support and guidance in the general health and

individual bird in our care and will support each new

## **Current membership numbers:**
Number of current members as at 31[st] March 2021 = 139
Number of sponsors as at 31[st] March 2018 = 3
## **Educational Events:**
Covid permitting, we endeavour to undertake more educational outreach talks and events in the coming year to various groups and societies to help promote care, advice, support, guidance and general awareness on caring for pet birds.
Every three months we attend Melbourne House Care Home in Nottingham and take with us some of our more friendly birds for a “Meet and Greet” and put a smile on most of the residents’ faces. We regularly go into Brinsley Primary School to let the children stroke the birds and ask questions about them.
All “Meet and Greets” and educational talks that we do are totally free of charge and feel we, in a small way, are giving something back to the community.
## **Publicity:**
When we have a big event on the horizon we kindly ask BBC Radio Nottingham to publicise it. They gladly agree but almost insist that we go in and have a chat on air.
## **Future aims:**
Our aim for the future is to raise our profile within our community. We have set up a webpage, a facebook page and endeavour to keep these up-to-date with information and upcoming events.
We hope to include more use of social media in the future, including Twitter and YouTube videos.
We hope to make better use of digital media, which should help to promote us more to the general public giving greater awareness with regard to the services we offer and the help we are able give.
We also aim to increase our membership and sponsorship numbers.
We also intend to source opportunities for grant applications with a view to supplementing our fundraising activities. We hope to put at least one grant application forward in the coming year.
Since last year we helped two school children with work experience and have two more booked in for this July. We are also in
the act of helping two adults gain experience to help with their University course.
At the moment we are offering a boarding service to the public covering sickness, holidays and hospitalisation whereby help is required by the public to look after their birds.
BBC Radio Nottingham have invited us back in the future year to advertise our forthcoming events.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
