We set up our Community Fund<\/a> in 2020 in response to the pandemic, to help dogs and owners in need across the UK. A programme of support for tails.com charity partners chosen by our customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Since then, we\u2019ve built long-term relationships with incredible charities like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We’ll continue supporting charities that are important to you, using our platform to spread the word about the work they do. Want to join in? Follow us on Facebook<\/a> or Instagram <\/a>for all the latest updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And in case you missed it, we shared the stories of some of the heroes behind these causes. So come and meet them over on our YouTube channel.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n StreetVet<\/a> is an award-winning charity that delivers free veterinary care to pets and their owners experiencing homelessness across the UK. We\u2019ve been supporting them for 6 years, helping them provide essential care to more dogs and owners in need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Around 320,000 people are currently experiencing homelessness in the UK. Anywhere up to 25% of them have a pet. And these numbers have been growing since the pandemic. So, in 2023 we formalised our long-term relationship with StreetVet<\/a> to make sure they get the extra support they need.

Here are some of the highlights from last year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n On your behalf, the tails.com team make regular donations to keep StreetVet\u2019s amazing work going. This year we reached \u00a329,249<\/strong> – go team!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Christmas is the season for giving. So for every packet of Good Dog Treats that you purchased over the festive period, we sent 25p straight to StreetVet. That raised a whopping \u00a314,249 <\/strong>from your festive shopping alone. What a tasty way to support a wonderful cause\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n In addition to donations, we were also able to support StreetVet with an initial \u00a37,500<\/strong> so they could enter The Big Give<\/a>, a crucial platform from which to generate further donations. We told you all about it, and you told all your friends – resulting in a staggering \u00a340,163 <\/strong>raised! Give yourselves (and your dogs) a big pat on the back for that one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n From working on the streets for years, StreetVet Clinical Director & Brand Ambassador\/Co-Founder Jade Statt knows the bond between these owners and their pets is profound. Not only do their pets provide warmth, comfort and security, but they offer a crucial sense of purpose. The health and wellbeing of their companions is often a major priority for these owners.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
