achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|**Last year saw another very busy year at the**
**hospital with total admission figures at 1777. Many**
**of these are admitted in our busy season which**
**are between the months of April-September. Main**
**reasons for the higher admission figures in these**
**months are due to the high number of orphaned or**
**young animals being admitted.**
**Fundraising efforts consisted of local quizzes and**
**fetes and successful grant applications from**
**Animal Friends Insurance of £3,500 and Jean**
**Sainsbury Animal Welfare Trust of £2,000. We**
**received a donation of £3,000 from Midlands**
**Animal Rescue Trust.**
**We have had continued support from Newport Bag**
**Company and Soaps by Rosie throughout the year**
**with regular donations from their handmade items**
**which we appreciate greatly.**
**We were also lucky to benefit from a local**
**organisation called the Animal Rescue Volunteers**
**who choose several local charities each year to**
**benefit from their own fundraising events and we**
**received monthly donations from them for 12**
**months which was fantastic.**
**We have continued our partnership with Hoglets**
**Wildlife Education which is still proving very**
**popular with local schools and is a very important**
**aspect our work.**
**It is to be noted that figures are down by £7,000**
**this year. We believe that this is due to receiving a**
**large out of the blue £40,000 legacy donation in**
**2022 which sets our figures out of line for the**
**average yearly income. This along with the ever**
**rising cost of utilities.**
**However 2024 is set to be another promising year**
**with a second legacy donation of £10-15,000 and**
**having been chosen to benefit from a large**
**Convention where donations are around £20,000**
**mark.**
**We are continuing to expand, where funds allow,**
**and we now have a new shed with individual pens**
**built inside which can be used for an array of**
**species such as ducklings, rabbits in the summer**
**months and hedgehogs in the winter. This will free**
**up much needed space in our hospital. We also**
**would like to develop a new waterfowl**
**rehabilitation area which will include 2 small pools**
**and an enclosure with shed.**
**The staff, volunteers and board of trustees at The**
**BWRC would like to thank all of our supporters**
**from the bottom of hearts for all of their kind**
**donations and hard work that allows The British**
**Wildlife Rescue Centre to continue our operations**| **into the future and continue to provide life-saving care to local wildlife in need.** |**Additional information (optional)**
