Cats Protection: Events Helper – Volunteer Opportunity
Help raise vital funds and make a difference for cats in your community
Be part of something special
At Cats Protection, volunteering sits at the heart of everything we do. It’s a joyful, inclusive experience that brings people together with a shared purpose – to improve the lives of cats, support their owners, and create stronger communities.
What you’ll be doing
Our Fundraising Events Helpers play a vital role in supporting local fundraising activities – from bake sales and street collections to quiz nights and barn dances. No two events are the same, and every one of them helps raise much-needed funds for cats and kittens in need.
As a volunteer, you may:
- Help set up and run stalls at events
- Support street collections or supermarket fundraising days
- Lend a hand at fun, community-based events like dances, cake sales, or quizzes
- Represent Cats Protection professionally and warmly in public
What you can expect from us
We want your time with us to be positive, rewarding and impactful. That’s why we’ll:
- Ensure you feel welcomed, respected and included – always
- Support you throughout your volunteering journey
- Reimburse agreed out-of-pocket expenses (as per our Expenses Policy)
- Offer access to learning and development opportunities
Your time, your choice
This is a highly flexible role. Whether you can give a couple of hours to a single event or attend several across the year, we’ll keep you informed about upcoming local opportunities – and you choose what suits you best. Every moment you give helps cats in need.
Interested?
You might be just the person we’re looking for. For an informal chat about the role, contact Jason at jason.reading@cats.org.uk.
