Our branch, one of 175 such local RSPCA organisations,
covers a notable part of Cheshire
extending into Derbyshire to encompass Buxton.
Created in 1989 in our present form,
we lie within the national society's Northern Region,
and serve the animals within our boundaries.
We operate as an all volunteer, autonomous,
self-funding foundation, based on the rules, regulations
and guidelines of the national society.
Geographically, the branch covers a very large area
which is bounded roughly by a line running from
Styal near Manchester Airport, east to Poynton
then across to slightly and east of Buxton,
south-west to Scholar Green,
then to Alsager and Sandbach
before running north back to Styal.
Alderley Edge, Buxton, Congleton, Macclesfield,
Prestbury and Wilmslow
are larger communities within our boundaries.

We support the work of the RSPCA
Inspectorate operating in the Cheshire Group Area
through liaison with inspectors, animal collection officers
and the staff at the society's regional headquarters in Leeds.
This involves taking in and caring for animals rescued
by inspectors or which are removed by voluntary
arrangement with owners who are unable to guarantee
an acceptable level of care or quality of life.

Additionally, we fund the temporary placement
of these and other animals in kennels, catteries
and other appropriate facilities
whilst their rehoming or fostering is sought from
within the community.
We fund and oversee veterinary treatment for animals
in our care, run animal neutering programmes
and provide 'home visitors' to check on compatibilty
of animal and potential adopter in our branch area
for our animals and those from any other RSPCA branch.
