We are looking for someone keen to move into the area of advising small charities on management and governance issues and assessing their needs in these areas.
We are a very ambitious local grant-making charity that also offers various training, support and consultancy services to small charities and community groups in Ealing & Hounslow. Our broad-ranging plans are now beginning to bear fruit and so we need someone to help us in the following areas as demand for our services begins to grow:
- Supporting small groups and start-ups with basic governance and management issues
- Promoting our services to local groups and assessing their needs
Our ideal candidate would have a good all-round management or professional background gained over a number of years, but need not be experienced in the areas mentioned above. You'd be given full training, with the opportunity to shadow the people already working in these areas. Far more important is adaptability, initiative, an ability to get on well with people from all sorts of backgrounds, and good organisational and writing skills. Most crucially you would have a demonstrable commitment to our ideals of promoting a strong and influential civil society in West London. You will thrive on challenges and find rewards in seeing our objectives achieved.
The role would probably require an average of 1 day a week and would involve dealing with our clients during office hours, so you will probably be someone who is working part-time, or is perhaps retired or semi-retired, or is otherwise not in full-time employment.
Much of the work would be taking place from home, but it will also involve quite a lot of face to face contact with clients, so living in the Ealing and Hounslow area would be a definite advantage.
All reasonable expenses will be reimbursed and refreshments provided where suitable.

A bit about this role...
Every penny counts when it comes to improving the lives of the thousands of cats and kittens across the UK that need our help each year. Our Collection Box Volunteers help us raise vital funds by collecting and distributing collection boxes in their local area.

As a flexible role, you have the choice to be involved in the following:
- Researching local shops, pubs and businesses to place Collection Boxes
- Delivering Collection Boxes to locations
- Recording donations and thanking local businesses and supporters
- Collecting and replacing Collection boxes when they're full
- Sharing your passion for cat welfare and promoting the work of Cats Protection
What are the benefits to you and the cats?
You will have the opportunity to develop your knowledge though Cats Protection’s learn online system, providing you with the skills to thrive as a fundraiser. You’ll also have the chance to meet new people and be part of a dedicated team of Volunteers.
Money raised by our volunteers enables us to put cats first. Cats are at the centre of all we do. We care for them, ensure their welfare, and help others to understand and better support them.
We're looking for someone with:
- Sympathy to cats and our values
- Good communication skills
- Confidence in speaking to members of the public
- Confidence in handling money
How much time is expected of me?
Our Collection Tin Volunteer role is very flexible and can be completed at your own pace, independently with our dedicated support.
Support, guidance and keeping you safe
At Cats Protection we believe our volunteers should be happy and confident in their roles. We provide support and guidance from our National Cat Centre and through our regional and local volunteer groups and teams. We offer engaging online and face-to-face training, expenses and have policies and processes to help volunteers get the most out of their time with us.
The wellbeing of our people is important and at Cats Protection we are committed to safeguarding children, adults at risk and all those that we encounter as part of our activities.
Thank you for your support and sharing in this commitment and for everything you will do during your time with Cats Protection!
Making a better life for cats, because life is better with cats

Inclusive Boards is delighted to be supporting Groundwork Wales in their search for their next Chair of Trustees.
About Groundwork Wales
Our charity exists to create a greener, fairer & stronger future for all people, communities and places in Wales. Groundwork is working across Wales to create stronger, healthier communities, responsible business and greater prospects for local people.
This is a challenging time for society, but a hugely exciting time for our organisation. Groundwork’s origins lie in the economic recession of the 1970s and the first Groundwork organisation was established as a radical experiment in bringing together public and private resources to support communities to tackle social and environmental challenges in tandem.
About the Opportunity
Groundwork Wales is seeking a new Chair of Trustees to provide leadership to the charity and its Board, ensuring that the Charity has maximum impact for its beneficiaries.
The Chair performs in a strategic rather than operational role, and holds the Board and Executive Director to account for the Charity’s mission and vision, providing inclusive leadership to the Board of Trustees, ensuring that each trustee fulfils their duties and responsibilities for the effective governance of the charity. The Chair will also line manage and support, and, where appropriate, challenge the Chief Executive and ensure that the Board functions as a unit and to achieve agreed objectives. They will act as an ambassador and the public face of the charity in partnership with the Chief Executive.
