It was my honor as BVNA president to choose our charity of the year. The British Hen Welfare Trust is a very worthy charity. It is amazing to read what the volunteers do for the charity and certainly rehoming nearly 500,000 hens is an amazing achievement! I hope you enjoy this small series of articles from the BHWT.

Jane Howorth is the Founder of the British Hen Welfare Trust, which has been awarded the BVNA Charity of the Year 2015/6. Jane was inspired to help battery hens in the 1970s after watching a Panorama documentary highlighting modern farming practices. In 2005 the British Hen Welfare Trust was formed.

It now has more than 30 teams across the UK and over 470 volunteers. Over 480,000   hens have been saved from slaughter in the past 10 years and the charity hopes to rehome its 500,000th hen very soon. Jane is keen to challenge veterinary views on hen keeping.
