FUNDRAISING FOR A GREAT CAUSE
Looking after our wellbeing and mental health remains a hot topic in the veterinary world as the industry continues to experience significantly higher levels of su***de and depression than the general population.
This World Mental Health Day, we’d like to raise awareness about a fundraising challenge members of the 387 & West Midlands Cat Clinic team are currently undertaking in support of mental health charity Vetlife. Vetlife works to ensure that people in the veterinary community are aware of signposts to the right help if anxious, overwhelmed and struggling to cope. They fully fund their own 24/7 helpline, have a dedicated Health Support Team, and offer financial aid, on application, to members of the veterinary community struggling to make ends meet.
11 members of our team are currently participating in Vetlife’s ‘Active October’ campaign. Our target is to cover 700 miles this month through exercise, and we’re aiming to raise a pound for every mile!
