As a passionate "sofa campaigner" for animal rights and welfare, I was delighted to discover the Dr Hadwen Trust some years ago. I was surprised that the leading body for alternative and humane research is on our doorstep, when charities are usually based in London in what is certain to be expensive and luxurious locations. The work done by the Trust has to be one of the most ethical and logical projects to support; when evidence proves animal experiments are both unreliable and dated when alternatives are available and endorsed by professional scientists. A wonderful example of their work is a recent project supported by Brian May at Parliament where the Trust and Queen Mary, University of London have joined forces to create the first Professorial Chair in animal replacement science at Blizard Institute in London: http://www.drhadwentrust.org/latest-news/news-and-views/post/172-rock-legend-backs-dht-at-parliament-for-worlds-first Surely this massive leap forward for science, research and the ethical development of medical practice and treatments is enough to qualify this wonderful organisation for this award!!
