Help Us Feed, Heal and Shelter Animals in Need

Every day, RSPCA Essex Mid & North is dedicated to rescuing and caring for animals in desperate need of help. Your donations play a vital role in enabling us to provide food, veterinary care and shelter for the many pets that come into our care.

Upon arrival, all pets undergo a thorough health check by a vet and receive essential treatments. This includes microchipping, vaccinations, flea and worm treatments and neutering. Many of our older animals, affectionately known as “golden oldies,” require additional care, such as dental treatments, before they’re ready to move on to their forever homes.

The cost of boarding alone averages between £5 and £10 per day, depending on the type of animal and the level of care required. These fees, combined with medical costs, add up quickly – but every penny ensures these animals receive the love and care they need while they wait for their new families.

In addition to rehoming efforts, we operate two welfare clinics, offering vital veterinary treatment for pets whose owners are on low incomes. These clinics provide a lifeline to struggling families and help ensure pets can remain with their loving owners.

We simply cannot do this without your support. Your donations – whether one-off gifts or regular contributions – enable us to continue providing this essential work in the community.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid is a government scheme that helps your support go further. If you’re a UK taxpayer and opt-in to Gift Aid, the RSPCA can claim an extra 25p for every £1 donated, at no extra cost to you. That’s as long as you’ve paid the basic rate of tax and donated from your own funds.

This means Gift Aid can increase the value of your donations by 25%, making your donations go further for animals.

How does it work?

When you add Gift Aid to your donation, the government gives us 25% more, at no extra cost to you.

If you pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year, it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

Opting in to Gift Aid transforms every £1 you have given in the past 4 years and in the future into £1.25 at no additional cost to you.

You can Gift Aid any donations you make. For example, if you make a cash, cheque or debit card donation or donate items for us to sell in our shops – you can Gift Aid it!
