PIRC is an independent charity developing participatory approaches to researching, communicating and connecting around cultural stories for a more democratic, equitable and sustainable society. Over the past decade, through our work first on environmental issues and later on broader social and democratic issues, we’ve learnt to recognise the deep connections between the issues our society faces and the multiple, interlinking oppressions that lie at the heart of the system. Poverty, climate change, isolation and loneliness, inequality, discrimination, over-consumption and political disengagement are all underpinned by the same structures. In this context, we work for a stronger civil society that has reclaimed the stories of our culture that encourage our better selves and reshapes society for the better. PIRC has a 40-year record of catalytic research, championing the public interest and informing public policy, and a more recent history of championing the vital role of cultural stories and movement-building in social change.

Despite being one of the most popular pets, rabbits are amongst the most neglected, with a vast proportion living out their days confined to a hutch, alone and unable to display the behaviours they would show in the wild. The Rabbit Welfare Fund aims to improve domestic rabbits’ health and welfare through campaigning, education and the most up-to-date advice. We offer advice and up to date education to owners, veterinary professionals, rescues and the pet trade and we campaign to bring legislation up to date, working alongside other animal welfare organisations where appropriate.
