| 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. |
Para 1.20 | - As the COVID-19 situation eased in Malawi, LSPCA was able to continue with the majority of their activities in late 2021. LSPCA UK’s grant of £9718.00 in 2021 helped the charity with additional COVID- related costs and funding shortfalls and helped them to weather a difficult financial period. - Funding of £21793.64 provided by LSPCA UK in 2020 to launch a new ‘Centre for Animal Welfare Mobile Clinic’ continues to be put to good use. The mobile clinic is currently focused on treating domestic and farm animals in low-income communities, where accessing veterinary services is extremely challenging. The mobile clinic is also an excellent way to deliver simple animal welfare messages to clients and to raise the profile of LSPCA in the community. As a result, LSPCA regularly receives groups of young children who have walked with their dog to the veterinary hospital to receive treatment. Such treatment is provided free of charge. - LSPCA UK held an AGM in August 2021 to discuss a revision to the Constitution (subsequently submitted to the CC) and also plans for further grants and fundraising in 2022. |
