I've been very involved in this amazing and lion-hearted little branch of the RSPCA since 2012, and we've helped so many animals and people over the years. It's been a real pleasure and privilege to be a part of such a meaningful ongoing project, and anyone who knows me will know that animal welfare is woven into the fabric of my soul.

There have been a lot of challenges for us in recent times and our great team of staff and volunteers have met them all head on, but finances is currently our biggest and most pressing challenge. We're working on a plan to be entirely sustainable in the future, but that will take time and between now and then we need every penny we can get to keep on doing what we do!

On 6th July, myself and 5 other members of the team will be jumping out of a plane at 12,000 feet! We're planning to land safely and make a few pounds in the process. Please help me to help animals in need by donating what you can.
