Award-winning pet insurance provider ManyPets UK and inspiring pet charity StreetVet will be teaming up and participating in this year’s Brighton Pride Parade on Saturday 5th August 2023.
StreetVet, a national charity that provides free essential veterinary care and services to the pets of those experiencing homelessness, operates a fortnightly outreach in Brighton where their team of volunteer vets and vet nurses go out onto the streets to provide free essential veterinary care to the pets of those experiencing homelessness in the area.
Joining the team of StreetVet volunteers walking in the parade at this year’s Brighton Pride Parade are ManyPets, a Charity of the Year partner for StreetVet who are making a quarterly donation to help StreetVet continue their vital work, as well as getting employees involved in fundraising activities.
At this year’s Brighton Parade each StreetVet participant will be wearing a very special limited-edition t-shirt designed by local Worthing resident the legendary Hercule van Wolfwinkle who has so far raised over £94,400 for StreetVet with just over £5,500 needed to hit the next milestone target of £100,00!
The t-shirt will only be available to participants of the event and is not available for general sale. To help raise vital funds for StreetVet who have seen a 300% increase in the demand for their services since the cost of living crisis started, an auction is being held for two lucky members of the public to get their hands on one of the limited edition StreetVet & Hercule van Wolfwinkle designed Brighton Pride 23 t-shirts.
Jen Gabrielle Chapman, the Head of Talent Acquisition & Inclusion at ManyPets said of the partnership: “We know that the world events of the last twelve months have had a disproportionate impact on pet parents across the UK. We asked the people at ManyPets HQ how they would like to make a positive impact – and the answer was clear.”
“We’re delighted to be supporting StreetVet at Brighton Pride, ManyPets have always had visibility at this wonderful event and to be there again this year to support such an incredible charity like StreetVet is an honour for our team.”
Jade Statt, Co-Founder, Clinical Director & Brand Ambassador for StreetVet said “We are really excited to have members of the team at ManyPets join us for the Brighton Pride Parade. As an organisation, ManyPets shares similar values to StreetVet and appreciates the importance of keeping pets healthy and together with their owners. The donations that we will receive will help StreetVet continue our vital work in providing free veterinary care to the pets of those experiencing homelessness. Our relationship with Hercule Van Wolfwinkle is one our favourites – he has raised such an incredible amount of money through making people smile and we absolutely love working with him, we were delighted when he agreed to commission an exclusive design for our StreetVet T-Shirts to celebrate Brighton Pride this year.’
