A big thank you to everyone who supported the branch during pet adoption week 2008. We were out and about during the week promoting the animals in our care looking for loving home. We also collected 83.06 in donations. Thank you to everyone for your generosity.
Supporting the branch - local animals in need of your help...
RSPCA branches do not receive aid from headquarters, the government or lottery aid. Therefore your support is vital for animal welfare in your area...
The RSPCA Chesterfield & North Derbyshire branch takes in and re-homes around 1,000 abandoned, unwanted and mistreated animals each year.
How you can help the animal centre
Raising the necessary funds to operate the animal centre is a constant headache. We have a small number of very dedicated volunteers who man stalls at various events, do voluntary driving duties, donate time to the charity shop, help care for the animals at the centre and also do homevisiting. Without their generous support the animal centre could not operate properly and life would be very difficult.
These are just some of the ways you can help and make a real difference
Legacies & Bequests
A legacy or bequest to your local RSPCA can provide crucial funds. We could not carry out our work without such generous support. But please remember all RSPCA branches are separately registered charities, so if you want your gift to help animals near you, you must ask your solicitor to make it clear in your will. Ask your solicitor to quote our branch name and registered charity number so your gift will go directly to your local RSPCA branch.

As a charity we have to rely on the practical, long-term generosity of people like you to help us care for the hundreds of animals that are brought to us each year.
If you would like to make a monetary donation to the RSPCA Chesterfield & North Derbyshire branch, please send cheques or postal orders made payable to the RSPCA Chesterfield Branch to the animal centre or simply call in.
We also are very grateful for donations of bric-a-brac, clothing and toys. Bric-a-brac and clothing can be taken to either our charity shop in the Chesterfield Market Hall or the animal centre.
The animal centre is always in need of donations of pet food, treats, toys, collars, leads, towels, blankets and sheets for bedding.
Below are other ways of donating to the animal centre you may not have thought of:
Just £1.50 taken automatically out of your wages each week can make all the difference, that's just 21p a day!
Just £5 taken out of your bank account each month will guarantee our centre a regular income and that's as little as 16p a day. If you want to help the animals then please contact the animal centre for a committed giving form
Donating to charity through your self assessment tax return will be as simple as entering a unique number on your return. Individuals will be able to nominate a charity to receive their tax repayment as a donation.
The Chesterfield and North Derbyshire branch of the RSPCA has already registered with the inland revenue to be able to receive donations this way.
LAA93HG is the unique code number you will need to quote on your self assessment tax return for your donation to benefit the needy animals in the care of the Chesterfield and North Derbyshire branch of the RSPCA.
Volunteering & Fundraising
We rely on volunteers to carry out a variety of duties to help the running of the animal centre, from fundraising to dog walking, volunteers play a vital role at the animal centre and are absolutely vital for the branch to remain open and for our work to continue. Your skills and abilities could make a real difference to the animals in our care.
If you have a bit of time to spare and are interested in helping, please download a volunteer application form and a skills audit form. Once both these forms have been completed they are to be sent to the animal centre for your application to be processed. If you are unable to download and print these forms please call 01246 273358 or info@chesterfield-rspca.org.uk
