REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024 |
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). |
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
Objectives and aims |
Open Cages exists to create a world free from animal suffering. We campaign primarily to defend and improve the lives of animals intensively reared for food. |
Our charitable aims are: |
(a) to promote humane behaviour towards animals and the welfare of farmed animals; |
(b) to advance the education of the public in matters pertaining to animal welfare in general, and in particular (but not exclusively) the rearing, husbandry and general farming practices relating to the treatment of farm animals; and |
(c) the prevention of cruelty and suffering among animals. |
Our primary goals in this financial period were to; |
- raise awareness of the welfare of intensively farmed chickens - the most numerously farmed land animals in the world; |
- convince food businesses and the UK Government to adopt the improved welfare standards of the Better Chicken Commitment and; |
- grow the organisation to be able to campaign for animals more effectively. |
The trustees are aware of the charity commission's guidance on public benefit. We have taken it into account when making decisions regarding our activities to which the guidance is relevant. |

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024 |
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
Significant activities |
Achievement: we helped improve the lives of over 400 million chickens |
In 2024, the UK supermarkets Morrisons, Lidl, Tesco and Aldi agreed to improve their chicken welfare policies, reducing the suffering of over 400 million animals every year. |
Specifically, they agreed to reduce the maximum 'stocking density' for chickens farmed for their 'own-brand' fresh meat categories, to 30 kg/m2. |
What is 'stocking density'? |
Over 1 billion chickens are farmed for meat in the UK every year. These particular chickens are known as 'broilers'. The vast majority of them are kept in conditions which are bad for their welfare. |
Broiler chickens have almost no space to move around. Typically, tens of thousands of birds are kept inside a single indoor barn for their entire 40-day life. In their final weeks, the conditions get so crowded that an individual bird has less than an A4 sheet of paper in space each. That's 19 birds per square metre. |
'Stocking density' is the amount of chickens that are allowed to be kept per square metre. And the current standard is much too high from an animal welfare perspective. |
We are asking companies to adopt the improved welfare standards of The Better Chicken Commitment (BCC). Amongst other things, the BCC requires that the broiler chickens in a company's supply chain are given more space to live in: specifically, they must be kept at a maximum stocking density of 30 kg/m2 instead of the standard of 38 kg/m2. That's 20% more living space. |
While it may not sound like a lot on paper, it matters to the chickens. Studies show that reducing stocking density results in fewer of the painful welfare problems that chickens typically suffer from. Reducing density is a crucial step in our long term mission to undo the harms of intensive farming. |
How many animals will be affected? |
We estimate that the commitments from Tesco, Aldi, Morrisons and Lidl will affect over 400 million chickens every year - the vast majority of the chickens on their shelves. |
When will the supermarkets make these changes? |
- Aldi implemented the changes in October 2024. |
- Tesco says it will implement the changes by 'mid 2025.' |
- Lidl says it will implement the changes in 'early 2025.' |
- Morrisons planned to implement the changes by November 2024, however, Morrisons has informed us about its plan to implement the changes in 2025 instead. |
How did Open Cages contribute to these developments? |
For years we've campaigned alongside our friends in The Humane League UK, Compassion in World Farming and the RSPCA to improve broiler chicken welfare. We've focussed on raising awareness about the welfare problems in chicken farming and working with companies behind the scenes to find pragmatic solutions. |
Public campaigning |
Together with The Humane League UK, we ran a 3-year-long campaign asking Morrisons to adopt the improved welfare standards of the Better Chicken Commitment. Most notably we: |
- published an undercover investigation in 2021 revealing the conditions on four UK intensive chicken farms supplying Morrisons; |
- organised approximately 40 protests at Morrisons stores; |
- secured mainstream media coverage about the campaign. |
In 2022 we joined a global campaign asking Lidl to adopt the standards of the Better Chicken Commitment across Europe. Most notably we: |
- published an undercover investigation in 2023 showing the conditions in an intensive chicken farm in the UK linked with Lidl; |
- organised dozens of protests at Lidl stores; |
- reached millions of people on social media with information about the campaign; |
- Alongside The Humane League UK, wrote to the Retail Industry Awards calling for Lidl's 'Retailer of the Year' award to be revoked; |
- published a report on Lidl's chicken welfare standards with the BBC (see below.) |
BBC story: 'Millions of store chickens suffer burns from excrement' |
In February 2024, we worked with the BBC on an investigation into 'hock burn' - a painful welfare problem suffered by at least one third of the chickens sold on supermarket shelves. |
Surprisingly, hock burn can be seen on chicken meat with the naked eye. |
OPEN CAGES ADVOCACY LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 12036812) |
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024 |
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
In 2023, staff and volunteers from Open Cages took 2000 photos and videos of chicken products in 40 Lidl stores. We found that 74% of the whole chickens we surveyed showed signs of hock burn, and 94% of the breast meat packages showed signs of 'white striping disease.' |
Presenting our concerns and findings to the BBC, they investigated the hock burn rates of the top UK retailers, resulting in a shocking story which found that at least one-third of all UK supermarket chickens suffer from the condition.The story was covered by many leading news sites, and was featured in the popular magazine The Weekend. |
The story was a major success in raising awareness of the problems in intensive chicken farming, in particular the widespread use of overcrowded living conditions. We were pleased to see that Lidl made its commitment to reduce its broiler chicken stocking density 3 weeks later. |
In the subsequent months, Tesco and Aldi - the two largest retailers of chicken in the UK - followed suit, seeing that the industry was inevitably trending towards improved chicken welfare standards. |
Activity: we raised awareness of 'frankenchickens' in the mainstream media |
Of the 1 billion chickens raised for meat every year in the UK, around 90% are fast-growing breeds which are slaughtered at around 40 days old. |
We call these birds 'frankenchickens' because they have been selectively bred by the chicken industry to grow as fast as possible. |
The problem is that frankenchickens routinely suffer from many health problems including disease, lameness and sometimes even heart attacks, because their bodies can't cope with their rapid growth. |
This is the most urgent problem facing intensively farmed chickens. That's why one of the other requirements of the Better Chicken Commitment (BCC) is to end the use of frankenchickens, and instead use slower growing, healthier breeds. |
Most people don't know the true cost of cheap chicken. So in this financial period we put a lot of focus into informing UK consumers about the realities behind the chickens on the supermarket shelves. |
Co-op under fire as footage shows 'sick and suffering' chickens at supply farms |
In 2023 we published an undercover investigation into Co-op's chicken supply chain. On three farms supplying Co-op, footage showed any frankenchickens who were deformed, injured and filthy - as well as workers emptying bags loaded with corpses into bins. |
Co-op is known as an 'ethical retailer', and yet has not committed to ending the use of frankenchickens in its supply chain like M&S and Waitrose. Additionally, 96% of Co-op's members voted for the retailer to consider adopting the Better Chicken Commitment, however it did not adopt the policy. |
The footage was published in approximately 100 articles, including some of the UK's largest news outlets like the BBC, Daily Mail, the Independent, Yahoo News, MSN, and the Daily Express. We also reached hundreds of thousands of shocked consumers on social media. |
Disappointingly, Co-op responded to journalists by stating that "Our team have viewed the footage but have not found evidence that supports further investigation." We continue to call on Co-op to make a commitment to stop selling frankenchickens. |
BBC: Frankenchicken, farming and the cost of living crisis |
In 2023, the BBC produced a TV programme on frankenchickens, using our footage from Co-op's supplier farms. As reporter Lindsey Smith put it: "We think it's the right time to tell the story of how the UK became home to millions of "Frankenchickens"." |
Our CEO Connor Jackson was interviewed on the welfare problems suffered by frankenchickens, and how UK consumers aren't properly informed about what they're buying when they walk into the supermarket. |
The story was crucial in informing the UK public about the true cost of cheap chicken and it successfully put pressure on the chicken industry to improve its welfare standards. |
Premature death of 80m chickens raises concerns over UK's fast-growing breeds |
In 2023, analysing Government data, we found that 80 million UK chickens died before reaching the slaughterhouse in 2022. In effect, this means that they died on the farm they were raised on, likely from a welfare problem. |
We published our findings in a report with The Guardian, calling attention to the widespread use of frankenchickens and advocating for change. |
Frankenchickens die in great numbers, as a result of their fast-growth. Whereas slower growing chickens - the type required by the Better Chicken Commitment (BCC) - have significantly lower mortality. |
We used the Government data as evidence of the urgent need to stop the use of fast-growing chicken breeds. In the article, our CEO Connor Jackson comments: |
"These figures highlight the shocking scale of suffering and death at the heart of the UK's chicken industry. Just like eggs from caged hens, Frankenchickens must go if we want to live up to our ambitions of leading animal welfare standards." |
Superbugs and E. coli present in Lidl chicken |
OPEN CAGES ADVOCACY LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 12036812) |
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024 |
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
In 2024, as part of the global campaign calling for Lidl to adopt the Better Chicken Commitment across Europe, we teamed up with several animal welfare organisations to test chicken meat from Lidl for bacteria. |
Frankenchickens suffer from a lot of diseases and infections because they have poor immune systems. This means that farmers need to give them a lot of antibiotics. |
The problem for humans is that overuse of antibiotics on farmed animals can lead to those medicines becoming less effective, and this 'resistant' bacteria can stay on the meat even when it arrives onto the supermarket shelf. |
An independent laboratory in Germany was commissioned with testing meat from Lidl stores all over Europe - including the UK - for the presence of various bacterias. |
Shockingly, the laboratory detected antibiotic resistant bacteria and E. coli on one in two of the UK chicken products. |
We published these findings in an exclusive story with The Times, whilst gaining further coverage with LBC, Daily Mail and the Metro. We also reached millions of people on social media, raising awareness of the plight of frankenchickens. |
Activity: we called for animal welfare labelling |
In 2023, the UK Government opened a consultation on whether it should implement mandatory animal welfare labelling. Currently, there are no laws which require a retailer to label its meat with information on the welfare standards that the animal was raised in. |
The result is that UK consumers buy animal products every day largely unaware of whether they are supporting poor animal welfare standards. |
In 2024, we contributed to the consultation by strongly urging the introduction of mandatory animal welfare labelling in our official submission to the consultation. We also helped mobilise thousands of advocates to give their own contributions. |
Activity: we lobbied for better chicken welfare behind the scenes |
Dialogue with stakeholders is a crucial part of what we do. In this period we held meetings and had dialogue with major retailers including Asda, Morrisons, Aldi, Waitrose, Co-op and Iceland; major food service companies such as KFC, Nando's, Greggs, Caprice Holdings, Wonderfield Group and Pizza Express; Government bodies such as DEFRA and APGAW; and various members of the UK chicken industry. |
As part of this, we also attended the 2024 Pig and Poultry Fair to lobby key decision makers and make contacts in the chicken industry. |
FINANCIAL REVIEW |
Financial position |
Open Cages is funded through philanthropic gifts. We collect donations in the form of monthly donation payments and one off donation payments, and we apply for and receive funds in the form of grants. We also collect a small amount of funds from merchandise sold on our behalf by a third party. |
Our policy on reserves |
We retain reserves to ensure that the charity has a safety net of funds in the event of major opportunities or challenges. We have no fixed targets on how much we aim to retain in reserves as needs can change on a regular basis. Instead, we naturally retain a comfortable amount of reserves from only spending funds when we believe doing so would be more effective for animals than keeping the funds for future circumstances. |
We have no deficits to report. |
Going concern |
The trustees consider that the charity remains a going concern and that it has sufficient resources to meet its financial obligations for the foreseeable future. |
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |
Governing document |
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. |
OPEN CAGES ADVOCACY LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 12036812) |
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024 |
Open Cages (Open Cages Advocacy Ltd) is a CIO (Charitable incorporated organization) and a company limited by guarantee which governs according to our Articles Of Association. |
Open Cages is generally managed by our Chief Executive Officer Connor Jackson, who, as the Co-founder of Open Cages was also appointed as a Trustee. As a Trustee, he is employed according to the rules set out in our Articles of Association, see "Benefits and Payments to Charity Directors and Connected Persons" sub-clause (2), (4). |
The board of Trustees chooses to act primarily as an accountability mechanism in the event of impassable disagreement or misconduct. On both a day to day and long term basis, the board delegates decision making power to the CEO and any relevant employees or volunteers in the charity that are deemed appropriate. It is our belief that the "people on the ground" are best placed to make such decisions for the organization. This trust will generally be extended to future employees upon appointment and it is a goal of this board to increase the number of staff employed by Open Cages. |
Decisions for the organization which are of particular significance, such as recruitment of employees, are made by Open Cages leadership in close collaboration with the board due to the knowledge and experience of its members. |
Trustee recruitment and appointment |
Open Cages is part of a coalition of animal advocacy organizations called Anima International, which is also an organization in itself set up to facilitate and coordinate the national groups from an international level. |
Anima International has been part of Open Cages' inception through funding and sharing of knowledge and resources. Due to this close relationship and shared values, our board is made up of individuals from both Open Cages and Anima International. |
We generally select individuals who are within Open Cages or Anima International; who have an ongoing and active knowledge of and interest in our work; who have a history of trustworthiness and; who we believe are capable of making objective decisions taking into account the best interests of the organisation. We accept Trustee applications as far as the law requires however we are currently very unlikely to accept applications from individuals from outside the organisation. |
It is worth noting that for logistical reasons, Open Cages employs staff members on behalf of Anima International when those employees reside in the UK. The funds are transferred to Open Cages in the form of grants, with the funds being used exclusively on the aforementioned employment. These employees work full time for Anima International but as Open Cages is part of Anima International, they naturally devote some of their time to Open Cages in the form of assistance. |
