Studies show that caring for animals is extremely beneficial for those
suffering with mental health issues. Now the impact of Covid-19 and
lockdown is having detrimental effects on those who have never
struggled with mental health before.
We have seen the potential role hens can play in providing life-changing support and comfort to those who could benefit most, and we have already gained interest from various institutions wishing us to continue. Obviously we would dearly like to have the opportunity to develop this exciting work further.

Since 2005, we have worked hard to educate and influence consumers
as to how the choices they make at the supermarket impact laying hen
welfare. Free range eggs now represent 67% of retail egg sales, double
what it was in 2004.
Recently we had developed and started to roll out lesson plans for schools, the aim being to teach children about animal welfare, food and farming, ultimately creating a compassionate generation who will help us to achieve our goal to see all laying hens enjoy a life outside. Unfortunately these plans are now on hold because of resources.

With your help we are able to provide important advice and guidance through our Hen Helpline, but we believe hen owners should also be
able to find vets who understand their pet hens’ specific needs too.
Therefore we are collaborating with veterinary institutions to help vets understand hens’ needs and improve care for our pet hens.
