Our volunteers play a huge part in the planning and running of our events.  These are quite ‘hands-on’ roles where you can be involved in many different ways supporting the fundraising team in raising funds and promoting the work of the RSPCA Coventry and District Branch within the Coventry region.

These are very sociable role and would require a commitment but is extremely rewarding in the knowledge that you are raising funds to support the work of the RSPCA Coventry and District Branch. 

You could be a group of friends, work colleagues, students who have a passion for animals – dogs and cats in particular – and who love to be outdoors or someone retired or only have a few hours available once or twice a year! Whatever your situation, we would love to hear from you!
