Charity Clinical Choir for Sick and Injured pets this Christmas

Vets, vet nurses, volunteers and other members of the Blue Cross Animal Hospital in Grimsby's team have formed a choir to relieve the stresses and strains and challenging days in the veterinary world. They recently performed on BBC Radio Humberside and look forward to singing to the masses when able.

For Christmas they have created their own, veterinary version of The 12 Days of Christmas. Watch video here - https://we.tl/t-qGtA9Sl9PR

The team has been taking their lunch breaks to sing together over the past few weeks and have found it so enjoyable they were due to perform locally in Cleethorpes to raise funds for the sick and injured they treat every day, whose owners would not otherwise be able to afford the treatment their companions need. Sadly, the event was cancelled due to Covid restrictions but that hasn't dampened their spirits.

Natalie Everett, Deputy Nurse Manager at Blue Cross in Grimsby said: "We started our Blue Cross choir with staff and volunteers singing along together to lift our spirits on difficult days within the veterinary world and found that we actually really enjoy it! We've been practising Christmas Carols and we thought we would take the plunge and make our first public appearance and raise some vital pounds towards the sick and injured pets we care for and helping their loving owners who would otherwise not be able to afford vet care for their pets."

Sadly, the event was not able to go ahead but animal lovers can still help the pets treated at Grimsby and change the fate for pets needing a loving new home across the UK. Visit www.bluecross.org.uk/christmas to find out more.
