SPUC's Charities Bulletin is a tool for pushing for positive change in organisations with unethical policies. It reflects the stated or known stance and activities of over 240 charities and other organisations. Neither the absence nor the inclusion of any organisation should be taken to indicate approval or disapproval.
The purpose of this list is to promote a shift towards pro-life policies and away from abortion, embryo experimentation, euthanasia, population control and pre-natal screening/diagnosis. If an organisation that you currently support, or that you wish to support, appears on the list and has unacceptable policies or activities, please contact them and tell them about your concerns. Ask them to change their policies so that you can, in conscience, support them. Where this approach is not appropriate (i.e. with organisations that are evidently wholly committed to contra-life principles) look for alternative organisations to support and tell them why.
When contacting organisations bear in mind that they may have changed their policies since this information was prepared. If this is so, please let us know and let us have copies of relevant documentation or web-pages so that we can amend our information. The list is far from complete. There are many thousands of charities, and we hope to expand our coverage in future. Please let us know if you have any information that may be useful, or if you need help in approaching organisations.
We are very grateful to all those who responded to this appeal for information, and who have thereby made valuable contributions to this update. Please note: When "q.v." (quod vide) follows the name of an organisation, information about that organisation will be found under its own entry.
