We need your help – our funds are running low

We always need help to raise funds. As is the case with many small charities many of our fund raising events are organised and staffed by only a few of our members and we are desperately in need of more people who can spare 2 hours holding a can or selling logoed goods at our instore collections.
Your help at these events will mean that we can continue to ensure our dogs and cats are well-cared for whilst they are waiting for their forever new families. Even if you cannot make the dates, or are unable to stand for long periods of time, but would like to personally help the animals in our care with a donation, just click on the MyDonate link on the right to make a secure online donation by card or, if you have a mobile phone, you can now donate by text. Alternatively, you can donate by cheque, made out to RSPCA Tameside and Glossop branch, and sent to the branch c/o Volunteer Centre Tameside, 95/97 Penny Meadow, Ashton-under-Lyne OL6 6EP, where the kind people there, will ensure that your letter and donation reach the branch safely.
Please visit our Diary dates page for a schedule of these and further fundraising events.
It’s the start of the kitten season and fosterers are urgently needed
Posted in Special Appeals
Comments Off
The branch urgently needs a local person/people who are able to foster kittens in their homes, often at short notice. Especially as the kitten season is rapidly getting underway.
The temporary home is needed for single kitten or a litter who are far too young to stay in the cattery while they wait for family to come along to give them a new home. Sometimes a these babies may be recovering from an illness so will need special round the clock care.
If we don’t have foster spaces we are unable to take in really young kittens in need because they cannot go into the cattery, so we are appealing for local people who have the space and availability to volunteer for this important role.
As an emergency kitten fosterer you may be called upon to offer space in your home at short notice, you will be given as much information about your temporary guest/s as possible and full support is provided. Your own transport is not necessary as other volunteers will be able to transport the kitten to vet appointments and meetings with potential adopters. All you need is the space, patience, time and of course the ability to provide love and care to a young animal who really needs it.
Even if you can only foster a single young cat or a couple of kittens, if you would like to help and want to know more please get in touch as a matter of urgency.

Puppy Fosterer Urgently Needed

The branch urgently needs a local person/people who are able to foster puppies in their homes, often at short notice.
More often than not, the temporary home is needed for a single puppy who is far too young to stay in kennels while he/she awaits a new home. Sometimes a puppy might be recovering from an illness so will need special round the clock care. From time to time we may even have a litter of puppies to find foster care for.
If we don’t have foster spaces we are unable to take in really young puppies in need because they cannot go into kennels, so we are appealing for local people who have the space and availability to volunteer for this important role.

Local Business Support Needed for Branch Van
Posted in Branch News and Updates, Special Appeals
Comments Off
We are looking for local businesses who would like to support the branch in the purchase and running of a small van.
Our branch has been very lucky to have been awarded a grant from the North Region of the RSPCA to help towards the purchase of a vehicle. The vehicle is needed to transport animals to and from vets, between fosterers and boarding kennels etc.
What Help is Needed?
The branch needs help with:
- Finding a suitable van (we need one that will handle rural country lanes and potholes!)
- Funding to keep the vehicle on the road
If you run a local business and you support the aims of the RSPCA we would very much like your support. Perhaps you run a local car or van dealership and have the ideal van available or you might be able to help towards running costs.
Please get in touch by email
