Raystede has around 440 wonderful volunteers, doing everything from helping our Animal Care Teams, welcoming visitors and assisting in our shops to fostering animals, gardening, supporting our Education and Fundraising Teams and raising awareness about our work in local communities.

Over the last year, we were gifted an inspiring 106,844. hours of volunteering time! Volunteers really are the lifeblood of Raystede. We simply could not care for as many animals as we do without the skills, hard work, passion and loyalty of our volunteers. Thank you!

Volunteers must be over the age of 16 and, if volunteering onsite at Raystede, have access to their own transport. Volunteers aged between 16-17 years old will need a parent or guardian to sign your application form to say they are happy for you to come and volunteer with us.

Meet Albert, who is one of our most heartwarming transformations.

When Albert arrived at Raystede, he was nervous, underweight and suffering with painful patches of dry skin and sore joints.

At Raystede, we don’t just rehome animals, we rehabilitate them first, giving the best chance at a happy and healthy life. From healthcare to behavioural therapy, every step of their journey is carefully guided so they can trust again.

You can make a difference. A gift today will help make sure we can continue to care for all our animals, giving them the love and care they deserve.
