Volunteer Animal Fosterer (RSPCA North West London and South Hertfordshire Branch)

As an animal fosterer, you would be supporting our Branch in providing either our cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, or other small furries with the safety of your home whilst tending to their welfare needs such as feeding and grooming. In addition to this, by providing a temporary loving environment, you will play a crucial role in their wellbeing and socialisation, which will significantly improve their chances of successful rehoming.

We will guide you through the fostering process and ensure that you have all the necessary equipment, food, and veterinary care for your foster. We are also happy to reimburse any other pre-agreed expenses that you may incur through volunteering for us.

Whilst our animals are in your foster care, you will:

• Provide them with care, suitable housing, and a safe environment as per our policies and guidelines.
• Feed, water, and groom them in line with our advice.
• Transport them to any veterinary appointments if required.
• Provide them with your time and patience.
• Help us spread the word about the animals in your care so they might find their forever home quicker.
• Playing and cuddles are also a must! 

What we are looking for in a volunteer Fosterer

• Volunteers aged 18 or over who have had plenty of experience caring for animals.
• Fostering experience is beneficial but not essential as training is provided.
• For their wellbeing, the whole family should be on board with fostering an animal.
• Any existing pets or animals need to have been spayed/neutered (some medical reasons may mean they cannot be so, please let us know if this is the case).
• You will need to live in our branches area (see attached map)
• You will need to be able to pick up supplies from our office in Eastcote and transport animals to the vets for routine and emergency appointments. 

What we can offer you as a volunteer Fosterer

• You will be making a massive difference to the welfare of the animals in your care.
• Join a community which will enable you to meet new people and make new friends.
• Learning new skills through our comprehensive induction and fostering training programme.
• Enhance your CV by adding your volunteering experience.

It is worth mentioning that our animals do have different needs as whilst some are ready for rehoming others may require rehabilitation or ongoing medication. Therefore, we also aim to understand your situation and circumstances to ensure that we match you with your perfect foster animal.

We hope you are interested in volunteering for our Branch.

Our voluntary roles are subject to an informal interview and trial period. We will ask you to provide contact details for two referees, and, depending on the position, you may need to sign an agreement and complete specific training before starting the role.

Length of Placement: 2 months minimum, with opportunity to extend

About Our Time
Our Time is the only UK charity dedicated to improving the lives of children growing up with a parent who has a mental illness.

Around 4 million children in the UK are affected, yet there is still no dedicated national support for this group. For over 20 years, Our Time has been making sure these children aren’t overlooked. We work across a child’s whole support network, offering training for professionals, resources for schools, and safe, welcoming spaces for families through our unique KidsTime Workshops.

Our mission is to break the cycle of intergenerational mental ill health by supporting and empowering children to live confident, connected, and emotionally healthy lives. We’re a small team with a big mission, and we’re always looking for passionate people and partners to help us reach more children and families.

About the “I Wish” campaign
Launching in September 2026 and running through to Mental Health Awareness Week 2027, “I Wish” is an ambitious awareness raising campaign. People with lived experience of parental mental illness share, in their own handwriting, in their own words, the one thing they wish an adult had known, asked, or done. The photograph series creates a powerful visual campaign that calls professionals to act and invites everyone to listen.

The campaign aims to:
• Reach new audiences and reduce stigma around parental mental illness
• Drive teachers and education professionals to sign up to Our Time’s training and school support services
• Build a cohort of committed schools across the academic year
• Generate national and education press coverage using compelling human stories backed by statistics
• Engage the wider public, supporters and donors

The role
We are looking for a PR-savvy volunteer to support around media outreach for the I Wish campaign launch. Working closely with Our Time’s Communications Lead, you will help us get this campaign in front of the journalists and editors who can amplify it; from education press to national human interest desks.

This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role. The campaign has a clear press release angle, strong statistics, and compelling human stories ready to go. We need someone to help us pitch them effectively.

What you’ll be doing
Building the media database
• Research and compile a tailored media list covering our priority target outlets: education press (TES, SecEd, Schools Week, Headteacher Update), national titles (Guardian Education, BBC, i paper), parenting media (Mumsnet, Netmums, Mother & Baby), mental health charity sector press, and relevant regional outlets
• Identify the right individual contacts (journalists, editors, and news desks) for each outlet and audience
• Maintain and organise the database so it is clear, up to date, and easy for the team to use going forward
• Access to Cision, Vuelio, or a similar media database is a significant advantage for this part of the role

Preparing pitches
• Working with the Communications Lead, develop tailored pitch angles for different outlets and audiences. For example, a data-led pitch for education press versus a human-interest pitch for national titles or parenting media
• Draft pitch emails and follow-up copy that is concise, compelling, and campaignready
• Help prepare supporting materials including ambassador story profiles and key statistics for journalists

Pitching and follow-up
• Send pitches to target journalists and editors, ahead of the campaign embargo lift (approx. 1–5 September 2026)
• Manage follow-up contact in a timely and professional way
• Track responses and coverage, flagging interest and opportunities to the Communications Lead
• Support any requests for interviews or additional information from media contacts

Who we’re looking for
We’d love to hear from you if you have:
• Experience in PR, journalism, communications, or a related field; agency, in-house, or freelance all welcome
• A good working knowledge of the UK media landscape, particularly education, national, and/or charity sector press
• Strong written communication skills and confidence drafting pitches and press materials
• A systematic, organised approach to building and maintaining media lists
• Access to Cision, Vuelio, or a similar media intelligence tool (desirable but not essential, we can work together on this if not)
• An interest in mental health, children’s wellbeing, education, or the charity sector
• Availability from August 2026, with the ability to commit through to October 2026

You don’t need to have volunteered for a charity before. What matters most is your PR instinct, your ability to craft a pitch, and your willingness to get stuck in.

What you’ll get in return
• The chance to work on a powerful campaign with real social impact
• Hands-on experience working with a small, dedicated charity team
• A named credit and reference on request
• Flexibility to fit the role around your existing commitments
• The knowledge that your work directly helps more children of parents with mental illness feel seen and supported

Time commitment
We’re asking for up to one day per week across August and September 2026, with the possibility of lighter-touch support continuing through to Mental Health Awareness Week in May 2027. That said, we know schedules vary, if you have more or less time available, but are keen to get involved, we'd love to chat. We’re happy to be flexible and work around what’s realistic for you

How to apply
Please get in touch with a brief note about your background and why this role appeals to you. We’d also love to hear if you have access to any media database tools. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. We hope to have someone in place by late July / early August 2026.

• Reliability and people who are prepared to make a commitment to volunteering
• Confident in talking to the public
• Able to work in a team of staff and volunteers
• Keen to give our visitors a first class experience

Help Build the Engine Behind MINDSET Charity

Poor mental health can affect anyone — but men and boys are often less likely to talk about how they feel. Many carry their struggles quietly, without the support, tools or safe spaces they need to grow.

MINDSET Charity is being built to change that.

We’re a London‑based start‑up charity in our concept and set‑up stage, creating a movement that empowers men and boys to develop stronger mindsets, healthier habits and positive futures through action‑based wellbeing. No therapy. Just growth, reflection and real‑world tools that help men become the best version of themselves.

To turn this vision into reality, we’re recruiting an Operations Director (Volunteer) to join our Senior Leadership Team — someone who can help us build the operational foundations, systems and processes that will make MINDSET Charity a success.

This is your chance to shape the operational heartbeat of a charity before it launches.

What You’ll Lead

As Operations Director, you’ll play a key role in:

• Designing and developing our early operational systems

• Creating structure, processes and workflows that support growth

• Helping prepare MINDSET for Trustee recruitment and formal governance

• Supporting programme development and operational delivery

• Coordinating teams, volunteers and early-stage projects

• Building partnerships, networks and community connections

• Ensuring MINDSET is ready to launch with clarity, efficiency and impact

If you have connections in London, that’s a huge advantage — but passion, organisation and belief in our mission matter most.

Who We’re Looking For

Someone who:

• Has experience in operations, project management or organisational development

• Thrives in start‑up environments and enjoys building structure from scratch

• Can think strategically while managing practical day‑to‑day needs

• Communicates clearly, confidently and compassionately

• Believes deeply in men’s mental health and positive male role models

• Can give at least 4 hours per week (more if possible)

• Wants to help create a charity that will genuinely change lives

You don’t need charity sector experience — just initiative, leadership and a desire to make a meaningful impact.

Why Join Us?

1. Because this is more than a role — it’s a chance to help build a charity that will support men and boys for years to come.
2. Because your operational leadership will shape our future, our programmes and our impact.
3. Because you’ll be part of a movement that empowers men to grow, reflect and thrive.

• This is purpose.
• This is leadership.
• This is the beginning of something powerful — and we’d love you to help build it.

Apply now and help us build MINDSET Charity — one mindset, one action, one future at a time.
