Fundraising Volunteer - RSPCA North West London & South Hertfordshire Branch

Could you use your fundraising skills to help animals?

Every year, our Branch rescues, cares for and rehomes hundreds of unwanted, stray and abandoned animals. We also help local pet owners who are struggling to afford essential veterinary treatment, helping animals get the care they need and, wherever possible, stay with the people who love them.

As a local RSPCA branch, we raise the money we need ourselves. Donations, grants, gifts in wills and support from our local community make it possible for us to rescue animals, provide veterinary treatment, care for them while they are with us and find them loving new homes. We're looking for a Fundraising Volunteer to help us find new sources of funding and develop ideas that will bring more support to our work.

This could be a great opportunity if you have fundraising experience and would like to use your skills for something that has a direct local impact. You don't need to be an animal welfare expert. We can tell you all about our work and the difference your fundraising could make. What matters most is that you care about animals, have good ideas and enjoy finding ways to bring people and organisations together to support a cause.

What will you be doing?

There are lots of ways you could get involved, depending on your experience and interests.

You might:

• Research charitable trusts, foundations and other grant-making organisations that could support our work.

• Identify new local and national funding opportunities.

• Help us prepare information and applications for grants and funding bids.

• Research potential corporate, community or other fundraising opportunities.

• Help develop appeals to raise money for specific projects and urgent needs.

• Help us tell the story of what we do and why our work needs support.

• Bring your own fundraising ideas and help turn them into reality.

You don't need to be an expert in all of these areas. We're happy to discuss what you're good at, what interests you and how you'd like to contribute.

Who we're looking for

This role could be a good fit if you have:

• Some previous fundraising experience, whether paid or voluntary.

• An interest in animal welfare and the work we do locally.

• Good written communication skills.

• The ability to research information and identify relevant opportunities.

• Creativity and an ability to think of new ways to generate support.

• The confidence to work independently while keeping in touch with the team.

We're particularly interested in hearing from people who enjoy finding opportunities, making connections and turning good ideas into action.

Flexible volunteering

We understand that volunteers have busy lives, so we're happy to be flexible. Much of this role can be carried out from home, and you can agree your time commitment with us based on your availability and what you would like to get involved in. You're also very welcome to spend time at our Eastcote office if you'd enjoy working alongside our team.

You'll be supported

Although you'll be using your own skills and experience, you won't be left to work things out on your own.

We'll introduce you to our Branch, our work and our priorities and provide the information, guidance and policies you need to carry out your role confidently. You'll have a named contact within the Branch and will be part of our wider team of staff and volunteers.

The wellbeing of our people is important to us. We're committed to safeguarding children, adults at risk and everyone we come into contact with through our work.

What difference could you make?

Your fundraising could help us:

• Rescue an animal who has nowhere else to go.

• Pay for essential veterinary treatment.

• Provide food, medication and everyday care.

• Improve accommodation and equipment for animals in our care.

• Support an owner who is struggling to afford veterinary treatment for their pet.

• Help more animals find loving new homes.

• Develop our services and make sure our Branch is here for animals and their owners in the future.

Your skills could directly translate into better lives for animals in our community.

You'll also have the opportunity to:

• Use your fundraising experience for a cause you care about.

• Gain or build on your charity fundraising experience.

• Develop your research, bid writing and communication skills.

• Add meaningful voluntary experience to your CV.

• Meet other people who care about animal welfare.

• Become part of a friendly and committed local team.

• Help shape the future of an independent RSPCA branch.

Could you help us raise more for animals?

If you're a fundraiser who'd like to use your skills for something genuinely local and worthwhile, we'd love to hear from you.

Whether you can offer a few hours a month, have a particular area of fundraising expertise or simply have ideas you'd like to explore with us, we'd be interested in talking to you.

• Strong written communication and storytelling skills
• The confidence to introduce new ideas and advise a small charity on its marketing priorities

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:

• Reach more schools and youth organisations
• Attract volunteers with the skills needed to grow the charity
• Build relationships with sports organisations and corporate partners
• Support fundraising and sponsorship activity
• Promote programmes and events
• Share evidence of our impact
• Give young people and schools a stronger voice in our communications

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.

Do you have a direct Latin American background and financial expertise you want to put to meaningful use?

This is a great opportunity to contribute to the financial management and sustainability of a registered charity that has supported Latin American and other migrant communities through information, advice and guidance for vulnerable individuals, children and young people's activities and projects, adult education opportunities, and community-led cultural projects since 1983.

About us

LAH is a community-led charity driven by and for Latin Americans in the UK. For decades, we have been supporting Latin American and other Spanish and Portuguese-speaking migrants, championing their rights, wellbeing, and inclusion. We are a small, close-knit team with big ambitions, and everything we do is rooted in the lived experiences of the communities we serve. Our work takes place across London and at our community centre in Kilburn, North West London.

About the role

This is a voluntary, non-executive governance role with a time commitment of just 2 to 3 hours per month. As Finance Trustee, you will Chair our Finance and Fundraising Sub-Committee, providing board-level oversight of LAH's financial health: reviewing management accounts, scrutinising budgets and forecasts, ensuring our financial controls are robust, and supporting the wider Board of Trustees at Latin American House to understand financial risk and sustainability.

You will work closely with LAH Director and finance team, contributing to the approval of annual accounts and budgets, and ensuring we meet our Charity Commission and Companies House obligations.

This is strategic oversight, not day-to-day operations - the hands-on finance work stays with our staff.

If you have ever wanted your professional skills to serve your community, this is how.

What we are looking for

You will have a direct Latin American background, this is a requirement of LAH's governing documents, alongside experience in finance, accounting, budgeting, or financial management. You will be able to translate financial concepts clearly for non-finance trustees, bring sound judgement and analytical thinking, and be comfortable in an organisation where systems are still growing and developing.

You do not need prior trustee or charity experience. What matters is integrity, a collaborative spirit, and a genuine commitment to the communities LAH serves. 

What we offer

• A meaningful governance role at the heart of a values-driven organisation
• The chance to contribute your financial expertise directly to your community
• Full trustee induction and ongoing governance support
• A collaborative, committed Board of Trustees working towards a shared mission
• Reasonable out-of-pocket expenses reimbursed

Latin American House is a registered charity (1127253) and registered company (06720498). Trustees serve in a voluntary capacity.

Help Launch SUNSHINE Charity — A New Movement Tackling Loneliness Across London

SUNSHINE Charity is a vibrant, human‑centred, 100% volunteer‑powered start‑up dedicated to bringing positivity, connection, community and belonging to adults across London.

We’re building a movement that helps people feel seen, valued and connected — but to launch fully, we need strong, committed, proactive Trustees who can help steer us into our next chapter.

This is our final recruitment round before launch. If we don’t strengthen our board now, SUNSHINE cannot move forward.

If you’re passionate, skilled and ready to make a real difference, we need you.

Who We’re Looking For

We need hands‑on, energetic, London‑based Trustees who can help us set up, launch and grow the charity. You must live or work in London and be able to attend in‑person meetings, especially at the beginning, to sign essential documents for the Charity Commission.

We are especially seeking Trustees with experience in:

1. Fundraising & Grants Writing — securing funding, writing strong bids, building donor relationships.
2. Strategy Planning & Development — shaping our direction, building a clear roadmap, driving momentum.
3. Service / Programme Development & Set‑Up — designing and launching community activities that reduce loneliness.
4. Previous Trustee Experience — confident governance, oversight and board leadership.
5. UK Accounting / Finance (ideally Charity Accounts) — managing charity finances, Gift Aid, reporting, compliance and supporting financial governance.
6. Adult Social Services / Social Work / Community Engagement — understanding adult loneliness, community needs, service pathways and how to build meaningful, accessible programmes.

If you can lead in any of these areas, SUNSHINE needs your light.

What You’ll Do

As a Trustee of SUNSHINE Charity, you will:

1. Provide strategic leadership during our crucial start‑up phase.
2. Help design and launch our first programmes across London.
3. Drive fundraising, grant applications and financial sustainability.
4. Strengthen governance, accountability and board performance.
5. Bring energy, positivity and a proactive mindset to every meeting.
6. Help build a charity that brings human connection to thousands of adults.

This is a role for people who take action, not just attend meetings.

Why Join SUNSHINE?

• Be part of a joyful, human, community‑powered movement.
• Use your skills to tackle loneliness — one of London’s biggest social challenges.
• Shape a charity with huge heart and huge potential.
• Work closely with a passionate Founder and a developing board.
• Make a meaningful difference to people who feel isolated and forgotten.

SUNSHINE is ready to launch — we just need the right leaders to help us shine.

Time Commitment

We keep things simple and manageable:

1. Board meetings: Monthly, in London
2. Light involvement between meetings
3. Additional time during the initial set‑up phase

This is a role for someone who wants to make a real impact without an overwhelming time burden.

Ready to Bring Your Light to SUNSHINE?

If you’re a proactive, passionate, London‑based leader with experience in fundraising, strategy, programme development, governance, finance or adult social services — we’d love to hear from you.

Join the SUNSHINE movement.

Help us bring connection, community and belonging to London.

Come shine with us.
