IN the run up to National Volunteering Week (June 1-7), Cats Protection would like to thank the many thousands of volunteers who offer their time and expertise to help cats and kittens across the UK.
In 2017 our 10,200-strong volunteer network contributed an incredible 5.5 million hours, each volunteer gifting a wealth of expertise and immeasurable passion to the charity. Their dedication enabled Cats Protection to help 200,000 animals.
Cats Protection is always on the lookout for new volunteers.
Though a large part of our work is helping cats, through fostering and rehoming, our volunteers have the opportunity to become involved with a range of interesting activities such as organising fundraising events, helping with publicity or managing funds and resources.
Volunteering can offer the chance to develop skills such as time management, interpersonal skills and teamwork, making CVs much more attractive and of course helping cats.
