Volunteer volunteer roles in Europe
Could you become one of our Trustees to help guide our work?
World Horse Welfare’s volunteers help our work in many different ways, from lending a hand at one of our farms to joining our Council of Trustees. This elected group of professionals is responsible for the overall governance and strategy of our charity and, to do this effectively, our Council includes people with diverse areas of expertise, interests and backgrounds. In return for their time and knowledge, Trustees enjoy the opportunity to use and build their skills, attend a range of special events, become part of an outstanding network, and influence the direction of our charity.
We currently have two vacancies – for a practicing equine veterinary surgeon and for someone with significant experience in one or more of the following areas: fundraising, cybersecurity and data management (where equine experience would be a bonus, but you only need an empathy with our aims and an interest in helping to guide our work). We take pride in our values of being realistic in our approach, compassionate in our attitudes, and forward-thinking in anticipating challenge. The successful person will be expected to share these values.
The charity embraces a diversity of perspectives to inform our day-to-day work, and for this to be reflected in the membership of our Council. We encourage expressions of interest from currently under-represented groups, including people from a broad age range, LGBTQ+, ethnically diverse communities and people with disabilities.
World Horse Welfare’s vision is a world where every horse is treated with respect, compassion and understanding.

Background to the charity
Sevenoaks Welcomes Refugees is a local charity formed in March 2017. We are a small and growing charity, whose volunteers and supporters have come together to welcome and help support the refugees who have fled the fighting and persecution in Syria, Afghanistan and Ukraine, and are now resettling in our community.
Starting with just one refugee family, we have expanded our efforts over the years and are proud to have supported about 50 families as they settle and rebuild their lives in our community.
Purpose of Role:
Would you like to make a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of refugee families as they settle into life in Britain—supporting them to achieve independence and integrate confidently into their new communities?
As Deputy Volunteer Lead, you will be an integral part of the SWR Voluntary Leadership Team (VLT), which oversees both our core services for refugees and the coordination and welfare of our valued volunteers.
Our work spans general support with settling in, integration, building independence, language learning, educational guidance, and assistance in accessing suitable employment. You will work closely with the Volunteer Lead on the VLT, with a particular focus on the general support function.

Key Responsibilities: ● Act as a bridge between the lead volunteers and central SWR services to source the equipment and help needed by the families. ● See over the welfare and requirements of the families which will change incrementally over time. The level of support should gradually diminish as the families become more independent. ● Liaise with local government support workers where families are still receiving support from them. ● Help establish and monitor the family Path to Independence Plans. ● Liaise with Education, Language and Employment specialities. ● Keep the VLT and Volunteer Lead up to date as needed.
Skills & Qualities Needed

● compassionate, patient, and non-judgmental
● good at communication
● organized with good attention to detail.
● flexible and adaptable to different family needs and cultural backgrounds.
● reasonably IT literate
It would help if you had an employment background of teaching, social services or other service related charities - BUT it is not essential.
Support & Training Provided
All SWR volunteers are expected to complete an induction, including mandatory safeguarding training. We also provide training on cultural awareness to help volunteers support families sensitively and effectively.
We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and encourage you to highlight any specific adjustments that would enable you to participate fully in the recruitment process.

“Help us get where we want to go… and be part of our journey.”
A Message From the People We Support
“We’re looking for Volunteer Drivers who will help us get out into our community, enjoy activities, make appointments, meet friends, and live the lives we choose.
Sometimes we just need someone kind, reliable, and friendly to help us get from A to B — so we can do the things that matter to us.”
Your time, even a little, helps us stay connected, independent and included.
What You’ll Do — From Our Perspective
As a Volunteer Driver, you will help us to:
- Travel safely to activities, appointments, events, and days out
- Feel comfortable and supported during journeys
- Stay independent by helping us access places that are important to us
- Experience new things and take part in opportunities we enjoy
You might drive your own car or one of our David Lewis vehicles — whatever works best for you.
What We’ll Provide to Support You
“You don’t need to know everything — just be willing to help and show up with a smile.”
You’ll receive:
- Full induction and ongoing support
- Out‑of‑pocket expenses covered
- Access to our vehicle fleet if you prefer not to use your own
- A friendly, helpful team around you
- The chance to make a meaningful difference in our everyday lives
Who We’re Hoping to Meet
We’re looking for someone who:
- Has a full, clean driving licence
- Is reliable, calm, and a good communicator
- Treats people with kindness, patience, and respect
- Is happy to complete the necessary checks and training
If that sounds like you, we’d love to have you on our journeys.
Why Volunteering With Us Matters

Your time helps us:
- Reach our personal goals
- Feel confident travelling
- Stay active in our community
- Enjoy richer, more meaningful experiences
Every journey you support makes a difference.
