Hi Lisa, thanks for posting your video- it's a great idea for people to try out volunteering and hopefully they will want to stay involved after their first taster!! Can people get involved in the lend a paw project across the country?

Often when you are looking for work and hoping a job will accept you, then you can't commit for a long time, it's really great when charities can make volunteering flexible to fit in with the different needs of volunteers!

Hi Ruth, absolutely, that's the brilliant thing about volunteering! Seeing as its National Volunteers' Week (1-7 June), I'd definitely encourage people to give volunteering a try!.
