Joanna Page announced as ambassador for PDSA
Gavin and Stacey actress Joanna Page has become an ambassador for veterinary charity PDSA.
Page comes on board as the charity looks to raise £6m to replace three outdated centres and equipment.
She said: “Pets are such an important part of people’s lives; I love my dog Daisy to bits and could not bear to be without her. PDSA helps hundreds of thousands of sick and injured pets, saving lives every day of the week and this service is funded entirely by public support.
“Giving the gift of life to pets in need is no mean feat, so supporting them was a very easy decision for me.
“The charity desperately needs to build new hospitals and, as one of these will be in my home country, and because I am probably one of the biggest animal lovers in the world, I want to do all I can to support the charity’s amazing work.
“I am going to be a very hands-on ambassador and will soon be visiting PDSA’s existing pet hospital in Cardiff to live and breathe life there. I’ve always wanted to work with animals and am looking forward to sitting in on consultations, meeting the pets and even observing some operations.”
Page will be involved in fundraising activities, with a trek to Peru planned.
