Hannah James. VetPartners head of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG), who oversees fundraising activities, said: “Homelessness is something which is really visible in society, and the work of StreetVet really touches the hearts of everyone at VetPartners.
“Our team members are very dedicated in their practice every day, and yet in their spare time, they are doing amazing things to help other people and animals in need. It has been lovely to see colleagues pulling together as teams to do something positive for charity.”
