Section C Objectives and activities

To rescue, rehabilitate and rehome local animals

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

TAR

March 2012

Dogs that need rehoming for a variety of reason come to our notice and are offered a safe space with the rescue.

In the main part these dogs are placed in foster homes for assessment which is our preference. However due to the difficult nature of some of the dogs needing our help (lockdown puppies) plus a lack of experienced foster home we have been forced to use kennels much more now which has significant financial implications.

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)

All dogs that come into our care continue to receive vet care - as a minimum a vet check, vaccinations, flea, worm and neuter. All dogs are chipped to the rescues details. If a dog requires further medical intervention such as treatment for infection, irritation, dental work or anything else then they will receive it. We have taken in high numbers of dogs with significant health issues in the last year due to a range of reasons including owners struggling financially and also indiscriminate breeding practises.

Once assessed in foster care our dogs are placed in suitable homes. The homecheck process has been a challenge and we have been changing the way we do this constantly to match each challenge.

We continue to work in our local community offering support including – Training Dog food Food banks Clothing (from our shop) Therapy sessions School talks and visits

EOL fosters or supported adoptions for elderly owners

Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)

Our fundraising has remained mainly in an online format this year and our use of volunteers has been restricted accordingly.

Face to face Homechecks have resumed but are mainly done by the two managers along with a very small team. Covid safe procedures are in place for these homecheck visits and all dog pick ups and drop offs etc.

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

policy on grantmaking;
policy programme related investment;
contribution made by volunteers.

The treasurer has continued to seek appropriate Grant Funding and we are lucky enough to have been granted the funds to purchase a crated van for safe transport by Jean Sainsburys Trust.

Our Strategic development plan has continued to inform the way we develop the rescue and make sure funds are sustainable for the future.

We are hoping to start using more volunteers in 2022 and get out doing some awareness and fundraising events.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

In this year we have successfully rescued and rehomed 90 dogs.

We have carried out 6 school visits.

Our training school has become well established and we are looking towards the next stage in its development.

We have offered for free training support to many families and this in turn has meant they were able to keep their dog instead of handing to rescue. We have helped those struggling to feed their dogs with food donations and supplied dog food for all local food banks.

We have developed links with other dogs rescues and local charities for the homeless.

Our elderly dog programme has seen us placing several more dogs in this programme this year.

We continue to offer full back up for all the dogs we rehome.

We have developed our link with ACDH and the Battersea Academy which has assisted us in strengthening the work we do as a rescue.

Section E Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves

We don’t generally carry reserves, however we received an inheritance last year which was placed in reserves at the end of the financial year towards vets bills. Due to our shop and daycare being closed for four months and the difficulties of successful fundraising we have had to use some of this but only where necessary.
