Dr Hadwen Trust becomes Animal Free Research Featured

The well known British foundation for the promotion of replacement methods to animal testing, Dr. Hadwen Trust, has a new look, a new name and a new website. Now the foundation it is called Animal Free Research UK.

The reason for the change: the Foundation's program should be immediately understandable in the name.

The name is not to be confused with the already since 1976 existing Swiss Foundation Animalfree Research, with which there is no organizational connections expect the essential elements of the project: both foundations pursue the goal of the complete replacement of animal experiments with the means of the promotion of research projects pushing the replacement or at least the reduction of animal experiments.

For this purpose, the British Dr Hadwen Trust was established forty years ago supporting innovative and outstanding work on replacement of animal experiments especially in medical research.

The British Foundation will continue to be known by the Charity Commission under both names. Donations can continue to be given to Dr Hadwen Trust.
