We have had some incredible donations at our Frinton Charity Shop. Just take a look at some of these beutiful gifts, wonderfully displayed by our brilliant team of staff and volunteers over on the Sunshine Coast. The generous donor of these items also kindly filld out a Gift Aid declaration so we can claim an extra 25% from HMRC - that'll help a lot of animals in our care.
Pop down to 68 Connaught Avenue to see the goods for yourself 💙🐾☺

We had lots of great toys donated over the weekend and these are on their way to be sold at our Prettygate Shop in Colchester. The money we make in our charity shops goes to help all of our animal welfare work including caring for animals rescued by the RSPCA Inspectors. Del Boy and Willow think it's great too.

Paddling pool day for Willow 😃

A few weeks ago, National RSPCA launched its new brand, with new adverts, posters and articles. We thought it would be nice to share little video which explains some of the reasons behind the change. Clearly with any rebrand, comes some cost, but the aim here is that the support generated, far outweighs the outlay and ultimately, more animals are helped. As one of around 140 RSPCA branches, we are a separately registered charity, raising our own income to pay for all the animal welfare work we do. We will be gradually moving over to the new brand over the next year. With this change, comes opportunity for any local business who may wish to sponsor some of our branded items. These include vet staff uniforms, volunteer t-shirts/running vests, gazebos, flags/banners and potentially a branch van. Please let us know if you think you can help 💙🐾

Quickfire 5 Questions with Willow. We ran out of time putting to publish this one during the Crowdfunding Campaign, but thought you might want to hear the opinions of a 6 month old lab puppy anyway. Whilst the Crowdfunder has stopped donations are always gratefully received here https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=WKH37SAPPZXPQ

We’re proudly a nation of animal lovers…with 57% of UK households owning a pet. Millions of us enjoy moments like these. However, we know that many animals aren’t so fortunate and it’s our responsibility to help give them a voice. Please take two minutes to help us provide the care that is so desperately needed - please follow the link in the bio #rspca #essex #staffy #staffygram #cats #catsofinstagram #catsanddogs #fundraising #charity #rspcaessex #staffylove #staffymoments #crowdfunding #kindness #care

Pets Foundation asked us to make a short video to talk about the importance of our partnership with them and our good friends in Pets At Home Ipswich Martlesham . Willow rose to the challenge armed only with one Sharpie, half a reem of A4 a few snacks and a volunteer human. As today marks the first day of Pets at Home's Easter Appeal we thought you might like to see it 😊 🐾💙 #everyoneforeveryanimal

Please note: Our animal care advice aims to help owners meet their animal’s needs as required by law. We receive many calls from members of the public concerned about the welfare of animals, each one is assessed to determine the level of suffering. As a charity with limited resources we’re not always able to respond in the way that would be ideal or as quickly as the emergency services can. In some instances we may not be able to respond at all, due to the way the RSPCA must prioritise the welfare concerns that are brought to our attention.
