The registered address in The SPACE Centre, 2 Hornchurch Lane, Plymouth, PL5 2Th. The office gives Julie access to desk space, computin& telephone and storage faultties. It Is estimated to be gifted in-kind to the value of £8.000 per annum. In October 2022 our trustees were informed that sadly Barefoot would be closing in 2023 after supporting local communltles In Plymouth for 27 years. The trustees passed on thelr thanks for the support 8arefoot gave to the Saving Macedonian Strays from tts in￿ptiOn. The board is now looking to secure a new location where the charity can be based. In 2022 Trustee Liss Hayes spent six months volunteering In Macedonia whllst documenting the challenges faced by the local team throu8h social media. These challenges Included extreme weather conditions, a high number of stray animals, and a lack of physical help at the shelter. Her social media efforts helped promote the shelter. attracting other UK citizens to visit, volunteer, and adopt anima]s. Upon returning to the UL she successfully fostered and rehomed 12 animals and built a network of fosterers. Trustee Helen Bradley also visited the shelter in May 2022. After her stay in N Macedonla she initiated the creation and sale of handcrafted Items through the Charlty's fundralsing Facebook 8roup to support shelter costs. The trustees collectively spent an average of 70 hours per week volunteering for Saving Macedonian Stray. Thelr duties Included liaising with the team In North Macedonia, fundraisin& finanoal management, procurement. marketing and graphic design, managin8 social media sltes. respondin8 to emails and messa8es, conductin8 research and pursulng potential fundraislng opportunitles. Savlng Macedonlan Strays The report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2023 Risk Management: The charity continues to review the risks to which it is exposed. The major risk remains financial due to the cost Involved In addressing the exponential stray population problem in N Macedonla, current global un￿rtaIn￿e$ In the wake of the Covld-19 Pandemic and the worrySnE Increase In the cost of Ilvlng. The board has monltored and revlewed the increasingly concerning financial Situation during the year. The drastic increase in prices across North Macedonia significantly impacted the charity's operational costs. Bllls, Includlng those for veterinary servlces, food, utilities and supplies, nearly doubled placing additional financial strain on our partner NGO Animals Voice ma￿dOn1a and our financial resources. In response to financial challenges, the team prioritised fundraislng Initlatlves to sustain operations and support the development of a new shelter. Desplte Ilm5ted ￿SourCes, the charity explored innovattve avenues, such as social medla plafft*rms like fikTok and Insta8ram, to expand its reach and engage with a wider audience. Maggie Gjor8Ie￿-DjakOv, Animals Voice ma￿dOn1a Presldent, inittated a TlkTok account to leverage Its popularity and raise funds for the new shelter. Addltlonally, trustees dedlcated efforts to enhance the charity's presence on Instagram, resulting in a surge in followers and supporters. The Charity experienced a reduction in the number of volunteers available in the year. Thls decline posed challenges In maintalnlng the level of support needed for daily operations, including ￿hOrnIng. fundralslng efforts. admlnlstratlve tssks and developing outreach projects. Conslderlng these thallenges, Savlng Macedonlan Strays remalns steadfast In Its commitment to animal welfare and sustainability.

Despite facing financial pressures and logistical constraints, the team remalns reslllent. focuslng on collaboratlon.

However, he was born with 3 8enetic defect to hls right paw that caused it to bend unnaturally to the wrong side. As a young dog, this wasn't a problem, and Savlng Macedonian Strays The report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2023 we We￿ reassured by our vets at the time that he wasn't In paln and dldn't need amputatlon. However, as he grew blgger It was obvlous to the shelter staff that he was In pain and he wasn't happy and if he knocked his paw or another dog accldentally went near him, he was protectlve of It. To prevent any conflicts, we had to keep him away from the more bolsterous dogs In the shelter. In June a very klnd supporter offered to pay for the corrertlve surgery on Apache's paw In Fran￿. In June 2022, a plea was put outfor additional funds and wlthln weeks, the money had been ralsed for hls sur8ery. In the December we publlshed an update on Apache.
