Legacy Fundraising Administration Volunteer Volunteer Opportunity No. VO99870 - Created/last updated: 22/03/2024 | Opportunity |
About this opportunity: | The Scottish SPCA is Scotland's only all-animal rescue service and their work is done without any government funding. Volunteers are vital to the society's work and currently new volunteers are needed to assist the Legacy Fundraising Team with some basic administration duties. Volunteers will be helping to contact and thank the society's generous supporters and maintain the supporter database, as well as other administrative tasks such as photocopying and filing. For people with an interest in administration, this could be the ideal role. All Scottish SPCA volunteers are part of the rescue, helping to fund the vital work as Scotland's only all-animal rescue service. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
