Surprisingly there are relatively few voluntary not for profit organisations and charities in Wirral who work with animals.

The best known is the RSPCA in Wallasey, where volunteers can help in various ways.

Volunteers can walk the dogs in near by parks, help with cat grooming and cat caring. There are also opportunities for volunteer to get involved with the home visits for people who are unable to bring their cats to the catteries. The RSPAC also does a lot of national campaign work which volunteers can get involved with.

At Tam O'Shanter Urban Farm in Bidston, volunteers can get involved with tending and working with a variety of farm animals, conservation work and farming work. The Farm has on the job training for volunteers.

For horse lovers there are opportunities to work with Wirral Riding for the Disabled. Volunteers help the riders mount and dismount the horses and help them to feel at ease on the horses.

There are a number of opportunities for volunteers to work with animals outside Wirral on residential and working holidays. RSPB have residential volunteering all year round through out the UK. Various activities including survey and research work, habitat management, waterbed clearing and bird protection.
