Here at Hope Rescue we have a variety of roles that will help you to achieve at least one of your ESR goals or more, all of which will make a significant positive impact on the lives of the most vulnerable dogs and owners here in South Wales.

Fundraising – we are always looking for people to support the challenge of raising £2million each year to make sure that we can be there for a quarter of all the strays in Wales as well as help those in need of help to rehome their beloved dogs.  This support could be at one of our Hope Rescue branded events, which are predominately evening and weekends but occasionally weekdays for pre -event preparation. We can also arrange for bucket collections in stores, which is great fun and extremely rewarding as you literally see your hours turn into much needed funds.

Charity Shop – we have six charity shops based in Pontypridd, Merthyr Tydfil, Pontyclun, Blackwood Cowbridge and Talbot Green. The roles instore would be everything from sorting, steaming, pricing, working on the till and window dressing. If you are a big team, we can base you in different stores for a competitive team challenge. You may even pick up some bargains, whilst on your volunteer day.

Rescue Centre – this would involve helping with maintenance work, painting, cleaning, and gardening. This is the closest you will get to seeing the centre in action. Whilst we can’t guarantee puppy cuddles, you may get to meet some of the dogs waiting for their new homes as well as meet the incredible team that are preparing them for their new lives.

We know that meeting dogs is high on the list for people wanting to volunteer and we try to make this possible.

We ask volunteer teams from business help us to cover the costs of materials for their day with us. This is occasionally provided through the company budget, or your team can set up online giving pages and fundraise prior to the visit. We can help get this set up and share some ideas if you need some inspiration. We ask each team to raise £150 ahead of the volunteer day.
