Operations Volunteer Roles
Expression of Interest to become a World Horse Welfare Trustee
Volunteering for World Horse Welfare comes in many different forms, from lending a hand at one of our farms, to providing administrative support at our Head Office.
Another way individuals can provide voluntary support is by joining our Council of Trustees – an elected group of professionals responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of our charity. Trustees are not expected to take part in the day-to-day running of the organisation, but as a group they are responsible for its general control and are required to act in its best interests. To do this effectively, our Council includes representatives with various areas of expertise and from different backgrounds.
In return for their time and knowledge, Trustees enjoy the opportunity to use and build their skills, influence the direction of the charity, attend a range of special events and become part of a diverse and friendly network.
We are an international charity whose values are grounded in pragmatism and compassion that strives to support and improve the horse-human partnership in all of its guises. Our mission is to work with horses, horse owners, communities, organisations and governments to improve welfare standards and stamp out suffering in the UK and worldwide. To find out more about our work please visit our website
We currently have three vacancies with the following required experience:
1. Strategic marketing and commercial
2. Political/Government
3. Top-level equestrian sport
With the exception of equestrian sport, an experience of equines, whilst a bonus, is not required; you only need an empathy with our aims and an interest in helping to guide our work.
World Horse Welfare embraces a diversity of perspectives to inform our day-to-day work, something which we would also like to see reflected in 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 disabled people.
Closing date: Friday 26th April 2024.
If you have relevant experience and would like to express an interest in becoming a Trustee, then please email a covering letter and your CV to Fiona Abel.

If you are passionate about helping the community, tackling food poverty and reducing food waste we would like to hear from you.
About the role:
We have an agreement with our local Aldi where we will collect the food & household items that they cannot sell on a daily basis. – This can be damaged items or packs with an item missing, or excess stock that is close to its best before date - we can split them into individual items/portions to help feed families.
The volunteer will collect the items and sort and place them on our collection table to be shared for those who are struggling to put a meal on their table.
We also have a donation basket at the local Aldi which enables shoppers to buy an extra item to donate to our cause.
We do the collection Monday – Saturday so ideally we would like to split this role between 3 or 4 volunteers who can commit to agreed shifts. Approx 1 hour per day, anytime between 10am & 12:30pm

Have a non-Judgemental attitude and have an understanding of others needs and are able to demonstrate empathy to those who are relying on food donations.
Good time keeping - It is important that you are punctual and reliable as if we can’t collect food we have nothing to put on our collection table for that day. Report any absence to the relevent member of staff as soon as possible.
Enthusiastic about supporting families in the local community.
Good organisational skills would be useful for this role.
You will be required to complete some basic mandatory training which is accessed via our online training platform, you can complete this in our I.T suite if you wish.
Are able to follow direction and adhere to our policies and procedures.
We ask that you can commit to a minimum of 3 months Volunteering.

Travel expenses – A Day Rider bus pass is provided to those using public transport. (We ask that anyone applying for the position lives within a reasonable distance of Fallowfield due to funding limitations.)
If using your own vehicle you will be reimbursed milage including to and from Aldi if you choose to use your car for the collection.

Actively Interviewing
This organisation is scheduling interviews as the applications come in. Don’t miss your opportunity, apply now!
Citizens Advice Exeter and Citizens Advice Torbay are separate and independent charities, with separate Boards of Trustees. For efficiency reasons we share senior staff and have many shared administration functions. We are both looking for new Trustees.
The advice and assistance we give to people helps them to resolve their problems, providing life-changing outcomes. We also work hard both locally and nationally to use the knowledge we get from our clients to influence policy makers and legislation.
Do you want to join an organisation that:
¨ Wants to help the community and change things for the better?
¨ Wants to make sure everyone gets the advice and support they need?
¨ Is committed to valuing diversity and promoting equality?
If so:
¨ Do you have the appropriate skills, and the time?
¨ Do you want to get involved in running influential and important local charities?
Both Charities are currently looking to recruit at least two Trustees
Citizens Advice Exeter is also looking to recruit:
- A Vice-Chair Resources to, initially, chair the Resources Committee with a view to becoming the Chair in the next 12 months on the retirement of our current Chair, who has been in post for 20 years.
Citizens Advice Torbay is also looking to recruit:
· A new Treasurer to replace the existing incumbent, who leaves at the end of May 2024, who has been in post for 3 years.
People from all backgrounds are welcome to apply. We actively encourage applicants from minority groups.
Both charities would prefer applicants to be resident close to the EX postcode (for Exeter) and TQ postcode (for Torbay), or to have a good awareness of the local social issues.
You must be able to attend at least eight evening meetings a year (CA Exeter), or at least six meetings a year (CA Torbay). You will need to undertake appropriate training, to keep yourself briefed on current issues, and to think strategically to help drive the Charities to achieve their long-term objectives.
In return, you will benefit by
· Joining a family of paid staff, volunteers and fellow trustees who all work together to provide an excellent quality of service to our clients
· The pleasure of using your skills and experience to help others
· developing new skills and learning from your fellow trustees
· gaining the satisfaction of giving back to your community.
