Recently, in the UK, the Bristol Vet School “Centaur Rugby Old Boys” celebrated their 20th annual reunion. To mark this event a rugby match and evening event was organised, and we were delighted to sponsor the rugby kit for the ‘Old Boys’, as they ran out 31-7 winners. Not only was it a wonderful social occasion, but there was an amazing amount of £8230 raised for a charity closely linked to mental health in the veterinary community – VetLife.
VetLife is an independent Charity that provides free and confidential support to anyone in the UK veterinary community who has emotional, health or financial problems. Today, the Charity is providing more support than ever. 2020 was VetLife Helpline’s busiest year with an increase in calls and emails of over 25% since 2019. The Charity is managed by a Board of 12 Trustees who are all veterinary surgeons and understand the demands of the profession. It has existed for nearly 120 years during which time it has evolved constantly to meet the changing needs of the profession.
One of the organisers, Rhys Beynon Thomas from ProStock Vets, Carmarthen was delighted with the event: ‘The weekend went very well thank you! We had a great match of rugby with the Old boys beating the current team 31-7!’
