Description
Volunteering with the RSPCA North Somerset Branch is a great opportunity to become directly involved in animal welfare work and you will need to be committed to the RSPCA’s objectives of promoting kindness and preventing cruelty to animals.
The RSPCA North Somerset Branch is a separately registered charity from the National RSPCA and relies primarily on support from its local community to help fund the Animal Centre in Brent Knoll. Our animal welfare work and rehoming, although local in nature, benefits society at large and aims to help people in need with the care of their animals. We support our local RSPCA Inspectors by providing funds for the emergency treatment and accommodation of animals when they have been mistreated, abandoned, or their owners are no longer able to care for their animals.
Our Branch rely on our valued volunteers to donate their time at the Animal Centre in Brent Knoll, fundraising and our 4 shops that are based in Winscombe, Worle, Yatton and Weston-Super-Mare. Without volunteers, we would be unable to raise the funds that we need to keep the Animal Centre open and to continue our vital work in looking after the animals in our care.
We are looking for members of the North Somerset Community to join our dedicated team of volunteers and there is no such thing as a ‘typical volunteer’, we welcome people from all walks of life and benefit greatly from drawing on their skills and life experiences. Whether you want to volunteer your time on a regular basis or just help for the day - we have all kinds of great volunteering opportunities available.
