The RSPCA Coventry & District branch, a separate charity to the national RSPCA but committed to their charitable objectives, was first established in our region in 1873. Each year, they help over 300 cats, 105 dogs and assist 521 further animals.

Together, they held a celebration and fundraising event at the Telegraph Hotel in Coventry. The event included speeches, networking and a raffle with prizes donated by the Telegraph Hotel and CV Life who operate The Wave in Coventry as well as the Transport Museum and Herbert Art Gallery.

On the evening itself, Tallon International raised £260 with all proceeds going to the RSPCA Coventry & District Branch. It costs the centre £40,000 a month to operate with this set to increase due to the cost of living and the rise of animal cruelty within our region.

Steve Clay, CEO of Tallon International, said “We were delighted to be asked to jointly celebrate and support the RSPCA Coventry & District Branch. It is a fantastic way to show our commitment to local charities and how we ethically maintain our global supply chain. Our team came away having had a thoroughly enjoyable time and proud to show their support to such a great organisation as the RSPCA Coventry & District Branch.”

There are many ways that businesses can support the RSPCA Coventry & District Branch. This support can be in the shape of monetary donations, membership to the corporate Club 150, donation of services or supplies, volunteering days or even purchasing from the shops or online Facebook auction.

Emma Davies, Branch Fundraising & Marketing Manager at RSPCA Coventry & District Branch, said:

“It was an amazing evening and we were very grateful to celebrate with our first level two Club 150 member, Tallon International and raise further funds for the centre. We hope to look at more to support our local community and are open to ideas with other businesses and charities. If any business or charity is interested please contact myself at [email protected]”.
