Since 1836, the USPCA has been here for all animals in Northern Ireland. From just one hub based in Newry, Co. Down they provide rescue and rehabilitation services for sick, injured and abandoned animals.

They're here to improve the lives of animals in the present and the future as they commit themselves to campaigning for better laws that protect animals, prevent cruelty and relieve unnecessary suffering.

At this years Belfast City Marathon, we will have three teams who are taking on the challenge and running in the relay. 'USPCA Feline the Burn', 'USPCA Joganauts' and 'USPCA Zoomies Squad' who will be raising awareness for the charity, whilst helping to raise vital funds as every donation helps the USPCA continue to provide essential services to help animals in need.

The USPCA receives no government funding, so fundraising is vital to continue our rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming services for animals.
