Registered Charity No: 1203103 (England & Wales).
Helping people, saving animals
The Humane Research Trust is the UK’s largest charitable funder of exclusively animal-free medical research. We support pioneering scientists developing human-relevant alternatives to animal experiments, helping advance treatments while avoiding animal suffering.
Since 1961, we have funded scientists developing innovative, animal-free approaches to diseases including cancer, Parkinson’s, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s and eye conditions.
A humane future for research
Our vision is a world where no animals or animal products are used to research human health. To achieve this, we support scientists working to replace animal testing with more effective and ethical approaches.
Our work is entirely funded by the generosity of people who share our belief that animal welfare is as important an issue as human health.
Gifts in Wills
A gift in your Will can help fund pioneering animal-free medical research for generations to come. Legacy gifts enable us to invest in ambitious projects that could transform both medical science and animal welfare.
We urgently need the support of individuals, solicitors and firms - for a brighter future for medical research and for the animals currently suffering in laboratories.
