Animal Health
Animal Health is the Government's Executive Agency primarily responsible for ensuring that farmed animals in Great Britain are healthy, disease-free and well looked after.
One of their key roles is to implement government policies aimed at preventing or managing outbreaks of serious animal diseases, and in doing so support the farming industry, protect the welfare of farmed animals and safeguard public health from animal borne disease.
In England and Wales Animal Health work to protect public health by ensuring that dairy hygiene and egg production standards are met.
They also regulate the trade in endangered species.
Ark
ARK is an international charity whose purpose is to transform children’s lives.
Founded in 2002 by a group of leaders in the alternative investment industry, pooling their skills and resources to improve the life chances of children, ARK delivers high social returns on philanthropic investment.
Originally a grant-making organisation, ARK’s delivery model was changed to maximise its impact and ensure strong accountability. ARK deploys the funds it raises by setting up and managing its own teams who are responsible for implementing its programmes.
ARK brings together passionate experts with the best talent from business to deliver its vision on the ground under the leadership of its Board of Trustees.
Through ARK’s Academies programme ARK has opened three schools in inner-city London boroughs with high levels of deprivation. They will open three more in September and aim to have at least 12 open around the country by 2012, with a faculty of 550 transforming the opportunities of more than 12,000 pupils.
