What I found out...

How does the RSPCA aim to promote kindness and prevent cruelty to animals?

The RSPCA aims to promote kindness and prevent cruelty by being the leading provider of animal welfare in education, working with teachers to continuously plan for animal welfare education in the curriculum, saving teachers time by providing exciting and engaging, tried and tested, curriculum linked resources, providing training, information and advice about animal welfare education and providing educational resources and services to teachers. Please ensure you read further information on the RSPCA's education website. If you click on a link below I can load the page for you behind this window.

What do the RSPCA branches do?

They raise funds locally for local animals. The majority of people working for branches are volunteers who are not available full time. The common practice is for branches to use an answerphone and callers should use this service. Branches will, when possible, provide re-homing services, adoption services and welfare assistance. Additionally, there are around 215 RSPCA shops. We recognise the valuable support we receive from the branches in delivering our animal welfare aims and provide both financial and other support to them.
