Volunteering

We’re a home-based rescue centre in Soham and we admit around 450 animals and birds a year. Our centre is run on a day-to-day basis by one of our founders, Tara, with the help of a small number of part-time volunteers.

“I’ve always been interested in wildlife, especially hedgehogs. It’s been a great opportunity to learn so much more, and of course to give so much back. I have met some great people, who I can say have become close friends.” - Anita

"I’m a veterinary nurse who has a keen interest in wildlife. I especially enjoy working with the birds and examining various samples under the microscope. Everyone here brings their own individual skills and knowledge, so I find I am continually learning. I feel privileged to have been welcomed into a close, caring and dedicated team, who share my compassion towards animals." - Kat

"Volunteering at Cambridge Wildlife Care is an endlessly exciting experience. It’s so much fun getting stuck in with a variety of animals each week and seeing just how much progress they can make. Learning the in’s-and-out’s of wildlife care from such a highly skilled and dedicated team is such a pleasure and I am constantly inspired by the work they do. The level of passion for animal care and rescue at CWC absolutely shines through in the quality of care provided to so many animals in need." - Olivia
