Welcome

Some of the local animals we have helped

The charitable objects of the RSPCA are to promote kindness and prevent cruelty to animals.

Although the RSPCA Wigan, Leigh & District Branch works within the rules, policies and guidelines of the national RSPCA, we are a separately registered and self-funding charity working to provide care and welfare support for local animals within the wider Wigan and Leigh district area - running from Skelmersdale in the west to Atherton and Tyldesley in the east; from Standish in the north to Ashton and Golborne in the south.
We cover WN postcodes and a few closely surrounding areas - WA3 3; WA3 2; WA3 1; M29 7; M29 8; M46 9, and M46 0 (download a map of the areas covered by the Branch).
