Vaccine centre is 'lifeline' for 100 people struggling to feed and keep their pets

Outside Ambition Lawrence Weston community centre, people line up with their dogs on leads and stop to grab a free hot drink and snack under the blue gazebo. It's a cold and windy day in Bristol but the atmosphere is warming and cheerful, with volunteers and charity staff welcoming familiar faces inside the building.

Once a year, Bristol Animal Rescue Centre unites with Bristol Paws Project to set up a vaccine drive to support the city's pet owners on benefits or low incomes who cannot afford to vaccinate their pets. This year, more than 100 people are on the waiting list to speak to vets and University of Bristol veterinary students about their worries for their cats and dogs.
