During the course of the reporting period WRCW working documents and forms have been updated where necessary.
We have 5 trustees with WRCW. 2 of the trustees are appointed as Secretary and Treasurer.
Cats Protection have continued assisted us with funding the neutering of feral cats and kittens. We also have a good working relationships with Spaywatch charity in Peterborough who fund the shortfall in our neutering requirement. They have also assisted us with costs for combination flea and worm treatment which has also resulted in a reduced spend on essential parasite treatments.
Working relationships with Wood Green Animal Shelters and Cat Welfare Wisbech have resulted in the trapping, intake and rehoming of a large number of cats and kittens. It is essential to the continued future that this continues as without their support we would be unable to rescue or take in as many felines as we do, this due to lack of accommodation pen space and costs associated with the prolonged holding of cats.

For the benefit of the public to relieve the suffering of cats and kittens in Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire who are in need of care and attention and, in particular but not exclusively by:
**Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document**
a) the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of abandoned cats and kittens
- b) the neuter and release of feral cats to humanely controlled colonies
- c) the education of the public in matters pertaining to cat welfare in general and the prevention of cruelty and suffering among cats and kittens
As a charity dedicated to the neutering of feral cats our purpose is to advise and guide the public as to the need to neuter ferals and to help them where possible with this by loaning trapping equipment, helping them to trap, securing neutering funding and providing temporary accommodation for contained ferals both post and pre neutering. We also provide care and accommodation for feral kittens prior to neutering and eventual rehoming. **Summary of the main** The trustees except and understand the guidance issued by the **activities undertaken for the** Charity Commission on public benefit. **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)**

## Section D Achievements and erformance p
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
This year has proven to be another busy year with requests for help far exceeding assistance that we have been able to provide.
Due to very little donations during this reporting year and a very poor and a very poor year for donations compared to the previous years. We have continued with the decision to cease accommodating unwell cats on site.
Any unwell cats we are alerted to were taken directly to the vets and either treated and returned or rehomed or if unwell were accommodated by our established volunteers in their own homes until the cats were either rehomed if domesticated or returned to site if feral.
The trustees at the last meeting of the reporting year made the decision to significantly reduce rescue activity. More focus will be on supporting other rescues.
We have found that this has been a worthwhile way of both continuing to function in a much reduced way whilst also still assisting with the recovery of stray and feral cats in the community and supporting fellow rescues in this period of uncertainty.
We continue to work alongside other rescues who remain actively recovering strays and will maintain this approach for the foreseeable future.
