You’ll oversee events and entertainment coordinators working on specific projects, ensuring events are well-planned, properly funded, safe, and accessible to all.

-
-
Work with the wider Events, Entertainments & Challenges team to design new, engaging opportunities for supporters.

Build and lead a team of creative volunteers, supporting them to contribute ideas and take ownership of projects.
-
Help ensure events raise vital funds to support Living Reasons’ work, while also being enjoyable, inclusive, and meaningful for all participants.
What We’re Looking For
-
A creative thinker who sees beyond traditional event formats.
-
Strong organisational and planning skills.
-
Ability to lead and inspire a team of coordinators and volunteers.
-
Confidence in problem-solving and thinking outside the box.
-
A commitment to accessibility and inclusivity in every project.
-
Enthusiasm for fundraising and creating unique supporter experiences.
What You’ll Gain
-
A chance to develop and showcase leadership, event management, and creative design skills.
-
Experience in building and leading a team of passionate volunteers.
-
The opportunity to test bold ideas and bring innovative events to life.
-
The knowledge that your creativity is directly supporting meaningful change.
-
A supportive, collaborative environment where your ideas are valued.
Interested?
If you’re excited about reimagining events and entertainment, we’d love to hear from you. Bring your ideas, your energy, and your creativity — and let’s design the future of events together.
To create equality and equity in all areas of society, opening opportunities that are less damaging and focused on the person as a whole.

Our vision for volunteering
Volunteering is and always will be at the heart of Cats Protection. It is joyful and inclusive. As a charity, working in partnership, together we transform the lives of cats, people and communities.
The difference you will make to cats and people
Thousands of cats each year rely on the help of animal charities because they have been abandoned, they have strayed or because there has been a change in their owner’s circumstances. Becoming an administration volunteer is just one way you can help improve the lives of cats in your local community. Our administration volunteers help provide vital admin support to our volunteer groups and teams across Cats Protection. They help keep up to date records of the number of cats that have been rehomed, collate supporter details and send out newsletters. This could be the perfect volunteer role if you have administrative experience, a passion for cats, or both!
You can expect us to
· Make you feel welcome, included and respected in line with our values and behaviours
· Support you in having a positive and impactful experience at Cats Protection
· Cover agreed out-of-pocket expenses in line with our Expenses Policy
· Provide you with access to learning, development and engagement opportunities
What we need from you
You’ll be:
· Recording relevant information related to your volunteer group
· Signposting enquiries to the relevant teams within Cats Protection
· Sending information to supporters, volunteers and to our Head Office
· Distributing information leaflets if required
Time expectation
Our administration volunteers usually spend 2 to 3 hours per week in this role, which is flexible and can be shared by more than one volunteer if needed.
