Annual General Meeting ('AGM')

Our board of trustees helps ensure we meet our objectives. Find out more about their role in the AGM.

RSPCA 197th Annual General Meeting (‘AGM’)

The RSPCA’s 197th Annual General Meeting is being held online on Saturday 3 October 2026 from 10.00am to 12.00 noon. It will take place via the same online platform hosted by Civica Election Services as previous years

The AGM is a meeting for RSPCA members. Under the RSPCA Rules an AGM is held once a year for the purpose of receiving the annual statement of accounts and the Trustees’ annual report, and transacting such other of the Society’s business as may be necessary.

The Trustees’ Report and Accounts 2025 can be viewed at www.rspca.org.uk/whatwedo/press/publications/reports

Notice of the AGM together with the AGM Agenda and papers have been sent to all RSPCA members. This includes details on how members can login and attend the meeting or alternatively vote by proxy (where eligible).

Please note that Members who have provided an email address on their membership record will be sent their AGM materials by email from the Society’s independent election scrutineers, Civica Election Services Ltd. The email will come from the email address takepart@cesvotes.com and not the RSPCA so please ensure you check your Spam/Junk folders if this doesn’t arrive in your usual inbox. If you have not received your email or are unsure whether the email you have received is legitimate please contact the AGM Team directly at agmteam@rspca.org.uk.

Any member who has not provided an email address will receive them in the post in the next few days. If you do not receive them within a week please contact the AGM Team at agmteam@rspca.org.uk urgently so we can arrange a replacement to be sent out to you.

Proxy Vote - Revocation Deadline

Eligible RSPCA members who are able to vote on resolutions at this year’s meeting will also be sent a Proxy Notice Form (or access to the online form) to appoint the Chair of the meeting to attend and vote on resolutions on your behalf if you are unable to attend.

The deadline to submit your Proxy Notice form is Friday 25 September 2026 at 3pm and full details of how to submit this to Civica Election Services will be available in your packs.

Please note that an appointment under a proxy notice may be revoked. This can be done by delivering notice to this effect in writing to Civica at: Civica Election Services, The Election Centre, 33 Clarendon Road, London, N8 0NW by no later than 3PM on FRIDAY 25 SEPTEMBER 2026. Once a proxy has been appointed, members who then seek to attend the AGM themselves may only be admitted as an observer (i.e. they will not be able to vote or ask questions at the meeting) unless their proxy appointment has been validly revoked.
