Ways to volunteer

Volunteers are the heart of Friends of the Animals and there are many ways to get involved, whatever your background or availability..

  1. Voluntary Drivers
    Help collect donations, transport animals to vets or foster homes. We offer mileage or expense reimbursement if not using the charity vehicle.
  2. Office Admin (Newport HQ)
    Support includes answering calls, handling paperwork, and if you’re tech-savvy, social media work.
  3. Shop Volunteers (Ryde, Sandown, Portsmouth, Newport Riverway and Newport Pyle Street)
    Assist with sorting, pricing, displaying, and selling donated goods. Just a few hours a week makes a huge difference.
  4. Event Volunteers
    Support our stalls at local fairs and markets. Run tombolas, sell bric-a-brac, and share our story with the public.
  5. Car Boot Champions
    Run a car boot sale with donated goods. Vehicles and stock can be provided.
  6. Have Another Talent?
    Whether it’s writing, photography, fundraising—tell us how you’d like to help.
