About us
Who we are
Founded nearly 20 years ago by Jane Howorth MBE, the British Hen Welfare Trust is a national hen welfare charity which rehomes over 60,000 hens a year around the UK. Based in mid Devon, and affectionately referred to as Hen Central, the charity works collaboratively with the industry, public, and many national stakeholders to improve hen welfare and raise awareness of hens around the globe. In addition to rehoming hens, our work extends further to education, mental wellbeing, nutritional campaigns, and global veterinary initiatives. We are a friendly and supportive team of 15 and offer a flexible approach to work, the majority of the team are home-based with the option to work in Hen Central.
The BHWT counts Jamie Oliver, Amanda Holden, Jimmy Doherty and Pam Ayres as its Patrons.
