They are looking to expand their team of vital fundraising and community engagement volunteers as fundraising is now more important than ever and support is required in every Scottish community.

The volunteer may attend events, help with bucket shakes or collection cans, and there is also the opportunity to join the speaker network or help with pop-up advice hubs - there's lots to choose from. By building relationships within the local community, the Scottish SPCA hopes that volunteers will have fun, learn new skills and meet new people.
