Are you an experienced gallerist or someone with a love of art, photography and animals? If so, you might be the perfect person for this exciting new volunteer opportunity.
Following our recent refurbishment, we have a large area in our reception building which we think is the perfect space to showcase animal welfare related exhibitions. We’re looking for a volunteer to assist in curating these exhibitions and to support with administration.
About the Role:
The Volunteer Curator will help with all aspects of the exhibitions, from generating and developing ideas with our Communications & Marketing team to physically hanging the artwork.

This is a new volunteer role working with the Communications & Marketing team. It’s an exciting new opportunity for us to engage our supporters with animal welfare in a creative way. We are all learning together, so there may be the opportunity to visit other galleries alongside the team to gain insight into how to create engaging exhibitions.
As we work together to decide the scope of the work, we are happy to be flexible with potential volunteers on the day that they come to site, however this is most likely to be between Monday-Friday. We hope to develop a rolling programme of exhibitions, so the Volunteer Curator role is welcome to commit for as long as they are willing to help us, we hope that this would be for a minimum of 6 months.
About You:
You will be an outgoing and creative person with experience gallery work and understand current animal welfare issues. Bath Cats & Dogs Home’s supporters range from various ages and backgrounds, so sensitivity of this in your ideas for exhibitions would be appreciated.

Fundraising volunteer
Our vision for volunteering
Volunteering is and always will be at the heart of Cats Protection. It is joyful and inclusive. As a charity, working in partnership, together we transform the lives of cats, people and communities.
The difference you will make to cats and people
As a charity we are able to help thousands of cats each year thanks to the generous donations we receive from members of the public. Our fundraising volunteers use their passion for cats and people to raise the vital funds needed to help more cats and kittens in need. As a fundraising volunteer we want to support you to fundraise in whatever way suits you best, whether that’s organising a fundraising event, fundraising online, promoting fundraising activities on social media, completing administration or supporting the development of new fundraising ideas! Whatever your skill set, this could be the role for you!
