Volunteer
Volunteering is a rewarding way to support animal welfare and our work in Scotland and we have a range of activities you could get involved in. Some are working with the animals in our care, but we also need support in a whole variety of different areas that you may not expect.

Youth volunteer opportunities
We are committed to supporting people of all ages to get involved with our work, so it’s great to be able to offer our Youth Volunteering Programme for 14-16 year olds.

It costs us £63,000 every day to continue the work that animals across Scotland depend on. Our work is only possible because of the generosity of people like you.
