The Bristol Paws Project

The Bristol Paws Project We are a volunteering/fundraising society made of vet and vet nurses from the University of Bristol🧡

🐾 The Bristol Paws Project is a volunteering and fundraising society that started in 2016

🧡 We are a group of veterinary and veterinary nursing students from the University of Bristol passionate about reducing the financial barriers to pet ownership and raising awareness about the benefits of the animal-human bond.

❓What do we do❓

➜ We work with many charities and organisations in the Bristol community who share the same vision as us. StreetVet, Bristol Outreach Services for the Homeless - BOSH, Bristol Animal Rescue centre and Caring in Bristol.

➜ We do regular outreaches with StreetVet, where our committee members join volunteer vets to provide essential pet care and supplies to those in need. We also work with Bristol Outreach Services for the Homeless (BOSH) where we hand out pet food and supplies to pet owners experiencing homelessness.

💬 We run educational talks throughout the year mainly based on shelter medicine and fundraisers to support the work we do and the charities we work with.

Earlier in our pub quiz event, we’ve raised a total of £645, which helped us continue our mission as a student-led fundraising society working to reduce financial barriers for people seeking care for their pets 🐶🐱

Your support makes a real difference to both pets and the people who love them, and we’re so grateful to have you with us on this journey! Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year 💫🎄

The StreetVet Bristol team received a lovely visit from gorgeous Billy during their last outreach.

Our team of volunteer vets and vet nurses were lucky to be joined by vet and vet nurse students from Bristol University, who make up The Bristol Paws Project 💙

A wonderful asset to our patients and us, Billy received his preventative flea and worming treatments and really enjoyed the attention and treats!

A big thank you also to Battersea for supporting our StreetVet Bristol outreach location.

Yesterday, we had our last outreach of 2025 at the Hartcliffe Microcampus 🧡 It was a great success, and it’s been heart-warming to see familiar faces returning each month, as well as new people joining us and getting involved!

This month’s session focused on pet care around Christmas, a time filled with festive hazards that can pose risks to our pets 🐾 We also gave out plenty of pet food to owners in need, and we’re incredibly grateful to see how much the community is enjoying and benefitting from these sessions.

Our next session will take place on Wednesday, 14th January, from 2–4pm. We look forward to seeing you again in 2026!

Massive thank you to who supported us and helped making this happen, and thank you and Golden Valley Vets for providing the food!
