Since March 2017 we have continued to advertise for volunteers on our social media pages. We have received a few offers of assistance but nothing long term. We have assistance, with regard to adoption processes, from a Belgium national. We have assistance, with regard to Moroccan oversight, from an Italian national and a Moroccan national. We have assisted in placing UK volunteers with some of the main rescue teams we support.

Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
This years report is very different due to the current turn of events.
In March 2020 the global coronavirus pandemic hit and we began setting up an action plan for fielding all donations for SFT through us (later also those for CSP) whilst they continued with their own UK Charity application and setting up a UK bank account. We have agreed to deal with the accounts on a temporary basis whilst the CORONAVIRUS (Covid-19) Lockdown is in place across the globe.
The global pandemic hit Morocco really hard with restaurants and shops closed and residents not travelling to work. This had a devastating impact on the survival of the street animals, especially as tourism had dried up completely, and we had to help concentrate efforts on fund raising, promoting the work of the rescue teams and putting those still able to leave home in touch with those who had animals in distress. During this time we received the help of a supporter, who then became one of our permanent volunteers, with finalising the contact list for vets, organisations and Moroccan based supporters. This is now utilised when we are contacted for support.
During the pandemic we have continued to receive and support many adoptions alongside requests for advice into diseases such as rabies however our main focus has been on ensuring the rescue teams have enough funds to cope, without the additional support of local businesses and tourism, during this pandemic. We were also able to support an initiative set up by one of the rescue teams – providing funds for food bags for the poorest members of the community. The bags were hung on branches and rubbish bins when the animal feed was also sprinkled on the ground. This meant there was an “army” of street dwellers keeping watch on the street animals whilst being provided with food for themselves.
Throughout this period we have also continued to facilitate the use of UK volunteers already based in Morocco, adoptions from Morocco to the UK and UK scientific studies into animal diseases. The educational projects, apart from social media posts, have been put on hold temporarily.

## **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves**
The charity currently does not have a reserves policy, however this is something that is being kept under review. At present this is not an issue as we do not provide funding support without the donations already being available.
## **Details of any funds materially in deficit**
Not applicable
## **Further financial review details (Optional information)**
You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about:
- the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising);
- how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;
- investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.
The charity’s principal sources of funds are from donors through social media campaigns.
Expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity by continuing to support veterinary care, vaccination and neutering programmes, support to local communities and tourists as well as supporting the volunteering programmes being run by these organisations giving opportunities to foreign nationals, including from the UK. We have continued to offer volunteering opportunities within the charity however currently have not attracted permanent additional support.
( _update – 2021/2022 tax year, we now have two additional volunteers assisting with administrative duties and looking into fundraising opportunities)_

When exercising powers, and duties, all trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on Public Benefit. An example of this being a review of the guidance during the trustee meeting when considering funding applications and requests from organisations for general administrative assistance.
As a young charity, with trustees operating on a part-time basis, our main activities have focussed around fundraising, through social media, for a number of campaigns.
**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)**
We held our first official meeting in January 2017 where we discussed the way forward and how to address the “public benefit” considerations when faced with requests for assistance. For us this is fairly easy as while our focus is on supporting animal welfare the up side of this is the benefit to the public through:
*protecting local communities from infected, diseased animals by supporting the TNVT (trap, neuter, vaccinate, tag) programs. *supporting poorer members of the communities through fundraising for veterinary care.
*supporting the education programmes through sharing good practices.
*providing opportunities for individual self/career development, both in the UK and Morocco, by supporting volunteering opportunities in areas such as “hands on” experiences in Morocco and administrative duties in the UK
