Can You Lend a Hand for Scotland’s Animals?

The Scottish SPCA is inviting local animal lovers to join their Dumfries and Galloway Supporter Group.

Scotland’s animal welfare charity is hosting a recruitment event for fundraising volunteers at the Gardenwise Garden Centre, Dumfries on Saturday 30 June from 11.00am to 12.30pm.

Come along to find out more about how the charity’s life-saving work makes a real difference to animals in Scotland.

Scottish SPCA Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centre Superintendent Sharon Comrie said, “Joining one of our supporter groups is a wonderful way to meet new people, take on a new challenge and also give back to the community. 

“Last year we rehomed 5,410 animals, which is fantastic but clearly shows how busy we can be.

“We’d really love to hear from anyone who would like to lend a hand and help save the lives of abused, abandoned and injured animals.

“Volunteering is a great way of meeting new people or for adding experience to your CV. It’s a fun way of being able to give back to the community and helps us to continue rescuing abused and abandoned animals.

“Whether you can give an hour here or there, or can volunteer on a more regular basis, we’d love to hear from you!”

Sharon added, “We don’t receive any government or lottery funding which means we rely on the public to be able to continue our vital work rescuing and rehoming animals in desperate need of our help.”

Those interested in attending the meeting are being asked to call fundraising on 03000 999 999 (option 4) or email [email protected].
