Move more, give more: VetPartners Month of Movement returns for May

Well done: Parklands Vets team took part in the Belfast Half Marathon

May kicks off the annual VetPartners Month of Movement - and we’re encouraging colleagues to get moving.

Whether you’re strolling through the park, smashing a run, cycling new routes, paddling, skiing, dancing like nobody’s watching, climbing higher, diving in for a swim, or flowing through yoga, it all counts.

Big or small, fast or slow, every minute of movement adds up. Let’s make this month one full of energy, fun, and feeling great.

For every hour of activity logged throughout May, VetPartners will donate:

• €2.50 to Irish Guide Dogs

• £2 to Guide Dogs Northern Ireland

There’s no fundraising required from you. VetPartners will take care of all donations – all you need to do is get active and log your movement.

Scaling new heights: The team at Tower Vets in York climbed Scafell Pike

All activity is combined into one team total, so every step, stretch, and stride helps make a difference.

Last year was our biggest Month of Movement yet, with colleagues clocking up an incredible 13,843 hours of activity - raising £55,372 (€63,525) for charity. Let’s see if we can go even bigger in 2026.
