Ashburton Centre
Making a difference in Ashburton
Volunteer with usFrom 31 October, SPCA will be closing our Ashburton Centre.
While the physical Centre will no longer operate, SPCA services will continue in the community through a dedicated Community Support Officer and our ongoing partnership with Vetlife, ensuring sick, injured, and vulnerable animals continue to receive care.
This change allows SPCA to use donated funds in the most effective way, helping more animals in need across Ashburton and the wider region.
For urgent animal welfare concerns, please contact our Inspectorate at 03 307 1019.
Our centre covers from the Rakaia River to the Rangitata, with Inspectorate cover coming from Christchurch.
