|Summary ofthe main
achievements
ofthe charity
during the year||Like everyone,
this year has been shaped
by the pandemic.
Animal
Antiks managed
to remain open throughout
the lockdowns,
supporting
vulnerable
children and adults but in the first lockdown we had to furlough
the majority ofthe staff. To keep everyone safe we limited the number of|
|||new children
who could start and cancelled visits for new placements.|
|||Fortunately,
we were in a position to welcome
all staff back in July 2021|
|||and, due to increase demand
for our services, have taken on additional|
|||staff for the second half ofthe year.
At the start of2021 we were|
|||supporting
up to70members
attending
each week, and despite the|
|||pandemic
we have seen over 100members
attending
our regular|
|||sessions during this last year. Some attend forjust a couple ofhours a|
|||week, whilst others attend for five days a week.|
|||Our Countrymen
club was due to open in April 2020 and we had to delay|
|||the start ofthat club, and again having
rescheduled
itto start in October|
|||2020. However,
we were fortunate
enough to get the grant providers
to|
|||roll over the funding
to the next financial year sothat we are on track to|
|||start the club in May 2021. This will support
men over 50who enjoy the|
|||outdoors
like but are suffering social isolation or various
health issues.|
|||A group which was successfully
started
in 2020 was our Walk &Talks.|
|||Initially we teamed up with the mental
health charity Bucks Mind in|
|||Aylesbury
and, with the help ofanother charity operating
the Bemwode|
|||Bus, transported
a number ofpeople being supported
by Bucks Mind up|
|||to the farm. Once at the farm they were teamed
up with a group ofour|
|||alpacas and headed out across the tracks and fields ofthe farm to enjoy|
|||a walk in the fresh air. On average g or 10 people attended
each week|
|||and as they increased
their stamina we were able.to walk furfirer and|
|||they started to grow in confidence and started to chat and socialise as a|
|||group.
Just before we entered Tier4when the walks had to stop, we|
|||managed
to walk tothe highest
point ofthe farm and enjoy the far|
|||reaching views on a lovely clear November
day. These walks were|
|||funded
by the National
Lottery Community
Fund and thanks to their|
|||generosity
we were able to offer 'March Mental Well Being Walks' as the|
|||lockdown started toease. We continued
to team up with Bemwode Bus|
|||as there was still anxieties about public transport
but we successfully|
|||walked 3times a week for around 90walkers.|
|||During the school holidays we offered 'Family Farm Tours' thanks for|
|||funding
received from a variety ofsources. We worked
with a number of|
|||different support charities (such as Child Bereavement
UK, Young|
|||Carers, Florrles children
hospice etc)to provide a small number oftheir|
|||families an opportunity
to visit the farm, interact with the animals and|
|||have fun on the farm fora couple ofhours.
Each family was given a|
|||specific start time and allocated a team member to show them round.|
|||Additional
safety measures were put in the place to keep everyone safe|
|||and all families reported
having an enjoyable time.
Having secured|
|||funding
to weatherproof
our main animal
barn from the Coronavirus|
|||Stabilisation
Fund we were able to schedule
more ofthese sessions|
|||during the winter months as weIL
Unfortunately,
the tier 4 lockdown|
|||delayed these but they were eventually
rescheduled
for Easter 2021|
|||For obvious reasons we have been unable to run our usual fundraising|
|||events but in December 2020 we did introduced
Encounter Experience|
|||vouchers for alpaca walks, animal encounters
and mini farmer|
|||experiences.
These proved popular on the run up to Christmas
and as|
|||the financial year was coming toadoss we were able to start welcoming|
|||eo le to the farm to have their animal encounter ex eriences.|
|||Since moving to our new farm in September 2017whenever
funding
has
been available we have continued
to improve the facilities and services|
|---|---|---|
|||we olfer our members.
However,
over the next 12months
our big plans
are to improve our accommodation
and facilities by creating new
classroom spaces, a new office/shop
area but more importantly,
new
toilet facilities so we can llnally move away from our existing portaloo
facilities.
This will obviously be a big undertaking
for the charity but one
we think is necessary to continue to improve what we offer. As well as|
|||finally starting the Countrymen
Club we also hope to expand the number
ofWalk &Talks we can offer and are starting to look at introducing
group
farm school sessions
in September 2021.|
|Briefstatement ofthe
charity's
policy on reserves||Animal
Antiks policy on reserves is to minimise
the amount ofmoney
kept aside to maximise
benefits for members.|
|||A reserve is required to be set aside to protect Animal Antiks against a
drop in income or late payments
from members or rsferrsrs.
The policy
is to build up reserves and hold funds equivalent
to three months of|
|||operating costs.|
|||We currently
have a some reserved funds which have been awarded
to|
|||us and are set aside for use on our accommodation
improvements
and
with the Countrymen
dub.|
