Victims of the UK homelessness epidemic often have scant support, except for, in a growing number of cases, the companionship of their pets. Many have had their pets since before becoming homeless, which makes their bond even more profound, such that their pet's well-being is a life-shaping priority. Our volunteer vets and vet nurses provide free, veterinary provision and essentials across 19 outreach locations nationwide in all weathers. We have also launched out StreetVet Accredited Hostel Scheme which supports temporary accommodation providers to become pet friendly, giving our clients and their pets somewhere safe and secure, where they can stay together. We are passionate about the human-animal bond and feel that no-one should have to choose between their pet and a roof over their head.

Any support you can give StreetVet no matter how small would be greatly appreciated. You can make a massive difference to the lives of StreetVet clients and their pets. I feel I should also add I'm not a runner however, I will happily put myself through a great deal of pain for this wonderful charity to help raise awareness and vital funds for its wonderful work.
