The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity. The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed: having reviewed those risks, the Trustees have subsequently established appropriate risk management procedures. The Trustees also ensure that adequate funds are held in reserve to deal with any emergencies arising. Section C Objectives and activities HART Wildlife Rescue (HART) is the largest wildlife hospital in Hampshire. We relieve the suffering of wildlife in need of care, with a specific focus on disabled, wounded, sick or homeless wildlife. sin its establishment, HART has received and treated approximately 40,000 wildlife patients, mainly brought into the hospital by members of the public in Hampshire and the surrounding counties. HART is neither a zoo nor a wildlife sanctuary and our primary objective is to return all treated wildlife to its natural habitat as soon as is racticall ossible. Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document TAR March 2012
We also strive to advance public knowledge about the needs and care of British wildlife, and regularly provide advice and guidance to vets and the RSPCA. Throughout the year, the Trustees have observed the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit when exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant. This includes when making decisions and planning the activities of the Charity. HART acknowledges its duty of care towards children and vulnerable adults (Vulnerable People). Consequently, HART works to safeguard and promote the welfare of Vulnerable People and is committed to ensuring its safeguarding practice reflects statutory responsibilities, government guidance, and complies with best practice and HART'S requirements. HART has both safeguarding and privacy policies in place. Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit) TAR March 2012
Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information) You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about: policy on grantmaking. policy programme related investment; contribution made by volunteers. TAR March 2012
Section D Achievements and performance Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year In 2023, we received 3,615 wildlife casualties, just 66 less than the 3,681 we saw in 2022 (which was a new annual record for us). When we look at the species rescued in 2023, we can see that 32 were green listed, 17 were amber listed and 10 were red listed. This shows that not only is wildlife rescue and rehabilitation helping with the welfare of individual animals, but it may also contribute to the conservation of species which are in decline. HART also carries out an educational function both within the local community, as well as further afield. This is achieved through carrying out educational talks (online and in person), and by using social media as a tool for both education and public engagement. 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 approximately £152,000 in savings which by the end of 2023 had increased slightly to around £156,000 due to interest being credited. The reserves include the £100,000 designated towards future capital projects to help safeguard the future of the charity. It also includes money set aside for any costs which may be incurred if the charity has to be wound up. We have allocated sufficient funds to cover three month's running costs (circa £45,000) which is reflected in our reserves policy. Details of any funds materially in deficit None Further financial review details (Optional information) 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. During the year in question HART made a small profit of £500 compared to a loss in 2022 of £3,776. As can be seen from the accounts our total income in the year increased by just under £6,000 whereas total expenditure increased by just under £1,700. This accounts for the improvement of about £4,300. Overall, the Trustees were satisfied with the financial performan of the charity in 2023. The accounts for 2023 are being submitted with this report. The charity shop continues to be a major source of income. During the year, HART did not engage the ServIS of any paid professional fundraisers or fundraising services and reiVed no complaints about its fundraising. When soliciting donations, the charity is always 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. TAR March 2012
