How You Can Help

Did you know that most RSPCA Branches are separately registered charities?

The RSPCA Nottingham and Notts is one of these Branches.

This means we don´t get funding from RSPCA headquarters, the Government or the National Lotto... we are on our own. The money we fundraise and donations we are given stays HERE in Nottingham to help LOCAL animals.

Animals like...

RSPCA Nottingham - Humphrey - How you can helpHumphrey...Dumped by a wheelie bin with such over grown teeth he was slowly starving to death. The picture shows Humphreys lower incisors but what you can´t see are his top ones which had curled round and were growing into his gum. Humphrey had his teeth clipped, then when he´d put on enough weight to undergo and operation, he had them removed. Humphrey now lives in the lap of luxury and is adored by his new owners and us!
Kaiser...found in a tied carrier bag at 5 weeks old, dirty, cold and huddled with his dead sibling. Kaiser was found by RSPCA Inspector Gary Eastwood. We were very worried this tiny little puppy wouldn´t survive. However, Kaiser came through his ordeal happy and healthy and has since helped collect hundreds of pounds over the years for other Nottingham animals who need our help.
RSPCA Nottingham - Humphrey - How you can helpMoomin...is a Birman Cat. Birmans, like Persian have very long fur. Moomin´s coat was SO badly matted she couldn´t hold her head up. She was found wandering the streets confused and hungry. Moomin was terribly thin, itchy and suffering from an upper respiratory condition. After being clipped, given regular meals and lots of vets visits, Moomin turned the corner. She is pictured here in her unique jumper made by Branch as she was feeling the cold after losing her coat. Moomin has been adopted by a very special couple who love her and care for all her needs and she´s now in the kind of home ALL animals deserve.
ALL THESE ANIMALS WERE FOUND RIGHT HERE IN NOTTINGHAM. We are their local RSPCA but, without people like YOU, who helped us pay for the veterinary treatment these animals required, helped us to house them in safe, warm and comfortable accommodation, helped pay for feeding and care for the duration of their stay with us, who knows what their fate would have been?

Hundreds of animals like Humphrey, Kaiser and Moomin are taken in by the Branch every year, it costs thousands of pounds to ensure that we CAN help and look after those animals who have no-one else to turn to. Here are some ways you can help animals living in YOUR area who need you...

ANIMALS ADOPTED

Tibs
We can't make our minds up who looks the most content in this FANTASTIC photo, 'Tibs' the ginger tom or Sandra his new owner! Either way, photo's like these are what make our job worth it...an animal happy in the home he quite rightly deserves!

Leaving a legacy or bequest

Remembering local animals in your will and leaving the RSPCA Nottingham and Notts Branch a legacy or bequest provides VITAL funds. We simply could not carry on without the kind support of people remembering us in their will.

As all RSPCA Branches are SEPARATELY REGISTERED CHARITIES, if you want your gift to help animals close to where you live, you must advise your solicitor to state this clearly in your will. Please ask him or her to write the Branch name and registered charity number.

Volunteering

There are SO many ways you can help us by volunteering. Here are just a few...

Fundraising - This is the single most vital form of volunteering as without funds, we cannot do anything. You can actively fundraise by taking part in house-to-house/envelope collections, store collections, sponsorship, and self manned events/sales in aid of your local RSPCA.

Collecting clothing and bric-a-brac - for sale in our charity shops

Events - We are always in need of volunteers to help out at our Annual Sponsored Dog Walk held in May

Collecting prizes for raffle/tombola stalls

Volunteering in our shops - help is ALWAYS needed in our charity shops. We need people to work on the counter as well as behind the scenes sorting.

Promoting RSPCA Campaigns locally

Helping us raise funds by selling Raffle tickets

Working with animals - always the most popular subject we are asked about. Unfortunately, the opportunity for ´hands on´ work is very limited. However, the above listed ways to help are essential in keeping the Branch running. Your time, however little you can spare, is vital and appreciated by us but more importantly, appreciated by the animals.

If you have 5 minutes to spare or 5 hours, please contact us and we will happily find you a worthwhile way of filling the time!
