One Fun Day is an annual event on the RSPCA calendar – but this year it is extra special because the charity is celebrating its 200th anniversary – with the actual birthday day being on Sunday 16 June.
It also gives people and communities the chance to come together to support their local RSPCA branches and centres and help improve the lives of every animal as part of a million strong movement to change the lives of animals for the better.
RSPCA staff, volunteers and supporters are pulling out all the stops this year to make sure the event at Warrington is one to remember.
So save the date and join us and be part of the RSPCA’s 200th anniversary celebrations and our movement to improve animals’ lives by attending your local One Fun Day.
Kevin McFarlane from the branch said: “All money raised supports the rehabilitation and rehoming of dogs and cats that have suffered abuse and neglect.
“By attending our One Fun Day event you’ll be directly contributing to the well-being of the animals in our care. Your support means everything to us.
“Your generosity and compassion helps us provide shelter, food, and medical care to hundreds of cats and dogs every year. And it’s thanks to our supporters that we can provide them with a second chance at a happy life. So let’s come together, have fun and do some good for our furry friends.
“It’s incredible to think that our charity has been helping animals for 200 years – making us the oldest animal welfare charity in the world.
“This is such an amazing feat and one that we can’t wait to celebrate with our supporters old and new at our one fun day event
“We know the day will be one to remember and we can’t wait for people to join us in our celebrations.
“We’ve been changing industries, laws, minds, and animals’ lives for 200 years. Together, there are actions, big and small, we can take to create a better world for every animal.
“It’s amazing really how far the charity has come since 1824 – when founding members of the charity met in a coffee shop in London determined to change animals’ lives, creating the then SPCA and sparking an animal welfare movement that spread around the world.”
