Bentham and District Pet Rescue is seeking new trustees to help secure an exciting new future for the organisation.
As a small volunteer-run animal welfare charity covering an area on the border between North Yorkshire, Lancashire and Cumbria, our primary purpose is to take in stray or unwanted pets from the surrounding area and re-home them.  We also provide support to older members of our community, to enable them to care for their companion animals.
Founded over twenty-two years ago, the charity is looking to continue its vital work in the long term as current members retire and our organisation faces changes to the way it operates. 
We are seeking interest from potential trustees with relevant skills and experience, particularly in the fields of securing funding, charity finances and project management to drive forward plans for the future and be instrumental in realising the development of a new facility in the locality.   
Candidates must be highly committed to animal welfare.
In addition, the charity is searching for land in this area on which to construct a new single-storey building to house the cats that come into our care (with associated visitor parking).  We are keen to discuss terms with the owners of any site (comprising approximately 0.5 ha) in North Craven that may have potential for the development we envisage.
