Animal Free Research UK, Hitchin

This charity which was founded in 1970 does a fantatsic job in funding & promoting scientific procedures without the use of animals in medical research. It is the UK's leading charity in this field and is internationally reknowned for the work it does and is funded only by charitable donations. It works by providing grants to Scientists at Hospitals, Universities and other research institutions to investigate a more humane / ethical approach by replacing animals in medical research and testing. Grants are only provided if the the work is of high scientific value and proves to have potential in the use of a more reliable human model instead of using animals. They work very hard in promoting their cause and to date have awarded in excess of 140 grants for projects using human-related techniques in the medical research of Cancer, Diabetes and Asthma to name but a few. For all of these reasons that is why I am member of DHT and a great admirer of the work they do.
