Hike raises over £3,000 for BSAVA PetSavers
Seven fundraisers took part in the event.
The event was one of the initiatives marking BSAVA PetSavers’ 50th anniversary.

More than £3,000 has been raised following a sponsored hike for the British Small Animal Veterinary Association’s (BSAVA’s) grant fund BSAVA PetSavers.

Organised as part of BSAVA PetSavers’ 50th anniversary, the event saw staff and supporters hike nine miles across the Malvern Hills on Saturday, 11 May. The money raised on the hike will help support clinical research into companion animal diseases.

Since it was founded as the Clinical Studies Trust Fund in 1974, BSAVA PetSavers has been entirely funded by charitable donations. Over the past 50 years, it has invested around £2.7 million in research and training programmes.

The hike was part of a series of fundraising events to celebrate the 50th anniversary. A swap shop was held in April and supporters are encouraged to take part in a series of ‘kiltwalks’ planned for later in the year.

Sarah Williams, grant awarding and fundraising manager for BSAVA PetSavers, said: “We had a fabulous time on Saturday with a great team of people. We are grateful to everyone for taking the time to raise awareness of what BSAVA PetSavers does and are thrilled with the amount of money that has been raised.

“A huge thank you to everyone who took part!”

The fundraising page for the hike is still open for donations.
