Calling all students! The Scottish SPCA needs your help to make Scotland the best place for all animals to live!

Volunteering with the Scottish SPCA is a wonderful thing to do, not only for Scotland's animals in need and the people in your local community, but also for you!

Volunteering is good for you in many ways. It has a proven benefit to your physical and mental well-being; offers great social opportunities and can also help you gain skills for your CV or applying for jobs.

So, what are you waiting for? Join us before the 15th of December for the chance to win a £100 Amazon Gift Voucher!

Did you know that it costs us £63,000 per day to look after all the animals in our care? As a student ambassador, you will help ensure that we can continue to provide our vital services.
