As we turn to August, our focus for the 5 Ways to Wellbeing campaign is on Animals and Conservation.

With such a lush and vibrant landscape, Cornwall is home to all manner of wildlife and a mix of small and large charities work year-long to protect them and their habitats. Much of this work is heavily reliant on the support of local volunteers.

 As a volunteer, you might like to get involved in tidying up a nature habitat, monitoring and reporting on local wildlife, helping to care for sick animals, planting and growing to help revitilise nature... the list of possible opportunties goes on.

Whether you want to give an hour of your time to help on a one-off conservation day or become a dedicated member of a local volunteering team, you can find activities to get involved in on our website: https://opportunities.volunteercornwall.org.uk/

If you want to find an opportunity closer to home, try asking at your local Community Hub if they, or any charity or community group they are aware of, might need some support. Alternatively, email us at This email address is being protected from spambots.
