Annual report

2025 was a year of challenge for OneKind, but we saw a collective effort from
our staff, trustees, supporters and funders. This meant we continued to make
progress for animals in Scotland, and we started a shift towards a more
sustainable future for the organisation...

A fox curled up under a tree.

We continued to influence government policy and parliamentary debate.

We helped build momentum around the need to ban greyhound racing,

We raised the profile of wild animals kept as ‘exotic pets’.

We advocated for an end to farrowing crates for pigs.

And we gave evidence to a parliamentary inquiry into the government’s food policy.

Our annual Impact Report highlights the progress we made in 2025.
