BSAVA PetSavers to take part in Big Give Christmas Challenge
“We are thrilled with this opportunity to raise vital funds for BSAVA PetSavers” – Allie Selby.
Donations will be matched up to £10,000 fundraising target.

The charitable arm of the British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) is taking part in a festive fundraising campaign.

BSAVA PetSavers is aiming to raise £10,000 as part of this year's Big Give Christmas Challenge between 3-10 December.

Donations received by BSAVA PetSavers will be matched by The Reed Foundation and the Small Animal Medicine Society (SAMSoc) until the target has been reached.

Since it was launched in 1974, BSAVA PetSavers has invested around £2.7 million in clinical research and training programmes. All the money raised by BSAVA PetSavers as part of the Big Give's Christmas Challenge will be awarded in grants to support clinical research into companion animal diseases.

Julian Hoad, BSAVA president, said: “The Big Give Christmas Challenge offers donors a fantastic opportunity to see one donation make twice the impact, thanks to our match funders.

“If you can, please do consider supporting this campaign to fund more research into small animal health.”

Allie Selby, fundraising manager for BSAVA PetSavers, added: “We are thrilled with this opportunity to raise vital funds for BSAVA PetSavers.

A huge thank you to The Reed Foundation and SAMSoc for their support, without them this would not be possible.”

More information about the fundraising campaign can be found here.
