At RSPCA Hull & East Riding, our volunteers are the heart of our charity. Every day, their time, energy, and compassion make a direct difference to the lives of local animals in need — and now, we’re thrilled to announce a range of exciting new volunteer roles to suit all skills, interests, and lifestyles.
Whether you have a few hours to spare each week, want to give back occasionally at events, or are looking to build experience in a specific area, we’d love to welcome you to our growing team.
Charity Shop Volunteers
Our shops are a vital source of income for the animals in our care. Volunteers help sort donations, create eye-catching displays, and offer brilliant customer service. No retail experience? No problem — we’ll show you the ropes!
Fundraising & Events Volunteers
Help bring our events to life and support our fundraising efforts across Hull & East Riding. From bucket collections to community stalls and big events, this is a great way to meet people and make a real impact.
Gardener Volunteers
Love being outdoors? Help maintain our rescue centre grounds — from mowing lawns to planting flowers, you’ll help create a calming, green space for our animals and visitors alike.
Photography Volunteers
Use your creative skills to help animals find their forever homes faster. Capture photos of rescue animals, events, and community outreach to help us tell our story and connect with supporters.
Online Seller Volunteers
Turn preloved items into vital funds! Help us research, list, and sell donated goods online via platforms like eBay and Vinted — a perfect role for those who prefer to volunteer from home.
Social Media & Marketing Volunteers
Are you a natural storyteller or love creating content? Help us reach new audiences online, raise awareness, and drive support for our campaigns and rehoming efforts.
Front of House Volunteers – Animal Centre
Be a welcoming face at our busy rescue centre. Support our reception and on-site shop, assist with visitor enquiries, and play a vital role in keeping things running smoothly.
