Due to COVID 19 restrictions we were unable to hold any trustee meetings in person however we were in regular contact with each other via the phone.
COVID 19 has changed how we raise funds for Bunny Burrows. Our focus now is selling donated items through Facebook MarketPlace, eBay and by running auctions on our social media pages. Since starting to sell on Facebook more people in the local area have become aware of Bunny Burrows. This also means that we get more donations.
It has been agreed by the trustees that our Hot Cross Bunny Day (main annual fundraiser) and tombolos will stop. They are a lot of work for very little return.
Due to COVID 19 the number of volunteers able to be present at Bunny Burrows at one time has had to be restricted. As a result of this Bunny Burrows is not currently taking on any new volunteers and has stopped taking in teenagers on the Duke of Edingbrugh scheme.
Increased pet ownership over the lockdown periods has resulted in an increase in people who are wanting to re-home their pets. Due to space restrictions and the amount of people wanting to re-home, it has been decided amongst the trustees that we will focus on animals in need (ie neglect cases, those with ongoing medical issues, baby wild rabbit rehabilitation) rather than boredom cases.
