Keighley, Craven & Upper Wharfedale Branch

A little bit about us

Our branch is a local, independently run branch covering almost 350 square miles of the rural craven dales. Towns and villages served by the branch include Ilkley, Keighley, Skipton, Barnoldswick, Slaidburn and Settle, Haworth & Grassington.       

Our branch is run entirely by volunteers, ranging from a team of locally elected trustees along with the support of a team of branch volunteers. The branch is almost completely self financing which means that we rely on donations from the public and businesses within our area, all the donations we receive help to continue with our vital work within the branch area.  

Our animal welfare work includes re-homing cats and dogs in branch care, fundraising and raising the profile of animal welfare issues.  

Running a branch is obviously very time consuming and our volunteers help us with a range of tasks from fostering animals to answering the phone, from fundraising events to dog walking and administration tasks. Without the help of all our volunteers the branch would not be able to operate, we always need more people to join us and help the branch. Could you spare some time for us?

We have included as much information on our website as possible and we hope you can find answers to any questions you may have, remember we are always happy to help and if you need to speak with us you can contact us in numerous ways which you can find here

Thank you for taking the time to visit the site and we hope to see you again soon.
