AGM SHEFFIELD DOG RESCUE NOV 2023

Kennel Report
Since our last AGM we have taken in a total of 14 dogs. We haven’t had any dogs from the dog wardens this year as they haven’t had any available for us to take in, they think this could be due to social media and being able to share the lost dogs and get them reunited with their owners. Although we haven’t had as many dogs come into our care in comparison with 2019 or pre pandemic we have found each dog that comes to us seems to have more complex issues. This could be behavioural such as severe separation anxiety or dog aggression etc or ongoing medical conditions which is a bigger/harder commitment for finding them a new home so the dogs do seem to stay with us a lot longer now before they find their new home.
Sadly we have had to say goodbye to our longest term dog Scooby. He was an incredible age around 17years old but sadly his back end had gone and his quality of life had deteriorated massively. We have got his ashes back and scattered him in his garden as it will forever be Scooby’s garden.
Shop Report
It’s lovely to have the shop back up fully with no covid restrictions.
Our volunteer numbers are still lower than we would like. But it hasn’t stopped us doing the best possible with the man power we have.
Donations are coming in. Customers always feel happy with seeking out bargains. The shop has a very friendly atmosphere, for both volunteers and visiting customers. Feedback is always received with thanks.
shop is not only a wonderful source for the charity. We also provide a service to the community. It’s very satisfying that we allow locals to obtain household items and clothing at affordable prices. When so many families are our struggling.
We ended this year with 7 shop volunteers working regular shifts each week. Some are doing 2 or more shifts to make up for our numbers being down.
All fire safety checks were carried out as required. Energy bills paid and no alterations were made to the tenancy.
Treasury report
For the period 1st November 2022 to 31st October 2023
we have funds of £373,000 in our bank accounts
Shop takings were £32,000 and shop expenditure £24,500
Other expenditure was £50,750 but this was offset by donations / bequests of £43,000
The overall result for the year is a decrease in funds of £273
The bulk of the funds are with Co Operative Bank
We now have full access to the Nat West account so this is no longer an issue.
We still need access to two savings accounts with Virgin Money (formerly Yorkshire Bank) so this is an ongoing task.
I have identified some donations going directly into our accounts:-
Charitable Aid Foundation into Nat West
Easy Fund Raising - cheque may still be going to Mavis address but I have recently updated this to the Nat West account
Just Giving - cheque ?? (no funds this year so following up to see where donations are going to)
