Donations & Legacies

Did you know?

As a branch, although we're affiliated to the National Society, we receive no funding from it, so we rely entirely on the generosity of the local public.

Your money really does make a difference:

£4 buys 1 microchip for a cat or dog, ensuring they can be quickly reunited with their owner if they go missing
£5 will pay to keep an abandoned or unwanted cat warm fed and cared for a day.
£8 will keep an unwanted or abandoned dog warm fed and exercised for a day .
£30 will neuter 1 cat, ensuring the population of unwanted animals is kept under control

Legacies

Thank you.

Leaving a legacy in your will to the RSPCA Barnsley & District branch allows you to carry on caring for Barnsley’s animals long after you die.

Your kind gift will help us continue the fight against animal cruelty in the area and save many animals in need.

All legacy income is important to us. Even if your personal circumstances allow you to leave just a few pounds, you will help to save lives and offer a worthwhile future to abused and neglected cats, dogs and other small animals.

Please note that each branch of the RSPCA is an independently registered charity, and if you wish to leave money specifically to the Barnsley & District branch, you must specifically name our branch when making your will.
