Animal Welfare Foundation
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.
Ash Rescue Centre
Ash Rescue Centre is a Devon based charity that adopts a One Welfare approach to its work with animals, nature and people; a concept that recognises the link between animal welfare, human welfare and environmental conservation. Our 100+ acre conservation site provides a lifetime home to rescued elderly horses, who take their place as conservation grazers in the wildflower meadows and species rich grasslands that have been reintroduced to the site as part of the project.
Bees for Development
For over 30 years the UK charity Bees for Development has been using beekeeping to combat poverty, benefit biodiversity, and build resilient livelihoods for some of the world's poorest people. We provide skills and training to people living in poverty, to become successful beekeepers. This in turn encourages people to protect natural habitats, restore degraded landscapes, and mitigate climate change.
Born Free Foundation
Born Free is an animal charity that’s passionate about wild animal welfare and Compassionate Conservation. Founded by Virginia McKenna OBE, Will Travers OBE and Bill Travers MBE in 1984, we work tirelessly to stop the exploitation and suffering of individual animals living in captivity or in the wild.
British Chelonia Group (BCG), The
The BCG is a charity working entirely with volunteers. The Group’s objectives are for the benefit of the public to promote the conservation, welfare and care in general and to assist in the prevention of cruelty and suffering among tortoises, terrapins, marine and freshwater turtles, both in the wild and in captivity and to educate the public in these matters.
Compassion in World Farming International
The challenges of building a humane and sustainable world have never been greater. Against a backdrop of a population explosion and soaring food prices, intensive livestock farming poses a very real threat to our planet. Greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, biodiversity loss and water scarcity are all disastrous consequences of factory farming.
Dartmoor Zoological Society
Dartmoor Zoological Society is proud to shout about the charitable work we do. As a unique, wildlife conservation charity based in South Devon, we educate and empower people to be more connected with the natural world and to take greater responsibility for their impact. Helping people is as important to us as helping wildlife, and without inspired people in the world, how can we truly care for our planet and its special residents?
Environmental Investigation Agency UK
We investigate and campaign against environmental crime and abuse. Our undercover investigations expose transnational wildlife crime, with a focus on elephants, pangolins and tigers and forest crimes such as illegal logging and deforestation for cash crops such as palm oil. We work to safeguard global marine ecosystems by addressing the threats posed by plastic pollution, bycatch and commercial exploitation of whales, dolphins and porpoises.

The Hawk Conservancy Trust is a conservation charity and award-winning visitor centre that has worked in the fields of conservation, education, rehabilitation and the research of birds of prey for over 55 years.
