Section D Achievements and performance Achievements in 2023. Our activities in 2023 have focused on fund raising and th8 allocation of grants to qualtfying organisations, although health issues have caused us considerabte changes to our usual activities. Summary of the main achievements of the charlty during the year We have been unable to attend any fund raising events this year, although our collecting tins based in shops have continued to publicise our presen in the communty. Sadly. our very SUCssful relationship with the Cockapoo UK CMners Club has came to a mutually agreed end this year. We have. however. continued to receive donations from individuals on a regular basis. We have also been the beneficiary of a generous bequest from one of our supporters who sadly passed away late in 2022. This year we have been involved in the distribution of purple poppies- the remembrance of animals knlled or injured in war zones (the animal equivalent of the Brtiish Legion red poppies) to a limited extent. A total of £23232 was raised in 2023. The majority of this was the bequest that we received. Many thanks are also due to the trustees and supporters for their continued hard work and commitment. We evaluate grant applications a year (February and August), and as a result have made 14 grants totalling £19236 in 2023. 10 grants (£12236) were to UK based organisations and 4 grants (£7000) were outside the UK. It has been very encouraging to hear how the organisations have used the grants to further animal weffare and provide public benefit in doing so. The trustees have had due regard to the guidance on public benefft given in the Charities Act and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 when planning and executing each event. Plans for 2024. We will continue to work closely wrth the organisations that we support. However. the long temi illness issues currently being suffered will affect what V can achieve wrth the charity. We will assess how we can best continue to support small animal rescue organisations and we hope that we will be atAe to support a good number of them next year. TAR Marth 2012
