The Rescue provides a temporary sanctuary for ferrets suitable for adoption whilst every effort is made to find loving, responsible, forever homes. The Rescue also provides a permanent home for those ferrets who cannot be adopted due to health, age or temperament. **TAR** 2 The Rescue works to raise awareness about the benefits of adopting these playful, affectionate and easy to look after small animals and provides information and support to ensure successful adoptions so that rescued ferrets can live out their natural lives in comfort and security. We work hand-in-hand with other animal welfare groups in order to best further the aims of the Rescue. The Rescue provides work experience placements for students at secondary schools, colleges and universities in Yorkshire. It also provides opportunities for young people with learning difficulties always working under the guidance of organisations mentoring the recipients. **TAR** 3 Following review of the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit, the Trustees concluded that the main activities undertaken for the public benefit during the period of the Report were: Taking stray ferrets off the streets and providing them with shelter & care including seeing to their veterinary needs Providing advice to would-be adopters as to the general care of ferrets; **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)** Running a fostering scheme, short stay and long term, providing people who want to care for homeless ferrets with the resources to enable them to do so; Neutering and vaccinating ferrets to prevent unwanted breeding and spread of disease; Providing work experience placements for students at secondary schools, colleges and universities in Yorkshire as required by their educational courses; Providing opportunities for young people with learning difficulties at the request of their mentoring organisations; ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. **TAR** 4 Section D Achievements and performance **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** A total of 102 ferrets were found forever homes during the period of this Report bringing the overall total to 1,441 ferrets since the start of the Rescue to the end date of this Report.
