We are a separately registered charity working within the Rules, Policies and Guidelines of the national RSPCA. Our governing document is the RSPCA Society’s Branch Rules. Guildford and Epsom branch is, responsible for our own funding and for managing local animal welfare work.
The Branch promotes animal welfare in the local area primarily through veterinary assistance, neutering and re-homing.
• Where funds permit, the Branch takes in abandoned animals, including pets whose owners suffer ill health or financial difficulties, or pass away.
• We respond to enquiries from the public about animals and offer free animal care advice by phone, social media, via leaflets and at our events, which promotes responsible pet ownership.
• We also support the national RSPCA by caring for animals taken in by the Inspectorate if there is no space at the national animal centres.
• We have a website to raise awareness of the activities of the Branch and to help members get more involved.
• We undertake educational presentations and workshops with local groups and schools.
Volunteers have and always will be crucial to the RSPCA. We need people like you to help promote kindness and prevent cruelty to animals. You would probably be surprised at how many different ways there are to achieve this. All volunteer roles; even those not directly interacting with animals, have a significant impact on animal welfare and support the vital work we do.
Since 1824 the RSPCA has worked tirelessly to promote kindness and prevent cruelty to animals.
