Hard-working Edinburgh University students, who provide free treatment to the pets of homeless people living in Edinburgh, have received a £2000 boost from a community grant scheme.
All4Paws currently run seven pop up clinics across the capital, including in busy locations such as Grassmarket and Leith.
The money will enable the veterinary clinic to buy life-saving equipment, to offer the highest standard of care to the pets of homeless people.
The money was awarded by the University of Edinburgh Community Grant Scheme, who have raised a whopping £200,000 for local community ventures.
James Campell is one of the many Edinburgh people who benefits from the clinics.
James, who regularly takes his dog to clinics held at Grassmarket Community Project said: "The clinic is great. If it wasn’t here, we’d face serious problems trying to get anywhere. It’s a godsend"
Abbie Lane, a veterinary student at the University of Edinburgh, said: “The community grant has enabled us to purchase some equipment needed to help set up our clinic on Spittal Street that was launched last year.
"This includes vital diagnostic equipment that will enable us to extend the breadth of our care.”
The University of Edinburgh Community Grant Scheme has awarded funding to more than 50 groups across Edinburgh.
