## Kent Greyhound Rescue Report of the Trustees For the year ended 30 April 2024
The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements for the charity for the year ended 30 Apr 2024. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommende Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable i the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **Chair's report**
This year Kent Greyhound Rescue has found permanent homes for 167 greyhounds and lurchers. Most of these dogs woul have been euthanized if not brought into the rescue. 6% of dogs were returned to KGR, which is higher than previous yea but still well below the industry average.
We continue to attract dedicated new volunteers who bring different experiences and expertise to Kent Greyhound Rescue With the loss of Ian, we introduced some new procedures to spread the workload and our new volunteers have made thi very successful.
KGR replies entirely on a dedicated band of volunteers who work together. We continue to have no paid staff and are ver fortunate that our volunteers do not claim expenses, enabling us to keep our expenditure to a minimum. The volunteers giv up their free time to, amongst other things, kennel appointments, transport the dogs, homecheck, fundraise, dog walk and d administration The volunteers fundraise from March to December, hold dog shows and attend local events. This has raise our public profile locally and helped with fundraising, support and homing.
KGR always looks for processes to become more automated and less repetitive. As the charity grows, simple / clea procedures that that can be quickly understood and implemented by volunteers will be a distinct advantage.
