We desperately need people to help our animals - RSPCA needs Lancastrians for new job roles
The RSPCA are on the lookout for skilled and passionate Lancastrians to fill a ‘general trustee’ role or a ‘secretary trustee’ role within the Preston branch.
They desperately need individuals who can contribute their time to attend meetings, make a difference and influence positive change.
This is an exciting opportunity to be a hands-on trustee at branch level, helping to promote kindness and prevent animal cruelty, reach out to more supporters, and influence how we do things. With your support and expertise, we will achieve so much!
They are looking for an enthusiastic and passionate person who could devote the time to volunteer with us as one of our Trustees.
As a Trustee of the Branch, you will have the chance to influence how we care for and prevent cruelty to animals and drive the implementation of key initiatives.
You will serve on the governing body of the charity and be instrumental in the running of the Branch and setting out both the short and long terms aims.
As a minimum, trustees are expected to attend a monthly committee meeting lasting some two to three hours. However, the commitment will vary as they will play an active role supporting branch activities.
