Up until recently RR had regular weekend and weekday volunteers. This has dwindled for no reason other than volunteer's change of circumstances. We're now down to the point Caroline is pretty much on her own during the week, with occasional people to help with feed/waters and with a smattering of volunteers on a Saturday and maybe 1-3 on a Sunday (Sunday is Caroline's only day off).
And with rehomings up at the moment and Caroline off-site for a few hours nearly every day doing deliveries, the bunnies are not getting the pampering they should!
We get a lot of people saying they will volunteer but either getting overwhelmed by the scale or deciding they don't want to get their hands dirty after all. The only way we can reduce the numbers of bunnies at the rescue is to up volunteering and in so doing up the number of potential adoptee homes. The ultimate goal is to reduce the number of long termers at the rescue, reduce our waiting list (currently near the 60 mark) and get everything shiny and smooth running!
So this is a massive plea to find more volunteers, especially weekday!
If you can't do it, do you know any friends, relatives, vet nurses, vet students, vet wannabes who want to help??
FYI I volunteer on Sundays, albeit not every Sunday at the moment as the next two months are busy ones for me. If anyone is in St Albans (or on the A1/A505 between St Albans and Royston) I would HAPPILY give lifts to anyone willing to help!
