Ideas for Activities
| Ideas to Get Active for Starters |
Lend a hand at your nearest animal shelter, or spend a week helping one abroad. Mucking out, grooming and filling water buckets are seriously therapeutic things to do - we know, we've done it! Think of all that bending, stretching, lifting weights, pushing, pulling and walking, most probably in the fresh air.

Get involved in your local wildlife trust or local conservation society - do your bit for the countryside. Make it a family event! Find your local Wildlife Trust by clicking hereand find more on volunteering here. |
Get outside and help the RSPB or the Mammal Societywith any projects they have on. The RSPB need any old binoculars you may have but no longer want for conservation efforts around the world. For more info, click here.
|
Offer to give some time to the more timid animals at your local rescue centre. Help them regain their trust in people. |
|
Help with dog walking, or the feeding of pets for people who are ill or frail, such as the elderly. Why not volunteer for the Cinnamon Trust?
|
Do some reading up on the animal kingdom and
re-energise your mind.
|
Foster animals for a local animal charity or perhaps someone who has to go into hospital. (Some animals need to be fostered in pairs.) Foster animals come to live with you, so your lifestyle needs to suit the animal you're looking after.
|
| If you're seriously into fitness and challenges, why not take part in an Activity Challenge, such as Classic Toursoperate. |

Get your employer involved in employee volunteering. There could be a project your local charity needs a group of people to do, such as painting a building,tidying up the garden, creating a walk through a wooded area - and they are just longing for a team to come in and do it! |
