The cost-of-living crisis
If you're a pet owner who's struggling to cope with the cost of food or healthcare, the RSPCA are here to give you the best advice and support. We won't let animals pay the price of this crisis.
Here at the RSPCA we don't want any animal - or their owner - to go hungry. Our Animal Kindness Index report shows we're a nation of animal lovers. However, seven in ten pet owners are worried about the cost of caring for their animals and a fifth are concerned about how they'll afford to feed them.
We're here to help.
The RSPCA Pet Food Bank project collects pet food donations and delivers them to food banks for owners and animals in need. The cost-of-living crisis means the service is more in demand than ever.

Pet health care costs
It can be stressful when your pet is unwell and if you're also worried about money this can make the situation feel worse. The longer your pet is unwell the worse their illness can become. Seeking advice quickly will likely reduce costs overall and be best for your pet's health.

How much will a pet cost?
Getting a pet will bring loads of joy, but before committing you should know that costs can vary - a lot. So we’ve created this calculator to help you prepare.
Give it a go and compare between breeds to help you decide which pet is right for you and your budget.

Our Vision
A world of protection and opportunity for children living alone and at risk on the streets.
Railway Children is an international children's charity. We fight for vulnerable children who live alone at risk on the streets, where they suffer abuse and exploitation.
In the UK, society often denies their existence, and in other countries the problem is so prevalent that it has become 'normal'.
They run away or are forced to leave homes where they suffer poverty, violence, abuse and neglect. They find themselves living on the streets because there is nowhere else to go and no one left to turn to. The problems they face on the streets are often even worse than those they endured at home. Every day we fight to change their story.
Railway Children race to reach children as soon as they arrive on the streets and intervene before an abuser can. Our pioneering work enables us to get to street children before the streets get to them.
