About
The Humane Slaughter Association (HSA) is an independent registered charity and the only UK charity concerned exclusively in promoting the humane treatment of all food animals worldwide, including cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry, fish and minority species such as deer. The organization focuses on animal welfare in markets, during transport, at slaughter, and during killing for welfare reasons and disease control. It works through research, education, training and technical advances to bring real, practical and lasting improvements in food animal welfare.
Funding Opportunities
HSA Travel, Training and Other Events Grant
The HSA Travel, Training and Other Events Grant supports non-research events that promote the humane treatment of animals kept for food or other products during transport, marketing, slaughter, and killing for welfare reasons and disease control. This grant is designed for attending or organizing educational or scientific meetings, lectures, courses, or training visits, or for other small non-research events in support of the HSA's objectives. Applications must focus primarily on animal welfare during transport, at markets, or during slaughter or emergency killing. The grant is for non-research activities; research projects requiring funding should apply through the HSA's Large Research Grant (over £5,000) or Small Research Grant (under £5,000). Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year, but must be submitted at least two months before the event or travel start date to be eligible for consideration.
HSA Small Research Grant
The Humane Slaughter Association (HSA) Small Research Grant supports research projects focused on the humane treatment of all animals kept for food or other products during transport, marketing, slaughter, and killing for welfare reasons and disease control. This grant provides funding up to £5,000 for research projects where animal welfare is the main focus. The HSA specifically supports projects that clearly demonstrate animal welfare benefits, rather than projects primarily focused on non-welfare parameters such as animal production or meat quality improvement. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year, but must be submitted at least two months before the project start date to be eligible for funding.
HSA Large Research Grant
The HSA Large Research Grant supports larger scientific research projects focused on the humane treatment of animals during transport, marketing, slaughter, and killing for welfare reasons and disease control. This funding opportunity is specifically designed for research projects requiring over £5,000 in support. The grant promotes animal welfare research with a primary focus on welfare outcomes rather than production or meat quality parameters. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year, though submissions must be received at least two months before the project start date. The HSA works to advance humane practices worldwide and supports research that directly contributes to improved animal welfare standards in these specific contexts.
