Section C Ob"ectives and activities The relief of SLffterir¥J amongst wildlife in red of care and attention and. in particular, by the provision of a rescue and rehabilttation setvice for abandoned. neglected or injured wildlrfe and the advancement of public education in the needs and care of Brttish wtldlrfe. Summary of the objects of th• Charity set out in Its governlng d¢xument In 2021 HART admitted 3.607 wildlif8 casualties, an increase of 374 on the number of admissions in 2020. Bird admISon$ numbered 2,511 mammals 1,084 (of whith 749 We hedgehogs), reptiles and amphibians 12. Wrthout HART, at times working in conjunction with the RSPCA and vets. these animals would have suffered a slow death, or had to be transferred great distan to receive care. In addition to receiving animal admissions, the hospital again responded to numerous phone calls, hundreds of email enquiries and soGial media requests asking for advice and infomiation. Wrth the prevailing threats imposed by the mutating Covid-19 virus, social media and the intemet generally have remained an Invaluab way of communicating with the public arKI supporters as we seek to minimise risks that coukl affect the work we do. During the year HART has had approximately 50 volunteers on its database who commit to a regular shfft al the hospital. HART is usually a valuable resource for lo¢al educational facilities, giving work experien placements to students on animal related courses, as well as volunteering opportuntties to younger people undertaking the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme. Due to Covid-19 risks still being prevalent rt was not possible to continue with these activities in 2021. Summary ofthe maln activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (includ8 within this section the statutory declaration that trusta8s have had regard to the guidance issuad by the Charlty Commission on public bènefit) Throughout the year, Trustees have had regard to the guidan issued by the Charity Commission on public tenefit when exercising any powers or dulles to which the guidan is relevant. This includes when making decisions and planning the activtties of the CharFty. TAR March 2012
Addltlonal detalls of objectives and activilies (Optional infornmtlon) HART has always deperthd voluntary help to run" without our volunteers we wouldnl I able to care for the large number of casualties we take in. HART acknowledges its duty of Ca to those under 18 and vulnerable adults (Vulnerable People). HART therefore wotks to safeguard and promote the welfare of Vulnerable People and is commttted to ensuring it5 safeguarding practice refiects statutory responsibilities. govemment guidance and complies with best practi and HART'S requirements. HART has both safeguarding and prtvacy policEs in place. HART also has some volunteer drivers who ¢an be called on to provide invaluable supwrt with transporting animals to and from the vets, enabling staff more time to focus on animals within the hosprtal environment. At the start of 2021 the hospital had 3 full-time and 3 part-time members of staff (who between them worked 6 days a week), at the end of the year there were 3 full-time and the part-time days had increased to 8 days a week atthough now shared by 2 members of staff. You may choose to include further statements, whera rdevant, about.. policy on grantmaktng; policy programme lated investment,. contribution made by volunteers. fjth such a low number of salaried staff, volunteers remain crucial to us being able to continue our work. In 2021, like other non-essential shops, our chartty shop had to ¢lose for the first three and a half months of the year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Inttially, upon reopèning, we had to lirnit the number of days that we were open, however. we were fortunate to be able to recruit volunteers so that the shop was open for at least 5 days a week. By the middle of the year we had a stsble number of staff and volunteers which enabled the shop to be open as normal. TAR March 2012
Section D Achievements and performance In 2021, desprte the continuing challenges posed by Covid-19, the hosprtal has once again remained open throughout the year and has en available for emergencies 24 hours per day. The number of admissions in¢reased again so that by year end we had well over 3,500 patients for treatment, beating last yearfs total and setting a new record for admissions. Summary of the main achievements of the Gharity during the year In addthon to the 749 hedgehogs, some other species and numbers of note admitted to the hospital in 2021 included 95 birds of prey (including 37 tawny oyls. 3 little 0s, 8 bam owls, 20 buzzards. 10 kestrels and 14 sparrowhawks). 51 bats (pipistrelles, whiskered, browm long eared, natterer's and serob-ne).. 12 reptiles (including 2 grass snakes, an adder, and 2 slow worms).. 7 badgers; 210 mallard ducks (many of which were duCIngs). 31 house martins, 2 oystercatchers and a skylark. A number of these species are on the red list of threatened species. During 2021. Paul Reynolds. the Hospttal Manager, was accepted to join as an associate member to the British Wildlife Rehabilitation Council. This has meant he can engage at a national level in conversations or issues affecting our sedor. In 2021 HART also commenced its involvemerrt with the Darwin Tree of Lrfe project, as well as helping the Bom Free Foundation by sharing a supply of crates with the Foundation that were donated to HART by Heathrow airpori. 2021 was also the year in which we were able to build and open our new 'Hogspital' Spa - our extemal hedgehog shed (though also used for other patients when we have fewer hogs on stie). This was possible thanks to a generous legacy. In May 2021. V vRre happy to welcorne Dr Sophie Lund Rasmussen {aka °Dr Hedgeho) as a naw Patron of HART. We continue to share our work with the public via regular eNewsletters, our website and on social media, featuring infomiation on our patients as well as wildlrfe advice on our soaal media updates. Additionally, all members of staff at the hosprtal are linked in with other specialised wildlife Facebook forums, through which we can share our experiences and give less knowWeabbe rehabilitator# #upport and advice. In 2021. despite being closed for the first quarter, our shop in Alton achieved gross revenue of just under £42,000. This was 360A higher than the previous year which was severely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Our shop is located in the middle of a large car park which means we re1ve a lot of donations, many are of no use to us whatsoever and go straight to the dustbin or for recycling. bul others are of a high quality and we can try and sell them for a good profit when conditions allow. We use recycling company for unwanted clothes, rags and books, eBay and other on-line sites when we think we can generate a higher sale pri and constantly look for options to maximise the revenue from every item we receive. IM)ilst there are other charity shops nearby, we are slill regularly complimented on the qualty of our shop and its stock. and we believe we are still one of the highest eaming charity shops in the town. We have a Facebook account to raise our profile and highlight some of the interesting items we have for sale. TAR March 2012
Section D Achievements and performance It is aKvays a priorTty to make the books balan and so as Charitable incomes fall in the current economic climate, our focus on costs control has been maintained in all aa5. Cost reductions were again achieved by using an Amazon Wish List via which members of the public can donate much needed items to the hospital. signfficant donations of animal fot)d made via local supemiarkets, bedding and towels donated by a local homeware store, as well as a constant vigilance on containing expenditure. TAR March 2012
Section E Financial review Brief statement of the charity's policy on reserves At the start of the year we held in reserve just over £145.000 in savings which by the end of 2021 had increased to £165,000. The Twstees unanimously agreed to designate £100,000 towards fLrture capital projects to help safeguard the future of the charity. It was also agreed to increase the money set aside for any costs which we may incur in the event that the charity has to be wound up to be sufficient to cover three month's running costs. airrently circa £45.000, which is now reflected in our reserves Details of any funds materially in doficit None Further financlal review details (Optional inf0mtiOn> You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about: the charity's principal sources of funds (including any fundraising)., how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity: investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. Total income for the year was £213,393 with exFenditure of £188,085 which led to a surplus of £25,308. The charity shop continues to be a major source of income blrt was again shLrt from the beginning of the year until mid-April due to Covid-19 which again severely affected the revenue from this source. During the year. HART did not engage the services of any paid professional fundraise[5 or fundraising services and received no complaints about its fundraising. When soliciting donations, the charity is avayS mindful to protect the rights and privacy of donors by soliciting funds in a fair, honest and transparent manner. HART does not solicit funds from anyone it deems to be a vulnerable individual The majority of the expendtture is made in areas directly related to the key objectives principally with running costs for the hospital and staff wages (induding pension contributions)_ The most signtficant costs i outside of these are related to running the shop, such as rent, utilities and staff salaries. In nomial years these costs are largely covered by the income the shop generates, and the shop also acts as a valuable way to interact wrth the public. However. the impact of the UK lockdown on HART was instantaneous and severe. In 2021 the closure of the charity shop lost us inGome of circa £7,000 per month. Desplte this HART utilised tne intemet. social meuia, nevletter8 and eBulletins to maximise fund-raising opportunities which has allowed us to take in and treat as many animals as possible and continue to improvè our faalities and equipment. In 2021 HART was fortunate to receFve a few small legaaes totalling just over £16.000 which have greatly helFed to sustain operations during another difficult ear. TAR arch 2012
