Although we are only a small group we sometimes find ourselves in a position to make donations to groups, nominated by our members, which are working directly for the welfare of animals. Below are some details of groups to which we have donated.

Animal Aid peacefully fights animal abuse and promotes a cruelty-free lifestyle. Animal Aid's educations team delivers 100s of talks in schools and colleges across the UK every year. Recently funding from Animal Aid helped develop a non-animal test to replace lethal dose animal tests. For the second year running Animal Aid has organised a Future of Science Student Conference encouraging young people to pursue a career in animal-free research. Animal Aid's petition to ban snares achieved the 100,000 signatures necessary for it to be debated in parliament. Later that year Wales banned snares. | |
