YARMOUTH GREYHOUND HOMEFINDERS CHARITY NUMBER 1172132 TRUSTEES REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 This is the seventh Trustee Report for the YamioLrth Greyhound Homefinders. During this year, we have received further legacies in addilion to, as well as further funds from the legacy that was part received last year. This has enabled the Charity to continue lo remain in a comfortable financial position at this time. Our continued belief in our Veterinary Assistance Scheme has meant that again significant vets bills have needed to be met in order to ensure help for all greyhounds requiring our assistance. We have continued to work with our sponsor company towards the plan to reduce these costs as far as possible, and believe that we have done so and this should help with the future financial security of the Charity In keeping with the trend of most Animal Rehoming Centres, it has, again been a very difficuli year in terms of the numbers of greyhounds that we have homed. The demand for rehomed dogs of all breeds continues to be much lower than pre and immediately post lockdown levels with the prevailing economic climate also causing issues. There has been a slight improvement in the homing rate Sin the year end and we are hopeful that his can now be maintained. The trustees are confident that the future of the Charity will be favourable. lan Woodrow Trustee Date 21110124
