About Us

Vetlife is an independent charity that provides free and confidential support to anyone in the UK veterinary community who has emotional, health or financial problems.

Today, the charity is providing more support than ever. 2024 was Vetlife Helpline’s busiest year with 5,111 contacts.

We fund and manage 3 support services.

The charity is managed by a Board of up to 12 trustees who are all veterinary surgeons or registered veterinary nurses and understand the demands of the profession.  It has existed for over 150 years during which time it has evolved constantly to meet the changing needs of the profession.

Ask us for help – that’s what we are here for.

“Vetlife are an essential part of my support system – not just for the financial help but because I know that they have always done all they can to support me and I have grown to trust them.”
