A bit about this role
At Cats Protection we passionately believe that neutering cats before they can breed is an essential part of cat ownership, and without neutering the UK’s cat population would quickly get out of control. Our neutering volunteers help spread positive neutering messages and make it easier for owners on low incomes to get their cats neutered. They help raise awareness of the benefits of neutering, promote our neutering schemes and respond to enquiries from members of the public.

What will you be doing?
SPORT 4 SUCCESS is looking for an experienced marketing or social media professional to lead the development of our marketing strategy and improve how we communicate our work.
We are a UK-based charity that uses sport to help young people develop life skills such as teamwork, communication and leadership. We have delivered a growing number of programmes and events, but our marketing and social media have not developed at the same pace as our delivery.
The volunteer will take leadership of our overall marketing direction, with support from trustees and less experienced volunteers who can help with content creation and delivery.
Key responsibilities will include:
This is a strategic and hands-on role. The volunteer will have freedom to shape our approach and test new ideas, while working closely with the charity’s trustees and wider team.
We are looking for someone with at least three years of professional experience in marketing, social media, communications, branding, content strategy or a related area.
The role is unpaid, UK-based and expected to require around two hours per week, with flexibility around when the work is completed.
What are we looking for?
We are looking for someone with at least three years of professional experience in marketing, social media, communications, branding, content strategy or a related field.
The most important requirement is the ability to develop a clear, practical marketing strategy and turn it into consistent activity. You should be comfortable taking ownership of the charity’s marketing direction while working collaboratively with trustees and other volunteers.
Our ideal volunteer will have:
Experience in the charity, education, youth or sports sectors would be useful, but it is not required. Experience supporting a growing organisation, working with volunteers or developing a brand would also be valuable.
You should be creative, reliable and comfortable working within a small team. We are looking for someone who will listen to different perspectives but can also make clear recommendations and lead the marketing approach.
You do not need to produce every piece of content yourself. Other volunteers and team members can support delivery. However, you should be able to set the direction, establish suitable processes and provide constructive guidance.
An interest in helping young people develop their skills and future opportunities through sport and education would be a strong fit with our work.
What difference will you make?
Strong marketing will help SPORT 4 SUCCESS reach more young people, schools, delivery partners, funders and volunteers.
At present, much of our impact happens through our programmes, events and direct relationships, but we do not communicate that impact consistently. This limits our ability to build awareness, attract support and show the value of our work.
Your work would help us create a clearer identity, communicate our purpose more effectively and build a consistent presence across our social media and wider marketing channels.
A stronger strategy would help us:
The role will also help us move away from ad hoc marketing and towards a structured approach that the wider team can follow.
As a small charity, this role would have direct influence. The volunteer’s ideas and recommendations would shape how SPORT 4 SUCCESS presents itself, communicates its work and grows over the next stage of its development.
The result will be a stronger platform for helping more young people build skills, confidence and future opportunities through sport and education.
Before you apply
Shortlisted applicants will be invited to an informal online conversation with members of our trustee team. This will be an opportunity to discuss your experience, learn more about the charity and explore how you would approach the role.
Applications will be reviewed as they are received, and we may arrange conversations before the closing date. We aim to respond to shortlisted applicants within two weeks of receiving their application.

About us
Established in 2020, we are a small, well-established charity with a strong grounding and a clear purpose. We raise funds to provide support to adopted, fostered and kinship care children and their families to improve emotional wellbeing, strengthen relationships, and reduce the impact of early trauma. In collaboration with leading UK practitioners, we support the delivery of a range of services providing essential therapeutic care and family support that isn’t covered by statutory funding. Services offered include Family Activity Days, Specialist Clinical Workshops, Advisory Consultations and Family Respite Camps. We also work to raise awareness of the challenges faced by children who cannot live with their birth families. We are a warm, committed team with a strong reputation for high‑quality support, clear governance, and genuine care for the families we serve.
To learn more about our work, please search online for “The Family Place Foundation”.

The charity is currently led by a Board of four trustees, supported by two part‑time operational staff and a small group of volunteers.
As Chair, you will provide leadership to the Board, ensure effective governance, and help the charity continue enabling the delivery of high‑quality, trauma‑informed support. You will work closely with the trustees and operational colleagues to help shape strategy, strengthen partnerships, and ensure the charity remains compliant, resilient, and focused on its mission. You will also play a key role in strengthening the charity’s governance and fundraising, which in turn enables the therapeutic delivery carried out by our specialist partner.
A supportive handover will be provided to ensure a smooth and confident transition into the role.

Warmth, clarity and good judgement, with a balanced, proportionate approach to governance.
A genuine commitment to improving the lives of adopted, fostered and kinship care children and an understanding of the challenges faced by families affected by early trauma.
Confidence in chairing discussions, helping the Board reach clear, well‑considered decisions.
An understanding of good governance, including risk, safeguarding and compliance (or a willingness to learn).
The ability to work collaboratively with trustees and our small operational support team, offering encouragement and constructive challenge while supporting the charity’s governance and fundraising role, which enables the specialist delivery work carried out by our partner.
Strategic thinking, with the ability to help shape the charity’s direction and ensure long‑term sustainability.
Reliability, integrity and a calm, steady approach, keeping the charity’s purpose at the centre of decision‑making.
Meets the eligibility requirements to serve as a charity trustee, as set out by the Charity Commission.
Helpful but not essential:
Experience of chairing a board or committee
Experience in charity governance, education, social care, therapeutic work, or community leadership would be helpful, but we are open to a wide range of backgrounds.
Lived or professional experience related to adoption, fostering, trauma or family support.
What We Offer
A warm, committed Board, small operational support team and group of volunteers who work collaboratively and value clear communication.
A meaningful opportunity to shape the future of a small but growing charity with a strong reputation for high‑quality, trauma‑informed support.
Flexible time commitments that fit around work and family life.
A chance to make a tangible difference to adopted, fostered and kinship-care children and young people, and the families who care for them.

Volunteer Animal Fosterer - RSPCA North West London and South Hertfordshire Branch
Could you open your home to an animal who needs a little extra time, care and love?
Not every animal is ready to go straight into their forever home. Some need somewhere quiet and comfortable while they recover from illness or treatment. Others need time to grow in confidence, experience life in a home environment or simply have someone give them the attention and reassurance they need.
That's where our fosterers come in.
By opening your home temporarily to a cat, rabbit, guinea pig or another small animal, you can give them something incredibly valuable - a safe place to settle, recover and be themselves while we find their forever home. You could be the person who helps a nervous cat discover that people can be trusted, gives a rabbit the chance to experience life in a loving home, or helps us understand exactly what an animal needs from their future family. And when the time comes for them to move on, you'll know that you played an important part in getting them there.
You won't be doing it alone Our fosterers are part of our wider animal welfare team. We'll get to know you, your home and your experience, and we'll support you throughout the placement.
We'll provide:
Fostering training and an induction.
Food and equipment needed for your foster animal.
Veterinary care.
Ongoing advice and support from our animal welfare team.
Reimbursement of other expenses agreed with us in advance.
You'll always be able to talk to someone if you have a question or are unsure about something.
What does fostering involve?
Every foster animal is different, so no two placements will be exactly the same. Depending on the animal, you might:
Give them a safe, comfortable and appropriate space in your home.
Provide food, fresh water and grooming as needed.
Spend time helping them feel safe, settled and comfortable.
Give them plenty of appropriate play, enrichment and, when they're ready, affection and cuddles.
Keep an eye on their behaviour and wellbeing and let our team know how they're getting on.
Give medication or support rehabilitation where needed.
Take them to routine or emergency veterinary appointments.
Tell us about their personality, likes, dislikes and the progress they're making.
Help us find the right forever home by sharing what you've learnt about them.
You don't need to be an animal behaviour expert. What matters most is patience, commitment and a willingness to learn.
Could you be a fosterer?
Fostering could be a great fit if:
You're aged 18 or over and have good experience of caring for animals.
Everyone in your household is happy to welcome a foster animal into your home.
You have enough time to give an animal the care and attention they need.
You're patient and able to adapt if their needs change.
You live within the area covered by our Branch, as shown on the accompanying map.
You're able to collect supplies from our offices.
You can transport your foster animal to veterinary appointments, including urgent appointments if needed.
Any animals already living in your home have been spayed or neutered. If this isn't possible for medical reasons, please talk to us - we can discuss your circumstances.
You don't need previous fostering experience. If you have the right experience with animals and are willing to learn, we'll provide the training and support you need.
What will you get from fostering?
Fostering can be incredibly rewarding.
You'll:
Make a direct difference to an animal who needs your help.
Give an animal the chance to feel safe and relaxed in a home environment.
Help an animal recover, build confidence or prepare for adoption.
Get to know an animal's individual personality and help us find the right forever home for them.
Develop your animal-care knowledge and practical skills.
Receive training and ongoing support from our team.
Become part of our community of staff and volunteers.
Gain valuable volunteering experience.
And, of course, you'll get to enjoy the company of your foster animal - without making the lifelong commitment that comes with adoption.
Finding the right foster animal for you
We don't expect you to foster every animal who needs a home.
Every animal is different, and we'll take the time to understand your home, your experience, your availability and the types of animals you're comfortable caring for. We'll then look for a foster placement that's a good match for both you and the animal. You'll have the opportunity to talk to us about each potential placement before you agree to take an animal. If a particular animal isn't right for you, that's absolutely fine. We want fostering to work well for everyone.
Could you give an animal a temporary home? If you've ever thought about helping an animal but adoption isn't right for you, fostering could be the perfect way to make a difference. You could give an animal the time, patience and care they need today - and help them take their next step towards a happy life in their forever home.
We'd love to hear from you.
All our voluntary roles are subject to an informal interview and an initial trial period. We'll ask you to provide details of two referees. Depending on the role and the animals you foster, you may also need to complete specific training and sign a volunteer agreement before you begin.
Ensuring every animal has a good life by rescuing and caring for those in need, speaking for them, and inspiring compassion and respect for all

Grow your skills: inspiring others, learning together and reinforcing your own happiness skills all contribute to personal growth.
