In August 1995, it was decided there was a need for a registered charity and "Staffordshire Bull Terrier Welfare" was created, to work alongside the other SBT rescue groups in the country, but to have a different unifying role. The “hands-on” work would be left to the regional groups, whilst "SBT Welfare" would become a support group, encouraging the others to work together, as in unity there is strength. Charitable status was conferred on “The Welfare” (as it's colloquially known) on 14th October 1996.
