At Turramurra Vet Hospital, we believe it is important to spread the word and educate people about the importance of care for animals. As such, we are proud of our support of a number of initiatives in both local community activities and global charities.
Local Community
Turramurra Vet Hospital conducts regular pet safety talks at local schools and has sponsored over 50 local community and school events in the last four years. Kindifarm visits which allow children to interact safely with a variety of young farm animals have been sponsored at Pymble Public School, Turramurra Public School, Sacred Heart School, and Pymble Turramurra (Handley Ave) Kindergarten. We have donated pet hamper prizes to the above schools plus Wahroonga Public School, Brigidine, St Edmunds School for the Blind, Warrawee Public School, Knox Grammar School, St John's Church at Wahroonga, Northern Suburbs Dog Training Club and St Ives Rugby Club.
Turramurra Vet Hospital is a proud sponsor of the Wahroonga Tigers Rugby Club, one of the largest junior rugby clubs in Australia.
Global Community
Turramurra Vet Hospital is proud to support conservation and animal welfare organisations including Australian Wildlife Conservancy, Bali Street Dogs, Fred Hollows Foundation, Guide Dogs of Australia and the SAVE Foundation. James organised the Stand Up for SAVE Comedy Night in 2007 which raised over $20,000 for the conservation of the endangered Black Rhino. The 2010 Jacaranda Party with local Australian, South African and Zimbabwean communities raised funds for Fred Hollows Foundation sufficient to cure blindness in 100 people.
