At Cats Protection we’re here for every cat. At the forefront of research on cat welfare, we use our decades of experience to support cat owners to keep their pets happy, healthy and safe. From creating a cat-friendly home, to understanding their behaviour, to fostering cats for anyone fleeing domestic abuse. We know that, for many people, their cat is part of the family. So our trained volunteer listeners are here to support anyone who’s dealing with the heartbreak of their cat’s death, a cat who has gone missing or difficult issues like euthanasia. We also offer cat owners peace of mind that, if they should pass away themselves, we’ll look after their cat and find them a loving new home. Helping people understand their cats better means we can often avoid the need for owners to give up their pets. But when rehoming is the right thing to do, we look after cats with care and kindness, and help them find a loving new place to stay. We campaign to make sure cats are not forgotten by decision makers, speaking out on issues like kitten smuggling and cat theft. And we run the world’s largest single-species neutering programme, for both pets and feral cats, to support a healthy and balanced cat population. Whatever it takes, we’re here for cats and the people who care for them. Making a better life for cats, because life is better with cats.

Animal Aid is the UK’s largest animal freedom organisation, and one of the longest established in the world, founded in 1977. We work for a future where all animals - from those who share our homes to those farmed for food, used in experiments or raced for entertainment – can live free from killing, confinement and fear. Our campaigns combine investigations, research and public education to expose hidden suffering and win lasting changes in law, policy and culture. Rooted in vegan values of kindness, fairness and dignity, we support people, institutions and businesses across the UK to make compassionate choices and help shift our society from harming animals to protecting their freedom and wellbeing. Connect with us to collaborate, partner, or support the shift to animal freedom.

HFIG represents fishermen, fish merchants and processors on East Yorkshire’s Holderness Coast. Our members work together to preserve and promote a healthy, sustainable and successful fishery. The cold North Sea waters of East Yorkshire’s Holderness coast provide some of the UK’s best quality seafood. Fishermen have worked this area for generations and today our catches are exported around the world. The modern fishery uses environmentally sustainable methods, has almost zero bycatch and supports more than 70 businesses. This is a time of unprecedented change for the Holderness fishery, though. More and more industries are staking a claim to the Yorkshire coast. When our fishery began, over 400 years ago, there were no wind farms and no gas wells. No-one was dredging for gravel, or digging trenches for pipelines and cables. There were no giant container ships, dragging miles of anchor chain across the seabed. Today, the seas are increasingly crowded and traditional fishing grounds are shrinking day by day. Nevertheless, the Holderness fishery survives and continues to provide hundreds of jobs and millions of pounds for East Yorkshire’s economy. Low impact fishing methods, careful management and a commitment to sustainability have given us the healthy and successful fishery we have today. The Holderness Fishing Industry Group was formed in 2011, by Holderness fishermen, the fish merchants who buy and market their catches and the processors who cook and sell them. The Group’s aim was to help them to work together, to protect this traditional fishery and ensure that it remains sustainable into the future.
