Reporting Animal Cruely

They have a phone/email as a direct contact for members of the public to report suspected
animal abuse, which is manned during working hours.
Call Save: 0761 064408
Phone: +353 1 607 2379

Monday to Friday (excluding Bank Holidays). At all other times it will divert to a recorded message and messages left will be monitored regularly.

The GPS code or Eircode will be requested of the suspected incident in order to track it efficiently and they will also ask for the phone number of the complainant. But rest assured all animal welfare reports are processed in the strictest confidence.

Hedgerow Cutting Ban in Force

March 16, 2023 by Regina

Hedgerow Cutting Ban in Force

HEDGEROW CUTTING BAN IN FORCE
March 1st saw the start of the Hedgerow Cutting Ban which lasts until September 1st. Under the Wildlife Acts, hedgerow cutting is banned during the period March 1st to August 31st inclusive.
This ban is legally enforced, and many prosecutions have been taken by excellent National Parks and Wildlife conservation officers charged with protecting our diminishing heritage. Burning, cutting, and grubbing vegetation during this period is also prohibited.
If you see anyone breaching the law, take photos of the incident and machinery and contact your local National Parks and Wildlife Service officer. You can also contact the Gardaí.

In Ireland, our relatively low cover of native woodland makes our hedgerows exceptionally important for biodiversity. Hedgerows provide botanical diversity as well as food and shelter for animals, most notably birds. They also act as corridors connecting habitats. Untrimmed, thorny hedges are favoured by birds, but birds may nest in any hedge.

Our thanks to the Minister

December 20, 2022 by Regina

OUR THANKS

We would like to express our thanks to Minister McConalogue TD and all in the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine for their generous animal welfare funding grant received recently.

It is very gratifying for us as a small animal charity that the Minister and his department recognise our work and support us in our efforts to caring for the wild and unwanted animals in the Fingal area. 

It is so heartening for us to have a Minister so interested in small animal welfare and willing to work so hard to improve the lives of animals everywhere.

Host a Facebook Birthday Fundraiser

March 15, 2022 by Regina

HOST A BIRTHDAY FUNDRAISER

Have you ever hosted a birthday fundraiser on Facebook?  It's a simple and effective way of raising funds for the charity of your choice and allows your friends and family to donate to the charity on your behalf.

Facebook don't take any fees on donations given through a birthday fundraiser so all monies donated go straight to the charity.

Some Tips to Help You 

  1. Schedule your fundraiser so that it has a good lead up time and ends about 4 days after your actual birthday or event.
  2. Not everyone will be able to donate, wants to donate or trusts internet donations. So when you set your fundraiser up, ask for people to either donate or share the event if they don’t want to donate!  “It’s my birthday and I challenge you to help me raise funds for the Fingal SPCA by doing one or both of these things: 1) Donate Something AND/OR 2) Share this!”
  3. Invite your friends!  Yes all of them!
  4. Share it! Copy the link to your Fundraiser and text/whatsapp it to people, tweet it, share it on your snapchat or Instagram story!
  5. Say Thanks!  A few days before the end of the fundraiser, write a lovely note of thanks to remind people about the amazing cause they donated to, and letting everyone know how happy they have made you by supporting you. You may yet get a few more donations after your speech.

So will you consider creating a birthday fundraiser for the Fingal SPCA to celebrate your next special day?

Charity Tax Back

October 25, 2021 by Regina

SUPPORT OUR WORK

CHARITY TAX BACK SCHEME

The Irish tax system contains a range of incentives aimed at facilitating and encouraging charitable donations by individuals and companies, which help to ensure that charities receive the maximum benefit from public and private donations.

The Charitable Donation Scheme allows tax relief on qualifying donations.   So if you are an Irish tax payer and donate €250 or more to a registered charity in any year, the charity can claim 45% in tax relief under the Charitable Donation Scheme.

It's very simple and straightforward and it means your donation is worth so much more.

You download the form, either CHY3 Form (an enduring tax back donation for five years) or CHY4 Form (to allow a donation in one financial year). Complete the details and return the form to our Accounts Department, Fingal SPCA, 33 Castleview Lawns, Swords, K67 FP93.

Remember €250 is only €4.81 a week or .69c a day! Less than a cup of coffee!
