Volunteer for us

Volunteering for us is one enjoyable way of helping animal welfare and can be very rewarding.

We can't do it without you

Volunteers make a huge contribution to the work we do to prevent cruelty, promote kindness to and alleviate suffering of animals.

With such a wide range of volunteering roles available at the West Suffolk RSPCA there is bound to be a suitable opportunity for you.

What will I gain?

Volunteering with us is a great way to meet like minded people who share the same enthusiasm for animal welfare. There are lots of other benefits too, such as:

gaining new skills or developing existing ones

the chance to try out something new doing something useful and rewarding

gaining a sense of achievement

putting something back into the community

developing your personal skills and confidence

As a volunteer you can gain important transferable skills in fundraising, campaigning, finance, team building, management, computers, administration – the list is endless.

Who can volunteer?

Anyone can volunteer. We value diversity and encourage volunteers from all sections of the community.

Unfortunately, there are limited opportunities for anyone who is under 16 years of age and some restrictions apply in relation to opportunities for under 18's. If you can't find a volunteering opportunity why not consider having some fun fundraising for us instead?
