Why ROLDA and why Romania?

ROLDA UK works to help ROLDA Romania carry out its vital work focusing on rescue, rehabilitation, sheltering, sterilisation, rehoming, social programmes and education. With a strict no-kill policy ROLDA needs help to ensure these poor animals are given the home they deserve, and with an estimated 2.5 million stray dogs that’s a huge task.

How can I be sure that my donation reaches the animals in need in Romania?

ROLDA UK sends by bank wire or PayPal transfer the funds collected for Romanian shelters. The revenue and expenditure in both countries are carefully recorded and transparently updated on our websites.

GIFT AID:
TURN EVERY £1 DONATION INTO £1.25

Under Gift Aid, the HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) will usually top up every £1 given to ROLDA UK with 25p. So our charity could receive £250 for every £1,000 you donate at no extra expense to you. For donations to be eligible for Gift Aid, the donor needs to be a UK taxpayer and will have had to have paid an amount of income/capital gains tax equal to or higher than the amount claimed by all charities and CASCs from HM Revenue & Customs (taxes such as VAT and Council Tax do not qualify). This means, for ROLDA UK to claim £2.50 on a £10 donation, the sponsor must have paid at least £2.50 in tax. Gift Aid cannot be claimed on company donations.

*Note! If a number of sponsors live at the same address, they must each complete the address and postcode fields.

The name, amount, address and post code fields must be filled out in the sponsors own hand writing.

Donate individually. You cannot make joint donations, for example from Mr and Mrs Smith. The HMRC needs to determine who the taxpayer is.

ROLDA UK TEAM

Firstly, thank you for visiting the ROLDA website. Your interest and support is what enables us to save lives every day.
Below is a brief overview of the journey I have been on and which has led to ROLDA. The road has been long and difficult. Yet whenever I am near the kennels and can see the difference we have made to the lives of hundreds of dogs, I realize it was all worth it. And that there is still plenty of work to do!
I hope you enjoy reading it.
My best wishes to you,

DANA

Founder & CEO
I started volunteering for ROLDA UK in 2015 and am now involved with all aspects, including all supporter enquiries, adoption and transportation arrangements, web development and social media! We are still very new in the UK so lots of exciting changes are being made to help raise donations and find adopters for our lovely dogs. I’m a biology graduate with a background in teaching, coaching and mentoring, along with financial services. I live in Manchester with my partner and our toddler. Life can be hectic but we love it!

TESTIMONIALS

After passing the gates of the large shelter ROLDA, the first thing that you'll be struck by is the silence, almost unreal of this place... and then by the thunderous barking addressed to us by the 700 doggies saved by Dana: greetings-barking often or sometimes, imperative crying-barking for attention! Then there are the emotions: Astonishment in front of the magnitude of the situation, rage against the injustice created by humans, sadness of being powerless witnesses of a miserable life to which the Romanian street dogs have been exposed, joy to finally see them rescued and safe, admiration for the endless commitment and dedication of Dana and her team,...the tears, difficult to keep them from falling... so here we are losing our thoughts deep in the pure looks of the dogs in front of us and dreaming for a better world. When, after the visit, the gates are closed, we know that a piece of ROLDA will remain forever etched in our memory. Note: Lolita visited for the first time ROLDA shelters in November 2013 and shortly after, she became one of the founders which put the bases of ROLDA Swiss sister-charity. Lolita returns regularly in Romania.

"Wow I just looked on your page it brought tears to my eyes with happiness , your work, mission and most of all those children being involved is a crucial part of changing animals lives .Those children will be the building block and hopefully they can change the way people treat animals so important that they are involved. I also love all your ideas for the shelter, and how large so lots of doggies can be helped. Just great stuff to see. Good luck with your amazing work."

"I am so pleased to help, in some small way, the magnificent work you do in saving the lives of abused, abandoned dogs living in appalling conditions and often near death. Bringing them some semblance of happiness with food and shelter is reward in itself, feeling sorry for their plight is not enough, you have to commit to helping them. Sincere thanks for the wonderful work you do, you are making all the difference to their lives. THANK YOU."
