Join us as a Freedom Champion

Freedom Champions are at the heart of everything we do

Freedom Champions are ordinary people - just like you - doing something extraordinary to help vulnerable and suffering animals. By making a monthly donation, you will power all that we do to end the exploitation of animals. You will play a critical role in stopping cruelty.

Our Freedom Champions fund public protests and investigations to expose cruelty, lobby Government and raise awareness, all to bring about lasting change for animals in need.

Will you become one of our new Freedom Champions?

Freedom Champion Sign-Up Pack

When you sign up to become a Freedom Champion you will receive, as a special thank you, a funky Freedom Champion pin badge, 15% off all merchandise in our shop and our supporter newsletter, Release, twice a year. 

JOIN TODAY

Always know how your donations are making a difference

In our exclusive newsletter ‘Release’ we will keep you updated on how your donations are being used to help animals. As well as breaking campaigns, we will share campaign victories, updates and other ways you can take action. 

Give animals the most extraordinary gift. The gift of freedom.

For too long, animals have been exploited by people and companies who have stripped them of their rights and used them for whatever purpose they wish. Fight back. Prove that we can use our passion and determination to make a difference.

Until all are free.
