Shares his home with an adopted pug

Matt is also an avid animal lover and shares his home with his adopted pug, Alan. We welcomed Matt as an RSPCA ambassador back in 2015 after he contacted us due to his interest in animal welfare and wanting to do more to help. That year, Matt, alongside the RSPCA created the Christmas campaign #Paws4Xmas, which encouraged people to think about animals in need and raise money for our important front line rescue work at the same time. Since then, Matt has promoted the importance of pet adoption and hosted events such as our Christmas concert and taken a key role in the RSPCA Honours awards. 

Matt appreciates the way that animals improve our mental health and is a strong advocate of animal welfare and we are delighted that he continues as an RSPCA ambassador. 

"I've loved animals since I was a child. A few years ago, I realised I wanted to do more to help animals in need, so I contacted the RSPCA and asked how I could get involved. Since then I've really enjoyed being a part of this amazing charity and can't wait to continue working alongside them as they work to improve animal welfare."
