RYEDALE DOG RESCUE TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2024 Revlew of the Charity's achievements and performance, including the difference the Charity has made to the benef iciaries and to wider society throughout the year l am very pleased to report on the 2023/2024 financial year for Ryedale Dog Rescue which has yet again been a very busy but very successful one, Our trustees and volunteers have worked tirelessly to keep raisin8 the funds needed to help rescue, rehabilitate and rehome as many dogs as possible from the local area. Since the Covid pandemic we have seen big change in the dogs coming into our care with fewer strays in local council pounds but many more direct handovers from owner5 who for many reasons both financi31 andlor circumstantial can no longer keep their dog with them. Many of these dogs have come to us needing veterinary treatment and/or behavioural modification and training and this in turn means we are havin8 to keep the dogs in our care much longer than usual, which in turn means overall a decrease in the number of dogs we are able to take in. We have always prided ourselve5 on being a charity that does not discriminate on breed, taking dogs from Chihuahuas to Rottweilers and many and varied in between and we hope to continue in this way. However, the percentage of bull breeds and their crosses has significantly increased while the number of people lookin8 to rehome them has declined because of the social media covera8e of recent dog attacks. We strongly believe there is a home for every dog and a do8 for every home but matching the two is of utm05t importance and thorough homechecks are essential. This year has seen our income slightly down on the previou5 year, but this was mainly due to no grant fundin8 being received.Expenditure was roughly the same which shows we are being careful by keeping costs to a minimum. Both these resulted in a slight deflcit for the year. However we have been able to create a £50,000 reserve in order that we would be able to maintain the essential core services the charity provide5 for a minimum of 10 months in the event of all fundraising being cancelled as during the pandemic. Our veterinary costs greatly increased this year due to the increase in handover dogs needing more complex treatment, and also the local council no longer allowing u5 to access stray do85 for temperament and health prior to transferring ownership. Thi5 increase was slightly offset by a decrease in kennel fees for the year. The annual calendar proved very popular again thi5 year and we also added our very own designer RDR Christmas cards to our stock. The number of sales outlets was increased and we would like to say a special thank you to all who stocked them for us.The Wheldon family's Stall On the Wall continues to generates regular funds for us and passed the massive £30,000 mark during the year which is an outstanding achievement. As Chairman of the charity I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to and supported RDR in any way during this year which has helped make it so successful. Some can give their time, some donations either financial or goods to sell, others offer venues for stalls etc but when everyone just does what they can we form a great team as Together Everyone Achieve5 More ITEAMI. We look forward to the coming year, our 20th and are ready to face the challenges it will no doubt bring for our charity. [31
