Working as vets we see the importance of having animal companions every day. Not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to bring their beloved animals to see a vet.

Street Vet are an incredible charity that allow victims of the UK homelessness epidemic access to veterinary care when they need it. These people often have scant support, except for, in a growing number of cases, the companionship of their pets.

Many have had their pets since before losing their homes, which makes their bond even more profound, such that their pet's well-being is a life-shaping priority.

Street Vet's volunteers (vets and vet nurses) provide accessible fundamental veterinary care. They vaccinate, microchip, treat for fleas and worms, prescribe pain relief, help fight infections, perform surgeries and sometimes just sit and listen.

We are joining a group to Trek 100km through the Sahara Desert in Morocco, which is a huge challenge for us both, to raise some much needed funds for this amazing charity.
