ABOUT US
The East Norfolk Branch of the RSPCA is one of 135 charities that supports the work of the RSPCA and its Inspectors. As a separately registered charity, we are responsible for raising funds locally to help animals in our area.
What we do
Our animal welfare activities are run along with a team of volunteers and we raise money through our 4 shops in Acle, Great Yarmouth, Gorleston and Stalham, our Clinic in Great Yarmouth, as well as fundraising events, donations and legacies.
​
Our Branch covers a wide coastal area of Norfolk, which starts at Mundesley in the North and comes all the way down to Hopton-on-Sea in the South. Inland, we cover Harleston, Brundall, Wroxham and North Walsham, amongst others. Most of our work is carried out in the Great Yarmouth area.
We rescue, rehabilitate and rehome sick and injured animals; such as cats, dogs, rabbits and other small furries. We also run a Welfare Clinic for pet owners who are in receipt of means-tested benefits.
