Sponsorship

Derby RSPCA is a local independent charity that is self-funded and receives no additional help from the government or lottery to help us care for and re-home the many unwanted, mistreated, injured or simply lost animals in our care. Our Animal Centre currently costs £4,000 per week to run and as you will appreciate it takes a tremendous effort to raise this amount of money from charity contributions, bequests and fundraising.

One very effective way of continuing to survive these increasingly difficult times is to build working partnerships with local companies. This corporate assistance can take many forms with companies being willing to donate goods and services to help us to reduce the costs associated with running our Animal Centre; to help us raise income from fund raising events; to nominate us as their chosen charity for a period of time; to donate money. These partnerships are vital to the success of Derby RSPCA, both now and in the future.

If you would like to become part of our corporate sponsorship scheme then please contact us either by calling 01332 344620 and ask for Deb Peck our Branch Manager, or by email at info@rspcaderby.org.uk or simply by calling into Derby RSPCA on Abbey Street, Derby.

The companies listed below are our new corporate sponsors with whom we have formed partnerships since re-launching our Corporate Sponsorship scheme in late 2008.  They understand that having a sustainable Derby RSPCA is vital for animal welfare in our local community and we thank them very much for their on-going commitment and support.

Smith Cooper is one of the Midlands’ most progressive firms of accountants and business advisors and they currently have nine offices across the Midlands. Smith Cooper IT solutions have provided us with an enhanced computer system that has moved us into the 21st Century! As well as updating our existing equipment they provided us with a new server and 2 new PCs and their technical expertise so we now have a functioning network and increased resilience. We would not have been able to afford to buy the equipment and time donated by the Smith Cooper IT team and the resultant improvement in efficiency from the computerisation of processes has made a significant difference to us. Smith Cooper have also donated time in the form of Marketing assistance to plan and organise a Wine Tasting Quiz event at Derbyshire County Cricket Club to raise funds for our charity – we had a very successful evening and raised over £2600.
