Volunteering

Volunteering for RSPCA Solent Branch is a great way to meet like-minded people and to be involved with a group of individuals who share the same enthusiasm as you for animal welfare. Being a volunteer will enable you to gain new skills or develop existing ones and can provide you with an opportunity to make a real difference. 

What can I do?

Most volunteering activities for us do not involve practical animal care, although there are some opportunities to get involved in dog socialising, cat socialising etc.  All roles influence animal welfare significantly and due to the number of activities our charity is involved 
in, we need people with a wide range of skills.

Depending on the time you have available and your own interests, there are many ways in which you can help. When you become a volunteer you will be provided with an induction into RSPCA Solent Branch and any training that may be needed for the role. As a 
volunteer you can gain important transferable skills in fundraising, campaigning, finance, team building, animal care, management, computers, administration etc., the list is endless!

We are always looking for volunteers to help at the Stubbington Ark, the RSPCA Veterinary Clinic and Swaythling Centre in Southampton and at the Charity Shop in Fareham, too.

Please note that under our Health & Safety Policy we can only accept volunteers aged 16 and over.
