At MINDSET Charity, we are embarking on a vital mission to redefine men's mental well-being and self improvement across the UK. We know the heart-breaking truth: silence costs lives.

This collective of committed individuals provides the essential governance, strategic oversight, and ethical leadership that ensures our charity remains true to its cause and delivers profound impact for men across the UK. Becoming a Trustee is a deeply rewarding commitment to shaping a legacy of hope and support.
Key Responsibilities:
-
Strategic Governance & Oversight: As a Trustee, you'll contribute to setting Mindset's long-term strategic direction, reviewing performance, and ensuring the charity remains focused on its charitable objectives.
-
Legal & Ethical Compliance: You'll safeguard Mindset's reputation and integrity by ensuring strict adherence to charity law, regulatory requirements, and the highest ethical standards.
-
Financial Stewardship: You'll oversee the responsible management of Mindset's financial assets, ensuring accountability, transparency, and the sustainable use of funds to maximise our impact.
-
Executive Accountability: The Board holds the CEO and COO accountable for the effective and efficient running of the charity, providing constructive challenge and support.
-
Advocacy & Representation: Trustees act as ambassadors for Mindset, using their influence and networks to raise awareness, build support, and champion our cause.

CAT FOSTERER
Cat Fosterer (Guildford & Epsom)
We’re looking for cat-loving volunteers to play a vital role in helping us improve the wellbeing of the cats in our care whilst they wait to be rehomed. Can you help them by providing a calm and caring home whilst we find their purrfect forever home?
Overview of the opportunity
As a cat fosterer, you would be supporting the RSPCA in providing our cats with the safety of your home whilst tending to their welfare needs such as feeding and grooming. In addition to this, by providing a temporary loving environment, you will play a crucial role in a cat’s wellbeing and socialisation, which will significantly improve their chances of successful rehoming.
Once everything is in place, the Guildford & Epsom Branch will guide you through the fostering process and ensure that you have all the necessary equipment, food, and veterinary care for your fostered cat. The RSPCA is also happy to reimburse any other pre-agreed expenses that you may incur through volunteering for us.
Whilst our cats are in your foster care, you will:
- Provide them with care, suitable housing, and a safe environment as per our policies and guidelines.
- Feed, water, and groom them in line with our advice.
- Transport them to any veterinary appointments if required.
- Provide them with your time and patience.
- Help us spread the word about the cats in your care so they might find their forever home quicker.
- Playing and cuddles are also a must!
What we are looking for in a volunteer Cat Fosterer
- Volunteers aged 18 or over who have had plenty of experience caring for cats.
- Fostering experience is beneficial but not essential as training is provided.
- For their wellbeing, our cats need to be kept in a separate room, so the whole family should be on board.
- Any existing pets or animals need to have been spayed/neutered (some medical reasons may mean they cannot be so, please let us know if this is the case).
What we can offer you as a volunteer Cat Fosterer
- You will be making a massive difference to the welfare of the cats in your care.
- Join a community which will enable you to meet new people and make new friends.
- Learning new skills through our comprehensive induction and fostering training programme.
- Enhance your CV by adding your volunteering experience and newly acquired skills.
It is worth mentioning that our cats do have different needs as whilst some are ready for rehoming others may require rehabilitation or ongoing medication. Therefore, we also aim to understand your situation and circumstances to ensure that we match you with your perfect foster cat.
PLEASE ONLY APPLY FOR THE ABOVE VACANCY IF YOU LIVE IN THE UK
Our voluntary roles are subject to an informal interview and trial period. We will ask you to provide contact details for two referees, and dependant on the position, you may need to sign an agreement and undergo specific training before starting the role.

Two of these appointments will also help lead specialist groups in these areas.

Key details:

- A supportive and inclusive team culture, with opportunities to influence sector-wide change
- Personal and professional development through board-level experience, networking, and leadership of special interest groups

These separately registered charities across England and Wales are run by volunteers who are unstinting in their work for animal welfare.
We are looking for friendly volunteers to help fundraise at fetes, in supermarkets and other outlets to collect vital donations that enable us to continue our animal welfare work. The more volunteers we have and funds we can raise, the more animals we can help!

Each of these events are equally important to raising vital funds as well as raising our profile in the community.

If you have a relaxed dog that likes meeting people, you are welcome to bring them along with you to street collections and fundraising drives as this is always a conversation starter!
Location is dependent on the event at which you choose to volunteer, you will be out in the community in the local area

- Good organisational and communication skills.
- Enjoy working with the general public.

What is PGIE?
In human healthcare, Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) has become a powerful way to make sure research meets real patient needs.

As a volunteer member, you’ll:
- Help shape an ethical framework for One Medicine, focusing on good practice in veterinary clinical trials and collaboration between human and veterinary medicine.
- Join virtual group meetings (around 6 per year, with at least 60% attendance expected).
- Share your ideas and perspectives to support our mission and influence real change.
- Work with others to build consensus on key issues.
- Support projects and campaigns that spread the message of One Medicine.
- Occasionally represent the group at meetings and events.
What you’ll bring:
- Good listening and communication skills.
- An open mind and respect for different perspectives.
- A real passion for making a difference.
- Enthusiasm for our mission to create a fairer, kinder future for all species.
What’s in it for you:
- Be part of something truly groundbreaking – PGIE is the first group of its kind.
- Play a direct role in giving animals a voice in medical progress.
- Help build stronger connections between humans and animals in the fight against disease.
- Be part of a supportive, inspiring community of people who care as much as you do.
While this is a voluntary role, we will do our best to cover any out-of-pocket expenses related to your involvement.
Together, we can make sure that all humans and animals benefit from equal and sustainable medical progress, but not at the expense of an animal’s life. This is One Medicine.
