Section C Objectives and activities

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

For the benefit of the public to relieve the suffering of animals in need of care and attention and in particular, to provide and maintain rescue homes or other facilities for the reception, care and treatment of such animals.

The Charity Commission’s guidance on Public Benefit is always taken into consideration in the planning of our activities for the year. Our main activities undertaken for the Public Benefit are: RESCUE - Using modern, safe and humane equipment, we rescue cats and kittens that are often not accustomed to human contact. The cats can often be located in difficult to reach and sometimes potentially dangerous areas, so it's important that our team act professionally at all times and are aware of the hazards and dangers involved in rescuing. REHABILITATE - We have an in-house cattery and an adoption centre, which temporarily house the cats and kittens in our care. Both Summary of the main locations are equipped to ensure the upmost in comfort, safety and activities undertaken for the security. public benefit in relation to these objects (include within We are also extremely lucky to have a dedicated network of foster this section the statutory carers who provide temporary homes for some of the cats and kittens declaration that trustees have that come in to the rescue. This is useful when we have cats or kittens had regard to the guidance who have special requirements or who are not used to human issued by the Charity interaction and need introducing to a household setting. Commission on public benefit) REHOME - Our ultimate aim for every cat that comes in to the rescue is to find them a loving, safe and comfortable forever home. There is usually a lot of interest in homing young kittens, but we work extra hard to find loving homes for the older cats in our care too, they are often just as cute, if not more so than their tiny counterparts! EDUCATE - We work closely with our veterinary partners to educate people who come into contact with our rescue on the importance of neutering, for the health and wellbeing of all cats. If we are unable to help ourselves, we work closely with other charities both locally and nationally, such as advertising the cats protection neutering scheme for people who need some help getting their own cats neutered.

Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)

Our volunteers and fosterers make an immeasurable contribution to ARC with their hard work cleaning out the cat pens, feeding, handling and assisting with the day to day care of the cats and kittens.

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

They are given advice and training by our very experienced Coordinators who are always on call. They are made aware of the objectives and aims in relation to the benefits to the public in accordance with the Charity Commission’s Guidance.

As well as getting stuck into the unglamorous hard work in keeping the pens clean and all the cats fed and watered, our volunteers help with the administration, record keeping, production of forms, leaflets and PR etc, they still manage to find time to help raise funds by car boot sales, Summer & Winter fayres, shows & party evenings, and organising various other events.

The work and time put in by all our members and volunteers is completely unpaid – the love of cats is what keeps us all going.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

ARC was formed with the main objective of rescuing and rehoming unwanted cats and kittens. Our Charity continues to thrive, rescuing and rehoming unwanted /abandoned cats and kittens. Last year we achieved over 700 adoptions, and we helped over 1,600 animals. Our main goal is to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome stray, homeless and unwanted cats and kittens in to loving forever homes. But, unfortunately this isn’t possible in all cases, for example, older cats, which tend to remain with fosterers.

We have spayed and neutered hundreds of cats over the past year to help control the massive feral cat population in our community.

Our procedures and standards are continually under review. Health and Safety procedures especially are scrutinised to ensure they are being followed.

We are constantly working at improving our administration and communication throughout the Charity.

Care is taken with the induction of new volunteers so that any reservations or problems are covered; helping them feel confident in the knowledge of what is expected and also not to be afraid to ask for any advice or help.

Our restructuring of the charity, with a team of volunteers overseeing the welfare of the cats in our care, health and safety, fundraising, fosterers, homing and admissions, has worked well over the year.

Our fundraising has increased with events such as our Summer and Winter fayres, shows and party evenings, skydiving, cake making and many more.

The charity is thriving; all cats are homed after being vet checked, vaccinated, flead and wormed. We continue to attract and recruit more volunteers on an ongoing basis.
