Achievements and Performance
Online sales through Facebook Marketplace and eBay have steadied out and we have now started selling on Vinted to reach a wider audience. We continue to sell items at auction. We have raised £8525.63 through the sale of donated items.
Books, CDs and DVDs sold via Music Magpie, Ziffit and We Buy Books raised £734.41.
Final payment of £72.42 received through Amazon Smiles. Easy Fundraising raised £284.05.
We have received £627.41 in Pets at Home Lifeline Vouchers raised by supporters scanning their VIP cards when making purchases at Pets at Home.
A last-minute grant from Marchig Animal Welfare Trust meant that we finished the financial year with £5462.24 surplus.
Volunteer numbers have remained the same and we are sticking to the policy of no volunteers under the age of 18.
Once again there has been a noticeable increase in the number of people wanting to surrender their pets and fewer people wishing to re-home through rescues. We have noticed and been alerted to more adverts on social media where animals are been given away for free. The number of rabbits that have been dumped in the nearby area is heartbreaking and not all have been found alive. Due to this we have had to become more selective with the animals that we take in, focusing on those most in need. Re-homing is no longer the main aim of Bunny Burrows as most of the animals taken in require complex on-going medical care.
The rearing and rehabilitation of wild rabbits is a high priority for us, with no limits set on the amount of baby wild rabbits we take in.
Ian Burrows from Newhay feeds is now supplying our hay and we are getting the surplus Metro newspapers off the buses where one of our volunteers works.
