## **ANNUAL REPORT 22/23** Royston Animal Welfare (RAW), c/o The Secretary, 8 Vernon Street, Birdwell Barnsley S70 5 TH was constituted on 4th February 1997 and is registered with the Charities Commissioners ( no 1064870) The Charity is administered by a management committee, comprising Chairperson – Mrs E Speight Secretary -Miss S Whittaker Treasurer- Miss F O’Brien Other members – Ms L Wootton, Mrs G Deakin (till Jan 23) Mrs D Hodgson and Mrs Janet Hirst ( both from Oct 22) The last year 22/23, has been both a challenging and positive time for the charity. We have moved into retail for the first time October 22 and have changed kennels after 13 years with Rob Royd again in October 22, but the beginning of 2023 saw RAW once again looking for a new dog Co Ordinator after Gemma’s resignation. We are currently advertising the role and are hopeful we can fill this position again very soon with the right person. The position of cat co-ordinator remains the same, a couple of our cat fosterers have stepped up and become trustees and membership has slightly decreased since last year. During the last year RAW has rehomed 136 animals ( 112 being last years figure) , the breakdown being as follows 112 ( 90) cats and 24 ( 22) dogs. We have been able to take in and successfully rehome more cats this year thanks to the help of 2 experienced cat fosterers , Dawn and Janet . They both have existing cat sheds already set up and ready to go. RAW had already started work last year , on the construction of a further cat shed at Nikki Prince’s. This was completed in the summer of 2022 and has enabled us to take in multiple cats from the same household as it is very spacious and has a large outside enclosure attached. The later was constructed by Nikki and her dad and thus saved RAW the expense of a bespoke firms fees. We also changed kennels this year, after 13 years of working closely with Rob Royd kennels. The decision was taken to change to Rainbow Hill kennels at Wortley. This was purely a financial decision on our part and not one that was taken lightly. We had an agreement to fill/ pay for 5 kennels at any one time and our then dog co Ordinator was finding this increasing difficult over the year due to her other commitments so when Willow Dog Rescue folded and BARC approached us asking if we wanted to rent kennel space from them, we accepted their offer and moved dogs to Rainbow Hill October 2022. BARC has a kennel manager who we work with to ensure our dogs are well cared for and exercise frequently. Adoptions have just about got back to normal with potential adopters now being able to visit the cats before they adopt. Some “long distance “ adoptions are still carried out be photos , video link and extensive chats with the fosterers as we have successfully adopted cats to Staffordshire, Castleford and Whitley Bay. We currently have 7cats in permanent foster. Kara & Selena a bonded pair and due to Kara’s deformities s are with Dawn Prince , Elliot is in the care of Nikki Prince ( cat fosterer) due to him having issues with a deformed chest cavity, we are unsure of how this will affect him in the future so we are keeping a close eye on his development . Fozzie, Max and Thomas all have FIV and thus any related treatments will be covered by RAW, and Socks who is 18 years old and has thyroid issues . There are currently no dogs in foster and we have no plans to move in this particular direction with the dogs. We are sorry to report that unfortunately 3 cats and 2 dogs have been PTS this year all for medical reasons and on veterinary advice . Adoption fees count for 24% of the charities income this year the rest being derived from membership fees, fundraising , donations and legacies. Membership stands at 54 this year. During 22/23 RAW has once again been able to resume fundraising activities, We have attended 8 galas this year raising a total of £1951 and also raising awareness within the community of our cause and aims . We have worked with the local shopping centre in Barnsley, the Alhambra to raise £147 from a successful tombola stall in Feb 23 and with LUSH who once again nominated us to receive funds from their “ charity pot “ promotion , generating £206 this year. We have also been able to resume our “evening of mediumship” with Pietro Politano, raising £1979 from 2 events held this year. Local Author and supporter, Milly Johnson held an “Afternoon Tea” on RAW’s behalf in December and raised £1240 for RAW. By far the biggest change to RAW’s fundraising activities this year has been the acquisition of and established charity shop in the local area. We took over the shop in October , again after Willow Dog Recue closed and approached us to see if this was something RAW would like to take on. So far it has proved to be very successful, generating a profit each month after we have paid out the rent ect . Its success is down to our supporters both buying goods and donating to help in the fundraising efforts and the tireless work the volunteers put in running the shop on RAWs behalf . We are extremely grateful to everyone for supporting RAW in this new venture . RAW has been very fortunate again this year to have been left a substantial legacy of £10,000 from the estate of the late Patricia Trout , a lifelong RAW supporter. This has been particularly valuable this year in offsetting the everincreasing vet bills we are faced with. Fess for the essentials such as neutering, vaccinations and microchipping have all gone up 3 times this year since September, this has a big impact our funds and we are always grateful to the people who think of us in their wills. We continue to receive “Lifelines” from Pets at Home who have donated over £1000 in vouchers this year helping us to keep our cats supplied with food and litter. Rawry is still in operation and has raised £1,500 this year this was however banked May 2023. Special thanks go to Churchfield Vets for their continued support and advice, all the family at Rob Royd Kennels and Cattery and staff at Rainbow Hill Kennels and Barc, who support and assist RAW on every occasion, providing quality care and attention for all our cainine residents . To our regular cat fosterers Kathleen & George King, Elizabeth Speight, Nikki Prince, Dawn Hodgson and our newest fosterer and trustee Janet Hirst who provide long term loving care for the cats in our care. Thanks as always to Gemma and Sharon our animal co coordinators and their band of regular helpers. Also our regular RAW dog walkers who ensure the dogs in our care have the regular exercises and stimulation they need. Our gratitude also extends Liz who keeps our adoption pages up to date with new arrivals both on our own website and others we regularly advertise on, Gill Partington who produces the informative newsletter each month, and each and every one of the volunteers and supporters who give their time and effort to fundraise on RAW’s behalf. The past year has been both challenging and exiting for RAW with the transition to a new kennels and the acquisition of the charity shop , both of which have been successful ventures . RAW’s aim is to keep moving forward and find new ways to fundraise and keep on helping animals the animals who need us . We recognise this is only possible due to the support and generosity of our , adopters , fosterers, volunteers and trustees alike , all of whom work together as a team to make RAW a success both now and in the future ## **Royston Animal Welfare** ## **Income and Expenditure for the Year Ended 28th February 2022** |**INCOME**
