Anti-Slavery International is the world's oldest international human rights organisation, founded in 1839. It is the only charity in the United Kingdom to work exclusively against slavery and related abuses. We work at local, national and international levels to eliminate the system of slavery around the world by:

· Urging governments of countries with slavery to develop and implement measures to end it;

· Lobbying governments and intergovernmental agencies to make slavery a priority issue;

· Supporting research to assess the scale of slavery in order to identify measures to end it;

· Working with local organisations to raise public awareness of slavery;

· Educating the public about the realities of slavery and campaigning for its end.

The Castles of Wales web site provides visitors with photographs of the most famous Welsh castles. The site covers a wide range of topics related to Welsh castles and Welsh medieval history. We provide information on over 400 different Welsh castles, accompanied by high quality photographs, as well as profiles of the men responsible for their construction and an explanation of the turbulent times in which they lived. There is also a glossary, (a list of words with their meanings) which is very useful, as it has links to pictures, which illustrate exactly what is meant.

The Imperial War Museum is unique in its coverage of conflicts, especially those involving Britain and the Commonwealth, from the First World War to the present day. It seeks to provide for, and to encourage, the study and understanding of the history of modern war and 'war-time experience.' The Museum spans a huge range of activities not only at its main London location but also at its four further branches.

The wars of the twentieth century have affected each and every one of us in some way, and the Imperial War Museum is here to tell all our stories, covering all aspects of life in wartime.
Duxford retains its wartime atmosphere and many of its planes still fly. Biplanes, Spitfires, Concorde are among the 180 historic aircraft on show, complemented by our annual Air Shows.

As bombs rained down on London in 1940, Winston Churchill and his War Cabinet met in The Cabinet War Rooms. Today visitors can see it just as it looked during the war years.

HMS Belfast is a cruiser, moored on the River Thames. She served throughout the Second World War, playing a leading part in the destruction of Scharnhorst, and the Normandy Landings.

The Imperial War Museum North is now open. Situated on the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal in Trafford the museum offers people of all ages thought-provoking displays.
