Occasional Laundry Person
- Home-based volunteering
Much as we love the cats and kittens we rescue, none of them are great at getting a load of washing done. Can anyone help by doing a load a week on a regular basis? Washing liquid can be provided.
Ideal way to support the work we’re doing easily without having to give up too much time. Without local support we’ll never succeed. Thank you.
