Trustee Application Pack

Bringing big hearts and bright minds together with

horses, ponies and foals to create a better future

of 24 | The Mare and Foal Sanctuary | Trustee Application Pack

We are looking for people from a diverse range of backgrounds to join The Mare and Foal Sanctuary as Trustees to help make a real difference to the lives of horses, ponies and people Becoming a trustee Becoming a trustee means you have one of the most important and inspiring roles within the charity. With the Chief Executive, you set the direction and priorities of The Mare and Foal Sanctuary and are ultimately responsible for ensuring it achieves its aims. Our Chief Executive Sarah Jane Williamson has created an ambitious and visionary five-year strategy to expand our work:

“We’re looking for professional volunteers to become trustees to support me in leading this often underestimated charity and make a real difference to horses, ponies and people.

“We’re known for our work to rescue horses and

ponies which have been abandoned, neglected or abused and for the non-judgemental welfare outreach we offer to people struggling to care for horses and ponies for many different reasons. We're less well known for how much we collaborate locally and nationally with the RSPCA and larger equine welfare charities.

“We also provide alternative education and training through equine assisted learning,

therapeutic riding and outdoor learning in nature with our rescued horses and ponies for children, young people, families and adults. We’re relatively new entrants as a provider of these services for people, but we’re already growing our reputation nationally and internationally for this work. This is thanks to our equine centred approach and its emerging positive impact on the people who come to connect with our rescued horses and ponies.

“We also undertook sustainability benchmarking in 2020 and have a clear sustainability action

plan. As a landowner, The Mare and Foal Sanctuary is committed to exploring more sustainable and holistic ways to manage our land for the benefit of the natural world. We are restoring some of our traditional, biodiverse hay meadows and grasslands, ensuring our sites are a habitat for insects and wildlife alongside our rescued equines.

“I hope that the ways that we’re benefiting equines, people and the natural world will appeal to

a broader range of people who may now consider joining us as trustees to help develop our charity’s future.”


Our commitment We are committed to developing a diverse board and wish to recruit trustees from a wide range of backgrounds including young people, people from minority and ethnic communities, people with disabilities and people who have lived experience of the difference that horses and ponies or outdoor learning can make to other people’s lives. We are embracing the evolution of remote working and welcome home-based trustees who can commit to at least one in-person visit each year.

The benefits to you The benefits of becoming a trustee are not only in the interests of our charity. As an individual, it is an excellent personal development opportunity for you. These are just some of the benefits:

• Contributing your skills and expertise to a cause that is important to you

• Playing a fundamental role in the strategic development of the organisation

• Gaining valuable experience and learning new skills within a leadership role

• Challenging yourself by applying your skills in a different environment

• Gaining non-executive board experience in a supportive, developmentally focused culture

• Learning from other trustees and gaining new insights from seeing how others respond to

situations and make decisions.

If needed, we will support you to negotiate time for your trustee work with your employers to align

this voluntary work with your professional development. We would request that you inform your

employers prior to applying.

Interested?

If interested, The Mare and Foal Sanctuary welcomes your interest. As well as the opportunity to

sanctuaries in Devon.

This is a voluntary role with no renumeration. However, reasonable expenses are reimbursed for

any travel associated with attending board meetings and development sessions.

About Us

The Mare and Foal Sanctuary rescues horses and ponies that have been abandoned, neglected

or abused.

We also ensure that horses and ponies have a sanctuary for life. Most horses and ponies are

given care for life through our network of knowledgeable carers. Those horses and ponies with

more complex needs are cared for in our peaceful sanctuaries.

Our work is focused in the South West but as part of the National Equine Welfare Council we

collaborate locally and nationally with the RSPCA and larger equine welfare charities. Our Chief

Executive is a member of the Chief Executives of British Equine Charities group.

The number of horses and ponies requiring crisis intervention continues to grow. We are now

taking in more groups of horses and ponies at once from difficult and complex rescue situations.

These groups are coming in with higher levels of need for specialist care and longer recovery

times.

The Mare and Foal Sanctuary was founded on the principles that horses and ponies, as sentient

beings and close companions of humans over the centuries, have a value and a purpose. They

deserve our kindness and care.

Our equine assisted learning programmes enable people to connect with horses and ponies.

Caring for ponies outside in nature is good for our health, happiness and wellbeing.

We educate people of all ages in how to care for horses to prevent future welfare issues.

We know how to make a difference to other people’s lives through horses, having lived experience

of how they’ve made a difference to ours. We are the only UK equine rescue charity that is a

Federation member of HETI, Horses in Education and Therapy International.

We rely entirely on donations and some legacy gifts to carry out our work. To help us maintain a

steady income we have charity shops in South and West Devon. In addition to our regular full and

part-time staff we benefit from a very helpful core of volunteers both in the stables and in the

shops, without whom we could not operate.
