Section F Other optional information

This report covers for the period 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021.

Brinsley Animal Rescue was formed in 2009 and became a Registered Charity on 14 April 2010. The Charity is run solely by volunteers. The Charity is operated from property and land owned by two of the four Trustees. The 22 acres of land, comprising of a number of fields and enclosures, stable block, stable yard, manage, wildlife hospital and volunteers’ room are provided to the Charity free of charge.

2021 was a very challenging year for the charity not least due to the pandemic which had a financial impact, with the cancelling of all fundraising events and the impact on volunteers having to isolate and avoid others.

The charity adapted by reducing spend, managing the animal admissions to balance the available resources of volunteers and funds.

Due to the significant challenges in 2021, the number of animals admitted decrease from 937 in 2020 to 822 animals in 2021, however the number rehomed (pets & farm animals) or released (wild animals) remained relatively the same from 531 in 2020 to 502 in 2021.

The number of pets and farm animals that the Charity was not in a position to admit into its care, due to a lack of available resources (money, time, space) increased significantly from 685 in 2020 to 1114 in 2020, an increase of 61%. The majority of this increase came from people trying to give up pets that they had bought during lockdown.

The Charites income increased in 2021 from £111,959 in 2020 to £124. 612 in 2021.

During the year the charity dealt with 822 wild, pet and farm animals, of these 502 animals were released back into the wild or in the case of pets and farm animals re-homed, 68 were euthanised in accordance with our non-euthanasia policy, 106 died and 148 remain in the care of the Charity at the sanctuary.

Unfortunately, there were many pets that the Charity simply could not rescue due to financial, time or accommodation constraints. A summary of the pets and farm animals the Charity was called on to help but could not be due to a lack of resources is summarised below;
