Appeal Archive > Winter Warmer Appeal - Please Help!

Last winter was particularly harsh and we are expecting no less this year. For those unwanted animals spending another winter in Kennels it can be a particularly miserable time. But you can lend a helping hand over the winter period by supporting our winter Warmer Appeal.

By donating a tin of food, old blanket or whatever change you can spare – your generous gift, no matter how big or small will help make a difference to the lives of animal in our care.

With over 200 hungry mouths to feed at any time, our annual food bill would total a staggering £52,000 without this appeal, so please, whatever you can give, even just one tin could mean one less hungry tummy this Christmas!

We are particularly in need of tinned food as opposed to dried food and biscuits as storing a lot of dried food can attract biscuit mites and beetles. We also need blankets to provide our cats and dogs with a warm bed to snuggle up in. Any monetary donations towards heating costs are also very welcome.

You can make a donation by dropping a tin of food into one of our many collection points around Bristol (in shops, supermarkets and veterinary practices etc). You can download the current list of collection points to the left of this page.

Alternatively, donations can be taken to the RSPCA Bristol Branch Charity Shop on Gloucester Road or directly to Bristol Dogs & Cats Home in St. Philips.

You can also make a secure online donation towards the Appeal now by clicking here or via your mobile phone – just text WARM22 and the amount (ie, WARM22 £5) to 70070. You won't be charged for the text and your donation will be deducted from your credit or added to your phone bill.

Please help us and together we can keep toes toasty and tummies full this Winter.

For more information, or to get your school or work place involved by hosting a Winter Warmer Appeal collection box, please contact e-mail Rebecca or call 0117 3003968.
