Want to get involved with our group?

Got a few hours to spare each month?

If so- RSPB Leicester Local Group are looking for a Treasurer to handle simple transactions and accounting. This volunteer role ensures the great work we deliver carries on- into the future.

You don't need to be a wildlife expert- we just need friendly people who are passionate about nature to help with a few tasks.

Our volunteer opportunities are flexible and can fit around busy lives. A big positive of joining our volunteer team (apart from the biscuits)- is that you'll meet like minded people who are always happy to share their knowledge with people who are newer to birding and wildlife.

Want to know more? Visit our group at an upcoming activity or contact [email protected] for an informal and friendly chat. We hope you'll join us in making a big difference for nature and people.
