StreetVet Hastings

Launched in 2026, volunteer vets, vet nurses and support volunteers all work together to bring StreetVet’s vital work to the town. The team provides free accessible veterinary care to the pets of those experiencing homelessness across the local and surrounding areas.

The StreetVet Hastings team, supported by StreetVet's Clinical and Volunteer teams delivers a monthly outreach clinic in the local community. Through consistent, compassionate veterinary care and support, the team helps protect the vital human–animal bond, enabling those experiencing homelessness with their pets stay together across Hastings and the surrounding area, accessing support when they need it most.

Volunteers at each outreach location work collaboratively, sharing leadership, tasks, and responsibilities across administration and service delivery to ensure the outreach runs smoothly.

StreetVet Hastings

Each StreetVet outreach team delivers free accessible veterinary care directly into the community. Outreach clinics are held on the streets, in hostels or other homelessness support facilities. Our teams of volunteers take the practice to the pavement, meeting people and pets where they are. 

Anything that can be done in a consulting room, our volunteer vets and vet nurses can do at an outreach clinic, helping remove barriers to care while building trust and continuity.

At each outreach clinic, teams may provide:

  • Full health checks and clinical assessments

  • Vaccinations and microchipping

  • Preventative treatments, including flea, worm and parasite control

  • Diagnosis and treatment of illness or injury

  • Dispensing medications and providing follow‑up care

  • Blood sampling, urine testing and basic diagnostic procedures

  • Sampling and monitoring of lumps or wounds

  • Advice, guidance and education to support responsible pet care and ownership

  • Provision of daily pet essentials, including food, coats, collars, leads and toys

  • This outreach based approach ensures pets receive the care they need, in a trusted environment, supporting the wellbeing of both animals and their owners

StreetVet Hastings in action

The StreetVet Hastings team is one of StreetVet’s newest outreach teams, launching in 2026 and going from strength to strength, thanks to the support of a dedicated team of volunteers who work in conjunction with the StreetVet Central Team and Warming Up The Homeless.  

The team is committed to ensuring that no one has to choose between caring for their pet and accessing essential homelessness support services they need and deserve.
