I started working with the RSPCA in 2026 as an Animal Welfare Officer. I have worked in the veterinary industry for 16 years and qualified as a veterinary nurse since 2015. I have worked as a small animal nurse most of my career but, in 2024, I moved into the charity sector as a veterinary nurse in a large equine charity.
I have two terriers and share horses with my mum, that take up most of my time outside of work and I wouldn’t have it any other way. They are all cheeky and mischievous and keep me on my toes.
I am really looking forward to working with animals, owners, carers and all staff within the RSPCA, within the Lincolnshire area and wider teams.
I have grown up with guide dogs, Guinea pigs and enjoy meeting a variety of animals in the local area. I have fundraised in the past to continue the training of working dogs that allow for independence within their families. I am excited to join the RSPCA to better help and support the wider animal community and to help them find their forever homes. Pictured is Fred, a rescue who enjoys cosy blankets to wet weather walks and always knows when the post is coming.
I joined the branch as Trustee at the start of 2024 and was honoured to become Chair in June and will strive to continue the amazing work already achieved by the branch.
I have a project management and HR background with experience in a number of sectors and I'm looking forward to working with the team to achieve the branch's ambitions to help more animals find the loving homes they deserve.
At home I have a rescue greyhound, who's loving her retirement, and fabulous rescue hens. No doubt more will follow!
I have been a Trustee with the Branch since 2018 and have risen to the lofty position of voluntary Vice-Chair since then! I really enjoy volunteering with like-minded people who have one clear goal - the welfare and best interests of animals. At times it is heartbreaking, we hear and see some terrible things, but when that animal has been rehabilitated and goes to its new forever home, that is the reward.
I am a graphic designer by trade, so generally produce all the posters, leaflets and general advertising that the Branch needs.
I currently have three cats, all started off as fosters from the Branch, but seem to have become permanent fixtures in my home!
Having just started my journey with the RSPCA Lincolnshire Mid, North East and Lincoln, I am looking forwards to driving sales forward to help with much-needed funds.
All the staff, trustees and volunteers do an amazing job, hopefully I can add to the team!
Oreo was a rescue kitten who is such a character, and very much loved.
I had previously been a volunteer over several years and set up the branch’s eBay sales outlet before taking on the role of Shop Manager when the Woodhall Spa shop opened in 2018. With animal welfare at the forefront, I have fostered animals in the RSPCA system and also have family pets of my own.
I was previously a trustee for almost 8 years and I love my role at the branch; the whole team are passionate about animal welfare and it is fantastic to work alongside likeminded people.
I have joined the Branch and hope to bring to it some knowledge and ideas from my pre-retirement role as a charity CEO.
I joined because I have had a life-long love of animals and I hoped that my past experience might be of some small use in supporting the brilliant work the other trustees have been doing over past years.
"I started volunteering as a dog walker in 2012, moving into my role as fundraising and events coordinator and more recently being elected as Voluntary Chair of the Committee in 2019.
I love being part of a team whose priority is always the animal - every decision we make is with them at the centre. It is an extremely rewarding, but equally heartbreaking role at times, but seeing the animals find their perfect home after coming in so poorly or so frightened makes it all so worthwhile.
Being part of the branch should come with a warning though, as over the years I’ve adopted three beautiful rabbits and three gorgeous cats!"
"I have been a Trustee since 2020 when I joined in the middle of lockdown. I am passionate about animal welfare and happy to help with projects ongoing within the committee and support the Branch Administrator function.
Being a trustee is rewarding especially when we take in a frightened animal; give it care and medical attention and see it thriving in a new forever home."
I became a Trustee since 2019, deciding to help after adopting my two kittens Jemima and Harley, and realising that the adoption fee I paid didn’t even cover the cost of their vaccinations and neutering!
I was determined to do more to help the Branch so it could help more animals! I sadly lost Harley in December 2019, but adopted my little Rogue in September 2021. I’ve always loved animals, especially cats, and I just want to see more animals find their perfect homes!
