Charitable Trusts and Foundation

The difference a Trust or Foundation can make – Pets and People

Around half of our clients are elderly and many of our clients have a disability too. In many cases their companion pet is the only friend they have.

Although we are primarily regarded as a charity that betters animal welfare, our work is also for the benefit of those within society that are disadvantaged, elderly and vulnerable.

Our free veterinary services have lasting and positive outcomes for our thousands of clients across the UK and the Charity Commission recognises that PDSA helps to reduce poverty.

As PDSA supports both pets and people, we receive funding from charitable trusts that support the following causes:

• Animals
• Elderly
• Education / training 
• Disability 
• Relief of poverty 
• Medical / health / sickness
   

If your charitable trust or foundations objectives fall into any of the above causes, then please contact the trust team at PDSA to see how we can work together to improve lives - both pets and people.
