Paddling pool day for Willow π
A few weeks ago, National RSPCA launched its new brand, with new adverts, posters and articles. We thought it would be nice to share little video which explains some of the reasons behind the change. Clearly with any rebrand, comes some cost, but the aim here is that the support generated, far outweighs the outlay and ultimately, more animals are helped. As one of around 140 RSPCA branches, we are a separately registered charity, raising our own income to pay for all the animal welfare work we do. We will be gradually moving over to the new brand over the next year. With this change, comes opportunity for any local business who may wish to sponsor some of our branded items. These include vet staff uniforms, volunteer t-shirts/running vests, gazebos, flags/banners and potentially a branch van. Please let us know if you think you can help ππΎ

Pets Foundation asked us to make a short video to talk about the importance of our partnership with them and our good friends in Pets At Home Ipswich Martlesham .
