loneliness and social isolation. We’re small, passionate, and building something hopeful from the ground up. We’re awaiting our charity number — but our mission is already alive, growing and ready to shine.

Now we need someone who can help the world see us.

Your Role: Head of Marketing & Communications

This is your chance to shape the voice, identity and public presence of a charity from day one.

We need a creative, strategic, heart‑led communicator who can:

• Raise awareness of SUNSHINE across London and beyond

• Build our brand identity and ensure our message is warm, human and unforgettable

• Attract service users who need us

• Inspire volunteers who want to join us

• Engage supporters, funders and donors who believe in our mission

• Lead our digital presence, including social media, website content and storytelling

• Create campaigns that cut through the noise and make people feel something

• Champion our values in every message, every post, every piece of communication

You’ll be the one who helps SUNSHINE be seen, heard and felt.

Your work will help someone discover a lifeline. Your words will help someone feel less alone. Your storytelling will help us grow into the charity we’re meant to be.

Who You Are

• You’re someone who understands the power of a story.
• You know how to make people stop scrolling, stop thinking, and start feeling.
• You’re creative, strategic, and excited by the idea of building a brand from scratch.
• Maybe you’ve worked in marketing, communications, PR, digital media, branding or content creation.
• Maybe you’ve led campaigns or built communities online.
• Maybe you’ve helped organisations grow their visibility and voice.

What matters most is your passion, your imagination, and your belief that connection can change lives.

Why Join Us Now?

Because this is the moment everything begins.

You won’t just be promoting a charity — you’ll be helping to build it. Your ideas will shape our identity. Your creativity will shape our reach. Your voice will shape our future.

If you want to be part of something hopeful, human and life‑changing, this is your moment.

How to Apply

Send us your CV and a short statement about why this role speaks to you.

We welcome people from all backgrounds, experiences and walks of life.

Let’s make SUNSHINE impossible to ignore — together.
