Why these skills are required

Pets at Therapy requires volunteers that can spare 1 hour a week at a regular time and day. Pet's need to be well behaved, good with people and fully vaccinated. Dogs will need to be certified. The NHS will help with obtaining the certificate. Cats and Rabbits also welcome.

What is in it for you

As an NHS volunteer there are many benefits for your own personal development.  As well as being invited to events, access to some training programs and the opportunity to register for a blue lite card.   You and your pet will also be making a genuine difference to people's experience of care.  Volunteering is definitely a rewarding experience.
