In the final installment marking Volunteer Awareness Week we are focusing on one of the newest members of our awesome voluntary team.

Chrissy has only very recently become a volunteer with us and is now an integral part of the fundraising team.

She gives up her precious time for us for at least three days a week and concentrates mainly on computer based assistance - focusing on data entry. Even though she does not working directly with animals, her contribution to the team and the organisation cannot be underestimated.

Why did you decide to become part of the Wellington SPCA team? Why did you decide to become a volunteer?

I like animals and have always wanted to help at SPCA so when I saw this particular position advertised (on the Wellington SPCA website) I applied as the team were looking for someone with my skills.

How long have you been with Wellington SPCA?

Just two weeks

What has been your most notable experience at Wellington SPCA so far?

Being encouraged to take a break from the computer to have cuddles with the puppies!!

What would you say to others who might think about volunteering with Wellington SPCA?

It is the most rewarding work

There are so many ways that you can volunteer your time to help us – it doesn’t always have to be directly working with the animals. You may just have the skills we need! Please feel free to complete the application form and let us know how you think you can help.
