ROYAL SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS SUSSEX NORTH & BRIGHTON BRANCH

The charity is responsible for the RSPCA Brighton Animal Shelter, which provides care, veterinary treatment and rehoming for unwanted domestic animals, including reptiles. The Shelter has a first aid and holding unit for injured wildlife. Over 3000 animals are cared for at the Shelter each year. The charity provides subsidised neutering for cats, dogs and rabbits, for people on low incomes.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has a robust balance sheet
This charity has received more than half of its income from legacies in recent years
There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £4,196,813 available, equivalent to 44 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
