A thank you from all of us.

As we reach the end of 2011, I would like to thank everyone who has continued to make our work possible. Without our supporters and our grant holders, we would be unable to carry out the critical work that is stopping animal experiments and creating better medicine.

We are particularly grateful to all our generous supporters who have continued to give us donations in spite of the recession and to our departed friends who have continued to support our work through their legacies.

We have come a long way since we were founded in 1970 and we have saved countless animal lives with the stunning breakthroughs that have been made by our funded scientists. For 40 years, we have remained staunch in our conviction that one day we will live in a world where animal experimentation is a thing of the past and each year, we come closer to this goal.

Christmas is a time of believing; it is a time of hope for the future and a time for peace on Earth and goodwill towards men. I ask that each of you now joins me in also believing that this goodwill continues to find its way in 2012 and beyond to all the animals with whom we share this planet.

Wishing all of our friends and supporters a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! May the coming year bring more enlightenment to all as well as bringing renewed hope in the huge progress we are making towards ending all animal experimentation.

Many thanks!
