Our open day was a massive success and we have managed to raise a massive £655 and this is all down to your generosity with your many donations.
Firstly, we would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who has donated money and has supported our open day by coming or by sharing the word about it happening, as without your help we would not have been able to raise the tremendous amount that we have done for this much needed charity.
Another thank you goes to all who generously donated amazing prizes to our raffle. These included:
We have drawn the raffle and contacted the winners already. Congratulations to all who won and we hope you and your furry friends enjoy your prizes!
As the Open Day was to be held after a very busy morning surgery, we were dubious as to whether we would finish on time! Vet Tom came in extra early and performed some emergency vet duties when he wasn’t supposed to, and luckily with all the rest of the staff’s help, we managed to get the place spick and span in no time and set up for the day.
We had various stations for the day including,
We also had a special celebrity guest appearance from “ Waffle the wonder dog ” who came to take photos with all of his fans. A huge thank you to Sue McCabe at A1 Animals and Waffle for making this happen, it was the icing on the cake and much appreciated by all – (some of the staff were more start struck than the children!)
All of this however would not have been possible without the dedication and willingness from the staff at Bilton. The final thank you is to those who took their time to come along on the day to make it run as smooth as possible.
StreetVet was born in 2016, inspired by the incredible bond between a homeless man and his dog! Victims of the UK homelessness epidemic often have scant support, except for, in a growing number of cases, the companionship of their pets. Some have had their pets since before losing their homes. Others had the responsibility of pet ownership thrust upon them. Irrespective, the bond between many homeless people and their dogs is profound, such that their pets’ well-being is a life-shaping priority. Now our ever increasing number of volunteers can help, by providing accessible fundamental vet care.
