The Animal Welfare Foundation
Charity number: 1192203
Website: www.animalwelfarefoundation.org.uk
Description:
The Animal Welfare Foundation (AWF) is a science and knowledge-based charity which has been putting animal welfare at the heart of veterinary science and education for the past 40 years. Our aim is to deepen understanding of animal welfare and inspire evidence-based actions so that all animals can enjoy a better life.
Through funding ground-breaking research and leading impactful debates and conversations at all levels, AWF identifies and tackles animal welfare issues, always pushing for higher standards in the UK.
Research:
AWF has invested over £2.3M into animal welfare research to date. Projects funded by AWF have led to breakthrough diagnostics and treatments in many species, ranging from painful and contagious diseases in cattle, sheep and horses, to pioneering pain management work for cats. Leaving a gift in your will would help us invest in further research to improve the welfare of many species.
A platform for animals:
Your support could also help fund our annual animal welfare conference, which has raised the profile of many serious animal welfare issues and helped influence policy decisions, leading to changes in the regulations and laws governing the welfare of animals.
As a small charity we rely entirely on donations to support our work, you can get involved in our work both as an individual and as an organisation. For more details, please visit: animalwelfarefoundation.org.uk/support-awf
