YOUR LOCAL RSPCA
• Each branch is an independent
charity, operating under the
RSPCA's name
• Branches are run mostly by
dedicated volunteers who
want to create a better world
for animals
• Every branch is different,
but most care for, foster and
rehome animals
• Our branches have lots of
volunteering opportunities for
people with all sorts of skills
OUR BRANCHES ARE A MASSIVE PART OF THE WORK WE DO!
WITH A NETWORK OF AROUND 137 BRANCHES ACROSS
ENGLAND AND WALES, THEY'RE OUR LOCAL PRESENCE,
BRINGING THE RSPCA INTO YOUR COMMUNITIES.
What do branches do?
Every branch is different and offers its own mix of activities. They might offer
advice, microchipping, neutering, and subsidised animal treatments. Most
care for, foster, rehabilitate and rehome animals taken in by our inspectors
and through their clinics and animal centres. Many also run pet food banks
to help owners struggling with the cost of caring for their animals - find
your nearest pet food bank to donate or receive at: rspca.org.uk/costofliving
Branches all raise their own funds and might run fairs, dog shows and other
events, so keep a lookout.
What about RSPCA shops?
The RSPCA charity shops you see on your high street are run by our branches.
Shops are one of the branches' main sources of income, so donations to sell
and shoppers to buy are both welcome.
How can I get involved?
Our branches are often looking for kind people like you to volunteer and
help out. This could be in a shop - behind the counter or in the stockroom.
Or maybe you could spend time cleaning kennels, socialising cats, or walking
dogs? Whatever your skills, there are so many ways you can put them to good
use for animals - check out the volunteering opportunities near you at:
rspca.org.uk/volunteer
If you're not able to volunteer your time, our branches will appreciate
donations or items for their shops or summer raffles and tombolas. Find
your nearest branch and ask what they need at: rspca.org.uk/yourlocal
