Animal Health Trust - The science behind animal welfare

Give the gift of sight

You care about animals. That's why you're here. We also care. That's why we're here. Together we can make a real difference.

We recently restored the sight of a lioness in Romania and bears in China thanks to an incredible new piece of portable equipment. With this equipment we can restore the sight of bears, lions, horses and many more animals in the UK and across the world. We now need to raise funds so our vets can go back to China to save the sight of more rescued bears.


Bring light to lives

Your donation, however small or large, will help to give a new world of light and colour to many animals currently living in darkness.
