We are looking for enthusiastic people to join our trustee committee and help shape and deliver animal welfare in the East and South East London areas.
The RSPCA East London and Havering Branch aims to align its core objectives with those of the National RSPCA — specifically: to rescue, rehabilitate, rehome, and protect animals.
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.
What does the Branch do?
Our Branch covers postcodes within East and South East London (those beginning with E or RM). We operate boarding facilities where we care for, rehabilitate, and rehome cats rescued by RSPCA Inspectors.
We are an independent charity, working in partnership with the National RSPCA, a separate charity. Together, we deliver the RSPCA's mission — focused on frontline animal welfare and community engagement.
As an independent branch, we fundraise and manage our resources independently to deliver animal welfare services. We receive some financial support and guidance on best practices from the National RSPCA to ensure we comply with Charity Commission regulations.
Future Plans
In the coming years, our plans include:
· Developing and executing plans for sustainable income growth
· Building out our volunteer and supporter network
These plans are continuously reviewed and developed by the Branch Trustees to ensure we focus our efforts on helping as many animals as possible.
What are we looking for?
We are looking for people from all social and cultural backgrounds with experience or skills in any of the following areas:
· Accounting
· Marketing and Communications (including social media, PR, websites)
· Fundraising (including corporate fundraising, trust fund and grant applications)
· Local community and supporter engagement
· Charity growth and development
· Veterinary or animal welfare
· Volunteer management
Alongside relevant experience, we’re looking for people who are committed to the RSPCA’s charitable objectives and share our passion for animal welfare. You should be a creative, innovative team player, bring a fresh perspective, and be able to turn ideas into action.
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
· A chance to expand your professional and personal network by working with like-minded people
Practical Considerations
Please note:
· You must be based in London or can have regular access to London to join our fundraising activities
· You must be aged 18 or over and a UK tax resident to join the Trustee Committee
· You must be a member of our Branch before you are eligible to be co-opted or elected as a Trustee
· Trustees are elected for a 12-month term each year
· Reasonable expenses will be reimbursed
· Trustees must sign a Declaration of Willingness to Act and confirm they are not disqualified from being a Trustee (more information is available on the Charity Commission website)
What difference will you make?
As a Trustee, you will:
· Help shape the strategy and direction of the Branch
· Contribute your unique skills and experience to decision-making
· Work as part of a collaborative and motivated team
· Develop your own skills or pass them on to others
Together, we can make a significant impact on animal welfare in our community.
Please include also a cover letter explaining why you are interested in this role and detailing your relevant skills, knowledge, experience, and motivation.
