Could you spare some time for the donkeys and horses?

Flicka relies heavily on volunteers and we always need volunteers to help at the sanctuary. There is so much work to do on the centre, it’s like the Forth Bridge really…..the yard work and caring for the donkeys never finishes! Early mornings bring the hard slog of mucking out stables, turning horses and donkeys out, bringing them in, attending to the fields, feeding, grooming, and cleaning – and there is always cleaning and sweeping to do.

When we're open to the public our popular tea room is always busy and in need of extra hands, serving customers, preparing food and clearing tables. Or you can even learn all about the sanctuary and the animals so you can greet and show our visitors around.

We are also in need of skilled volunteers for repair of stables, building work, paddock fencing, painting, strimming, weeding... the list is endless. Where there are buildings and land used constantly by horses and donkeys the maintenance required is never ending! We are very grateful for any time and dedication to maintenance! 

The day to day work on the centre isn't glamorous - it is hard and mucky, but the rewards are knowing you are giving your time to help animals that, without you, and the generosity of the public, would not be here, or even worse, suffering a life of utter misery and cruelty.

 If you would like to volunteer please fill in a volunteer form and email it to centremanager@flicka.org.uk - we would love to hear from you and will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Please, consider volunteering carefully, the rewards are enormous, but it is hard work. There are some really dedicated volunteers who have been at Flicka for years and we’d love some more!
