🎄 Could you help us bring some exciting OWR events to life? 🦔🦊🦉

Hi everyone! 👋

We’re currently looking for one or two enthusiastic volunteers who would like to get involved with helping us plan and organise some upcoming fundraising and community events for Oxfordshire Wildlife Rescue. 💚

One of the ideas we’d really love to bring to life is an OWR Christmas Fayre this year 🎅🎁 — alongside smaller community events, workshops and fundraising activities throughout the year.

We’re looking for someone who might enjoy helping with things such as:

🎄 Planning and organising our Christmas Fayre
💡 Coming up with new fundraising and event ideas
🤝 Connecting with local businesses, stallholders and community groups
📅 Helping coordinate workshops and smaller events
📣 Finding new ways to raise awareness of OWR and the work we do
💚 Helping our events raise vital funds to support sick, injured and orphaned wildlife

This is a voluntary role, and you don’t necessarily need professional events experience. We’d love to hear from someone who is organised, creative, enthusiastic and enjoys bringing people together.

There’s also plenty of opportunity to bring your own ideas to the table — we’d really like whoever gets involved to help shape what OWR’s community events could look like in the future.

Interested in getting involved? 🦔

📧 Please email [email protected] and tell us a little about yourself and why you’d like to help.

Please feel free to share this post too — the perfect person (or people!) might be somewhere in your friends list. 💚

Best wishes

Team OWR 😊

WE NEED YOU! 😍

OWR sees around 4,000 wildlife casualties being admitted every year, and that's not including all the other patients we advise for and assist elsewhere too! Without our amazing team of dedicated volunteers, we simply wouldn't be able to deliver the care, attention, treatment or rescue for these animals!

Volunteering your time to help give back to nature, can be a rewarding experience. seeing these animals and birds coming in, sick, injured and or orphaned, being nursed back to health and later be released back to the wild is one thing, but to play your part and role within this process.. is another world entirely 🥹

We are looking to recruit more volunteers for the evening shifts at weekends. 6pm - 10pm Saturdays or Sundays. If you can help us, and wish to give back to nature, please fill in a volunteer application form via our website through the link below ❤

We look forward to hearing from you and having you join the team here at OWR!!
