Like many local RSPCA branches, we rely heavily on volunteers, donations and fundraising to continue supporting animals in need.
About the Role
As Branch Treasurer, you will provide strategic financial oversight and help ensure the Branch remains financially sustainable, well-governed and compliant with charity finance requirements.

- Monitor budgets and financial performance
- Review financial controls, governance and compliance
- Provide financial insight and assurance to the trustee board

- A passion for animal welfare
- Previous charity finance experience would be beneficial but is not essential.
- A recognised financial qualification (such as ACA, ACCA or CIMA) would be advantageous, though not required.
Time Commitment
- Monthly trustee meetings (typically 2–3 hours)
- Some additional flexible volunteer time between meetings
What You’ll Gain
- The opportunity to make a direct impact on local animal welfare
- Valuable charity governance and leadership experience
- Trustee training and ongoing support from the RSPCA

- References and trustee eligibility checks are required
Interested?
This is an opportunity to play a vital role in supporting local animal welfare while helping guide the financial sustainability and governance of a respected and much-loved local charity.

Over the past decade, The Daily Mile Foundation (TDMF) has grown into one of the most successful school-based physical activity initiatives for children globally, helping millions of young people experience the transformational benefits of moving more every day. We are entering an exciting new chapter following the recent decision for TDMF to become part of the London Marathon Foundation – one that brings together two charities with a shared commitment to improving children’s health and wellbeing across the UK and beyond.
As part of the new structure, TDMF will operate as an independent charity within the London Marathon Foundation, with its own dedicated Board of Trustees providing strategic leadership, oversight and support. Working closely with the London Marathon Foundation’s Board, TDMF Trustees will help shape the next phase of the charity’s growth, ensuring The Daily Mile continues to thrive in schools and communities, reaches even more children, and contributes to the wider group strategy and shared mission.
TDMF’s work is rooted in a simple but powerful idea: daily physical activity can change children’s lives. The programme is now delivered in thousands of schools, supported by teachers, local authorities, health partners and national bodies. As we expand our reach and impact, Trustees will play a vital role in safeguarding the integrity of The Daily Mile, strengthening partnerships, building capacity, and ensuring our work continues to benefit the children and communities who need it most.
With the London Marathon Foundation’s long-standing experience in grant making and community impact and TDMF’s proven model for inspiring activity in schools – this new structure creates a unique opportunity to accelerate change. Trustees will help guide how TDMF evolves within the London Marathon Foundation and aligns with its mission, while championing the distinct identity, values and ambitions of The Daily Mile.
The Role
We are looking for three new Trustees with experience in areas such as:
- Charitable and Educational - systems knowledge, government structures, broader education landscape;
- Children’s & Young Peoples health expertise; physical and mental health advocacy, or child psychology;
- Charity fundraising and capacity building.
TDMF is interested in candidates who bring relevant lived or professional experience of the issues of disadvantage; a broad understanding of the charitable sector and its key issues; experience of working with and/or on Boards. Trustees should be able to commit around 8 days per year, comprised of half day board meetings, ideally attend in person at our offices near London Bridge, preparation for board meetings, and optional attendance at events that are delivered by TDMF and London Marathon Events, including the TCS Mini London Marathon.
If you are interested in making a difference to inspire activity and can contribute strategically on a wide range of issues and demonstrate empathy with the aims and objectives of TDMF and London Marathon Foundation, please see further information via our websites:

London Marathon Foundation | London Marathon Foundation
These are non-remunerated roles, however we will pay any reasonable expenses in order to support attendance at Board meetings for example, travel, travelling on trustee business, and providing childcare or care of other dependants while attending to trustee business.
Our belief, as supported by our Vision and Mission is that Activity is for everyone, and our aim is to connect people and communities through experiences that change lives. TDMF is committed to achieving greater diversity on its Board, and welcomes applications regardless of sex, gender, race, religion or belief, age, sexuality or disability, or any other factor which is not objectively justified.

Our volunteers assist us in many ways, such as accepting and sorting items donated by the public, preparing items ready for sale, processing sales through the till, assisting customers with queries, and helping to merchandise the shop floor.
Who are we looking for?
We’re currently looking for people aged 18 or over who are friendly, team players, are comfortable communicating with colleagues, customers and donors, and who can make a regular commitment of at least one 3-hour per shift per week for a minimum of six months. Retail experience is not essential.
In return, we can offer the chance to develop or learn new skills, a way to meet new people in your local area, and the satisfaction of making a huge difference to the lives of animals in your local community!
If you’ve got the drive and compassion to volunteer with the RSPCA and are passionate about improving animal welfare, we’d love to hear from you!
We hope you are interested in volunteering for the RSPCA North West London and South Hertfordshire Branch.
Join us in making a real difference to the lives of animals in need
Our voluntary roles are subject to an informal interview and trial period. We will ask you to provide contact details for two referees, and dependent on the position, you may need to sign an agreement and undergo specific training before starting the role.
