Registered Charity No: 207996 (England & Wales).

UFAW’s vision is a world where the welfare of every animal affected by humans is maximised through a scientific understanding of their needs and how to meet them.

We aim to:

DISCOVER what matters to animals and DEVELOP scientific solutions to animal welfare problems

One of the ways we strive to answer such fundamental scientific questions about animal welfare is through funding a diverse range of innovative projects (ufaw.org.uk/grants). For example, we have provided funding for a novel research project aiming to reduce the number of animals used in biomedical research.

Funding research also provides invaluable PhD training for researchers globally, demonstrating our commitment to developing the next generation of animal welfare scientists.

DISSEMINATE evidence-based animal welfare information

The dissemination of evidence-based animal welfare information is a crucial aspect of our work. We share animal welfare science knowledge with both experts and the wider public to ensure that the information is translated into real-world animal welfare improvements.
