Wanted: New RSPCA super campaigners - cape and underpants not essential!

The RSPCA has opened up applications for a new band of Super Campaigners - an exciting role for individuals - who want to immerse themselves in RSPCA campaigning activities to help improve animal welfare across England and Wales.

The flexible role will allow volunteers to undertake tasks in their own time – some of which may only take a few minutes such as social media sharing, and others may take a lot longer, such as distributing leaflets and posters within your local community.

All Super Campaigners will need is a laptop and wifi - no cape or underpants wearing necessary! There are no interviews in the application process at present, only a written application is required with reference checks.

Daniele Colabona, 42 from London, is currently one of the RSPCA Super Campaigners.

“I'm passionate about the role and sure others will be too,” he said. “I’m an Italian who moved to London six years ago and after having some great work and life experiences here, I felt the urge to give back to this city that has given me so much.

“Therefore, I decided to do something for my community. As animal welfare is something I'm deeply passionate about, I applied to become an RSPCA Super Campaigner. Being part of this team allows me to help protect animals, which is vital work for the organisation.

“I'm confident that this will be a great way to encourage more people to get involved and make a difference.”

Super Campaigner Judith Vaughan, from Surrey, said she joined the team in April 2022.

 

 

“I'm a volunteer at the cattery in Chobham (RSPCA Millbrook Animal Centre) along with my autistic daughter and I'd say to anyone who wants to join the super campaigner team - do it!

“It's a great way to give extra support to an incredible organisation and it makes you feel that you are really helping to spread the word. It's not hard to complete the tasks and there is great support to help you every step of the way.”

RSPCA campaigns officer, Christa Harwood, said: “We know that there are so many animal lovers there who want to support the work we do. This is such an exciting chance for members of the public to get more involved in our campaigns and help deliver a real difference for animals across England and Wales.

“We want to give our Super Campaigners the skills and tools to push for real change that improves the welfare of animals throughout the country. Those successful in this role will have the opportunity to develop their interpersonal skills, written communication skills, political knowledge, and independent working abilities, to list just a few.

“Campaigning starts in the community - and that's where Super Campaigners come in. If you want to have your voice heard and play an active part in improving animal welfare, please apply today!”
