Cats Protection is the UK’s leading feline welfare charity and our vision is a world where every cat is treated with kindness and an understanding of its needs.
Cats are at the centre of everything we do and our objectives are: homing, neutering and educating people about cats and their care.
We help thousands of cats across the UK each year thanks to our network of dedicated volunteers, staff and supporters.
The difference you will make to cats and people
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.
You can expect us to
- make you feel welcome, included and respected in line with our values and behaviours
- support you in having a positive and impactful experience at Cats Protection
- cover agreed out-of-pocket expenses in line with our Expenses Policy
- provide you with access to learning, development and engagement opportunities
What we need from you
You'll be:
- overseeing the collection and delivery of collection boxes in different locations
- recording donations and thanking local businesses and supporters
- researching local areas for collection box ‘hot spots’
- sharing fundraising ideas with other volunteers and putting these into practice
- sharing your passion for cat welfare and promoting the work of Cats Protection
A bit more information about this role and the team
We're looking for volunteers to join our fearless fundraising team! We can't do any of the amazing work we do to help cats and their owners in Teesside without raising vital funds - and we need your help!
The role is super flexible and independent, you can place tins in areas that suit you, around your own schedule. There's no minimum required hours, and there's a role for everyone!
Meet amazing people, gain skills and new experiences, and have fun - all whilst making a difference to cats in Teesside.
Due to the nature of the role involving cash handling, you must be over 18 to apply, or volunteer with a friend or family member over the age of 18.
A UK driving license is essential.
Time expectation
Our collection box fundraising volunteers usually spend 1 to 2 hours per week in this role, which is flexible and can be shared by more than one volunteer if needed.
You may be just the volunteer we've been looking for!
