CORPORATE VOLUNTEERS

Your team will arrive at our AWLQ Animal Rehoming Centre and be given an overview of the organisation and the work that we do in rehoming the animals in our care.

You will then be treated to a behind the scenes shelter tour and meet some of the team and animals you are helping to support.

In addition to participating in specifically designed projects to assist in the operations and care of the animals, you will also have plenty of one-on-one time with the shelter pets giving them some much deserved time and affection.

To ensure your team gets an equal amount of time with volunteering and engaging with the animals, we can accommodate groups of up to 12 people.

The sessions are 3.5 hours long with the day commencing at 9:30am and finishing at 1:00pm.

As part of your time with us, you will receive an AWLQ Information Pack, Morning Tea and a branded AWLQ T-shirt or AWLQ Cap.

The volunteer session itself can include projects such as landscaping, painting, gardening, renovating, and toy making, in addition to animal interactions such as dog training sessions, enrichment play, cat grooming, guinea pig feeding, etc.

Your business will also be presented with a Certificate of Appreciation with a group photo taken with some of our shelter animals by our AWLQ photographer as a keepsake of your time with us.

All participants are requested to wear closed-in shoes and long pants. However, aside from that, you wear whatever you feel comfortable in – and be okay for it to get a little bit dirty! Morning tea and refreshments are supplied but team members are welcome to bring their own snacks if they have specific dietary requirement.

If you are not including the AWLQ Cap in your corporate package, we encourage everyone to bring along a hat due to most activities and projects often being held outdoors.

The cost of our AWLQ Corporate Volunteer program is $1,250 for up to 12 people.

This cost helps cover the resources needed and materials required for the projects you will be helping with and is invoiced to your company for your records as a tax-deductable donation.

The AWLQ does not receive any government funding, so every gesture of support to help our Animal Rehoming Centres and the animals in our care makes a huge difference to the work that we do.
