Want to make some furry new friends? Kildare animal charity announces volunteer recruitment event


All volunteers must be over the age of 18
The Kildare and West-Wicklow Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (KWWSPCA) is preparing to host the event at its shelter in Oldtown, Athgarvan (Eircode W12 EV60).
The charity also emphasised that volunteering is suitable to those who wish to ‘make a difference’ to the lives of animals in need.
The KWWSPCA’s recruitment drive will take place on Sunday, October 4, 2026.
The event will begin at 11am and conclude at 2pm.
It should be noted that all volunteers must be over the age of 18.
According to the KWWSPCA’s official website, it was established back in 1940.
It is run solely by volunteers who strive to rescue, care and rehome domestic animals, such as dogs and cats, throughout the Kildare and West-Wicklow regions.
The KWWSPCA also operates a charity shop, Noah’s Ark, on the Cutlery Road in Newbridge, across from the Whitewater Shopping Centre.
