Description
Do you have a couple of hours to spare each month?
Enjoy catching up with your friends over a drink at the nearby cafe?
Perhaps you like to go for a pub lunch on Sunday with your family?
Or maybe you venture out frequently to your local garden centre to purchase more plants for your ever-expanding garden?
We are looking for volunteers in and around the Rugeley area to join our ever-expanding pin badge volunteer team, and place and visit pin badge boxes in sites such as shops, pubs, cafes and garden centres.
You can help to raise up to £1,000 a year for the RSPB in locations such as these! If you can help look after these boxes in the area then we would be delighted to hear from you.
Together, we can all help to give nature a home by helping raise vital funds for conservation.
What's in it for you?
You will have the opportunity to get out and about in the Rugeley area and meet people, as well as enthusing others about the RSPB's work. The money that you raise will make a real difference – helping to save the UK's threatened wildlife and give nature a home.
We can help you to gain skills and an insight to our work, and what's more, you can fit it easily into your regular routine! There is a local area co-ordinator who will be able to support you with your box management and assist you with any enquiries that you have.
The skills you will need:
You will ideally have a personable approach, good local knowledge of Rugeley and its surrounds, motivation, the initiative to work on one's own and good communication skills.
You will need to be able to visit your sites every four to six weeks in order to collect and pay in all donations raised, as well as replenishing your boxes.
You will receive friendly support and appropriate training, and we will also reimburse your travel costs by covering your expenses.
