RSPCA Cymru has opened up applications for a new band of Super Campaigners, a volunteering role for individuals, who want to immerse themselves in RSPCA campaigning activities to help improve animal welfare.
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.
Other roles may be to attend and to help prepare for freshers fairs, engage with local Members of Senedd's and help the RSPCA improve the lives of animals with Wales-specific campaigns.
All Super Campaigners will need is a laptop and wifi. There are no interviews in the application process at present, only a written application is required with reference checks.
RSPCA campaigns officer, Christa Harwood, said: "We know that there are so many animal lovers across Wales who want to support our work and for every kind. 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 Wales - and England too!
"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!"
One of the current RSPCA Super Campaigners is Judith Vaughan who joined the team in April 2022.

"Being a Super Campaigner is such a rewarding role, and to be part of the RSPCA during its 200th anniversary as we strive to create a better world for every kind, is such an amazing time to be involved," said Judith.
"One of my favourite moments has been organising a litter pick in March for the Great British Spring Clean campaign. A large group of residents, including children, joined in picking up a gigantic 21 sacks of litter from our local main road.
"Unfortunately it seems to be a favourite spot for people to hurl their empty cans, fast food containers, and gas canisters and unspeakable (full) bottles of liquid presumably from long haul truck drivers as they go past.
"We've been asked if we can do one four times a year so we will have another planned for June, September and December. It has been great to see how we can all help join together to make a difference in our communities."
In December Judith won the RSPCA Advocacy Award, and in May attended a King's Garden Party at Buckingham Palace.
Judith said: "I never thought this could be remotely on the cards and was thrilled to bits. Thank you RSPCA and I can't wait to continue supporting and advocating for every kind."
