TRUSTEE REPORT FOR THE CHARITY COMMISSION
2022 - 2023
Our Trustees are satisfied that the Charity has fulfilled its aim over the past year.
We have continued to trap abandoned, feral, injured and stray cats throughout which all have received the necessary veterinary care needed. Where possible the cats have been rehabilitated and rehomed.
Cats in Crisis has supported many cat owners giving advice and support with their own cats welfare, also members of the public with lost and found. We remain keen to continue to aid directly and indirectly with the welfare of cats across Lincoln and the surrounding villages.
Our small group of amazing volunteers continue to fundraise through our Charity Store, Ebay, Jumble Sales and outside events. We have also been keen to reclaim gift aid, where possible. Despite this, our Income and Expenditure for this year have been extremely close. As well as raising money, this spreads the word about our Charity. As always, we are very grateful of the support received.
