Corporate Volunteering

Register Your Interest in Corporate Volunteering

To register your organisation’s interest please fill in this form with some details about your team and will get back to you when opportunities arise to discuss options.

At present, we have limited Corporate Volunteer Days available at the Home itself, but we do offer several meaningful ways for you and your team to get involved, support the Home and the animals in our care:

Bespoke Skills & Personal Development Courses 

We offer three Skills & Personal Development Courses that can be delivered at your business, group or workplace: 

Dog First Aid 

• This course covers the basics of dog first aid, helping your team prepare for common dog emergencies. This course is regulated by SQA accreditation, and your staff will receive a certificate from the SQA on completion of the course.  Half day and full day courses available. 

Cat First Aid

• This course will equip you with the vital skills and knowledge to help your feline friend when they need it most. Your team will be prepared to deal with common cat emergencies such as bleeding, bandaging, restraints, CPR and environmental hazards. Full day course.

Dog Body Language 

• This course is perfect for businesses that either already have or are planning to create a dog-friendly workplace. It helps your team develop a deeper understanding of what dogs are trying to communicate. By gaining these skills, transitioning to or maintaining a dog-friendly workspace becomes easier and more enjoyable for everyone. 
• The course also equips individuals with the knowledge of how to create a positive environment for both people and pets.  

These courses are open to everyone, at all skill levels and can be delivered either at your office (in a meeting room) or at the Home here at Seafield, depending on availability. We’ll also talk to your group about the work we do here at the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home.  

By signing up for these courses, you’ll not only be directly supporting the vital work we do at the Home but also providing your staff with a valuable new skill. There is a fee associated with the courses to cover the cost of the training, and we’d be happy to discuss pricing based on your preferred location. This can be an excellent CPD opportunity for your staff.
