Castlemaine, Victoria – November 11, 2022
Regional Community Vet Clinic (RCVC) are delighted to announce that they are the proud recipients of a $25,000 donation from the prestigious Albert & Barbara Tucker Foundation – https://www.tuckerfoundation.org.au/grants-awarded/regional-community-vet-clinic-limited/
This grant was awarded to RCVC on the grounds of the foundation’s objective for “The initiation and support of social change, which goes towards increasing the equal treatment and social acceptance of all persons in the community” as RCVC continue their mission to offer not-for-profit veterinary care to all members of the community facing necessitous circumstances.
The grant brings RCVC to a total of $275,000 towards their $400,000 goal of constructing a portable veterinary clinic on vacant council land at rear of Campbell’s Creek Community Centre to service pet owners across the region who desperately want to keep and care for a companion animal but are struggling due to financial or physical disadvantage.
With funding goals looking close to being reached, RCVC are hopeful of meeting their goal of opening a dedicated clinic by the end of 2023, with all further funding being used to cover operational expenses and grow their social outreach program.
