How you can help
All of the money raised through fundraising events, community events, general donations, our charity shops and legacies left in wills helps animals within the county that haven’t had the best life. We provide all the necessary veterinary treatment for our animals, a healthy diet, a safe place for them to stay as well as any enrichment and toys they may need.

Volunteering
As a small and independent charity, we rely on volunteers so we can carry out our vital work rescuing and helping animals have a second chance at life. Your help can make a big difference to an animal’s life, whether it’s a few hours at two events throughout the year, or a couple of days every week, the time you donate to us and the animals in our care is always greatly appreciated.

We rescue, rehabilitate and re-home approximately 700 animals a year. All our animals are cared for by a dedicated team of voluntary fosterers who provide accommodation and much needed TLC. The majority of our dogs are boarded at a local private boarding kennel, although some are also rehabilitated in a home environment by fosterers.
We really appreciate the support that is shown to us by people from the local community. One way you can help the RSPCA Northamptonshire Branch is by fundraising! There is almost no limit to the type of event or sponsorship challenge you can do and we’re here to help if you need any ideas or input.
A great way to raise money is by entering an event and asking people for Sponsorship. The sky is the limit on what you might want to do… from running a marathon to entering a pie-eating competition! It’s totally up to you. Simply decided what you’re going to do, set yourself a fundraising target and have a plan to achieve it!
