Thank you for expressing an interest in joining Brooke's board. It is an exciting time to join our wonderful charity. Brooke is an international animal welfare organisation dedicated to improving the lives of working horses, donkeys and mules and the communities that depend on them. Working across South Asia, Africa and Central America we reach over 1.4 million animals and 1.1million owners annually, with millions more benefiting as our work ripples through whole communities and countries.
Our global strategy is built on the three pillars of transforming equid welfare in communities, building sustainable animal health systems, and advocating for lasting change. We have more than 600 staff members across the globe, including vets, animal welfare experts, human behaviour change practitioners and development specialists.
Brooke is seeking a new board member from one of our countries of operation in Africa (Senegal, Kenya or Ethiopia) to make a real difference to our well respected and growing charity. Experience of charity governance and the leadership of an international organisation are desirable, but we are keen to hear from candidates who feels they have the skills and experience to make a positive contribution. We particularly welcome applications from female candidates. If you find yourself inspired by our work, and believe you have the skills, experiences and attributes to help shape Brooke's future, we would love to hear from you.
Working equines are the engines that power the developing world as they transport people, food, water and goods, as well as labouring in arduous industries such as coal mines and brick kilns. It is estimated that 100 million working equines support around 600 million people. These animals suffer due to the scale of their workloads and inadequate care and services. Our charitable activities not only improve the lives of animals, but they also contribute to improvements in the livelihood of owners and their families. Thank you for your interest.
Being part of Brooke’s team
Becoming a part of the Brooke Board means joining a highly skilled, knowledgeable and dedicated team, together pursuing the goal of global compassion and healthcare for working horses, donkeys and mules and the communities that depend on them.
Brooke's board is diversely talented, highly engaged and united in its purpose. It works closely with the Chief Executive and senior leadership team to ensure Brooke effectively delivers its inspiring mission and is governed to the highest standards. You will possess strategic vision, strong business acumen and a passion to support working equines and their owners and families around the world.
Our Beliefs
Our values
Being a Trustee
“Trustees have independent control over, and legal responsibility for, a charity’s management and administration…Trusteeship can be rewarding for many reasons - from a sense of making a difference to the charitable cause, to new experiences and relationships. It’s also likely to be demanding of your time, skills, knowledge and abilities. Being aware of the duties and responsibilities will help you carry out your role in a way that not only serves your charity well but also gives you confidence that you will be complying with key requirements of the law.
” The essential trustee: what you need to know, what you need to do. (CC3), Charity Commission, 2018.
