We’re asking for staff and pupils at schools and nurseries across the UK to dress as their favourite animal for the day and raise money to help thousands of sick and injured animals. As part of the day we’d love to teach children all about pets and how to be responsible owners – linking this in with the curriculum too.

Teachers are excited to take part

Mrs Jeffries, a teacher from Enfield, North London said:

 “The children loved having an informative and interactive assembly from the Royal Veterinary College and now we’re all so excited to get dressed up and raise money for this great cause. It’s going to be lots of fun!”

Sign up today 

Sign your school up online and you can book in to have an assembly from staff and students of the Royal Veterinary College. We’ll also send you a free pack to help you plan your Furry Friday. Your pack includes:

• A handy event guide to help you get involved and ideas to raise even more money for the ACT  
• A fun and interactive lesson plan with resources linked to curriculum aims
• A poster to advertise your event
• Information on the Animal Care Trust and how your support of Furry Friday will help
• A permission letter to photocopy and send to parents.

This should be everything you need to run a successful Furry Friday, but if once your pack has arrived you'd prefer more of anything then just let us know. In the meantime, start to think about how your school can take part in some furry fun!
