Fundraising

You can take part in our fundraising campaigns or if you have a challenge you are taking on, wanting to raise money in memory of a loved one, a school mufti-day - you can create a quick and easy fundraising page either on Facebook or other platforms such as Just Giving, Enthuse, Crwodfunder. You’ll be able to keep track of your progress and share your goal.

In Memory 

Losing a loved one is hard, whether it’s a relative that had a love of animals or a beloved companion that crossed the rainbow bridge. Collecting in memory of them is a great way to share their love and keep their memory alive. A way you can collect in memory of a loved one, could be at a funeral, in lieu of flowers or raise funds on their anniversaries/birthdays. Platforms such as Facebook fundraising, Enthuse and Just Giving - allow you to do this in your own time and you can customise to share your story.

Leave a Legacy 

To make a long lasting impact for future generations to come, you can leave a Legacy in your will. There are specific wording requirements to ensure the funds come to your local branch - see below an example of the correct wording; 

“I give the sum of £______(or specify percentage of estate) to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Isle of Wight Branch Registered Charity Number 205311 and I declare that the receipt of the honorary treasurer or other proper officer of the said Branch shall be a full and sufficient discharge for the said legacy. In the event of the aforesaid Branch shall no longer exist at the date of my death I give the legacy to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Wilberforce Way Southwater Horsham RH13 9RS (registered charity number 219099) for its general purposes.”

Sponsorship 

Anyone can get involved with sponsorship! Whether you are a company that could aid us with sponsorship for a specific event or an individual that would like to sponsor a building or a Kennel, Cat Pod, a run, an avery, a rabbit run etc. Just get in touch and we can discuss options - fundraising@rspca-isleofwight.org.uk 

Unwanted Item Donations 

We sometimes find ourselves in need of specific items. 

Animal supplies are always a need for us - if you have any surplus items or your pet has gone off their current food or you’d like to ensure our animals are getting the best treatment - please feel free to drop off any sealed and in date food items, toys, leads, collars, harnesses, bedding, small furries accessories, cat scratch posts and so on to our Animal Centre - Bohemia Corner, Merstone Lane, Godshill, Isle of Wight, PO38 3NA. We can also sell some of these items with the funds going back into the centre.

With our charity shops we are always looking for new exciting stock so if you have any items you’d like to donate - please pop down to your nearest shop during regular business hours and our friendly helpful teams will be able to sort for you.
