Make a Lasting Impact on Animal Welfare
Margaret Green Animal Rescue (MGAR) is Dorset’s oldest and largest animal welfare charity, with rescue and rehoming centres across Dorset and Devon. We’re dedicated to providing the highest standards of care to unwanted, abandoned, and mistreated animals — and we’re now seeking a marketing and fundraising professional to join our Board of Trustees.
As we enter an exciting phase of strategic revitalisation, your specialist knowledge will help shape the future of our charity and ensure the animals we care for receive the very best support by optimising our marketing and fundraising activity, which is essential in funding this activity.
Why We Need You
We aim to have a range of professional backgrounds on our Board to ensure a robust and rounded experience in the Board room, as well as enabling us to support the CEO and Leadership team. We are looking to find a new Trustee with expertise in the marketing and fundraising arena who will support the Board and our marketing team in the following areas:
- Strategic input as we enter a period of significant transformation for the Charity
- Provide specialist challenge and support to the CEO and fundraising team, offering informed oversight on campaigns, investment decisions, and risk, ensuring the Board can govern income generation with confidence.
- Strengthen MGAR’s long‑term financial resilience by guiding the development of diverse, sustainable income streams and ensuring fundraising decisions are strategic, evidence‑based, and aligned with organisational priorities.
- Elevate MGAR’s public profile through sharper messaging, stronger brand visibility, and more impactful storytelling that deepens public understanding of the charity’s mission and increases supporter engagement.
- Grow and nurture MGAR’s supporter community by ensuring we shape emotionally resonant campaigns, improve donor journeys, and help build long‑term relationships with individuals, partners, and local businesses.
- Enhance the Board’s overall capability by filling a critical skills gap, ensuring MGAR remains agile, relevant, and financially secure in a competitive and rapidly evolving charity landscape.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Attending Board meetings (6 per year, in Dorset/Devon) and occasional online sessions
- Contributing 1–2 days per month to strategic planning and oversight
- Championing best practices in marketing and fundraising
- Supporting the charity’s mission to find forever homes for animals in need
What You’ll Gain
- A meaningful opportunity to imake a real difference to animal welfare at scale
- A chance to work alongside passionate professionals and fellow Trustees
- The satisfaction of helping vulnerable animals live healthier, happier lives
Who Should Apply
We welcome applications from marketing and fundraising professionals who share our passion for animal welfare. Living within an hour of our Wareham site is ideal, but not essential.

Job description
VOLUNTEER!
Ready to help steer a brand‑new movement? Become a Trustee at MINDSET
MINDSET isn’t a traditional charity. We’re a start‑up movement reshaping men’s mental wellbeing across England and Wales — ditching the waiting rooms, the stigma, and the “one‑size‑fits‑all” approach. We’re building something new, something bold, and something that actually works for the communities we serve.
Now we’re looking for a volunteer Trustee to join our current board who want to help shape that future.
We are especially and particularly keen to welcome people from a range of diverse backgrounds, including people from BAME communities, women as well as men and women from the LGBT+ community, to ensure our Board truly reflects the communities of England and Wales.
The Role: Trustee
As a Trustee, you’ll sit at the heart of MINDSET’s mission. You’ll help guide our strategy, strengthen our governance, and ensure we deliver real, measurable impact for men across the country.
This is a volunteer leadership role for someone who cares deeply about mental wellbeing, social change, and building something meaningful from the ground up.
Your Mission
1. Shape the Vision
Help define the strategic direction of a start‑up charity determined to transform men’s mental fitness and personal growth.
2. Strengthen the Foundations
Ensure we operate with integrity, transparency, and strong governance as we grow from an idea into a national movement.
3. Champion Inclusion
Bring your lived experience, your community insight, and your voice to a Board committed to representing the full diversity of England and Wales.
4. Drive Impact
Support the development of innovative services, campaigns, and partnerships that challenge stigma and create real change.
5. Hold the Mission True
Make sure everything we do is high‑quality, ethical, sustainable, and aligned with our values.
The Vibe
We’re informal, direct, and positive. We value creativity, honesty, and people who get things done. As a Trustee, you’ll have space to lead, freedom to shape the organisation, and the chance to build a legacy with a movement that’s only just beginning.
Sound like you
If you’re passionate about mental wellbeing, committed to inclusion, and excited by the idea of helping build a new national charity from scratch, we’d love to hear from you.
Bring your voice. Bring your experience. Bring your leadership.
Join the MINDSET mission.

Job description
Fundraising volunteers wanted to help East London Waterworks Park reach its funding goals
East London Waterworks Park is working to acquire a 14-acre, concreted-over depot on the border of Waltham Forest and Hackney, and to transform it into a ‘brownfield rainforest’ with wild-swimming pools and creative learning spaces for the local community. We are showcasing an environment-first, community-led approach to land ownership that will help nature and people thrive together, revolutionising the way we think about green and blue spaces in cities.
Our Crowdfunder raised over half a million pounds towards buying the land, but we are waiting for the landowner to make decisions about the use of the site. Whilst we wait, we need to raise money for the other work we are carrying out. We have an exciting programme of community projects and work coming up, including carrying out biodiverse transformations on other sites in London.
If you have experience of planning or running fundraising campaigns and would like to get involved with a local charity, we would love to hear from you. Perhaps you are buzzing with ideas of how to raise money or are keen to get stuck in and help to make some events happen. Maybe you are a good writer and seller of ideas and would like to join our mini team of funding bid writers. We would especially love to hear from you if you have experience of writing funding applications.
If you are a professional fundraiser and would like to help but are short on time, we would still love for you to get in touch. Even if you are unable to get deeply involved, we would appreciate one-off or ongoing advice.
We hope that people bring radical imagination, peace with nature and courageous inclusiveness to the role.
We meet once a fortnight online on a Thursday evening
