Getting active for animals
Animal Aid members and supporters work really hard
to support us and at initiating their own local campaigns. We are
really grateful to everyone for what they do, but it is the nature
of our enterprise that we always have to urge you to do more!
The action alerts
and news bulletins on this website
include ideas of how you can help our current campaigns, but there
are lots of things that are not time specific.
Here are a few suggestions of ways in which you might like to help
further.
Campaign
-
Join a local Animal Aid or animal rights group. Contact Kelly
at our head office for details
of your nearest group.
-
Set up a new local group yourself if there is not one in your
area. Contact Kelly for information about becoming a local
contact and making your group a success and read our guide
to setting up a group.
-
Subscribe to our email list if you would
like to receive regular emails about the latest campaigns by
Animal Aid and other groups.
-
Do a street stall - a great way of reaching the public and
spreading the word! Click here to order
a free Stall Pack, containing leaflets, posters, stickers
and petitions.
- Mobilise local residents and fight a planning application for
a factory farm, pheasant breeding unit etc. Click

Animal Aid has a network of school speakers and
we always need more people who are willing to go into schools, show
Animal Aid videos, give a short talk and answer questions. We can
provide training days and videos and leaflets and worksheets so

Speakers Guide. |
