The RSPCA has been helping animals and their owners in the Scarborough and the surrounding districts since 1867.  We are proud to be one of the oldest branches in the oldest animal welfare charity in the United Kingdom.

As a separately registered charity, RSPCA Scarborough & District Branch raises money to deliver vital animal welfare services locally.  We are self-funded and although we are supported by and work in partnership with RSPCA National Society the money we spend is raised in Scarborough the surrounding districts.  We are responsible for the area stretching between Whitby, Scarborough & Filey over to Pickering & Helmsley, including all the villages in between.

To ensure the continuation of your local RSPCA branch - money has to be raised in the local area, by staff and volunteers through fundraising, donations and legacies.  We do not receive any funding from the government or local authority.  Income is also generated by our charity shop and thanks to generous donations and support from people like you, we are able to rehome animals that have come to us following rescue from cruelty or neglect, or whose owners are no longer able to care for them.
