Just
how do you go about giving us a helping hand?
For a start, what about printing out a volunteers poster
and displaying it where you work?
See 'downloads' to the left.
Anyway, here's just a few areas in
which you can help...
FUNDRAISING AND
GENERAL HELPERS
Foremost amongst our
needs is funds!
The structure and commitments of the branch
call for regular fund raising events each year which,
in turn calls for enthusiastic volunteer fundraisers with lots of
ideas!
They will want the branch to be as effective as possible
in looking after animals all over the branch area.
If the organiser
part puts you off,
we still need helpers galore at most events.
FOSTERING
An
important part of our rehoming programme.
If you are willing to foster an animal, pending it finding a new home
and won't have more than four animals (including your foster visitor)
in the house, you can help us.
This facility is especially needed where a foster pet
has a special need for 'home attention'
and kennels or a cattery are not the best boarding solution.
Insurance cover is provided for fosterers and we will need to 'approve
you'.
HOME VISITING
Home Visitors are
essential in the chain of events
leading to an animal
being successfully rehomed.
Those wanting to
adopt an RSPCA animal must be seen at home
to ensure
animal/adopter best match.
Follow-up
visits are made after the animal has settled in its new home.
Home Visitors are
all volunteers,
reporting to the branch homing co-ordinator (another volunteer).
If being a Branch
Home Visitor interests you,
the society will
give you training
and the branch will help you learn the ropes to be active in your area.
COMMITTEE
MEMBER/BRANCH TRUSTEE
A committee of
trustees, elected annually at the AGM
is responsible for fundraising and welfare initiatives along with
rehoming.
If becoming a trustee and comittee member interests you
and you are willing to devote some time to the running of the branch,
please send us an email or click on the "volunteer vacancy" panel right
.
Currently, committee meetings
take place monthly either in Congleton or Macclesfield.
Whatever, you feel you can do to help - let us know
by using 'Get in touch' link to Right.
