It states: "RSPCA South Bucks is at a critical crossroads. Without the support of new trustees, we face the heartbreaking possibility of being unable to continue our work in its current form in South Bucks, covering the major urban areas of Chesham, Burnham, High Wycombe and Princes Risborough.

"For over 60 years, we’ve been dedicated to rehabilitating and rehoming animals in need. We also provide affordable microchipping, neutering and veterinary treatment for those who are in financial hardship.

"But we can’t do it alone. We need passionate, committed volunteers to step up and join our board of trustees. Your skills, time, and perspective will enable us to continue our vital work.

"No prior trustee experience? No problem! We welcome diverse backgrounds and fresh ideas. All we need is your commitment to our cause and willingness to make a difference.

Anyone who is interested in learning more or taking up a position as a trustee is encouraged to contact the charity at info@rspca-southbucks.org.uk
