Championing Animal Welfare at the Heart of Global Communities
Around the world, 100 million working horses, donkeys and mules power the daily lives of an estimated 600 million people. They carry food, water and goods, support small businesses and enable families to build more secure livelihoods. When these animals struggle, communities struggle with them - many face preventable suffering due to harsh environments, limited access to veterinary care and the pressures of poverty.
Brooke exists to change this. As the leading international charity dedicated to improving the welfare of working equines, we reach more than 1.4 million animals and 1.1 million people each year across South Asia, Africa and Central America. Our approach spans community-led programmes, systems strengthening, advocacy, and partnerships that help improve animal welfare and support community resilience.
As we prepare to launch our next global strategy, we seek two new Trustees, with expertise in Fundraising and in Safeguarding, to join our Board and guide Brooke through our next chapter.
For the Fundraising Trustee, you will bring broad-based senior fundraising expertise to support Brooke in continuing to diversify and grow our income sustainably. Acting as a strategic partner to the executive team, you will contribute to long‑term planning, investment decisions and supporter engagement, strengthening our financial resilience and global impact.
For the Safeguarding Trustee, your deep expertise will support the continual improvement of safeguarding across Brooke’s international operations. With significant experience in safeguarding within complex global or humanitarian contexts, you will support strong risk management, ethical practice and robust standards across our work worldwide.
For both roles, we seek individuals with a strong commitment to Brooke’s mission and values, sound judgement, and the ability to provide constructive challenge within an inclusive Board. First‑time trustees with relevant expertise are welcome.
If you want your professional insight to make a tangible difference - not only to animals, but to the people whose futures are bound to them - we would be delighted to hear from you.
For an informal and confidential conversation please contact:
- Stephanie Crossland
- Emily Nevins
Closing Date: Sunday 8th March 2026
