TWO pet charities are set for a much-needed boost thanks to the fundraising efforts of vets, nurses and receptionists at a veterinary practice.

Colleagues from Shearbridge Veterinary Centre in Queensbury and their surgery in Hipperholme, Halifax, took part in a sponsored 14-mile walk, taking in five reservoirs.

They raised £1,000 for two local charities - Knine & Kitty Care and Lurcher Link.

Joined by family and friends, they took in five reservoirs - Odgen, Warley Moor, Leeming, Hewenden and Doe Park - on their route, Shearbridge Vets clinical director Sarah Reeves said: “The walk was a great way to connect with everyone outside work. Surpassing the £1,000 milestone was the cherry on the cake.”
