A volunteer fund-raising officer is desperately needed by Cats Protection’s Frome & District Branch to help plan and organise events and activities, to raise money for cats in need.
The branch, which is run entirely by volunteers, rehomes unwanted and abandoned cats, promotes neutering, and provides cat care information to the public.
Angie Newing, Cats Protection’s area branch development manager, said the branch was in desperate need of a fundraising officer so it can continue its vital cat welfare work.
She said, “The branch helps scores of local cats in need every year, whether it’s taking in and caring for cats, finding them loving new homes or promoting neutering to reduce the number of unwanted cats.
“We now desperately need to recruit a fundraising officer to plan and oversee events and activities, so we can raise money to continue this work. There’s no requirement to have any particular skills or qualification, just bags of enthusiasm and a love of cats.
“As well as someone to oversee our fundraising, we’re always in need of fundraising helpers to assist. Even just a couple of hours a month can go a long way in helping to raise much-needed funds to help cats in need.
“Volunteering is not only a great way to help a good cause, it’s also a lot of fun and a chance to meet new people.”
Cats Protection’s Frome & District Branch is part of a network of around 250 volunteer-run branches and 36 centres which help around 200,000 cats every year.
