Corporate Volunteering Days

A day out of the office that means something.

Your team will spend the day at a working sanctuary doing work that genuinely needs doing. Every task you complete frees our staff to focus on the animals in their care.

The Arrangement

You bring:

  1. A team of 6–15 people
  2. A workplace fundraiser running alongside the day - collection, raffle, dress-down, quiz
  3. Enthusiasm.
  4. No experience needed.

We provide:

  1. A full day's programme at the Sanctuary
  2. Morning briefing from our Community Manager
  3. Behind-the-scenes tour of the Sanctuary
  4. Social media and newsletter feature

£200 - £300

is what a group of 10 costs us in staff time and resources. Whatever your team raises above that goes directly to animal care. We'll give you fundraising materials, ideas, and a target - and shout loudly about what you achieve.

From first contact to impact report

Get in touch

Tell us your team size, preferred dates, and any objectives - mental health focus, skill-building, general away-day. We'll suggest a programme within a week.

Set up your fundraiser

We'll send you a fundraising pack with ideas, posters and a digital collection page. Most teams raise £200–£600 with a simple office collection or dress-down day.

Your day at Woodlands

Arrive at the Sanctuary, meet our Community Manager, and spend the day working with our team. Expect mud, animal encounters, and something worth talking about when you get back to the office.

Step three

Step four

Your impact, evidenced

We'll send a branded impact certificate detailing what your team did and what your fundraising paid for - ready for your CSR report, intranet, and social channels, and we'll also share your support on our socials and newsletters.
