Who we are
We exist to end animal suffering
We're a non-profit organisation, a member of the Anima International coalition, and are inspired by the principles of Effective Altruism.
Our goal is to create a world free from animal suffering. In the UK, this means working with major food companies to secure policy change for farmed animals, running tailored public pressure campaigns, and securing legislative change through political lobbying.
What we do
We work with the UK's largest food companies to secure policy change for animals
By building strong relationships and collaborating with key decision-makers, we help turn commitments into real change.
Together with other NGOs, we've ensured that 8 out of 10 of the UK’s largest supermarkets have improved the lives of their broiler chickens: a policy shift that affects more than half a billion birds every year.
Our current focus
We're holding Pret accountable
In 2018 Pret A Manger made a public commitment to phase out frankenchickens by the end of 2026. These fast-growing chickens are a product of extreme overbreeding, growing 5x faster than natural and frequently suffering from painful walking disorders.
Pret broke their promise to end this practice, and now we're campaigning to hold them to account. You can too. Join 100,000 people in signing the pledge to take a break from Pret until they keep their promise.
