Volunteering With MAS
At Malmesbury Animal Sanctuary we are proud to be able to offer volunteering opportunities for the local community. We run three shifts a day increasing to four in the summer. Volunteering is a great way to do something positive for the community but mostly it’s a rewarding way to help animals that wouldn’t otherwise have a loving home.
Our goats, emus, alpacas and chickens love our daily visits and it’s a rewarding and enriching way to enhance both their lives and yours. We offer an initial site visit so that you can meet the animals and be certain if this is for you. No previous experience necessary, just an open heart.
