As a branch of the RSPCA we run independently and as a separately registered charity; this means we are largely responsible for raising our own funds locally to help animals in our area. We raise funds through a variety of events we run throughout the year, our nine charity shops, and through the generosity of the general public.
The branch is led by our CEO Paul Bennett with the aid of a committee of dedicated trustees chaired by local businessman Gary Blatt; they are supported by a small team of paid staff and a large number of committed and passionate volunteers. As an active and busy branch we rely heavily on our volunteers to carry out a variety of roles such as fundraising, fostering, home visiting, administration, shop work and much more.
