Social Anxiety Alliance UK is a young and developing charity looking for an experienced Trustee.
It may be possible for someone with a dedication and passion for helping those with social anxiety could also apply for the role but such a Trustee would need to be fully aware of the governance issues relating to such a role (please read the charity commission document "The essential trustee")
Social anxiety involves an excessive fear of social situations. Sufferers will often fear being embarrassed or worry about being negatively evaluated by others. Anticipatory anxiety and situational avoidance are common, and individuals may endure social situations with a high level of discomfort. The scope of the anxiety may be focused on specific types of social situations or generalised to almost any social encounter.
We are the first UK charity dedicated to Social Anxiety.

· To ensure that the charity uses its resources exclusively to further its objects.
· To contribute towards setting the charity’s strategic direction and to evaluate performance and progress against agreed targets.
· To uphold the reputation and values of the charity.
· To commit to read papers in preparation for meetings and attend regular board meetings.
What we are looking for

What difference will you make
As part of our board, you will help to support and develop the charity and set its strategic direction. You will have the opportunity to offer your unique skill set, experience and enthusiasm to help us to achieve the charity’s mission:
To foster a society in which social anxiety is widely understood, where there is easy access to appropriate information, support and treatment so that no one has to face social anxiety alone.
Board meetings and projects
We are a friendly board and we hold our meetings monthly online in the evening, typically on a Tuesday at 7pm to 8:30pm.
Please note, we are a young charity and are all volunteers. We would hope that Trustees can contribute to other charity tasks and projects as need arise.

Volunteer role - Cat Fosterer
Volunteer manager - Volunteer Coordinator
Where you will be based - Home
Why we want you:
We are the RSPCA and it's our vision to live in a world where all animals are respected and treated with compassion. Our volunteers are incredible, they play an essential role in helping us carry out our important animal welfare work every day.
Our fosterers play a vital role by providing a temporary home for animals that are in the care of the RSPCA, either during rehabilitation or whilst they are waiting for a suitable permanent home to be found.
You could be fostering an animal for just a few weeks, or it could be a longer-term placement for several months or more.
What you will be doing:
- Providing care and suitable housing in a safe environment for cats while they are in foster care in accordance with Society policies and guidelines
- Feeding, watering, providing enrichment and grooming cats (as appropriate)
- Keeping accurate records of expenditure on fostered animals, via receipts and completed expense forms
- Completing records/daily observations in relation to behaviour and health and liaising with your Foster Coordinator when needed
- For cats ready for rehoming: raising awareness about animals in your care with the hope of rehoming them (including sharing images and videos with your local contact/team)
- For cats' subject to an RSPCA case: using discretion (where needed) if the animal has specific needs or reasons for being in your care
- Offering a separate room to keep the cat/s in and your family/household must be fully supportive (and checked/confirmed that there are no cat allergies within the household)
- Transporting your foster cat for appointments, vet consultations, etc
The skills you need:
- Volunteers must be aged 18 or over
- Previous experience of fostering would be beneficial, and experience caring for cats is essential
- If you have existing cats, it is preferred that they be spayed/neutered and vaccinated (unless there are medical reasons why they can't be), but this can be discussed on a case by case basis
- If in rented accommodation, permission from the landlord must be obtained
What's in it for you:
- Meet like-minded people and get to know more about the work of the RSPCA
- Add an important animal welfare role to your CV
- A great induction and training relevant to your role
- Support from our local and national teams
- You’ll be making a huge difference to the welfare of animals
Disclaimer:
Our voluntary roles are subject to an informal interview and introductory period. Before you can start volunteering you’ll need to complete our suite of eLearn training including a simple online Health & Safety assessment.
Some cats simply don’t respond well to cattery life becoming stressed that affects their health and wellbeing, whereas they thrive in a quiet loving foster home. Kittens, with and without their mums, often need foster homes, until they are weaned and old enough for permanent adoption. Some cats looking for foster homes are subjects of an ongoing criminal investigation, so are in our care whilst the case progresses. With these cats we will not know how long the case will take to resolve and, occasionally, animals may have to be returned to their owner, in accordance with a court ruling.
As a cat fosterer you will play a vital role in looking after the cats in our care until their case is resolved or they find a new home. You'll be providing all the daily care for cats/kittens in your own home, ensuring a safe environment that will cater for their individual (sometimes complex) needs. RSPCA staff will match cats/kittens with foster homes, and will give you all the information and support that you need for each fostered animal. The time commitment for each foster placement can vary from a couple of weeks to many months, with support provided to accommodate holidays and emergencies.
This is a great opportunity to make a real difference to the welfare of cats and kittens in our care.
What is required:
- Be able to transport the cat/kittens to vet appointments and the RSPCA establishment as required.
- Have time to spend with them or be around them.
- A spare room/space at home for fostering a cat is ideal, although not essential (they will not be allowed outside of your home environment, so will need a specific space)
- Have lots of love, time and patience to give the animal whilst they are with you.
If your application is successful, you'll be asked to record and upload a short video, or take some photos of your home environment to accompany your volunteer profile. A home visit may also be required prior to and/or during your time fostering. You’ll get online access to all the necessary training for your role, and we ask you to keep this up to date. You will also receive training from the RSPCA establishment that your foster animal is from, and they will provide you with a point of contact and ongoing support, training and advice. We have a suite of wellbeing resources available and can make reasonable role adjustments to support you in your volunteering.
Thank you!
