## **Report of the trustees for year ending 31[st] March 2025** 

The trustees of Valgray’s Border Collie & Animal Rescue presented their annual report and certified accounts for the year ending 31[st] March 2025. 

## **Our Aims:** 

To relieve the suffering and distress of Border Collie Dogs, but not excluding other breeds of dogs or other types of animals, by the provision of temporary shelter, veterinary treatment and by finding permanent homes for such dogs / animals. 

## **Our Objectives:** 

Our objectives are to provide shelter and new homes for animals (predominantly dogs) who are no longer wanted and have been abandoned. Initially the main breed was the ‘Border Collie’, however this has changed over the last couple of years as a variety of breeds lose their homes. 

## **Review of Activities and Achievements:** 

Rescue and rehoming of animals – it was acknowledged by the trustees that the last year had been a particular struggle for the charity. Val worked with several animal abuse cases which resulted in a high number of puppy rescues. Vet fees significantly increased (year on year up 23%) due to the increase of cases plus the hike in vet fees for both animal and equine. Sad losses of the lovely ‘Lady Fleur’ and ‘Lou Lou’. 

Property Maintenance – The charities location has been subject to flooding over the years, and this year was one of the worst. Significant expense to resolve but thanks to our local handyman this was carried out at reduced rates. New kennels put in place thanks to a generous trust and horse shelter repairs in two locations. Property maintenance expense significantly increased by 56%. 

Events – Val and her team of volunteers attended Crufts as well as Blachmans Fair and several boot fairs to bring in much needed donations. 

Donations – It was acknowledged the charity would not be operational had in not been for all the donations very generously made by supporters of Valgrays BCAR, a total of £66,807 for the year. In addition, the charity raised a further £8575 from Gift Aid. 

The accounts have been approved by the Trustees, and the independent examination was carried out by our new accountant, Greg Petho of GTP Finances.
