Woodgreen is a charity that's here for pets and their people. We started our journey 100 years ago. We've done truly amazing work along the way, helping countless pets to get back on their paws. However, our mission remains as important, and urgent, as ever… The landscape for pet rescue and support has changed greatly in the last few years. Our trustees' expertise, passion, enthusiasm and strategic leadership is pivotal in ensuring that Woodgreen's pet services are impactful, sustainable and adaptable. It is an exciting time to join the Board of Trustees at Woodgreen as we move forward with a new pathway that empowers pet owners with the vital information they need at every step of the pet ownership journey - achieving better welfare outcomes for more pets.

We aim to make becoming a Trustee a thoroughly rewarding experience and it's a great way to expand your professional and personal network, through meeting and working with likeminded people that share a passion for promoting animal welfare.
