Humber HR People, a leading HR consultancy based in East Yorkshire, has entered into a partnership with RSPCA Hull & East Riding to provide expert HR support as the charity enters a new phase of growth and transformation.

This partnership brings together two purpose-led organisations united by a commitment to people, culture, and community impact. Through this collaboration, Humber HR will provide specialist consultancy in organisational design, leadership development, and people strategy, ensuring the charity’s workforce – both staff and volunteers – feel supported, valued, and equipped to deliver exceptional care and advocacy for animals across the region.

In return, RSPCA Hull & East Riding will support Humber HR’s mission to empower purpose-driven organisations by providing unique opportunities to engage in community-led social impact, corporate volunteering, and responsible business practices.

Fred Owen, CEO of RSPCA Hull & East Riding, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome Humber HR into our journey. As we continue to evolve, it’s vital that we invest in our people and build a culture where compassion, accountability, and professionalism thrive. Kate and the team bring a values-driven approach that perfectly complements our ethos. Together, we’re creating a people-first environment that delivers better outcomes for animals and the community.”

Kate van der Sluis, Managing Partner at Humber HR, added: “This partnership goes beyond HR – it’s about creating impact. Supporting RSPCA Hull & East Riding allows us to use our expertise in a meaningful way, helping build a stronger, more resilient charity that continues to be a lifeline for animals and people alike.”

This partnership underscores a shared belief that successful organisations are built on great people and strong cultures – and that when people thrive, communities and causes do too.
