The Animal Welfare Foundation (AWF) is science-led and knowledge-based charity who has been putting animal welfare at the heart of veterinary science for the past 40 years. 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. Our aim is to deepen understanding of animal welfare and inspire evidence-based actions so that all animals can enjoy a better life. 

The charity was established from a legacy left to the British Veterinary Association (BVA) in 1983 and was set up as an independent charity to work directly with the veterinary profession to promote best practice and improve animal welfare for generations to come. As the BVA’s charity AWF has a close working relationship with BVA, which remains one of its key stakeholders and supporters.
