HELPLINE NUMBER 07544046828
Please call this number to report cruelty or neglect.
All calls treated in confidence.
Due to the significant increase in animal cruelty and neglect cases in the North West and surrounding areas and with a lack of USPCA presence in the North West, members of the public have been increasingly turning to the Rainbow Centre with concerns for animals. In a response to this we have launched a Cruelty Awareness Helpline.
