International Aid for the Protection & Welfare of Animals (IAPWA) is a UK registered charity founded to create a better future for animals in need. What began as a desire to help one dog in the rainforests of Borneo in 2009 has since developed into a range of projects and support programmes that has supported over 41,000 animals around the world.
IAPWA's Individual Giving team work hard to raise one-off donations from animal lovers to fund our general work, as well as to help individual dogs and cats in need of urgent veterinary care after being rescued from the streets.
The team are now seeking Fundraising Volunteers to take the lead on maximising income from our individual patient appeals (usually ran via JustGiving) by going out into their networks and asking people to donate, as well as seeking new audiences (online and offline) to boost donations. Each month you will focus on helping one individual animal who has been rescued from the streets, meaning your efforts will contribute to this animal getting the veterinary treatment and support they desperately need to have a bright future.
What we're looking for:
You don't need to have any prior fundraising experience. In fact, you may be wanting to break into the charity sector, or just have a desire to help animals. Either way, all you need to succeed in this role is grit and determination, plus a passion for helping stray animals who have nobody else to rely on. The more donations your appeal receives, the more good it can do. It's as simple as that.
If this sounds like the volunteer role for you, please get in touch with Rebecca, Head of Individual Giving at IAPWA, today by clicking the 'How to Apply' button. Thank you.

Web Editor Volunteer Role Description
Are you passionate about changing the way we treat animals? Do you want to help reduce damage to our environment? Do you want to get people to enjoy healthy vegan food that looks good and tastes great?
The Vegan Society makes veganism more accessible and an easily adopted approach by supporting individuals, policy and decision makers, caterers, manufacturers, health care professionals and the media.
Why do we need you?
Our website covers a huge range of topics, aimed to support people in becoming, and staying, vegan. Keeping all of these up to date takes a lot of hours and many hands, especially when it comes to pages that need regular updates involving sourcing and editing images, improving accessibility, and updating content.
What does the role involve?
The role will involve a variety of different tasks in updating the website such as:
- Assisting the web team with content migration for the society’s new website.
- Adding and updating the events page, which will include editing images and proofreading content for the page.
- Reviewing and fixing pages with broken links.
- Publishing and updating recipes on our recipes page.
- Supporting with accessibility improvements to the site such as adding alt tags to images.
- Undertaking search engine optimisation tasks, such as identifying key search terms and popular pages we could develop.
- More advanced web editing and development tasks may be offered to volunteers depending on their skillset and level of experience.
We expect that tasks will be assigned based on your experience and confidence in the area, with full support from the Web Officer. This would all happen in software we provide. Our website CMS currently is Drupal; however, we will be moving over to Umbraco soon, so you would become familiar with this.
What training and development is available?
Each task will be introduced in a phased way, with a full induction and training session on each area. We will provide training for specific areas, based on your existing experience. There are opportunities for all our roles to develop and to take on more responsibility.
What skills would be useful in doing this role?
- Familiarity with content management systems such as WordPress, Drupal or Umbraco would be an ideal foundation for this role.
- Experience with web editing.
- Ability to use digital systems and processes.
- Knowledge and experience of image editing to specific dimensions.
- Ability to work independently.
- Willingness to learn and develop in the role.
What does my availability have to be?
This role will require four to six hours a week. For the first month of volunteering, you will need to commit to these hours between 9:am-5:pm (GMT) so that staff support is directly available to you. After this we will have a review and, if you are comfortable, your hours can be completed more flexibly around your schedule. To keep up contact with staff and help you to manage your tasks, we will schedule a weekly check-in video call with you during weeks that you are volunteering for us.
Who can I contact to find out more?
You can contact Kaya (Senior Volunteering and Engagement Officer) and Emma (Web Officer).
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
