About Us

The Hillingdon, Slough, Windsor, Kingston & District Branch is one of about 160 independent RSPCA branch charities. Our role is to provide vital animal welfare services within our local community and support the national RSPCA inspectorate team working in our area. We are run by a group of dedicated volunteer trustees who undertake the huge task of managing the Branch.     '                                                                                                      

Our primary aims are:                                                                                                               

-         To prevent animal cruelty and suffering

-         To promote responsible pet ownership

-         To rehabilitate and find loving new homes for unwanted, abandoned and mistreated pets

-         To provide subsidised treatment and preventative care for animals whose owners cannot afford private vet fees

As an independently registered charity, we are not centrally or government funded, and are responsible for raising funds locally to finance the work we do helping needy animals in our area. To deliver current levels of animal welfare services via our homing centre and veterinary clinic, we face the daunting task of raising more than £1 million a year through our fundraising events, donations, legacies and income from our charity shops.

Our Branch covers the large and densely populated regions of Slough, Uxbridge, Windsor, Kingston and surrounding districts, an area of almost 150 square miles.

HISTORY

The RSPCA has a long history in the local area. The veterinary clinic in Hillingdon was first opened during the Second World War in response to the many war-orphaned and abandoned animals. RAF Uxbridge supplied scraps from their cookhouse to help feed the animals. The clinic was originally a timber hut and evolved to a brick building in 1952. Our busy clinic is now based on Crescent Parade in Hillingdon.
