Skilled Volunteering with Mars Petcare

1,000 hours of free professional services for rescue

This ambitious program aims to match and connect skilled volunteers from MARS Petcare with our rescue members to deliver 1,000 hours (and thousands of dollars worth) of free professional services - from IT and finance to HR, admin and marketing.

Mars associates have had a long history of involvement with PetRescue through our partnership with PEDIGREE and, as individuals, they were actively seeking ways they could personally help rescue pets. Understanding that their professional skills and experience would be of huge and lasting value to our member rescue groups - more so than walking dogs and cleaning litter trays - we’re developing the Skilled Volunteers program in partnership with Mars Petcare.

Matching skills with rescue needs

Mars associates who choose to volunteer their time and skills will be matched with a rescue group who requires assistance in their particular field of expertise to resolve a problem or meet a challenge. Whenever possible, PetRescue will be sharing the lessons learned and results so that all PetRescue members can benefit.
