USPCA Awarded £100,000
Animal welfare charity, USPCA, has been awarded £100,000 from the Dormant Accounts Fund NI.
The money will support growth and development over the next three years.
Chair of the USPCA Dr John Farrell said: "A key focus of the Board is to diversify our income model. We have three social enterprises, that have the potential to grow, and we also know there are untapped opportunities we have not had the chance to explore. This funding provides us with the space and resources to develop and expand that will ultimately help us to build a sustainable financial model."
Nora Smith CEO of USPCA commented: "The funding will be used to appoint a Business Development Manager, which will make such a difference. Applying to Dormant Accounts has given us the funding to make the changes we need over the next three years to help further our work in advancing animal welfare in NI."
