Together We Can Make A Difference

It’s that time of year and many are making new year’s resolutions, or at least reviewing what they want more of in their lives. If that’s you and you’d like to know how to support your local RSPCA there are so many ways to be involved, whether its your time, energy or other. Here are some ideas that may help for inspiration:

Volunteer in the shop

Volunteering in any of our shops is such a great thing to do. It can be a really sociable way to support our fundraising efforts. Many of our volunteers support with just a few hours a week but if you don’t have regular times you are available we could still use your support on whatever days or hours suit you. With our new Tooting shop there is even more opportunity to get involved.

Foster Homes

We rely on fosterers to provide temporary homes for the animals in our care. Fostering an animal is such a great thing to do and can help animals recover from neglect, abuse, illness or injury. It can be the first step towards finding a new, loving forever home. Also, when you foster an animal you’ll also be freeing up space in our centres so that we can rescue more animals in desperate need.

Drivers Needed

We are always on the look out for support from people who can drive, and it doesn’t matter what type of car you have. Your support in South London could range from helping with vet visits to transporting donated stock from one shop to another, and you can support on an ad hoc basis if that’s all you are able to do. You can also claim back the cost of petrol.

Fundraising

Do your year plans include a fundraising event? If you’re planning to run a race, sit in a tub of baked beans or run a cake sale we can support you. We have a number of events you can sign up to through us, or organise your own. It’s a great way to challenge what you can do and get that sense of achievement. For inspiration click here

If you don’t have the time right now but would love to support animal welfare in your South London area you can donate here, or explore other ways to support us here. However, with so many options and a good heart it can be challenging to know where to start, so why not email us and introduce yourself and we can take it from there! office@rspcasouthlondon.org.uk.
