Structure and Mana
ement
Redditch Cat Rescue (RCR) is managed by trustees of whom there shall be a
minimum of three and a maximum of six. There are currently two trustees that form
the management team who hold meetings to discuss and review progress and
policies in the rescue. New trustees are appointed by existing trustees from within its
volunteers. Election to post is decided at the AGM. They are briefed on their legal
obligations, the decision-making process and the recent financial performance of the
charity. We are currently in the process of appointing a new trustee.
Risk Mana
ement
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks that may arise within the
rescue and to ensure appropriate controls / measures are in place to provide
assurance against any error / fraud.
Financial Review
This year has been an extremely challenging year with an e.ver-increasing number of
cats needing our help. People are struggling with the increase in the cost of living .
Which has a knock-on effect of them struggling to pay for vets bill, food and
neutering of their animals. In regard to fundraising, w.e have as always held our own
larger events and managed to participate in some other smaller events held by other
charities and organisations. As always, our generous supporters have donated
where and however they could. They have given both monetary and non-monetary
donations such as food and litter. We have bNO collection bins in both Morrison's and
Tesco's. This is a massive help to the rescue with its day to day running, feeding of
feral colonies and enabling us to help those who are struggling.
Financial accounts are available for the year 202312024.
A policy minimum reserve value is not necessary. Current policy is to maintain
sufficient cash funds for known commitments.

Public Benefit
Rescuing cats and kittens that need help and finding them forever homes. Helping
people financially with neutering costs. Also providing people with food for their
animals for example people that are feeding cats that are not their own i.e. feral
colonies or those that are struggling financially.
Taking part in the trap neuter release programme (TNR). If it is possible after
neutering and providing any necessary veterinary treatment cats are relocated to
outdoor homes such as stables or small holdings. Younger cats can be socialized
and rehomed. This helps to reduce the expansion of feral colonies.
Giving advice and guidance to anyone who may need our help verbally or through
our website and Facebook page.
Ob"ectives and Activities
The main objective of RCR remains to rescue cats and kittens in,Worcestershire and
Birmingham areas and rehome where possible. The charity aims to have sufficient
fundraising to look after the cats whilst in our care and to be able to continue to be
able to take part in the TNR programme. To further these aims we have a small
number of foster homes which we are still hoping to increase. Existing catteries have
had some updates which have made them more secure and easier to access by our
volunteers. We are currently looking to update our top pen which is frequently used
for feral cats whilst they are recuperating from neutering or nursing kittens.
Volunteers
The charity is extremely grateful for the efforts of its volunteers who are involved in
.fostering, home checking, cat care, socialising nervous cats and fundraising. Without
this valuable contribution of time and enthusiasm we would not be able to achieve as
much as.
