THE RSPCA is urging the public to carry out seven kind acts for animals in honour of Sir David Attenborough.

Coinciding with the broadcaster’s 100th birthday, the charity’s Summer of Kindness campaign calls on people across the UK to support animal welfare through simple everyday actions that can make a real difference.

Rebecca Machin, wildlife expert at the RSPCA, said: "Sir David Attenborough has inspired generations to fall in love with animals and he has been a lifelong advocate for wildlife.

"His passion, care and voice for conservation has encouraged millions of people—including many across the RSPCA—to dedicate their lives to helping animals."

The campaign’s seven kind acts include planting for pollinators, making homemade pet treats, feeding hedgehogs, and organising a litter pick.

The RSPCA says these small gestures not only help wildlife but also bring communities together.

Ms Machin said: "Positive change often starts with simple, everyday actions.

"From helping keep local communities clear of litter, to providing water and safe food for visiting wildlife, we can all get involved in making a big difference for animals."

The charity hopes the campaign will inspire people to take part throughout the summer months.
