Students at The College of Animal Welfare at break timeThe College of Animal Welfare was established in 1989 by one of the UK’s leading animal welfare charities, Wood Green Animal Shelters in Cambridgeshire. The vision was to use education to help tackle animal welfare issues and the problem of unwanted and abandoned animals.

In 1996, the College, became an independently managed, not-for-profit, organisation in its own right and changed its name to The College of Animal Welfare. We strongly believe that education and training is the key to raising standards of animal welfare. Today, the College has centres in:

  • Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire
  • Tingley, West Yorkshire (inside Campus Vets and Pets)
  • Potters Bar, Hertfordshire
  • Edinburgh, Scotland
