Achievements and Performance Achievements and Performance Achievements and Performance
SORP reference
Summary of the main Para 1.20 Fundraising continues to be challenging for
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Fleecehaven. The current economic
situation, coupled with the demise of large
animal-welfare/vegan events, has reduced
this
income
stream.
However,
the
Fleecehaven Fundraising group continues
to be successful and has gone some way
towards making up for the shortfall and a
greater emphasis upon the use of social
media has maintained a steady flow of
donations, on-line shop purchases, etc.
Adopt-a-sheep has continued to be popular
with
many
‘adopters’
renewing
their
adoptions, some for the 16th year. The
number of adoptions has remained stable
with approximately 130 adopters. A small
increase in the membership fee to adopt
was introduced this year. The continued
option of ‘add on items’ when selecting an
adoption
continues
to
be
particularly
successful and has increased donations.
The number of visitors to Fleecehaven
continued to increase during 2024.
A Fleecehaven Calendar and Christmas
Cards were produced again to raise much
needed funds. However, increased costs
have resulted in the margins made being
significantly reduced.
The website continues to provide access to
information and an on-line shop.
Advice regarding care of sheep has been
given to a growing number of people.
Common areas of enquiry include:
– the care of elderly sheep who require
additional feed as grazing is no longer
sufficient to sustain them;
– information
regarding
flock
management;
– advice regarding medical treatment for
pet sheep;
– advice on how to report a farmer who
was allegedly neglecting stock;
– information on the need for sheep to be
shorn;
– other welfare matters pertaining to
sheep.
Fund raising through EasyFundraising,
EasySearch,
Send-me-a-Card
and
Recycle4Charity continue to be promoted.
The resuced Fleecehaven flock continued
to be cared for daily throughout 2024.
Although Fleecehaven continues to run at
full capacity, several new rescues were
taken in.
