We have been on a mission the past few weeks to find some less recognised animal-based charities to support. One of the ways we have researched this was to ask you lovely lot at BVNA for charities close to you who we may not have heard of, but we want to extend this even further to all of our followers. If you have some charities local to you (or just close to your heart) that you’d love us to support, let us know!
From our recommendations and research so far, here are some incredible charities across the UK:
Animal Cancer Trust
- Animal Cancer Trust – Fighting cancer in our pets
- “The ACT’s focus has always been on education, providing reliable and up to date information along with support on the diagnosis and treatment of cancer in animals to veterinary professionals and pet owners”
- We met this lovely group at BVNA, they are an incredible team who are fighting an incredible cause!
Wood Green – The Animal Charity
