There is an assigned welfare supervisor for each day to ensure all felines in our care are healthy. There are volunteers who's strengths lie in the more administrative side of the charity - media, answering telephones and messages on line and there is another group who dedicate their time to fundraising - manning stalls and promotional events around the area. They are all given advice and training by our very experienced Coordinator and officers, who are always on call. There is another group of volunteers who are responsible for the homing of the cats. Within this we have undertaking homechecks, educated the public on the introduction and care of the cat they bring home and the paper work when homing the cats and kittens. We have recently developed a transport team of volunteers who are able to collect cats from outside our regular locations as we build relationships with rescues further afield. They are made aware of the objectives and aims in relation to the benefits to the public in accordance with the Charity Commission's Guidelines. Other

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference

	Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the diference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its benefciaries and any wider benefts to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	Our Charity continues to thrive, rescuing and rehoming unwanted /abandoned cats and kittens. Our homing rate of 50 - 60 per month continued at the start of the year. Covid – 19 has made this more difcult and so some months have had lower fgures. We anticipate we will revert to our original strong numbers as restrictions ease. Our procedures and standards are continually under review. We have worked particularly hard to develop our Health and Safety practices; we regularly assess our health and safety and give reminders/ make changes as and when necessary. Trustees held several meetings at the start of the pandemic to ensure the safety of volunteers was 1. In line with government guidance and 2. Allowed the cats and kittens to have constant, high quality care. Efective immediately, we reduced the numbers of people allowed on site at any one time, installed several hand sanitizing stations and signage, ensured masks are worn (unless exempt) and maintained social distancing measures. All of this has been done to ensure the safety of our volunteers and the public are maintained whilst also ensuring the welfare of the cats remains at our usual high standards. We are constantly working at improving our administration and communication throughout the Charity. There are co-ordinators for each part of the charity e.g Homing ofcer, foster co-ordinator etc. This has allowed us to rescue and home cats efectively and efciently. Care is taken with the induction of new volunteers so that any reservations or problems are covered; helping them feel confdent in the knowledge of what is expected and also not to be afraid to ask for any advice or help. We have also been part of the Duke of Edinburgh scheme. The co-Ordinator for this inducts the D of E students and promptly completes their reviews. These students have been able to

develop a range of personal skills along with effectively working in cat rescue. However, since March 2020 we have removed our D of E volunteers to ensure their safety. Our restructuring of the charity, with a team of volunteers overseeing the welfare of the cats in our care, health and safety, fundraising, fosterers, homing and admissions has been in place for 3 years now. This has allowed us to rescue more cats and be more active in the community in regards to educating and supporting. Our fundraising has had to evolve this year as we have not been able to hold as many events. We have focussed more of our efforts in to social media campaigns such as ‘Donate £1 day’ and pleas as and when we have had emergency cases. The welfare of each animal continues, all cats are homed after being vet checked, vaccinated, flead and wormed with 4 weeks free PetPlan insurance.

We have continued to start and maintain relationships with local farms who use feral cats as pest control. In doing this we continue to educate on the importance of spaying and neutering alongside being able to effectively TNR any local cat colonies.

We continue to attract and recruit more volunteers on an ongoing basis.
