Dog Foster Carer The Freedom Project is a free fostering service for dogs belonging to people fleeing from domestic abuse. Families fleeing domestic abuse are usually unable to take their pets with them into a refuge so in many cases they are reluctant to leave their home until they know there is somewhere safe for their pets. Dogs Trust, alongside other pets fostering services in the UK, offers a solution. We always need volunteers living in the Central Belt of Scotland to become foster carers and we think there are many fantastic benefits to being part of the Freedom Project: -The enjoyment of caring for a dog without the lifetime commitment -You will be helping a family and their dog to escape from an abusive home -Walking a dog is a fantastic way to exercise and keep fit and healthy -Dogs are a great talking point and a way to get out and meet new people -You’ll receive ongoing advice and support from our friendly Freedom Project staff -Dogs Trust covers all food, expenses and veterinary bills Without the help and support of our dedicated volunteer foster carers, we wouldn't be able to run the Freedom Project. If you are interested in applying to become a foster carer for the Freedom Project, please complete our online enquiry form and we will send you an application form and information pack so you can find more about what it means to be a volunteer foster carer. We may also give you a call to chat about the project and whether the opportunity is right for you. It usually takes up to 3 weeks to become a registered volunteer. https://www.moretodogstrust.org.uk/volunteer/enquiry-form

This opportunity involves assisting in the planning and organising of a number of fundraising initiatives including administrative office based tasks. Attendance at fundraising event.

We required dedicated individuals to help on a regular basis taking care of our varied residents. From brushing horses, to giving carrots to rabbits, to handling baby chinchillas, to mucking out the many pens. The work is varied and as enjoyable as it is hard!. The animals all came to us in need, and we try to fulfil their every need, prioritising affectionate human contact as much as the basic feed, water and cleanliness needs. Volunteers will be involved with as many of the different animals as they wish, or may concentrate on one specific type, and will be encouraged to build relationships and understanding of the animals needs in order to assist with their care.

TAKING PART. We're looking for active people to help us run our riding sessions. Minimum age is 12 but we have no upper limit provided you are reasonably fit. Our sessions run during the school term times from March to June and again from August to November so if you have a couple of hours to spare on Monday afternoons or Wednesdays and would like to do something really worthwhile we would love to hear from you. You don't have to be horsie, nor have previous experience working with disabled people, you just need enthusiasm, energy and a desire to help the riders enjoy their riding…. Oh, and a sense of humour and a pair of wellies are also a bonus! We need people to lead ponies, or walk at the side of some of our riders to give them confidence and encouragement. THE OFFICIAL BIT: Full training will be given to all volunteers. As you will be working with children and vulnerable adults you must have a PVG in place before you can begin helping. We will organise this and there will be no cost to you.

This is a great opportunity for a friendly and outgoing person to support the work of Cats Protection by helping out at one of our charity shops. Volunteers will be asked to help with all aspects of running a small business. The role includes setting out the shop, arranging the stock, window dressing, dealing with the customers, sorting out new stock, and pricing. This role would suit anyone with or without previous retail experience. The shops are run and organised by volunteers and we would welcome your support.
