Story
We're taking on the Whole Lotta Hoopla challenge!
Over the 4 weeks of September, we (Sophie, Catriona, Amy, Jessie, Celean and Juliet) will each be doing 4 hoop related activities to raise money to fund and promote non-animal research methods.
🐭What will we be doing?🐭
We’ll be learning to hula hoop, creating friendship bracelets, baking hoop-shaped treats, cross-stitching on an embroidery hoop and so much more!
🐭Why?🐭
FRAME's vision is a world where non-animal methods are accepted as scientific best practice. In the UK, 2.76 million scientific procedures were carried out on animals in 2022, a decrease of 10% from 2021. We want to get that number to zero.
We work for FRAME and constantly see the hoops scientists have to jump through to find, develop and use non-animal research methods and we want to make it easier for them.
🐭How can you help?🐭
We'd love you to consider donating to our fundraiser! Every pound you donate goes towards funding and promoting non-animal methods. One project you could be helping to fund is our Innovation Grant scheme which provides small grants to enable scientists to explore innovative ideas, methods and techniques for replacements to animal testing.
Feeling inspired? You could host your very own hoop-themed fundraiser! Visit frame.org.uk for more info.
Thank you for your kindness and generosity!
