StreetVet Norwich

Launched in 2020, volunteer vets, vet nurses and support volunteers all work together to bring StreetVet’s vital work to the local community. The team provides free accessible veterinary care to the pets of those experiencing homelessness across Norwich.

The StreetVet Norwich team, supported by StreetVet's Clinical and Volunteer teams delivers at least two outreach clinics a month 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 Norwich, 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 Norwich

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 Norwich in action

The StreetVet Norwich team have consistently provided a vital outreach service to their patients in the city centre of Norwich since 2020.  More recently, their support has expanded to support clients once they have moved into independent living accommodation across the Norfolk area.  This includes seeing clients in vet practices such as our local partner practice, Taverham Vets.  The StreetVet Norwich volunteers are also very active fundraisers and have hosted several events to raise funds locally including quiz nights to help raise much needed donations and awareness of StreetVet in their local area.
