ANNUAL REVIEW 2022 27
A garden for
a good cause
Putting wildlife on show
at Chelsea.
We were delighted to win
funding from Project Giving
Back to exhibit a 'sanctuary
garden' at the RHS Chelsea
Flower Show 2023. A decision
was made to make it a wildlifefriendly
garden, inspiring
visitors to create habitats in their
own outdoor spaces.
Garden designer Martyn Wilson
spent 2022 working with RSPCA
experts to plan a stylish, modern
garden where birds, mammals,
and insects could thrive. Plans
were also made for the garden to
be relocated to RSPCA Stapeley
Grange Wildlife Centre after the
show, for local communities to
enjoy and learn from it.
Goodbye to our Queen
As we said goodbye to Queen Elizabeth II, we remembered her deep love of animals.
At the Queen's funeral, it was moving to see her
Fell pony Emma wearing a black saddle cloth and
one of the Queen's headscarves across her saddle.
Her corgis Muick and Sandy were also seen -
a reminder to everyone watching that the UK is
a nation of animal lovers.
Queen Elizabeth II's patronage of the RSPCA made
a powerful statement: that animals have a vital role
in our society and that their welfare matters. In her
memory, we will become an even stronger voice
for animals.
