About Us

The Animal Care Trust (ACT) is the Royal Veterinary College’s (RVC) registered charity. It raises funds to support the College’s wide range of activities aimed at improving animal health and care.

We purchase vital, up-to-date equipment for the College’s hospitals, fund the building of new hospitals and the enhancement of existing ones.

We provide assistance to the College’s research teams in their endeavours to pioneer new treatments and cures for the diseases that cause your pets such suffering.

We support the College’s commitment to excellence in veterinary education, to ensure we have the best veterinary professionals and scientists of the future.

We know that if you are an animal lover, or have had a much loved pet treated at one the RVC’s hospitals, you will appreciate the fundraising undertaken by the Animal Care Trust to ensure that the College's hospitals can remain at the forefront of international veterinary medicine and continue to offer the specialist, world-class care that they provide to the thousands of sick and injured animals that visit each year.

It is thanks to the overwhelming loyalty and generosity of our supporters that we can raise these funds and support the College in these ways.
