The ManxSPCA rescue, rehabilitate and release the Island's wildlife, from hedgehogs to herring gulls. Their staff and volunteers care for these lost, abandoned or injured creatures, restore them to health, bring back their confidence and rehabilitate them.
At the ManxSPCA, they recycle what they can, from paper to metal and glass; and in their two charity shops, they are reducing waste and encouraging people to buy pre-owned clothes and bric-a-brac.
As a way to support and promote our culture, in the ManxSPCA cares for Manx cats, Loaghtan sheep and Manx shearwaters, all iconic species associated with our Island and culture.
At present, they are partners with other agencies, such as DEFA and MWT, to support wider environmental issues such as the preservation of wildlife habitats, and an appreciation of the natural world that surrounds us. ManxSPCA host school groups at Ard Jerkyll, and visit schools and youth centres.
Adding to this, they give talks at WI meetings and take part in community events such as the agricultural shows. The ManxSPCA organises fundraising events, such as car boot sales and dog shows, which attract a wide audience and add to the Island's community spirit.
