We are challenging new Public Order Act regulations that threaten peaceful advocacy for animals.
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.
Year of the Horse
Forcing horses to race has been cleverly marketed as ‘the sport of kings’ but behind this glossy veneer is a dark and disturbing reality.
Campaigning for animal rights
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.
Why veganism?
Veganism means putting your compassion for animals into practice by boycotting industries that profit from their suffering. A kinder world is possible and it begins with making small but powerful choices every day.

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!
