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.

• Satisfaction, knowing that you're helping to raise vital funds and providing help and hope to people affected by dementia.

Join the Public Law Project as a Trustee and support us as we enter our new strategic phase, championing justice, fairness in state decision-making and upholding the rule of law.

Location: The Design Works, 93-99 Goswell Road, London, EC1V 7EY

Time commitment: Approx. one day per month

Closing date: Monday 23rd June

The Public Law Project (PLP) is seeking a dynamic and committed individual to join our Board of Trustees. As a Trustee, you will play a pivotal role in guiding an organisation dedicated to promoting access to justice, upholding the rule of law, and ensuring fair systems for everyone.

Who we are

For over 30 years, PLP has been at the forefront of public law in the UK, empowering individuals and organisations to challenge unlawful public decision-making. PLP works to ensure that the state acts fairly and lawfully, particularly when making decisions that impact marginalised and disadvantaged people. We bring strategic litigation, conduct groundbreaking research, and provide training to build expertise in public law. Our recent work includes challenging the Rwanda immigration policy, advocating for Windrush survivors, and scrutinising government use of AI and automation in decision-making.

Our work encompasses Strategic Litigation; we represent and support individuals and communities who are marginalised through discrimination or disadvantage when they have been affected by unlawful state decision-making. Our Research and Policy Advocacy is led by our expert team, which conducts in-depth research to inform policy and practice, ensuring that public law remedies and access to justice are not undermined. We provide Training and Events to build expertise in public law among lawyers, advisers, NGOs and public bodies. We work extensively in alliance with and support of people and communities who are minoritised and discriminated against.

PLP has been instrumental in shaping the public law landscape in Britain and as we embark on a new strategic phase, we are looking for a new Trustee to join our Board. We are developing a new strategy to counter emerging challenges, such as the rise of popularism and the misuse of AI in government decision-making. Your insights and leadership will be crucial in shaping PLP’s future direction and impact.

Recent successes, such as our High Court victory over the Department for Work and Pensions’ unlawful consultation on disability benefit reforms, potentially negatively affecting 400,000 people demonstrate the tangible impact of our work. Joining now offers the opportunity to build on these achievements and drive systemic change at a time when rights are under threat, and state accountability is undermined.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for a Trustee who is a strategic thinker, can work well with others while confidently holding their ground, and are skilled in providing both support and constructive challenge to executive leadership. Effective communication, emotional intelligence, and the ability to foster a positive and effective board dynamic are essential. We are looking for someone with expertise in Marketing and Communications, or Fundraising and Philanthropy, particularly in mid-level or major donor fundraising and income diversification.

Time commitment

The role requires a commitment of approximately one day per month, including attendance at four Board meetings per year (held in London or remotely) plus a development or strategy away-day, participation in committees of the Board or working groups, and engagement with PLP’s activities and events from time to time.

Joining the Public Law Project (PLP) as a Trustee offers a unique opportunity to make a significant impact on fairness and justice in the UK. As a trustee, you’ll contribute to an organisation nationally recognised for its dedication to upholding the rule of law and ensuring fair public decision-making. Collaborating with a diverse and dedicated group of trustees and staff, you’ll help shape PLP’s future direction, strengthening our governance, fundraising efforts and strategic initiatives.
