Be part of a new era for animal protection
The League Against Cruel Sports is at an exciting point in its 100-year history. With a new Chair, a new CEO and a bold new strategy, we are entering the next chapter in our mission to end the persecution of animals for sport once and for all.
As Britain’s leading animal welfare campaigning charity, we expose cruelty, protect animals and drive legislative and cultural change. From helping to secure the landmark Hunting Act 2004 to tackling new and emerging forms of cruelty, our work is fuelled by compassion, evidence and impact.
We are now seeking new Trustees to join our Board at this pivotal time — people who can help guide our strategy, strengthen our governance and ensure the League continues to be a powerful voice for animals.
About the role
As a Trustee, you will:
- Share responsibility with fellow Trustees for the League’s governance, strategy, and financial oversight.
- Provide support, insight and constructive challenge to the CEO and senior leadership team.
- Help ensure the charity continues to deliver on its mission effectively, ethically and sustainably.
- Act as an ambassador for the League, promoting our work to supporters, partners and the wider public.
This is an exceptional opportunity to use your skills and experience to make a tangible difference for animals — and to help steer one of the UK’s most respected and influential campaigning charities into its next phase of growth and impact.
What we’re looking for
You’ll bring:
- A genuine commitment to animal welfare and to the League’s mission and values: Compassionate, Courageous, Credible, Collaborative and Connected.
- Strategic thinking, sound judgment and the ability to analyse complex information to make evidence-based decisions.
- Experience of operating at a senior or strategic level, ideally within a board or governance setting.
- A commitment to the principles of good governance and the Seven Principles of Public Life (selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership).
Previous trustee experience is welcome but not essential – we value diversity of thought, background and experience.
Time commitment
- One in-person Board meeting per year and three virtual meetings, plus an Annual General Meeting.
- Additional engagement between meetings as needed (approximately 1–2 days per month).
Trustee positions are unremunerated, with reasonable expenses reimbursed.
Join us
If you share our belief that cruelty to animals in the name of sport has no place in a modern society — and you’re ready to play a part in leading the League into its next chapter — we’d love to hear from you.
To apply, please send your CV and a short statement outlining your interest and relevant experience by 15 January 2026. Please see the Trustees Brief located on our website jobs page.
