“Before joining CareDogs I often struggled with wanting to do good but being a bit shy about getting involved and not feeling like I had the time to join in. CareDogs was the perfect opportunity for me as it allowed me to put my skills in accountancy and finance to use in a flexible and meaningful way.  

My main responsibilities include managing finance-related matters, such as the annual report and bank accounts, and supporting budgets and grant writing. What I find especially interesting is working with others in the charity on questions they have regarding cash, tax or anything numbers! 

I’ve learnt a lot whilst being a Trustee - a little bit of your time can make a massive difference and communication is key when bringing together volunteers with different skills and backgrounds. 

Alex Scotland, CareDogs Trustee

The work that CareDogs does in the community is important and I am always moved by the testimonials from our volunteers and clients alike - it feels good to help others!”
