We're the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (the RSPCA) and we exist to inspire everyone to create a better world for every animal.

Every day, we change lives, laws, industries and minds so all animals can live a better life. Here’s how we do it.

Everyone for every animal

We change lives by investigating reports of cruelty and neglect as well as rescuing animals when they need us the most.
We change laws. For over 200 years, we’ve been campaigning for animals to be healthier and happier. Together with our supporters, we use our collective voice to speak up for animals.
We work with industries to end cruel practices that cause harm to animals. We push for a kinder farming system with RSPCA Assured.
We change minds. By showing people how animals and humans are connected, we can encourage everyone to create a better world for every animal.
We rally together – in communities, across England and Wales, and globally – to have the biggest impact on animals’ lives.

How we work

We are the UK's largest animal welfare charity and everything we do is based around our mission, our policies and our values.

Our vision is for a world where all animals are respected and treated with kindness and compassion
Our mission is to make sure that all animals have a good life, by rescuing and caring for those in need, by speaking on behalf of all animals and by inspiring everyone to treat them with compassion and respect.
