OUR
BRANCH
NETWORK
These dedicated volunteers take in animals rescued by our
Inspectorate, rehabilitate them and find them loving homes or
release them. They also help local people keep their pets safe
and well, and encourage everyone to make animals' lives better.
They are often first to know when a new animal welfare crisis
is about to explode - and when it does, they're ready for it.
RSPCA BRANCHES WORK IN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITIES TO
HELP PROTECT ANIMALS.

Vital support in
hard times
"My pets are my
family. I have
struggled to feed
them and have
gone without food
to make sure they
didn't go hungry.
Getting help for
them makes such
a difference."
Those are the words of a woman who
relied on our pet food bank scheme
to help feed her precious pets in 2023.
She's just one of many thousands
who have faced stark choices over
recent years. During the pandemic,
our branches quickly spotted the
impact on animals of growing
financial hardship in communities.
They began the scheme to help
people keep their pets, and demand
soared throughout 2023.
To help owners keep their animals, we
committed £1.5 million to our pet
food bank partnerships. We worked
with food bank projects across
England and Wales to supply donated
pet food wherever it was needed.
We also ran community events for
owners to have pets checked at
mobile clinics, with advice, flea and
worm treatments and other petcare
necessities on offer.
IN 2023 OUR PET FOOD BANK PARTNERSHIP
PROVIDED 1.3 MILLION DAILY PET FOOD MEALS.
