Summer School 2016: A Big Thank You
3rd August 2016
Our 2016 Summer School was a great success and this is in large part due to our wonderful sponsors. We would like to take a moment to thank them all individually.
One Voice
This Summer School would not have been possible without our partnership with the French organisation, One Voice. Their President Muriel Arnal spoke at the Gala Dinner and her excellent team were on hand to help us at the Summer School. We are terribly grateful for their support.
One Voice was founded by Muriel Arnal in 1995 and is the leading organisation for animal rights in France. One Voice campaigns to have animals legally recognised as nonhuman persons, for the legal recognition of the link between animal and human abuse, and to end all forms of animal exploitation.

In addition, to One Voice, the Summer School was supported by:
