A Blackburn business has thrown its support behind an RSPCA branch that faces an urgent funding appeal.
Haydock Finance, based in Greenbank Business Park, has pledged its support to the RSPCA branch in Altham, as the animal centre faces imminent closure due to ongoing financial challenges.
A lifeline for neglected and vulnerable animals since the early 1970s, the centre announced that it would close its doors at the end of March and transition to a foster-based rescue model.
Lizzie Moorby from Haydock Finance said: "As a business committed to supporting our local communities, we are deeply concerned by the challenges facing the Altham animal centre.
“The work carried out by this dedicated team is invaluable, and we hope to help amplify their message so that individuals and businesses alike can step forward to secure its future."

Dedicated to rehabilitating and rehoming some of the most complex and overlooked cases, the facility has played a vital role in supporting inspectors who rescue animals in need.
To help raise awareness of the centre’s funding shortfall, Haydock Finance is also encouraging local businesses to consider sponsorship opportunities and stand alongside the team working to protect some of the most vulnerable animals in Lancashire.
Currently, the branch is calling on its supporters to consider joining its Safe Haven monthly sponsorship scheme, which highlights the collective impact that small contributions could make.
With more than 13,000 followers on its Facebook page, if supporters pledged just £1 per month this could raise £156,000 annually.
Support can also be given through one-off donations via the branch’s JustGiving page, corporate sponsorship, gifts in wills, fostering, rehoming rescued animals, or by sharing the appeal on social media.
