My local charity of the week is RSPCA Oak and Furrows. As an animal lover myself, I was delighted to adopt a grey tabby cat named Mrs Landingham (Mrs L for short) through an animal welfare charity back in January 2021, and I am very supportive of the work of these excellent charities.
RSPCA Oka and Furrows, located in Cricklade, rescues and cares for thousands of animals a year, including many here in South Swindon. The charity’s mission is to prevent cruelty, promote kindness, and alleviate the suffering of animals by promoting the five fundamental needs for all animals; the need for a suitable environment, the need for a suitable diet, the need to exhibit normal behaviour patterns, and the need to be protected from pain, suffering, injury, and disease.
Currently, the charity is calling for donations of unwanted clothes to supply its chain of ten charity shops in the region, which help to support running costs at the centre. You can help by donating to the shop located in The Parade in Swindon Town Centre.
