Founder's Day is here!

On 17 November 1917, PDSA’s Founder Maria Dickin opened our very first dispensary in a tiny cellar in London’s East End.

We celebrate this anniversary each year and it’s a wonderful opportunity to reflect on our long and varied history while making plans for our future.

Take a look at a specially recorded video message from our Director General Jan McLoughlin and enjoy celebrating Founder’s Day together.
