New opportunities

There are lots of different ways you could give your time to help us in our mission to protect amphibians and reptiles! We aim to make volunteering with us as fun and rewarding as possible, so that you get as much out of it as the wildlife you are helping. You don’t always need knowledge or experience to get started, and we can often tailor volunteering posts around your needs and interests whether it be practical work digging ponds, helping our education team on a session or using your IT skills to help improve our web presence. Listed below are just some of the opportunities available for potential volunteers. If you have a particular volunteer post in mind, but can’t find it here, please get in touch and we will see what we can do for you: info@froglife.org

CITB supported Sacrewell Farm on 04 July. Stacey Smith said " We had a great time at Sacrewell." CITB did lots for the animal village in preparation of its grand opening on 16 th August. Stacey and her team painted all the rabbit houses and chicken coops, moved the chicken run and put soil on the chicken wire before moving the rabbit runs into situ. Sacrewell's Livestock Team Lead, Liane, said “It was incredible to see the team from CITB take time out of their busy schedules to volunteer with us for the day. Their dedication was invaluable in helping us create the brand-new Animal Village at Sacrewell, where the public can walk through and get up close to our lovely chickens, rabbits, pig residents plus much more. On behalf of myself and the entire team at Sacrewell, we extend our heartfelt thanks for their amazing help. If a company or organisation would love to take time out of their ‘normal’ everyday life and volunteer with us, please get in contact at volunteer@sacrewell.org.uk .”
