In addition to this, by providing a temporary loving environment, you will play a crucial role in a cat’s wellbeing and socialisation, which will significantly improve their chances of successful rehoming.

Once everything is in place, the animal centre will guide you through the fostering process and ensure that you have all the necessary equipment, food, and veterinary care for your fostered cat. The RSPCA is also happy to reimburse any other pre-agreed expenses that you may incur through volunteering for us.

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

We're seeking a volunteer who can take up the challenge of being our first ever Project Manager at URBAN YOUTH. A brand new youth work organisation in London.

Who Are We?

We're setting up a new youth project in London called Urban Youth. Our aim is to create a positive community for young people, offering a number of activities and programmes that forge connections by getting young people together and away from their phones and social media. We want them to actively take part in fun and engaging interactive activities that create memories, boost confidence and resilience, and teach key skills for life – skills that young people can take with them into adulthood, helping to build their future.

Why We Are Doing This?

In a city grappling with the cost of living crisis, rising crime rates, and pervasive worry, it's easy to feel helpless. London is a city of dreams, but for many young people, it can also present unique challenges. Access to positive spaces, mentorship, and opportunities to develop crucial life skills can be limited. We saw a need for a fresh, vibrant approach to youth work – a place where young voices are heard, and potential is unleashed.

Can You Help Us Achieve This?

We need a dedicated and experienced volunteer to join us as our Project Manager. This pivotal role will lead the entire setup and operational running of Urban Youth, transforming our vision into a tangible, thriving youth project. You'll be instrumental in bringing our programmes to life, ensuring everything runs smoothly from concept to delivery.

We know you're busy. We know you have choices. So, why dedicate your precious time to Urban Youth in this crucial role? Because this isn't just volunteering; it's an unparalleled opportunity to:

• Lead from the Front: You'll be the driving force behind Urban Youth, responsible for planning, executing, and overseeing all aspects of our project's launch and ongoing activities.

• Build Something from the Ground Up: Take ownership of shaping our operational framework, implementing systems, and ensuring our activities are delivered effectively and safely for young people.

• Apply Your Project Management Prowess: Utilise your expertise in project planning, resource allocation, risk management, and stakeholder coordination within a dynamic, impactful setting.

• Be a Strategic Operator: Work closely with our management committee and volunteer coordinator to ensure our programmes align with our mission and deliver maximum benefit to young Londoners.

• Experience Unrivalled Satisfaction: Feel the profound satisfaction of knowing your leadership directly creates a positive impact on the lives of young people, fostering their growth and potential.

• Join a Dynamic Community: Become part of a passionate, supportive, and fun-loving team of like-minded individuals. Forge new friendships and find your own sense of belonging.

We Need You!

If you have a proven track record in project management, a keen eye for detail, the ability to manage multiple priorities, and a passion for youth empowerment, then we would love to have you join us in this exciting adventure. We're seeking someone with enthusiasm, a willingness to get hands-on, and a desire to help a new charity get set up and thrive, ultimately shaping and changing young people's lives.

Ready to Ignite Young People's Future by Leading Our Project?

This is your chance to be part of something extraordinary. To turn worry into hope, isolation into connection, and potential into reality, by directly leading the charge in bringing Urban Youth to life.

Don't just watch Young People's future unfold. Help build it!
