CHARITY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND AND WALES Trustees, Annual Report for the period From April 2023 Period end date Period start date To April 2024 Charity name: Rolvenden Cat Rescue Charity registration number: 1141631 Objectives and Activities SORP reference Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document Para 1.17 To relieve for the benefit of the public, the suffering of animals, particularly cats, in need. To provide and maintain rescue facilities for the reception and care of such animals until they are ready to be rehomed. To promote humane behaviour towards animals and to educate the public in matters ertainin to animal welfare. The central work of the charity is to take in homeless, abandoned or stray cats in need from the surrounding areas of Kent and East Sussex. We provide shelter on site and endeavour to provide the best Gare for these cats until a suitable permanent home is found. Cats brought in are immediately given veterinary examination and any necessary treatment. All cats are neutered and microchipDed. We respond to all contact from the public regarding cats that are giving cause for concern and take appropriate action. We also give advice and aid to those members of the public who are in difficulty or unable to continue to keep their cats. The rescue is open daily for members of the ublic to visit b ointment. In considering and agreeing the activities of the charity, the trustees have kept in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.

Policy on grant making Para 1.38 Para 1.38 Policy on social investment including program related investment We are fortunate to have reliable and conscientious volunteers who contribute to all areas necessary for the successful operation of the charity. This includes fundraising, maintenance of the cat pens, managing the website and many essential practical tasks. Contribution made by volunteers Para 1.38 Other Achievements and Performance SORP reference This year 176 cats have been rehomed. This number is a small increase on the previous year which is encouraging. Vvhile the numbers of abandoned cats in need are increasing, rehoming continues to be slow. This is a concern which appears to be affecting all animal rescues in the current economic climate. Many people are more cautious about committing to taking in cats, partly because of the rising costs of food, litter and veterinary care. Despite this, we have had a regular influx of visitors and rehoming has been overall steady, despite some quiet periods. The housing crisis and rental shortages have obliged some tenants to relocate to homes where animals are not permitted. Unfortunately, we have seen a rise in the numbers of owners abandoning their cats. Our mission has been to provide support and advice on the options available to owners to avoid the cruel abandonment of cats. Where possible, we have accepted in cats who are the unfortunate victims of the social and economic fluctuations affecting members of the public. Our policy has been to accept into the rescue, where space permits, any cats in need of a home, regardless of circumstances. This includes feral cats This is in line with our aims to be of benefit to all the cats in need within our area, and to the members of the public involved. Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity's work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.

Financial Review Review of the charity's financial position at the end of the period Para 1.21 This year has seen an improvement in the financial situation when compared with the previous year. This has been mostly due to the increase in donations. There has also been a reduction in some costs, in particular vet and medication bills. Although the charity is still running at a loss, the large drop in income over the previous year has been partly reversed and the financial future is lookin more secure.
