Confidence with dogs of all sizes and temperaments
Act on training techniques given by our dog coordinator
Able to control dogs that may pull on the lead
Have a good level of fitness
Available for at least one hour to walk the dogs on any one day, pre-arranged with our team
Walk only one dog at a time
For more information please email your details, experience and reasons for wanting to get involved to enquiries@roystonanimalwelfare.org
Fund Raising
As a small charity we rely totally on volunteers to raise funds to cover the costs of the work we do. We do this in many ways:
Attending galas with stalls, raffles, tombola's
Auctions, one off fundraising events
Collections in town & at Barnsley football ground etc.
To be involved with this activity you will need to be:
Outgoing and willing to chat to people about the charity
Good with money (handling change etc)
Able to give at least one half day support to a particular event
You can also support us by doing your own sponsored event and raising money for us such as running a marathon, climbing a mountain, jumping out of an aeroplane, doing a sponsored walk or silence.
For help please don't hesitate to contact us at: enquiries@roystonanimalwelfare.org
Donations
We are always in need of suitable items for raffles/tombola/auctions, if you can support us in this way then please phone 07874945689 or email enquiries@roystonanimalwelfare.org to arrange drop off/collection.
Now Open!
We now have our own shop open, so you can now support us by not only decluttering (what you think is your trash may be someone else's treasure as the saying goes) you can also grab yourselves a bargain and help the animals too.
