East Midlands Dog rescue
Charity Number 1126116
Chairman of the trustees annual report 2023- 2024
This year proved a particularly busy one for the rescue. The trustee’s elected to invest in a new van to assist with the running of the rescue, reflect the changing demands of supporting our main revenue stream at the retail premises and to reduce operational risk should the ageing existing fleet suffer breakdowns.
All other costs have been managed and remained stable.
Revenues also remained stable at the retail premises with a modest increase in donations enabling the necessary investments to be made for the future of the charity.
We had an increase of 15% in the number of animals rescued throughout the year increasing again to 221 for the period.
The collective effort of our supporters, volunteers, staff & our primary outsourced veterinary team have meant that we had another successful year and the trustees offer our sincerest heartfelt thank you for the hard work and dedication of all.
Matt McCluskey
Chair of the board of trustees.
