Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	For the benefit of the public to relieve the suffering and alleviate distress of Bedlington Terriers and Bedlington crosses in need of care by providing behavioural support and advice to families who are experiencing issues with their dogs and re- homing Bedlington Terriers and Bedlington crosses who have been given up, left homeless or whose owners cannot keep them for whatever reason.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	 We provide medical, behavioural and training support for the dogs, gifting families, new adopters and foster homes in our care.  We now have a volunteer Rehoming Support Officer who oversees our Rehoming Register and liaises directly with potential new homes during an adoption process.  We have 3 Rehoming Supporter Officers who help to maintain a list of potential new homes within their area and liaise between these and the Rehoming Support Officer  We have built and continue to build professional relationships with qualified behaviourists and trainers around the country who we appoint to work with our dogs on a case by case basis.  We continue to offer training to all our foster carers both before they take on a dog and whilst the dog is in their care. This enables us to respond quickly to

Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main 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	 2023 was a tough year for us financially – with the downturn in the economic climate seeing some of our supporters reducing or cancelling their regular giving. We have 7 dogs in foster all needing complex medical and behavioural support, two of which were in rehabilitation kennels while we worked with them to prepare them for new foster homes. We organised several raffles, produced our usual calendar (this year the photos were judges by celebritiesHale andPace)

Docusign Envelope ID: 0D07AFAC-A7B9-45C4-B518-7D3BFE13E167

	and we ran an online auction which
	really helped to boost funds to enable
	us to get through the year.
	During 2023 we revised our rehoming
	application process and revisited our
	online Home Enquiry Form to ensure it
	captured more information from
	potential homes. This enables us to
	even more specifically match the right
	homes to the dogs in our care.
	We now manage our Rehoming
	Register through an online database
	whilst being fully GDPR compliant
	We were nominated in the PetPlan
	Animal Charity Team of the Year and
	whilst we were not lucky enough to
	win, it was a boost to our team of
	volunteers after all the hard work they
	have put into the smooth running of
	the charity over the year.
	We now have 3 fully qualified trainers
	and behaviourists on the Training and
	Behaviour Team – all are volunteers
	and all who are able to liaise with our
	appointed behaviourists around the
	country working with our rescue dogs
	and their new adopting families on the
	ground.
	In February we were named as
	Rescue of the Month by the Dog
	Centred Care Facebook group and our
	volunteer Training and Behaviour
	Advisor was invited to take part in an
	interview to talk about how the
	Bedlington Terrier Rescue Foundation
	operates. This was an excellent
	outreach and education opportunity to
	not only for the general public but also
	professionals in the field of rescue.
	Also during 2023 we launched our
	Sponsor a Foster Dog Scheme to help
	raise funds for our dogs in either
	forever or long term foster
	Our Facebook page has over 12,000
	supporters and through this we are
	able to educate as well as post
	success stories to enable our
	supporters to see how their donations
	are used to benefit the dogs in our
	care. This often involves information
	on where to get help and advice for
	Bedlington owners whose dogs also
	suffer from skin allergies / ear issues
	and copper toxicosis
We	have various other ongoing fundraising
initiatives–a Regular Giving Scheme,

Docusign Envelope ID: 0D07AFAC-A7B9-45C4-B518-7D3BFE13E167

Legacy Scheme, Collection Boxes, an annual BTRF calendar, online auctions, online raffles, photo competitions, merchandise sales, Club 200 draw etc.
