You may read a lot in the news about animal cruelty and how climate and deforestation are affecting species across the globe.
Animal sanctuaries are vital spaces that work to provide homes for animals who otherwise wouldn’t have anywhere else to live. They also offer care and rehabilitation services to sick or injured animals, and volunteers play a crucial role in helping these animals get back on their feet, as well as allowing sanctuaries to thrive and grow.
Volunteers often spend time feeding and cleaning the animals, walking them around the grounds, and even playing with them. Some volunteers take part in training programmes designed to teach them new skills. Others simply enjoy spending time with the animals, offering companionship and opportunities to socialise.
