• Researching local "hot spots" for new collection box locations
• Sharing fundraising ideas with other volunteers and helping put them into practice
• Promoting the work of Cats Protection and your passion for cat welfare

What you can expect from us:

• A warm, welcoming and inclusive volunteer environment
• Support to ensure your experience is positive, rewarding and impactful
• Reimbursement of agreed out-of-pocket expenses in line with our Expenses Policy
• Access to learning, development and engagement opportunities

Time commitment:

This is an adhoc role, with an average of 1 hour per week being the basis of the role

What we're looking for:

• A reliable and organised volunteer with a friendly approach
• Someone comfortable visiting local businesses and engaging with supporters
• A team player who enjoys contributing ideas and working with others
• A passion for helping cats and supporting your local community
