Charity Details
Charity: The Crystal Rogers Animal Welfare Trust (CRAWT) Charity Number: 1083053 Charity Address: 35 Henshaw Street, London SE17 1PE
CHARITY OBJECTIVES
CRAWT has two main objectives:
a) To relieve the suffering and distress of animals who are in need of care and protection by reason of sickness, neglect or maltreatment;
b) To educate members of the public in matters concerning animal welfare.
CRAWT was founded by a friend of Crystal Rogers, who was British woman who was foundational in improving animal welfare in India. She was on the Animal Welfare Board of India and founded a number of animal rescue organisations in India. CRAWT was named in Crystal’s honour.
CRAWT works closely with two of the charities founded by Crystal to achieve its objectives. CRAWT provides critical funding to enable them to rescue, rehabilitate, and either release or run adoption centres for both domestic and wild animals in India. The two charities that CRAWT works closely with are: Compassion Unlimited Plus Action (CUPA) and Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre (WRRC).
OUR FINANCES
CRAWT received an income of £205,305.30 in the 2022-2023 financial year. £200,000 of this income was from a legacy from Susan Smith’s estate, to which we are extremely grateful. Susan Smith was an animal lover and friend of the founder of CRAWT Rosemary Poole. This was the final distribution from Susan’s estate and we do not expect to receive anything further.
On discussion with the trustees of CUPA, CRAWT has determined that this monies shall be invested into interest bearing accounts, where appropriate. This is due to the conservative nature of the charity and reluctance to place any of the monies at risk. The amounts in each account have been set at £85,000 take enable the funds to be covered by FSCS.
CRAWT will also donate funds to both CUPA and WRRC to enable them to continue to continue their animal welfare work.
As CRAWT does not have any fixed expenses, it does not have a reserves policy.
During 2022-2023, CRAWT donated £151,000 to CUPA and £25,000 to WRRC:
-
CUPA (https://cupabangalore.org/) – is dedicated to rescuing, neutering, rehabilitating, providing veterinary care and rehoming domestic pets.
-
£101,000 – These funds will be used to purchase an office for CUPA. From the time CUPA started in 1991, the organisation has worked from rented places and leased land. The CUPA office had to shift several times due to the inability of landlords to maintain long leases.
After many years of instability, CUPA has finally identified a space in the central business district of Bangalore which can serve as a central office for the 9 working centres of CUPA and its sister organisation WRRC (for wildlife). These centres are located in and around the city of Bangalore.
This space will also help CUPA to carry out the cat sterilisation programme for community cats. This ongoing project is the only one of its kind in India, in terms of the numbers achieved and consistency of performance. It is also a central space for holding awareness classes for volunteers and interns who wish to assist CUPA during their summer breaks and college community initiative requirements.
-
£25,000 - These funds will help CUPA to primarily support the organisation in
-
a.) Feeding costs
-
b.) Veterinary costs
-
c.) Animal handlers’ expenses
-
d.) Infrastructure costs when needed
For the 6 CUPA centres spread out in and around Bangalore City housing more than 400 animals, these funds would be instrumental in providing consistency and strength to the animals in distress who have found a safe sanctuary with us.
-
£25,000 - These funds will help CUPA to primarily support the organisation in the purchase of some critical equipment for the Small Animal Specialty Hospital which includes items like: Ophthalmoscope, Vaso Sealer Electrocautery Machine, Small Animal Laser Physiotherapy Machine latest with time settings, Electronic Weighing Machine for small animals and other animals. The funds will be used for feeding and medical treatments of the shelter animals and towards closing the funds deficit in this area.
-
WRRC – WRRC was set-up by the CUPA trustees to focus on providing relief to wild animals, birds and reptiles. The scope of work includes medical treatment, housing and handling cases of cruelty. WRRC also works with the public to raise awareness for humane treatment of animals, conducts campaigns, and is engaged in research and surveys to improve the welfare of captive elephants.
-
£25,000 - These funds would greatly help to support the 5 elephants currently in WRRC’s custody, rescued from various modes of private ownership. Their terribly deprived past lives and their health status means that we need expert manpower to maintain their physical and mental health.
The funds would help WRRC to plan out for the coming year and create some pathways to success in giving them a dignified life in a unique captive situation. These initiatives may include some training modules by expert veterinarians and positive reinforcement trainers, urgent infrastructure, feed and fodder costs, mahut training etc.
