Job Description

Our vision for volunteering

Volunteering is and always will be at the heart of Cats Protection. It is joyful and inclusive. As a charity, working in partnership, together we transform the lives of cats, people and communities.

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 within the Penarth area

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

you will need to able to drive for this role and have access to a vehicle

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!

If you have any questions about the role, please get in touch with Kelly Phillips at kelly.phillips@cats.org.uk for an informal conversation.

We are committed to building a diverse, compassionate and inclusive organisation where everyone can be themselves and do their best. We are courageous and compassionate in our purpose of helping people see the world through cats' eyes. Together, we can make a difference. Together, we are all for cats. Join the UK's leading cat welfare charity and help make a better life for cats, because life is better with cats.
