Be pawsome, donate today and make a difference!
We are not funded day to day by the larger National RSPCA and rely on amazing people like to you support us and you never let us down.
We offer a range of ways to support us from items we need on our Amazon Wish lists, direct financial support, fundraising, free will writing and legacy services and also donating goods to our shops for sale.
Take a look below and see how you can make a difference now, and for the future.

Leave a legacy – free will writing service!
A legacy to the RSPCA Bury, Oldham & District Branch will provide crucial funds to allow us to continue to help and rehome as many needy animals as possible. We could not do this without such generous support from the public.
You can help us and local animals by making a will or by adding a codicil (a document which specifies alternations to your will). If you already have a will, or are using your own legal provider, please remember that the RSPCA Bury, Oldham & District Branch and all other RSPCA branches are separately registered charities. So, if you would like the animals in your local area to benefit, we suggest that your legacy reads:-
I give the sum of £……………….. (or specify a share of residue) to the RSPCA Bury, Oldham & District Branch c/o RSPCA Animal Centre, Oldham. Registered charity number 226624, for its general purposes and I declare that the receipt of the Honorary Treasurer, or other proper office of the said RSPCA for the time being, shall be a full and sufficient discharge for the said legacy.
Please note that a will or codicil needs to be properly witnessed and you should obtain legal advice.
FREE WILL WRITING SERVICE:
We are please to offer a FREE will writing service at no cost to us with our friends at Kwill. Conditions apply and there is no requirement to leave anything to our branch, but it is appreciated, no matter the gift.
To access the free will writing service, please call 0800 061 4934 or CLICK HERE to visit the website to get started.
This FREE service normally takes no longer than 30 minutes, but please quote RSPCABO to get access to the free service.
Gifts to registered charities are generally exempt from inheritance and capital gains taxes. A gift to our branch would therefore greatly benefit local animals with minimum burden to your estate.
Donate Items
Our charity shops sell your donations to fund the work of the Bury, Oldham & District RSPCA. The Bury, Oldham & District RSPCA helps animals in crisis and in need of care.
How to donate
Drop items off at any Bury, Oldham & District RSPCA charity shop in your area and remember to ask about GIFT AID.
Please don’t leave donations outside the shop when we are closed as they could be stolen or ruined by the weather.
Please contact your nearest charity shop if you:
• would like to arrange a house collection

Donations we can accept
All donations must be clean, useable and of saleable quality. If you wouldn’t buy it then we probably won’t be able to sell it! The better the quality of your items, the more money we can raise from their sale.
