Joy Spreader

Individual Volunteering
Written By Jenny Reed

Love Songs & Smiles? Know a few parents, playgroups or community spaces nearby? This role is all about sharing the joy locally so more families and older people living in care homes can experience the magic of our sessions.

As a Joy Spreader, you’ll help spread the word in ways that feel natural to you, whether that’s chatting to other parents, sharing a post online, or popping up a poster while you’re out and about. Small actions, big impact and plenty of joy along the way.

This role is perfect for:

  • Parents/guardians who love the sessions and want to help them grow

  • Students looking for a meaningful volunteering experience

  • Community-minded people who wish to make a difference

  • A workplace that wants to support a national charity at a local level

What you’ll be doing

You can choose the tasks that suit you best. They might include:

  • Sharing information in local Facebook groups, responding to posts from local parents asking for things to do, mentioning us on WhatsApp chats, or online forums

  • Putting up posters or handing out flyers in community spaces (e.g. cafés, libraries, playgroups)

  • Chatting to other parents or groups about the sessions

  • Keeping an eye out for local events or networks where we could promote Songs & Smiles

  • Being the friendly face of The Together Project in your community

What you’ll gain

  • Experience in community outreach and promotion

  • A role that’s flexible around your life

  • The joy of helping to bring people of different generations together

  • The chance to develop confidence, communication and creativity

  • Something brilliant to put on your CV!

We’re looking for people who are:

  • Friendly and reliable 

  • Passionate about community and connection

  • Confident talking to people online or in person

  • Good knowledge of your local area and parent networks, or willingness to find out

  • Aligned with our values of joy, togetherness, trust and optimism

  • No formal experience needed – we’ll support you all the way.
