Nearly 4 million animals were used in research in the UK in 2017 (latest Home Office statistics)

Every minute of every day, 7 animals are used in research in the UK

We have awarded grants to over 250 research projects since our foundation in 1970

With your help, we can free animals from laboratories for good.
