WHY VOLUNTEER?????
Kyrenia Animal Rescue relies on volunteers to lend a hand whenever they can. There are various volunteer roles at K.A.R.
Our fantastic volunteers have a variety of reasons for volunteering. For some it gives them a chance to give something back to the community. For some people they are new to the Island and want to build a social network. For others it could be boredom and gives them a sense of purpose. We also have regular visitors to the island who volunteer who live in Kyrenia for a few months of the year.
IT’S GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH: No we aren’t making this up! Studies have found that when you stop thinking less about your own problems and focus on something else your stress levels start to decrease, your immune system strengthens and your overall sense of satisfaction increases (source United Health Group).
WHICH ROLE WOULD SUIT YOU???.
Charity Shops – this role involves serving customers, sorting and pricing clothes. Many of our volunteers are retired and come to work in the shops for one morning or afternoon per week.
At our centre – With over 350 dogs and puppies and over 50 cats and kitten there is always plenty to do at our rescue centre. Dog walking, feeding, cleaning, grooming are all part and parcel of working at our rescue centre.
Meeters and Greeters – Now that the TRNC visitor season is upon us, we often need meeters and greeters to show visitors around the centre and talk to them about what we do.
