What can I do?

All volunteer roles - even those not directly involving animals have a significant impact on animal welfare - support the vital work we do today! Look at the opportunities below to see how you can help us.

Administrator

Our branches and regional centres often need administrative help.

Computer work

Computer-based volunteer work can often be done in the comfort of your own and can be very flexible with regards to time - so even if you've only got an hour to spare each week there will be a role for you!

Photographer

We need volunteers to photograph and video animals in our care so we can advertise them on rehoming pages on our website and on Facebook.

Branch trustee

Our branches are run by a committee of volunteer trustees who are responsible for managing the affairs of the branch.

We need volunteer drivers to help by transporting needy animals in our care.

Fostering

The volunteer role of a fosterer is a crucial one and can make a huge difference to the rehabilitation of an animal and their chances of finding a forever home.
