What we are looking for in a volunteer:

• Above all, we are looking for someone who is committed to the RSPCA’s charitable objectives and shares our passion for animal welfare.
• Specific skills such as finance, fundraising, project management, business experience, awareness of employment and/or charity legislation can be useful, but not essential.
• You will need to be able to work with people and have good interpersonal skills. You do not need to be an expert, although commitment, common sense, and the ability to be objective are vital.
• Be able to commit to 4 hours weekly.

Applications are particularly invited from people residing in DA postcodes or BR8 postcodes.

What we can offer you as a volunteer Branch Secretary:

• We will provide you with a comprehensive trustee training course which will provide you with everything you need to carry out the role.
• Ongoing support is also provided by local and national RSPCA staff in addition to any additional training provided by the relevant branch.
• The platform to utilise your skills and experience to oversee the charity and make decisions that have a direct impact on local animal welfare.
• The opportunity to gain new skills and develop existing ones, whilst making a real difference to the lives of animals.
• A way to expand your professional and personal network through working with like-minded people.
• Be a part of a small but friendly team of staff and volunteers.

Ladybarn Community Hub has existed for 40 years but has gone through several iterations in that time. The current charity has existed since 2019 and despite some recent challenges we are starting to build up our local image and develop the Hub into a community resource to be proud of. We're now looking to recruit trustees with experience of community work, charity governance, fundraising and bidmaking or trustee chairing to help us get to the next level. You don't need to have experience of all of the above as we're recruiting several trustees at once but 3+ years of experience in one of these areas would be preferred.

Ladybarn is a very diverse area, and our community includes lots of students, south Asian families and older Irish communities among others. We would like our trustee board to represent the community and we particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and other ethnic minority people and people with disabilities to apply for this post. We're developing groups like a Muslim men's mindfulness group and an LGBT coffee morning and having lived experience will help us tailor groups to appeal to different demographics. We're also particularly interested in trustees that live locally and care about Ladybarn and the surrounding area, but this is not a requirement for every trustee. 

We would also be interested in recruiting a chair or treasurer so if you are interested in these positions please let us know.

This is a fantastic opportunity to come into a budding organisation and support and shape our strategic direction into the future as we try to create a sustainable community centre. Your experienced support, commitment and drive will help us support more people every week and bring the community of Ladybarn together.

The Living Collection at WWT has been integral to our sites since Sir Peter Scott established Slimbridge as a centre for research, conservation, recreation, and education in 1946.Since that time, the collection has evolved from the display of a stamp collection of birds to larger, naturalistic exhibits show-casing the variety of colours, form, and function of waterfowl in natural-looking habitats.

As part of delivering our strategy and developing a sustainable business, we are looking at the role the Living Collections play in attracting visitation and memberships, and to do this we need to fully understand our members and visitors attitudes to this and the attitude of the general public. To start this, we need assistance in undertaking a broad literature review around this area from the last 12 months, and providing us with a general summary by mid August to enable our next steps internally.

This role involves:

●Researching, preparing and collating information relating to public attitudes to animals in human care, e.g. YouGov polls, BIAZA research, university research papers

●Analysing existing research from external agencies outlining public opinions on Zoos and other organisation that keep animals

●Presenting your findings in a written summary report and to a tight deadline (mid-August 2024)

Bodmin Keep is over 160 years old and is the historic home of the Army in Cornwall.  This former headquarters of the Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry houses the museum, with more than three hundred years of military history, a library and meeting rooms. Each of the 12,000 collection items has its own story to tell. Stories about the battles that have been fought, weapons that were used or personal letters that were written on the battlefield.

Our aim is to educate, entertain and inspire a broad range of people of all ages. We want to develop the museum so that it is recognised as a leader in Cornwall and in the nation’s military heritage. We also aim to make a real contribution to the wellbeing and economy of our local community and county, and to our military family.

We are now looking for some new Trustees to join our Board and help us to fulfil these aims and aspirations.  The Trustee role can be very rewarding and enjoyable offering an opportunity to serve the community whilst learning new skills.  The Trustees role is to focus on the strategic direction of the charity and to ensure effectiveness and accountability.  We are particularly interested in hearing from people who are excited about our work and can bring relevant experience/knowledge of the heritage sector, veterans, volunteering, managing finances, income generation or visitor services. For further information about us and how to apply, please download our Information Pack and visit our website.
