Animal suffering matters and we should always call it out when we see it. But if our only question is how to reduce suffering, we end up narrowing the way we think about animals and their inner lives.
Rights Respect Compassion
Animal Aid is one of the UK’s most established and respected animal rights organisations. It was founded in 1977 with a clear mission: to achieve rights, respect and compassion for all animals.
The Secret Lives of Greyhounds
Coming later this year, The Secret Lives of Greyhounds is an investigative documentary exposing a pipeline of exploitation at the heart of an industry now facing worldwide condemnation.
Campaigning for animal freedom
We campaign against all forms of animal abuse. Since 1977, our campaigns have led the way in exposing cruelty, influencing policy, and shifting hearts and minds. Our work is evidence-led and fearless because we are dedicated to creating a kinder world.
Animal Aid Volunteer Network
We’re building a world where animals live free from harm and exploitation – and we can’t do it alone because real change happens when people come together.

Education
We are the only UK-based organisation that offers free school talks and workshops on animal rights issues across the country. Delivering hundreds of resources and vegan cookery demonstrations each year, we've reached tens of thousands of young people with our message of rights, respect, and compassion.
More testimonialsI just wanted to mention the students absolutely loved yesterday's session. It was very educational for our students, so thank you very much. I can't wait to book you again for the following year!
