About the RSPCA
We’re proud to be the oldest welfare charity in existence
- We were the first to introduce a law to protect animals and we work hard to ensure that all animals can live a life free from pain and suffering.
-
Through our campaigns we raise standards of care and awareness of issues for the animals who have no voice. We push for laws to be changed, improving the welfare of animals on farms, in research labs, in the wild, in paddocks or in our homes.
-
Through investigations and prosecutions, we stand up to those who deliberately harm animals to send out a clear message - we will not tolerate animal abuse.
-
Our highly trained officers tackle neglect and cruelty at every level and are working hard to stamp out large-scale serious, organised and commercial animal cruelty.
-
We believe every animal has the right to be counted as an individual. Animals can rely on us to rescue them when they need us most. To rehabilitate them wherever possible, provide them with the very best veterinary care and to find them new homes, either through rehoming or release.
What are we looking for?
-
Most people aged 18 or over are eligible to become a trustee. You will need to become a member of the RSPCA. Good interpersonal skills are important. You do not need to be an expert, although commitment, common sense and the ability to be objective is vital.
-
Specific skills such as finance, fundraising, project management, business experience, and awareness of employment and/or charity legislation can be useful, but not essential.
-
Trustees must sign a Trustee Declaration of Willingness to Act to clarify that they are not disqualified from being a trustee and that they accept the post.

You will have the opportunity to gain new skills and develop existing ones, whilst making a real difference to the lives of animals.

Athari Group
We take future nonprofit founders through a first-of-its-kind accelerator for idea-stage nonprofits.
The marketplace of ideas has a support gap: a great business or social enterprise can get funded at the idea stage, but nonprofits are typically not funded before they get off the ground. Individuals with great ideas often lack the requisite knowledge, fundraising capacity, support, and network to start a successful organization. Athari Group helps to bridge that gap, and support those interested in being in service to a cause greater than themselves.
We take future nonprofit founders through a first-of-its-kind accelerator for idea-stage nonprofits. Leaders in our program receive world-class mentorship and networking opportunities with nonprofit founders, workshops from root cause analysis to board development to initial and advanced fundraising, and the experience of learning alongside a group of peers.
When you work with Athari Group you will get the opportunity to own projects and work directly with our CEO, CMO and co-founders. We want you to be able to learn and enjoy the experience and engaging with our senior team is one way we do that.
Writing Coach
Volunteer Role Description (remote, unpaid)
In this role, over the course of two months, you are working with co-founder of a new nonprofit (nonprofits primarily in Africa, Latin American and Asia) to write their first grant. It ends up being 10-15 pages but they write it in 2-3 page sections every two weeks with you reviewing and giving feedback. You are not a copy-editor just looking for writing mistakes, although that is welcome, but thinking through their way of explaining their story, the problem they are addressing and their planned work. Sometimes things which are obvious to them are not obvious to a reader from another part of the world so you are looking for those gaps as well.
This document will be a key document for them as they apply for grants in the future.
Time commitment is 1-2 hours a week.

2-3 hours per week

Burbrella Learning Academy
Burbrella is a transformative microschool network and social enterprise that reimagines education for underserved, gifted, neurodivergent, and marginalized learners through culturally grounded, trauma-informed, and personalized learning environments.
Traditional public education systems often fail to serve students equitably, especially those who are neurodivergent, gifted, or from historically marginalized communities. These systems disproportionately punish Black and Brown neurodivergent youth through suspensions, expulsions, and criminalization, contributing to the school-to-prison pipeline. Standardized curricula and overstimulating environments exclude students with ADHD, autism, and sensory processing differences, while cultural misalignment, misdiagnosis, and overcrowded classrooms further isolate and stigmatize these learners. Public schools also frequently overlook the needs of families with nontraditional work schedules, leaving parents out of the educational process. In addition, most school buildings are not designed with neurodiverse learners in mind, lacking sensory-friendly design. Burbrella directly addresses these systemic issues by offering inclusive, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive microschools where students learn in small, supportive environments tailored to their strengths, identities, and needs. We center restorative practices, sensory-conscious design, family partnership, and differentiated instruction to ensure all students are seen, respected, and equipped to thrive.
Burbrella is building a holistic educational ecosystem that closes opportunity gaps and cultivates empowered learners ready for the future. Our microschools offer safe, identity-affirming, and high-growth environments tailored to the unique strengths of Black, Brown, and neurodivergent students.
We serve learners from early childhood through high school using a scaffolded model:
- K–2: Play-based learning emphasizing sensory exploration, social-emotional development, early literacy, nature, and culinary arts.
- Grades 3–5: STEM-centered inquiry with hands-on exploration in environmental science, robotics, and math fluency. Grades 6–8: Interdisciplinary project-based learning integrating civic engagement, tech fluency, and mastery-based progression.
- Grades 9–12: College, career, and entrepreneurship readiness with dual enrollment, internships, and real-world business development opportunities.
Our model integrates restorative practices, sensory-informed spaces, low student-teacher ratios, and culturally responsive pedagogy to ensure every learner can thrive.
