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, due to the continued restrictions caused by the pandemic, is very similar to last years.

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 agreed to deal with the accounts on a temporary basis whilst the CORONAVIRUS (Covid-19) Lockdown caused logistical issues across the globe.

The global pandemic hit Morocco really hard with the country being one of the last to “open up”. Whilst tourism has gradually returned, and we have been able to support European travellers wanting to volunteer for short periods during their travels, the impact of both the pandemic and Brexit has seen a reduction in adoptions due to the huge amount of paperwork and complicated processes to get through. During this time we have been supporting three main rescue teams in their joint efforts to bring Morocco up to similar levels as other countries in the fight against rabies and animal cruelty. The representatives from these well respected rescue teams have had a “voice” on the world stage which has really highlighted the plight of Moroccan street animals.

We have seen a huge rise in contact from those wanting financial support but at the same time we have been comforted by the number of contacts from individuals who are seeking medical support for injured animals they have come across. We have had to work closely with the rescue teams in order to provide the best advice and support.

Our main focus has continued to be that of ensuring the rescue teams have enough funds to cope as the country comes out of this pandemic. The rescue shelters have found themselves fit to bursting with dwindling financial assistance and support has had to focus on treating and vaccinating the ever increasing number of street animals.

We have continued to facilitate the use of UK volunteers already based in Morocco and the educational programmes, especially those within the American and British speaking schools, has recommenced.

One of the main rescue teams we have supported, during the pandemic, has now successfully gained charity status in their own right and the support we provide to them in collection of funds has returned to a level we saw pre-pandemic. Another of the main rescue teams has still struggled to retain volunteers and continues in their own quest to obtain charity status. Once this is achieved it will give us the opportunity to progress with campaign projects and our own volunteer programme in support of the increasing number of British students seeking volunteering opportunities to enhance their CV’s.

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.

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 and we now have two additional volunteers assisting with administrative duties and looking into fundraising opportunities. We have further interest from a number of individuals both in the UK and in Morocco.
