Compassionate Dorset is a voluntary animal welfare group and a local supporter group for the charity Compassion in World Farming. We aim to help end factory farming by empowering local consumers to make a difference for animals, people and our planet – through our everyday food shopping choices. We encourage people to eat free-range and organic meat and dairy to support higher welfare, sustainable food and farming, help people to understand what our food labels really mean, and promote a greater reliance on meat-free and vegan plant based diets to help reduce the UK’s unsustainable demand for cheap, low welfare meat and dairy that is greatly contributing to climate change.
Sustainable Dorset is delighted to have been chosen by leading Dorset law firm Blanchards Bailey LLP as their charity of the year 2018. Blanchards Bailey, has four offices across Dorset in Blandford, Weymouth, Dorchester, and Shaftesbury. Its 70-strong colleagues will be fund-raising for our charity throughout the year and raising awareness of sustainability through its many staff, associates and clients.
