The charity was established in 1996 in domestic premises in Overton, Hampshire. In June 2010 it moved to its currant purpose-built wildlife hospital premises in Medstead, near Alton, Hampshire. There are currently four Trustees who meet on a regular basis with other members of the management team. policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees; the charity's organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works, relationship with any related parties,, trustees, consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them. The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated Gharity. The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity 18 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 Ob"ectives 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. Since 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 returr] 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 advi 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 Gomplies with best practice and HART'S requirements. HART has both safeguarding and privacy policies in place. Summary of thé maln activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to thes8 objects (include within this Section the statutory deGlaratlon that trustees have had regard to th6 guidance issued by the Charlty 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 2024, we received 3,230 wildlife casualties. A redudion of 385 from 2023. Of this 2,314 were birds and 916 were mammal and other admissions. When we look at the species rescued in 2024, we can see that many were red listed which 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 using social media as a tool for both education and public engagement. TAR March 2012
Section E Financial review •' Jl. Brief statement of the charity's policy on reserves At the start of the year, we held in reserve just over £155,000 in savings which by the end of 2024 had increased to over £160,000 due to interest being accrued over the year. The reseNes include the £100,000 earmarked towards future capital projects to help safeguard the fLrture 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 £50,000) which is reflected in oui reserves policy. D8tails of any funds materially in deflcit 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,. investfflent policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted, During the year in question HART rnade a loss of £18,487 compared to a small profit of £500 in 2023. This reversal was due to a number of factors including increased staff cost5, Other costs associated with the hospital and reduced income from our charity shop and other donations. This is obviously not sustainable and we will focus on cost cutting and increased fund-raising efforts in 2025. The accounts for 2024 are being submitted with this r8POrt. During the year, HART did not engage the servic8s of any paid professional fundraisers or fundraising services and received no omplaints 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 s01iGit funds from anyone it d88ms to be a vulnerable individual. TAR March 2012
