A local charity is asking Islanders to support vulnerable animals this festive season with just £3 a month.
The RSPCA Isle of Wight has launched its Time to Give Back This Christmas campaign, encouraging the community to help local animals during the busiest time of the year. All money raised stays on the Island, directly funding care and rehabilitation at the RSPCA Isle of Wight Animal Centre.
Dogs like Bryony show why the charity’s work matters. Abandoned in a caravan, scared and neglected, Bryony is now safe at the centre and searching for the loving home she deserves. Hundreds of other animals benefit from the centre’s care every year, including a lurcher pup found starving and suffering from mange, now happily settled in her forever home.
Running the centre costs £750,000 annually. As an independently funded branch, it relies almost entirely on donations, fundraising, and community generosity.
This Christmas, the centre is asking Islanders to become Regular Givers from just £3 a month. Even a small contribution helps provide rescued animals with food, bedding, veterinary care, rehabilitation, and safe shelter.
Veronica Chrisp, Fundraising Manager, says:
“A regular gift of £3 a month may seem small, but to an animal in need, it can be life-changing. Regular givers allow us to plan ahead, respond quickly to emergencies, and always be here for local animals who need us.”
Islanders can give back by becoming a Regular Giver, making a one-off donation, fundraising, donating supplies, or sharing the campaign to raise awareness.

What happens with the money raised from
RSPCA charity shops, everyone keeps wanting more
of our money.
We have a Labour Government running the country
there ain’t much left once they have raided our
wages and savings.
“Starving, abandoned, scared, neglected”. How cruel and miserable can it get? If there was no abuse of animals, presumably animal charities would not be asking for our help.
