Become a Friend of the ACT
The Friends of the ACT are a very special group of people who give us regular donations from £2 a month. By donating in this way they help us to do so much more, because they give us a dependable income. This means we can budget and plan ahead, devising the best long-term solutions to diseases
affecting many pets in the UK and purchasing the specialist equipment
needed to save animals’ lives.
As a Friend of the ACT you get a 10% discount on our merchandise
and an invitation to a special reception and tour of our facilities,
as well as all of our usual communications. For more
information on becoming a Friend call 01707 666237 or
email act@rvc.ac.uk.

Become a Patron of the RVC
If you’ve been inspired by the stories in this newsletter and would like to get more involved with the RVC, would you consider becoming a Patron?
Patrons are valued supporters who give more than £50 per month (or £40 plus Gift Aid) to the Patrons Fund. Once a year Patrons are asked to select an RVC project which would then receive the proceeds of the fund.
Throughout the year Patrons are invited to RVC events to learn more about us and how we are improving the lives of animals. If you would like further information about the scheme please call us on 01707 666237 or email patrons@rvc.ac.uk.
