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.
