The RSPCA East London and Havering Branch CIO (the "Branch") is seeking to appoint new Trustees to join the Branch Trustee Committee. This is an exciting time for the Branch as we aim to grow and enhance our services across East and South East London.

We are particularly interested in hearing from individuals who live or work in the areas we cover (E or RM postcodes), or who can travel to London for Branch meetings and fundraising activities.
What can we offer in return?
We offer all Trustees:
· Support from both the RSPCA team
· A platform to utilise your skills and experience to shape the charity and directly impact local animal welfare
· An opportunity to gain new skills and develop existing ones while making a real difference

What difference will you make?
Be part of the global sustainability media platform reaching millions in over 120 countries.
Over 85% of people in the UK and even more, globally, are unaware of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) let alone take any steps to create a more sustainable world for themselves and in the process for others in this complexly interconnected world.
This highlights the need for such initiatives to educate the British as well as global societies about the UN SDGs. Your contributions can educate and inspire millions to act on the SDGs and bring positive changes that will impact all of us in this complexly interconnected world.
As a podcaster/podcast host your contributions will play a vital role in sparking thoughtful conversations, spreading meaningful insights, and motivating others to take action for a more sustainable and climate-resilient future.
Most importantly your efforts will ensure that both individuals and organisations who see your videos and listen to the podcasts can come together and join forces to work in synergy, thus, benefitting more lives than acting alone.
Please include your CV, LinkedIn profile, any links to podcasts you’ve hosted, and a brief cover letter outlining your interest in the role.
