Volunteers are wonderful and Many Tears rely on them a lot to help. In addition to volunteers who can only help occasionally, what we really needs is “permanent” reliable volunteers who can commit to volunteering EVERY week to help us.

BEFORE coming to volunteer please check that date you want to come with our the rescue by emailing mtvolunteering@gmail.com

Please read the following guidelines regarding volunteering for Many Tears.

• We are open for volunteers between 9am-3pm 7 days a week. You must be able to stay for a minimum of 3 hours but preferably longer so the latest you can arrive is 1pm.
• Please wear suitable clothing. Bring a water proof coat, walking boots, trainers or wellington boots are all acceptable and a must and no open toes shoes even in the summer.
