  • Unfortunately we have decided not to proceed with just giving as they require a monthly fee and will deduct 5% on all transactions that go through their company. Since all students who are working so hard to obtain their fees, any deduction is unacceptable.
  • A 96 miles highland walk is being organised for Veterinary Vouchers further information will follow.
  • We have currently 30 2nd degree veterinary students receiving benefit from our charity.

    • Clare Yeadon has expressed her gratitude to the charity for offering their assistance to help with her tuition fees at Bristol University and she has generously offered to continue to support the charity in helping other students in similar circumstances to herself once she has qualified. The charity would like to thank Clare in offering her continuing support once qualified.

    Any qualified veterinarians who read this report perhaps if you were a 2nd degree student you might reflect on this as we would welcome your assistance in helping future colleagues.

  • Several students have decided to run marathons on behalf of Veterinary Vouchers. In order to donate and sponsor, please visit justgiving.com so you can donate using credit cards if you so wish. If you wish to donate to Veterinary Vouchers bursary fund, you can use the facility on justgiving.com for credit card donations.

  • To date Clare Yeadon enters her 3rd year at veterinary school at Bristol, she has successfully raised over £30000 to pay for tuition fees. Here is the challenge, can you do the same! The incentive being when you have successfully completed your course you will not have the burden of student loan for tuition fees. If there is anyone out there who wishes to help these dedicated students with their tuition fees, we would be grateful for any donations to the bursary fund.

    Another challenge, will we get more funding from people within the veterinary profession or not?

    Once you have qualified do not forget us and help the cause.

  • We are pleased to announce that a veterinary surgeon (who wishes to remain anonymous) is making an annual donation of £1000 to a 2nd degree veterinary student at Liverpool vet school. The vet in question is very sympathetic to this cause as he to was a 2nd degree veterinary student.
  • We have currently 24 2nd degree veterinary students receiving benefit from our charity. It is hoped that when these students qualify they will be in a position to assist other students in similar circumstances.
