ROYAL SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS LANCASHIRE EAST BRANCH

The objectives of the Branch are to promote kindness and prevent cruelty to animals. Our key aim is to find suitable homes for as many animals as possible, and provide proper care for those who have been mistreated or abandoned (we are not licensed to accept stray dogs!).The main activity for achieving our aim is the operation of an Animal Centre at Altham near Accrington.
