The RSPCA Chesterfield & North Derbyshire Branch is a self-funding branch of the RSPCA responsible for raising funds locally to support our animal welfare work. We are a very busy animal centre servicing an area of over 400 square miles throughout Chesterfield, North Derbyshire and areas of the Peak District National Park.Our main aim is to promote responsible pet ownership and to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home those animals in need – finding them loving, permanent homes. We endeavour to make sure that all the animals in our care have a comfortable and pleasant stay with us, giving them lots of TLC before they are re-homed. The animal centre cares for up to 50 dogs, 24 cats and various other small animals including rabbits, rodents, birds and livestock, 7 days a weeks, all year round. Every year the RSPCA Chesterfield and North Derbyshire Branch cares for around 1000 animals that may have been abused, neglected or abandoned. We aim to provide care for animals most at need, which means welfare concerns and/or injured animals. We support the national RSPCA Inspectors and offer a place of safety for the animals they rescue, providing food, shelter and veterinary treatment. We carefully rehabilitate these animals before we find them loving new homes. Volunteers and the generosity of our local community play a vital role in keeping the doors of our animal centre open. To ensure we make this happen we have to raise funds to keep up with the running costs of around £437,000 per year and the vast majority of our income comes from legacies, donations, fundraising, animal adoptions and shop sales. If you are a local business who would be able to offer support for our much needed charity, please get in touch to discuss.
