meetings free to ensure access for those who could not otherwise attend. However, running our meetings is costly and involves an enormous effort from UFAW’s staff. As a charity, supported entirely by donations, we can only keep meetings free and run our other
activities with your support. If you are in a position to do so, please consider making a donation when you register.
