Legacies are a lifeline
t is no understatement to say that legacies have had a transformative effect at the ACT helping us build our campuses and hospitals, fund our pioneering
earch as well as supporting students at the beginning of their professional lives to ensure they can reach their full potential (so vital for the future of animal medicine).
Gifts in wills come in all shapes and sizes and every donation can make a lasting impression on the work of the ACT. Thanks to gifts received in the last few years alone, we have been able to:
• fund vital life-saving equipment for our hospitals
• support areas of research like our pioneering
feline diabetes
• expand the RVC hospitals
• establish a programme with Chang Mai
University to help ensure Thai elephants are
well cared for by their mahouts
• develop scholarships to support the brightest
and best prospective vets, nurses and scientists
