## **Trustees Annual Report 2022-2023** - ## **Finances** Primarily the centre is finance by direct donation. ## **Expenses** Other than the normal running costs of the centre we have had to perform major repair work on many of the existing enclosures which have been in use since the centre opened. We have also built a new rehabilitation pond. The recent drought killed hundreds of mature trees on the grounds, which we are gradually removing, giving priority to those overhanging pens or presenting a hazard to staff. This has caused expenditure with tree surgeons for the larger trees, while the purchase of a wood chipper, chain saws and protective clothing has enabled Wildlives staff to deal with the smaller ones. ## **Employees, Volunteers, and Work Experience** The centre currently employs 1 full time staff and 2 part-time staff, plus a part-time maintenance man. Currently Wildlives is no longer using volunteer or work-experience personnel, due to long-standing problems with reliability and standards of work; more time has been spent training volunteers who only stay for a couple of days than has been gained from their labours. It has therefore been decided that both volunteer and work-experience staff are not an asset, and are in fact a liability. We do have reliable helpers for vet and food runs plus some animal collections. ## **Admissions** Admissions continue to rise, however the nature of those admissions has changed as the impact of climate change continues to rise. In recent years we have had an increasing number of unseasonal hedgehog orphans, with tiny babies less than 100g being brought in through late autumn into winter. Normally these babies would all have grown to maturity earlier in the year when there are ample invertebrates to feed them. The mild winter has also led adult hogs into problems; as the weather warms a little they wake up from hibernation, which takes a massive energy expenditure, only to find that although warmer the weather is not consistently warm enough to ensure sufficient food source to enable them to renew their fat reserves for the next (brief) hibernation period. We have seen many birds of prey this year in a starving and collapsed state being unable to hunt sufficient food. We continue to maintain strict biosecurity, not only to protect the staff from COVID and any other diseases, but in awareness of the ongoing problems with bird flu, although this year does seem to have seen fewer reported cases. ## **Education** We continue to issue monthly newsletter, which both carries updates on Wildlives’ work, but also gives advice on wildlife and conservation issues, giving publicity to the impact of human activity and increasing awareness, e.g. admissions with fishing hooks embedded, animals impacted by dumped rubbish, hedgehogs injured by strimmers and other garden equipment etc. This is distributed to thousands of homes via local magazines, our web site, and facebook. The local, and sometimes national, press often carry articles about our work and animals. Most recently our otter cub, Mera, was in the national press, and articles on an unprecedented litter of ten fox cubs have actually been syndicated around the world. During opening hours our helpline gives advice to the public and vets nationwide. Rosie regularly does interviews on local radio and TV to highlight the problems our wildlife is experiencing and how the public can help. ## **Vets** We continue to use Colne Valley vets and are extremely happy with their support for all our sick and injured wild animals and birds. Currently the antibiotic sulfatrim has become unavailable worldwide, which will have a serious impact on many of the animals we treat. The vets continue to search for a suitable replacement. ## **Future plans** Local seal populations are increasing, and problems arise with human/dog – seal contact. While we have helped with very many seals in past years, giving emergency treatment and transferring to specialist centres, increasing numbers are now in need of help and existing specialist rehabilitation centres are becoming full. We are now considering building enhanced facilities to enable us to keep seals for longer periods. Wildlives intends to continue to provide the best possible care, treatment and eventual rehabilitation back into the wild to all the animals and birds admitted to the centre. We will continue to provide advice to the public and vets through our newsletter, helpline and public talks on how to help individual animals and how to protect our wildlife as a whole to preserve our animals and birds for future generations. Wildlives will provide our staff with comprehensive training in the care and conservation of wildlife. ## **Signature of the Trustees:** ## **Rosie Catford (Chairperson) _________________________________________** ## **Kathy Jinkings (Trustee)** ## **______________________________________________** **Beverley Holben (Treasurer) ______________________________________________** **Wildlives Rescue & Rehabilitation Centre 1104167 Receipts and payments accounts** **1104167** **CC16a** |**For the period**
