The Issue
Animals have been used for centuries for the purpose of science. Even though technology has moved on significantly, laboratory animals are still relied upon in many areas of scientific research.
Every gift no matter how big or small makes a difference.
Legacy donations help to support our work for generations to come.

As a small charity, we welcome support in different areas of the organisation.
Our aim is the elimination of the need to use laboratory animals in any kind of medical or scientific procedures, but FRAME accepts that a total end to their use cannot be achieved immediately. However, the current scale of animal experimentation is unacceptable.
Through the use of ethically donated human tissues, computer modelling and other new and innovative techniques, research can provide data that is more directly relevant to human conditions and disease. FRAME uses laboratory and desk based research to investigate such potential new, valid scientific methods and promotes them through various campaigns.
In the UK 3.4 million scientific procedures were carried out on animals in 2019, just a 9% drop over a decade. Our ultimate aim is to remove the need for laboratory animal use in any scientific procedures for the benefit of human health. Animals are still heavily used to investigate human disease and predict human responses to chemicals and drugs. Whilst a total end to animal use is not immediately possible, we believe the current scale of animal experimentation is unacceptable and unnecessary.
Modern scientific methods that use human tissue, computer modelling and other new and innovative techniques, can provide data that are more directly relevant to human conditions and disease. Despite a legal requirement to use methods that don’t involve animals where they are available, their development and uptake remains slow. We want to change this.
Scientific procedures involving live animals were carried out in Great Britain in 2019, down 3.4% from the 3.52 million in 2018.
Of scientific procedures involving live animals were carried out on mice, fish and rats.
Scientific procedures involving live animals were for experimental purposes.
Scientific procedures involving live animals were for the creation and breeding of genetically alternated animals.
