About RSPCA Coventry and District Branch - Retail
Our Branch is an independent registered charitable incorporated organisation (CIO), separately funded from the National RSPCA. We receive no government funding. It costs around £40,000 per month to keep our Animal Centre open and our vets bills are often £1,000 a week, although this can dramatically increase if we have a poorly animal in our care. We rely on donations from the general public to fund our work.
We need your support in one of our four Coventry Shops to help us generate income to support the animal centre.
