Chairman's report for WRAS Enfield year ending December 2020 2020 proved to be a very challenging year for the charity as It was for most of us due to the arrival of covid 19 in the UK. We began to find shortages of food for the animals and what we could purchase was being rationed, and with the centre being closed io visitors along with the tea shop we were concerned about the affea of funding for the upcoming year. With many rescue and rehoming centres along with veterinary not taking in wildlife casualties we began to get very busy, not only with more inmates than usual but a big increase in the amount of phone calls for iequest for help or advice from all over the UK. We put out an appeal on social media and on TV to get help with food donations, this provoked a lot of help with the food supplies and donations that helped considerably. We had to keep on all the staff as we could not furlough any animal carers as the work load increased and due to covid we could not have any students or volunteers into the centre to help. We were running at full capacity all year this put extra strain on the staff as there were also times when some of them had to isolate for a week or two. I am as always pleased with what we have achieved in this year as in the many years before that June and I founded WRAS, we coped with a higher number of wildlife casualties than ever with a good success and release rate. We are fortunate to still have our vet John who gives his time voluntary saving many animals and birds and the charity many pounds. It was a shame that because of the pandemic we could not have students or school children in to the centre as teaching wildlife matters is an important part of the charities aims. Financially the charity perfornied very well in 2020 making some savings were possible and there were no overspends in any department, we go into 2021 in a very good position but still cautious that the pandemic is still with us and not sure what affects in will have on all of us in the coming months ahead.
