CIWF Awards

Good Egg Award

The award recognises the University’s commitment to animal welfare, in particular, the use of free range eggs in all catering activities.

The University has been using free range eggs in its catering service since 2005. The win also demonstrated the University's continuing move to a totally animal welfare friendly catering service.

The Good Egg Awards were developed by CIWF, the leading farm animal welfare charity, to celebrate companies that have committed to freeing millions of hens from a life of suffering in battery cages.

There were 34 winners at the 2009 Good Egg Awards including the BBC, the British Library, Channel 4, John Lewis, Starbucks Coffee Company UK and Virgin Trains.

Good Chicken Award

The University was awarded the Good Chicken Award from CIWF in 2010. Winchester was one of only three higher education institutions to receive the award which recognised the University's use of free-range chicken in their catering operations.
