Rehoming day volunteers

Do you have a passion for animals and some time to spare at the weekend? If so, we’ve got your next volunteering role sorted.

Supporting the British Hen Welfare Trust’s rehoming team in your area means you get to send hundreds of hens at at time off to become much-loved pets, instead of facing slaughter.

These hardworking ex-commercial laying hens deserve a free-range retirement, and you can play a vital part in making that a reality for them.

If you have some time spare every few weeks on a Saturday or Sunday to spend surrounding by flapping wings and feathers, we’d love you to join our team as our next rehoming volunteer.
