VOLUNTEERING

Volunteer with GRWE and make a real difference!

Volunteers are the lifeblood of GRWE - we simply could not operate without the support of our generous and valued volunteers, all of whom play a central role in our rescue and rehoming work by donating their time, skills and energy to support the charity.

We currently have a number of voluntary roles with lots of opportunities to build new skills, meet new people and gain valuable experience while volunteering with the largest independent charity dedicated to rescuing and rehoming greyhounds and lurchers .

Please take a look at our national and regional volunteering opportunities and, if you think you have the right skills and enough time to dedicate to one of these roles, please contact the relevant person as indicated below, stating the role you are interested in, any relevant previous experience and your contact details, including your email and landline phone number.

As a GRWE volunteer, you really will be making a difference! Click here to find out more about GRWE.
