People's Postcode Lottery
Players of People's Postcode Lottery have raised more than £1.3 billion for thousands of charities and local good causes. The lottery is an important source of funding for animal welfare charities, including the RSPCA.
Funding boost for wildlife
Our work to rehabilitate and release sick and injured wildlife has been given a fantastic boost, once again, thanks to players of People's Postcode Lottery.
More than £400,000, raised by players of People's Postcode Lottery, will help give our precious wildlife casualties a second chance.
We have already helped more than 1,500 wild animals in 2024, including hedgehogs, a variety of birds and seals, so we are hugely grateful to the players for their vital support.
Thank you to all players
Evangelos Achilleos, our East Winch manager said:
"I can't stress enough how grateful we are to Postcode Lottery players for raising this incredible amount of funding for us - thank you so much!
"The funding will allow us to continue helping the seals that need us the most. Fewer seals will suffer and their chance of being released back to the wild as healthy animals is far more likely because of the work of our dedicated teams. This funding will allow us to protect them, rehabilitate them and ensure that they can live happy lives free from harm back out in the wild where they belong.
"Sadly, we're seeing an increasing number of seals with deep laceration injuries caused by plastic litter like frisbees and discarded fishing equipment which is very concerning, and so our work is needed more than ever before. We're so grateful to have the support of the players of People's Postcode Lottery, we couldn't do this vital work without their generosity."
