There are seven RSPCA branch fundraisers in the South West to support
Join our animal welfare movement TODAY!
Crowdfunder and the RSPCA have teamed up to launch #EveryoneForEveryAnimal, a new campaign to create a better world for every animal.
Nearly 60 RSPCA branches across England and Wales have launched their own fundraisers to raise money for their own animal welfare projects in their own communities. Many of the branches have also included unique rewards for their supporters as part of their fundraisers, from tours of their centre and RSPCA branded items.
In the South West here are seven branches who have launched fundraisers:
- RSPCA Bath and District Branch – with more than 80 cattery pods and over 50 kennel spaces, the branch is aiming to raise £8,000 which is roughly a fifth of their annual heating costs. The branch has seen its heating costs rise by 137% in the past year.
- RSPCA South East Somerset Branch – donations will go towards buying a suitable van for our new Community Animal Welfare Officer.
- Bristol Animal Rescue Centre – funds will go towards sprucing up their cattery doors this spring. The branch needs to raise £12,000 to create the perfect upgrade for their cats by replacing 20 doors.
- RSPCA Devon Branch – donations will go to a Serenity Garden project at its Little Valley Animal Shelter. The project aims to transform the field into a multi-use space that welcomes the community, commemorates the lives of animals, and increases the biodiversity of this area and encourages wildlife and habitat creation for many species.
- RSPCA West Dorset Branch – donations will go towards building a new state of the art rabbit runs to make life better for the rabbits in their care.
- RSPCA Cotswolds, Gloucester & District Branch – donations will go towards their ongoing work in the community. The branch’s rehoming waiting lists are fast growing and they are experiencing more people are struggling to afford their pet’s care, which has resulted in an increase in animals arriving at the centre with ongoing and untreated medical conditions.
- RSPCA Cornwall Branch – donations will go towards their goal of raising as much as they can towards a new kennel project costing £500,000.
There are also four national Crowdfunders which have been launched by the RSPCA which aim to raise funds for a number of RSPCA projects.
- Win a Coronation Street tour & help RSPCA rescuers
- Win a signed Charlie Mackesy print & support RSPCA
- See Wicked & help the RSPCA Pet Food Bank project
- Will you help pets access the vet care they need?
As the RSPCA enters its landmark 200th anniversary year – the charity wants to inspire a one million strong movement for animals, as the charity aims to “create a better world for every animal”.
Dermot Murphy, RSPCA Inspectorate Commissioner said: “For almost two centuries, the RSPCA has been changing minds, laws, industries and lives to create a better world for animals and people alike. We have come a long way in 200 years but there is still so much more to do.
“Animals are now facing bigger challenges than ever as a result of factory farming, climate change, war and a cost of living crisis. In our 200th year we want to inspire one million people to join our movement to improve animals’ lives.
“We are incredibly proud of our network of branches across England and Wales and their dedication to animal welfare in their communities. We hope this campaign and their individual fundraisers will ensure they are able to continue to help more animals across their regions.”
The RSPCA has come a long way since 1824 – when founding members of the charity met in a coffee shop in London determined to change animals’ lives, creating the then SPCA and sparking an animal welfare movement that spread around the world.
Since then the charity has been changing industries, laws, minds and animals’ lives for 200 years, and in the last ten years alone has found homes for over 405,000 pets in need thanks to a network of 140 branches and animal centres across England and Wales.
Veterinary treatment has also gone to 1.7 million animals, and by working together with food banks and our branches the RSPCA has delivered 1.5 million pet meals to help struggling owners.
