About RSPCA

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

Our strategy to 2030 will build on this strong platform as we look towards our 200th anniversary in 2024 and the years that follow.

Our eight bold ambitions to 2030 are to:

• Reduce animal neglect and cruelty by half.
• Stop illegal puppy and kitten trading.
• See more than half of all UK farm animals reared to RSPCA welfare standards.
• End severe suffering for animals used in science.
• Secure legal protection for animals. Establish an Animal Protection Commission. 06 - Achieve statutory powers in England and Wales for RSPCA inspectors.
• Secure a UN declaration for animals.
• Inspire a one million-strong movement for animal welfare by 2030.

We can't do it alone

We know that in order to create a world where all animals are respected and treated with kindness, we need governments, civil society, businesses, communities, families and individuals to share our passion for positive change. 

Our Volunteers make a huge contribution to the work we do to prevent cruelty, promote kindness to and alleviate the suffering of animals. 

Join us as a volunteer to work together for animal welfare.
