Food donations to RSPCA branch in Rochdale help hungry pets

Webbox has donated pet food to Rochdale RSPCA

A Lancashire-based pet food company has donated 3,294 meals to Rochdale-based animal charity, RSPCA Rochdale & District.

Animal charities like the RSPCA have been drastically impacted by the pandemic, partly due to factors such as the closure of charity shops in lockdown, cancelling fundraising events and donors having less disposable income due to furloughs and job losses.

The food donated by Webbox will help to feed the animals currently in RSPCA Rochdale & District’s care.

Chan Taylor, branch manager at Rochdale RSPCA, said: “We rely entirely on the donations of local people and businesses like Webbox to enable us to continue caring for and feeding vulnerable animals.

“The team and our animals are extremely grateful to Webbox for their generosity at such a challenging time for our charity. It really has made a huge difference and it’s fantastic to see the animals enjoying their lovely treats!” 

Camille Ashforth, senior brand manager at Webbox, said: “The work that the RSPCA do in caring for and rehoming animals is incredible, and we’re proud to have played a small part in helping them in these unprecedented circumstances.

“We are proud to support local RSPCA branches like Rochdale in various different ways, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with them.”
