RSPCA Christmas Fair 2018: felt reindeers - so cute
01 Nov

Christmas Fair cancelled

It’s with deep regret that we’ve taken the decision to cancel our Christmas Fair at Holbrook (21st November). We also cancelled our Quiz night, due to have been on the 24 October. Losing the two events will make a big dent in our income, as they are very well attended and raised almost £1,000 each last year, but the continuing dangers of the pandemic leave us no option.

We are trying to make up some income with online events, so please keep an eye on our website and Facebook for more fundraising activities.

Hopefully we will be able to resume our face-to-face events next year, but in the meantime, if you would like to make a donation to help us look after the animals in our care, we would be very grateful.

Our Virgin Money Giving page is here or, if you’d like to send a cheque, please make it payable to RSPCA Suffolk East & Ipswich and send it to RSPCA Animal Centre, Mill Lane, Martlesham, IP12 4PD.

Any amount you can give will make a difference – thank you.

September Open Day cancelled

We have decided to cancel our annual Open Day and Fun Dog Show, scheduled for 6 September. Despite lockdown measures being eased, we can’t see a way to hold the event safely.

It’s a huge disappointment – particularly to the Animal Centre staff and volunteers who love to see dogs they’ve rehomed happy and well in their new lives – and a big loss of income. However, our priority is the safety of our staff, volunteers and visitors.

We’re still hoping to have other events, such as our Quiz and Christmas Fair, later in the year, but in the interim, if you would like to make a financial donation, that would be the best way to help us right now. We continue to have our day to day running costs and anticipate increased need for our services in the coming months.

You can donate via our Virgin Money Giving page. If you’d like to offer us long-term financial help, we have our Safe Haven animal pen sponsorship.

Any amount you can give will make a difference – thank you.

Essentials for our animals

We’ve made a dedicated COVID-19 essentials Amazon Wish list for anyone who is able to help our animals during this difficult time. Click here.

We understand that buying only essentials is very important at the moment, which is why we’ve created an “essentials only” wish list. These are absolute must haves; items our animals cannot be without. We use them daily and run out very quickly.

We’ve had to close all 4 of our charity shops which fund the vital work we do in Suffolk, so any donation big or small from this list would be so generous and gratefully received.

Framlingham Co-Op collection cancelled

Because of the situation with the coronavirus, we have taken the decision to cancel our store collection at the Co-Op Framlingham on 27 March. All our other store collections have been postponed for the foreseeable future.

We hope to quickly put in place alternative forms of donation (such as the Donate link here on our website) for anyone wanting to support the animals in our care.

If you have any questions on the store collections or would like to volunteer to collect at future ones, please contact Ian Hendry on 01449 767747 (after 6pm) or via ian.hendry@rspca-ipswich.org.uk.

Thank you all for your support so far this year and, hopefully, it will not be too long before we can get back in the stores again and collect a lot more money for animals in need. In the meantime, please take care of yourselves.
