ROYAL SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS SOLENT BRANCH

RSPCA Solent Branch covers 400 square miles of Hampshire and operates The Stubbington Ark Animal Centre in Fareham. We support the inspectorate to rescue, rehabilitate, rehome and release back to the wild injured, abandoned, mistreated and stray animals/wildlife. As a separately registered Branch of the RSPCA, we are responsible for raising our own funds to deliver our vital animal welfare work.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
This charity has a robust balance sheet
This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly female

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £5,182,774 available, equivalent to 45 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
