Mayhew couldn't run without our volunteers.
From our reception team to adoption home visits and events, our volunteers are essential to everything we do. They dedicate their valuable time to help animals and people in need and assist our full time team in their day to day jobs.
While we continue to adhere to official advice regarding Coronavirus, we are not accepting any volunteering applications until mid-2021. We have a large team of existing volunteers ready to resume their roles when we are able to safely welcome them back to our Home. Any individual vacancies will be posted here if and when they become available. Please note that we are unable to keep waiting lists. We're doing everything we can for the wellbeing of our animals, employees and volunteers, and to decrease the chances of the Coronavirus spreading. You can find out more here.
Our volunteers can work in a number of areas including reception, events, fundraising, fostering, animal care, home checking and Trustees. Volunteers are trained by our staff members and existing volunteers, and commit to a minimum of three months with us, in which they can help in a variety of roles. Our animal roles are very sought after and we do not take applications for these unless we are advertising a vacancy on our website.

If you are looking to organise a charity for your organisation or business, you can get in touch directly with our Corporate and Community Fundraising Officer. Partnering with Mayhew can help you develop and fulfil your Corporate Social Responsibility goals and elevate your brand within the animal lovers’ community.
