Sunday Assembly London is a secular organisation which aims to help tackle the loneliness epidemic by encouraging Londoners to live better, help often and wonder more – together! We meet twice a month to listen to uplifting talks and spoken word performances, sing pop songs together (because communal singing is great for mental health) and enjoy chats over tea and biscuits. We pride ourselves on our inclusivity and welcome all who welcome all. Front of House Lead is the ideal role for a friendly and outgoing person who wants to give their time to developing the community, ensuring that newcomers feel welcome, and making sure that things run smoothly on the day.
