This June, we were kindly awarded an incredibly generous donation of £7,000 for the purchase of a brand-new blood collection kit.
The Prowting Charitable Foundation is committed to supporting charities devoted to the wellbeing of dogs and horses, among other worthy causes.
We are extremely grateful and thankful to the Trustees for choosing us as a charity to support.
The money donated will go towards purchasing a new collection kit, complete with all the items we need to run a donation session. This will expand our capacity and allow us to run more donation sessions across the country. As the charity has grown and we are able to reach more areas, our current kits were becoming stretched and limited how many sessions we could run at once. This new kit will make a huge difference in enabling us to run more sessions and help to save more lives.
Last year, we collected over 3,700 units of blood and dispatched over 5,800 blood product orders to vets across the country. Thousands of dogs every year need lifesaving blood transfusions and our mission is to ensure the blood they need is there. Since the charity’s beginnings, we have had over 15,000 wonderful donor dogs help us to that end.
Managing Director of Pet Blood Bank UK, Katrina Wilkinson said, ‘We are incredibly grateful to The Prowting Charitable Foundation and its Trustees for the fantastic £7,000 donation towards purchasing a new blood collection kit. This vital support will help us increase the number of sessions we have the capacity to run, helping us keep up with the demand for blood. With just one donation potentially helping to save up to four lives, the difference it makes is incredibly significant’.
A big thank you to the Prowting Charitable Foundation for supporting our mission to help vets save the lives of dogs in need – we are so happy it resonated with such a like-minded organisation.
