What's in it for you

If you’re volunteering to learn new skills and gain knowledge about wildlife conservation work, you’ll find that our team will be more than happy to help you on that journey. This is an opportunity to try new things and use your skills to make a valuable contribution to the work of your RSPB Local Group. We are also a friendly and supportive team, so you will get the chance to build new relationships and meet new faces. Perhaps the most rewarding aspect of being part of a Local Group is knowing that you're really making a difference in inspiring others to help save nature.
