A much better year financially with us feeling the benefits of the changes made previously to get things back on track after Covid and the cost of living crisis. We have focused much more on farm animals which is after all our core raison d’etre and less on cats and dogs as the vets costs were so prohibitive .This can be seen in the vet costs in the accounts . We continue to rehome cats and dogs but are more selective in that we tend only to take those that are at risk of pts or in a very vulnerable position.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

We continue to rehome animals with virtual homechecks taking the place of visits to prospective homes. This seems to work and reduces workload.
