Animal Welfare
Volunteer work with animals has many benefits.
Contact with animals has positive impacts on our health and wellbeing. Research has revealed specific benefits such as lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels and mental health benefits.
If you would like to help protect our native species you could train to rescue injured or orphaned animals, or to help care for young or recuperating wildlife.
Many animal shelters also need volunteers for everything from dog walking and cat cuddling to fundraising and community education.
