Trustee
As a trustee of the RSPCA Worcester & Mid-Worcestershire Branch, you will be responsible (with your fellow committee members) for managing the affairs of the branch to promote and provide animal welfare within the Worcester & Mid-Worcestershire area.
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.
Much of our direct animal welfare work is carried out through our Branches. These separately registered charities across England and Wales are run by volunteers who are unstinting in their work for animal welfare. This is an exciting opportunity to become involved with the Branch, helping to achieve our purpose of promoting kindness and preventing cruelty to animals.
RSPCA Branches raise money locally to support the animal welfare work they do. Each Branch operates at a local level offering advice, microchipping, neutering and subsidised animal treatments, as well as rehabilitating and rehoming animals taken in through their clinics, animal centres, boarding and fostering facilities.
Do you have professional expertise you could use to help a good cause? Are you passionate about animal welfare? We are looking for enthusiastic and reliable professional people to actively volunteer for the Branch as trustees, ensuring that the Branch is governed and managed effectively, whilst continually having animal welfare at the forefront of their minds. Trustees serve on the governing body of the charity and have the responsibility of the running of the Branch.
As a trustee of a Branch you will have the chance to influence how we care for and prevent cruelty to animals.
Trustees must be 18 or over and must not be disqualified as a company director or have been convicted of an offence involving dishonesty, deception or animal cruelty/neglect.
In addition you need to become a member of the National RSPCA. Trustees are committed to the objectives of the RSPCA.
“To promote kindness and to prevent or supress cruelty to animals and to carry out all such acts as the RSPCA may consider to be conductive or incidental to the attainment of those objectives”

Charity Shop Volunteer

Gardening / Grounds Maintenance
We are always looking for volunteers who are able to commit to an hour or two each week to help us maintain our lovely grounds here at The Holdings. With 5 acres to look after, we desperately need help with keeping grass cut and our plants and hedges in good order (or at the very least, under control!).
