One Fun Day is an annual event on the RSPCA calendar – but this year it is extra special because the charity is celebrating its 200th anniversary – with the actual birthday day being on Sunday 16 June, So by taking part in One Fun Day – and celebrating on our birthday – you can ensure you will have a weekend to remember!

It also gives people and communities the chance to come together to support their local RSPCA branches and centres and help improve the lives of every animal as part of a million strong movement to change the lives of animals for the better.

Laura Prince, deputy manager said: “It’s incredible to think that our charity has been helping animals for 200 years - making us the oldest animal welfare charity in the world.

“This is such an amazing feat and one that we can’t wait to celebrate with our supporters old and new at our one fun day event at Block Fen - we have so much going on that day including a dog show and lots of fun entertainment. We are also still in need of donations for our tombola prizes so if anyone can help, we would be extremely grateful.

“We’ve been changing industries, laws, minds, and animals’ lives for 200 years. Together, there are actions, big and small, we can take to create a better world for every animal.”
