Rays of Sunshine exits to brighten the lives of seriously ill children aged three to 18 across the UK by granting magical wishes and providing ongoing support within the community. Our work creates a positive distraction, reduces isolation, improves self-esteem and creates precious memories and smiles.

Who we are

You will understand the funding environment for youth charities from government commissioning and Trust funding opportunities, and will be ambitious to manage and drive growth across Safer London’s high quality and innovative service offer.
You will be someone with social justice at the core of your personal values, someone who places equity and inclusion at the centre of everything you do. We are also looking for someone with an understanding of and curiosity to learn about the varied experiences and challenges of young Londoners’ lives.
If you are committed and resilient and believe you have what it takes to help us improve the lives of young Londoners and their families, please apply.
