Volunteer testimonials
This is something I feel passionately about, as I believe it’s vitally important and increasingly relevant today. In a modern society, there shouldn’t be a need for food banks yet, sadly, the demand has never been greater.
I’ve really enjoyed reconnecting with old colleagues and contacts through this work, and I continue to find it every bit as rewarding as my earlier roles. It’s also a pleasure to work alongside my colleagues in Newry once again.
It is such a privilege to volunteer alongside the staff here who are so dedicated to the animals.
The knowledge I have gained from both staff and other volunteer's at the USPCA is invaluable. I now rescue, rehabilitate and release many different animals. From mice and rats to badger's and foxes. I absolutely love volunteering with the USPCA and I help out were I can, as much as I can. I would recommend volunteering with the USPCA to anyone with a love of animals. If you want
to make a difference then why not volunteer.
