Why You'll Love It: 
Every penny counts when it comes to improving the lives of the thousands of cats and kittens across the UK that need our help each year. Our collection box fundraising volunteers help our volunteer groups raise vital funds by collecting and distributing collection boxes in their local area. Making a difference can mean as little as raising 20p, which is enough to feed one cat in our care for a day, to £150 which is the average cost of a cat in our care.   We are committed to building a diverse, compassionate and inclusive organisation where everyone can be themselves and do their best. We are courageous and compassionate in our purpose of helping people see the world through cats’ eyes. Together, we can make a difference. Together, we are all for cats. Join the UK’s leading cat welfare charity and help make a better life for cats, because life is better with cats.   It’s super flexible, with no minimum required hours.   The activities you get involved in are completely up to you, making it easy to fit around your studies.   You’ll be fully supported by me as your Team Leader!   You’ll have access to thousands of online modules through our learning system for personal and professional development, if you wish to explore them.   Plus, there’s a thorough induction and some really cool training modules when you start.   The team is also really new in the area, so volunteers will have a genuine opportunity to help shape the activities and decide what kind of things they’d like to get involved in!
