As part of our interview series for our Trustee Network, Taylor Root Partner, Sarah Ingwersen<\/a>, recently spoke to Natalie Chopra<\/a>, Senior Solicitor at Cancer Research UK<\/a>, about being a Trustee for the RSPCA London East Branch <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does your Trustee charity do? <\/span><\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We support animals in need across East London and Havering. We take in cats that are sick, injured, abandoned or in circumstances where there are welfare concerns. These cats usually come in to us via RSPCA inspectors, who have picked up the cats from situations where the cat is in immediate need, but we also take in cats from members of the public where there is an urgent welfare issue. We care for these cats, provide a safe boarding environment, all vet care needed, behavioural and physical rehabilitation, lots and lots of TLC and find them appropriate homes when they\u2019re ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also provide advice to the public in many areas on a daily basis, such as animal cruelty or welfare concerns, wildlife care, giving up animals and general pet care. We support our local inspectorate team, providing equipment when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We fundraise in person and online, run social media comms to provide advice on animal care and rehoming appeals, carry out all required governance activities and manage a small number of volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What motivated you to become a Trustee of this not-for-profit organisation?<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

My beautiful family cat passed away in late 2018. There are very few consolations when losing a pet, but something that stuck with me was that he could not have had a better life or been more loved. I wanted to help more animals find the same kind of love and care. The RSPCA in particular takes in animals that have gone through terrible suffering and particularly deserve to find loving homes where they never have to experience that again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d also wanted to work with animals from a young age and while my career path didn\u2019t lead that way, it\u2019s still a passion of mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
