• Experience developing pooled funding models or engaging with multilateral funding initiatives.

• Experience monetising services or designing other forms of business income.

About the RSPCA

Founded in 1824, we have been saving animals for almost 200 years and are proud to be the oldest welfare charity. It has always been our vision to live in a world where all animals are respected and treated with compassion, so our volunteers and employees work tirelessly to ensure that all animals can live free from pain and suffering.

We seek to raise standards of care through our numerous campaigns and awareness of issues affecting animals today. We rely heavily on our volunteers, who play a significant role in enabling us to carry out this important animal welfare work every day!

The animals come into our care from various sources such as those which are rescued, abandoned, neglected or given up by their owners.
