A welcome
from our
new Chief
Executive
During my first months at the
RSPCA, I've been struck by the
passion and determination of our
amazing supporters, volunteers
and staff. On multiple fronts, we're
doing so much together to make
animals' lives better.
Our purpose is to inspire everyone
to create a better world for every
animal. And the millions-strong
movement we're building for
animals is proving unstoppable.
Working with the public and others,
we helped more animals in 2025,
more quickly. But with our centres
full and costs soaring, we adapted
to give them the best experience in
our care, for example finding loving
foster homes for more pets.
I want to thank you - our loyal and
compassionate supporters - as
well as our Board, volunteers, staff
and branches. Together, we really
are building the world we want to
see for all animals.
