Charity organisations
A) The RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) was the first
organisation dedicated to the well-being of animals anywhere in the world. In England and Wales
alone, the RSPCA employ more than three hundred inspectors whose job it is to investigate
reported cruelty to animals. In 1840 Queen Victoria gave the organisation permission to be called
a royal society: The RSPCA. These days there are almost two hundred branches in the UK.

B) The RNIB (Royal National Institute of the Blind) is the UK’s leading charity for the
blind. Sight loss is one of the most common disabilities in the UK with over a million people
suffering from either partial or total blindness. The RNIB challenges the disabling effects of sight
loss by providing information and offering practical services to help people lead as normal a life as
possible. The organisation also works on the underlying causes of blindness working towards its
prevention, cure or alleviation.

C) TBG (Tidy Britain Group) is an independent national charity fighting to improve the
quality of the local environment. They aim to make people more aware of the negative effects of
litter, dog fouling, graffiti and vandalism and to get everyone involved in doing their bit to keep
Britain clean. The work of the TBG is done mainly through campaigning. Volunteers work closely
with councils and businesses to organise educational programmes designed to raise awareness of
the problems. The TBG’s sister organisation, Going for Green, concentrates on pollution issues.
The two groups share premises and have the same Chief Executive.

D) Mencap is a charity which is dedicated to fighting against discrimination towards people
who suffer from any kind of learning disability. Most of Mencap’s work is campaigning. People
with learning disabilities are disadvantaged because of discrimination and lack of funding of
community care. It also provides services of education, housing and employment as well as
support and advice for families and careers of sufferers.
