Charity Status Change

We are pleased to announce that on 1st April 2026 our branch changed its legal status from an unincorporated charity to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), with a new charity number of 1215084.  It represents a key step in modernising our governance framework. The important thing is that nothing is changing in what we do or how we do it, and every animal coming in to us will receive the care, attention and second chance that they deserve, just the same as always.  The CIO is now the data controller, although for an interim period, the existing branch and the CIO will co-exist as we work through the process of informing all relevant parties.  If you have used our services before, rest assured your personal data is still protected in exactly the same way; it has simply been transferred over to the new CIO.  Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

The Cheshire (Altrincham) Branch of the RSPCA was founded in 1963 and is based in the Altrincham / Sale area, although we cover a large area of Cheshire which runs from Sale and Carrington in the north, down through Knutsford and Northwich and as far south as Holmes Chapel and Sandiway.

We work closely with RSPCA Inspectors to provide direct animal welfare services in these areas. This includes veterinary care and safe homes for unwanted animals and those that the RSPCA Inspectors have rescued from harm.

As a Local RSPCA Branch, we are an independently registered charity and rely heavily on Volunteers, local fundraising activities and public support to continue this work.
