Our Charity Of The Year 2025

As a proud B Corp business, we are passionate about supporting the well-being of our people and Cornish communities. 

That's why, we're proud to share that we have selected StreetVet as our Charity of the Year for 2025, with all donations raised going directly to the Cornwall branch.

Delivering free veterinary care to pets belonging to those experiencing homelessness across the county, its volunteers have performed 2000+ consultations, supporting over 400 pets in Cornwall. It also runs eight Accredited Hostels in the Duchy, working to help people and their pets transition off the streets into safe, pet-friendly accommodation together. 

Zoe Abbotts, CEO of StreetVet said: "We were delighted to be chosen as Cornish Gems’ Charity of the Year for 2025. This collaboration will not only raise awareness of StreetVet’s work across Cornwall but also highlight the vital need for our services. All funds raised will directly support the 70+ outreaches taking place this year, ensuring that more pets and their owners receive the veterinary care they need." 

Over the next year, Cornish Gems will highlight StreetVet's vital work in Cornish communities, inspiring guests and the general public to donate to the cause, while encouraging team members to support the charity as part of their paid volunteer days. 

Michelle Baillie, Cornish Gems’ Managing Director, said: "I met StreetVet’s CEO Zoe at a networking event and was immediately inspired by the charity’s incredible work supporting those going through homelessness with their pets. 

"I invited her to our office to discuss how we might support this vital cause, and after a company-wide vote, we were delighted to let Zoe know that StreetVet had been selected as our 2025 Charity of the Year. As a passionate animal lover I couldn’t be more thrilled that Cornish Gems is supporting an initiative so close to my heart."
