Gift in will
We save lives and we change lives
At our small centre, we rescue, rehabilitate and rehome hundreds of abused, neglected, unwanted and abandoned animals every year. We're an independent charity and we have to raise over £12,000 per week to run our animal centre as we receive no funding from the government or national RSPCA.
With your help, we can be here for future generations of animals who need safety, shelter, love and care.
By making your will through our partner, the National Free Wills Network, you’ll be connected with a qualified solicitor who is local to you. They’ll help you write or amend a simple will for free and you'll have the option to leave a gift to us if you wish.
There are three main types of gift you can leave:
• Residuary – A percentage of your estate after your other beneficiaries have been provided for
• Pecuniary – A fixed sum of money
• Specific – A particular item, such as property, antiques, jewellery or shares.
Your solicitor will take care of the rest. They’ll help you decide what’s right for you and make you aware of everything you need to consider when making or amending your will.
If you would like to know more about the work we do or would like to discuss the process of making your will for free, we would love to have a chat - just click the button below to fill out a short form, and our Branch Manager, Penny, will be in touch.
A secure future for animals
Your gift will help us be here for generations to come
We have been caring for animals for over 150 years and the sad reality is that animals will continue to need us for the next 150 years. Whether abused, neglected, abandoned or simply unwanted, animals rely on us when they have no where else to go. By leaving a gift to us in your will, you will enable us to provide a secure future for animals and ensure they go on to live happy, healthy lives in homes where they are loved and cherished, as they deserve.
In the last decade alone, we have rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed over 12,000 animals.
Sadly, the number of animals that need to come into our care each year is growing, so we must grow to meet the demand.
Please consider leaving a gift in your will to RSPCA Derby & District so we can be here for generations to come.
The impact of a gift
You gift could help us upgrade our centre
Our animal centre on Abbey Street is very compact, so we are always thinking of new ways to make the most of the space we have. Thanks to a gift left to us in a will, we were able to renovate an old store room into a veterinary suite where our vet can assess and treat all of the animals in our care.
Whatever size gift you are able to leave to us in your will, we promise to use it to improve the lives of the rescue animals in our care.
Supporting a local charity
Testimonial
Our supporter, Lisa, has left us a gift in her will. She said "I am passionate about the welfare of animals, especially dogs, as they’ve been part of my family for many years. I particularly wanted to support a local centre so there would be an impact in the area where I live. Derby RSPCA are self funded so I decided to help them continue their amazing work. That's why I have left them a gift in my will."
