Welcome to the RSPCA Barnsley and District Branch

The Barnsley Branch of the RSPCA has existed for more than 40 years and the National Society has more than 90 local members. The Barnsley Branch is run by a committee of volunteer trustees, many of whom have full time jobs elsewhere. The Branch costs over £3,000 per month to run. This money is raised in the local area by volunteers through fundraising, donations, events and legacies.

How you can help Barnsley & District RSPCA without giving us a penny

Shop Online and Raise Money!

Have you heard about easyfundraising yet? It’s the easiest way to help raise money for RSPCA Barnsley & District! If you already shop online with retailers such as Amazon, M&S, Argos, John Lewis, Comet, Vodafone, eBay, Boden and Play.com, then we need you to sign up for free to raise money while you shop!

So how does it work?

You shop directly with the retailer as you would normally, but if you sign up to http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/rspcabarnsley for free and use the links on the easyfundraising site to take you to the retailer, then a percentage of whatever you spend comes directly to us at no extra cost to yourself.

How much can you raise?

Spend £100 with M&S online or Amazon and you raise £2.50 for us. £100 with WH Smith puts £2.00 in our pocket and so on. There's over 2,000 retailers on their site, and some of the donations can be as much as 15% of your purchase.

Save money too!

easyfundraising is FREE to use plus you'll get access to hundreds of exclusive discounts and voucher codes, so not only will you be helping us, you’ll be saving money yourself.

We desperately need your help to keep donations coming in. Sign up at http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/rspcabarnsley and start making a difference...simply by shopping.

Thanks!

EBay for Charity

How does getting rid of some of your unwanted 'stuff' and raising a little cash for yourself, while also helping your favourite charity sound?

When selling on eBay for charity, you are able to choose how much of your profits you would like to give to your chosen charity. When selling on the website, eBay will take a small amount of your profits as a charge, but the great thing about selling on eBay for charity is that they will reduce their fees to account for the amount of money that you give to charity…so, it all adds up.

Selling on eBay for charity is fun, easy and will put some extra cash in your pocket, as well as helping your favourite cause at the same time. Why not give it a try?

Even if you are not having a clear out, you can still help raise money for Barnsley and District RSPCA through eBay; remember to look out for items that other people are selling for us on the site as well as saving Barnsley and District RSPCA as your favourite charity on eBay which will give you the option of donating £1 to us each time you pay for an item.

Contact Information and Telephone Numbers

Please note that all of our phone lines are manned by volunteers. This does mean that on occasion we will not be able to answer your call. Because of this there are guidelines to consider when calling the numbers.

If you have an emergency situation or would like to report an act of cruelty (for any animal) please do not contact the branch lines and call the society directly on 0300 1234 999. If you do call one of the branch lines and it is to report cruelty or an emergency situation you will be asked to contact the society directly.

If you would like to adopt any of our animals, please contact the relevant branch number. Please note that we cannot always take in unwanted animals for re-homing as we simply do not have the space. There are other animal charities in Barnsley and we would suggest that you contact those to discuss the possibility of re-homing with them.

All branch contact numbers have an answering machine service and we ask that if it is important you leave a message and we will aim to return your call within 24 hours. If you leave a message that is in regards to a report of cruelty, animal emergency or is about an animal other than the one the phone line is dedicated to then we will not return your call.

Please note that these guidelines have been put in place to help us manage our volunteer’s time as they are all extremely busy. If you think you could volunteer to help the branch in the future then please let us know as any help is greatly received!

Thanks

Please be aware that there are people operating in the Barnsley area that claim to be part of the rspca (either this branch or others in the Yorkshire area) but are not connected with the society on any level and are therefore collecting funds illegally. Unfortunately these funds do not come to the society and are not accounted for. If you are asked to donate money to the society and are not sure whether they are official collectors (a full photo list of existing committee members and volunteers will be available on this site shortly) then please contact the volunteer co-ordinator directly on 07935 051 038 to discuss your concerns. We appreciate your vigilance during these times and if you would like to donate money then please either donate via our link on this website or send a cheque to the following address rather than passing money to individuals:

PO Box 4852
