EMPOWERING THE NEXT GENERATION OF ANIMAL ADVOCATES

Welcome to our animal education website! The activities here are for everyone who wants to help others learn about animals, understand their behaviour, and make their lives better.

Get started

Let’s make animals' lives better

We’ve co-created these lessons and activities with teachers, parents, children and science teams. So our education content is a fun and valuable way for children to learn and it will have a real benefit to animals too.

Happy and healthy animals

This video lesson explores what keeps animals happy and healthy, showcasing farm animals, pets, and wildlife living fulfilling lives. By the end of the lesson, learners will gain a basic understanding of how to improve animals' lives and see how their needs are similar to our own.

Build ladybirds a home

Create a safe and warm home for ladybirds, whether in your garden or in a community space.

Assess film and media

There many representations of animals all around us. But are those images showing good animal welfare or are they damaging?

Campaign for animals

We have been campaigning for over 200 years to make animals’ lives better. But we can't do it alone. Can you help?

Pets and the Planet

Take part in our live online Zoom event, Pets and the Planet! Join us for a fun and informative session where we will explore this year’s theme, ‘Animals - it’s their home too.’ Let's learn how to make our pets' homes more exciting and engaging through enrichment activities! Suitable for children aged 5 - 11.

Duke of Edinburgh Award

Did you know that anyone doing their Bronze or Silver DofE can volunteer with the RSPCA?

They can mix and match activities including campaigning, fundraising, and practical help for wildlife and pets. It’s fun, they’ll learn new skills, and they’ll be improving the lives of animals.
