Join Team Battersea and take on the Battersea Running Festival for rescue dogs and cats. Every step, minute and mile will help our animals to get the second chance and happy homes they deserve.

Battersea will always be here for every dog and cat. At Battersea, we take in every animal who needs us. We give each one lots of love and expert care and get to know their characters and quirks so we can find them a new home that’s just right for them.

All the knowledge we gather in our centres helps us to improve the lives of the animals we’ll never meet, through our work with other rescue organisations and charities. We also help people make informed choices when getting a pet, we provide training and welfare advice, and we campaign for changes in the law when we see that dogs and cats or their owners deserve better. We want to be here for every dog and cat, wherever they are, for as long as they need us.

By taking on a challenge for Battersea, you’ll help provide vital treatment and care for all of our dogs and cats. As a member of Team Battersea, you’ll receive:

  • A Team Battersea running vest.
  • Fundraising materials (if required) including collection box, balloons, banners.
  • A fundraising guide with plenty of ideas to help you hit your target, and support from start to finish from our friendly fundraising team.
  • Training guides with our top tips and advice.
  • Access to our Team Battersea Facebook group where you can meet other Battersea supporters taking on challenges and ask questions about training and fundraising.
