Flori's Friends Rescue (CIO)
Trustees Report for the year ended 28 February 2024
The Trustees present their report and the receipts and payments accounts for the year ended 28
February 2024.
Reference and Administrative Information
Charity information set out on Page I forms part of this report. The accounts have been prepared
on the receipts and payments basis.
Governing Document
The charity is governed by its Trust Deed dated 28 February 2018.
Objectives, Aims and Activities
To promote humane behaviour towards animals, by providing appropriate care, protection,
treatment, and security for animals which need care and attention due to sickness, maltreatment,
poor circumstances, or ill treatment. To educate the public In matters pertaining to animal welfare
in general and the prevention of cruelty and suffering among animals.
We are a specialist rehabilitation centre for disabled and mobility impaired animals; often dealing
with complex medical needs and taking these dogs on the road to recovery for them to go on and
enjoy the rest of their lives like any other dog. The rehabilitation of these animals is more time
consuming and more costly due to the surgery required and subsequent after care which can be
resource hungry on volunteers and fosters, the rewards come when we see the animal fully
rehabilitated and leading a normal life with their adopter. We have a specialist network of vets,
suppliers and trainers who help us to take care of these dogs and get them the corrett treatment
for their needs. Once they have been treated physically and nursed back to health, we start to train
them to use their new wheelchairs and sometimes even prosthetics. As they become used to their
new wheels, we see them grow in confidence and really start to get their sparkle back.
We take in unwanted dogs and cats from across the UK- these have been abused or abandoned and
need someone to show them love. We operate a strict no kill policy working with disabled dogs and
ones with behavioural problems to fully rehabilitate them; providing them with wheelchairs and
behavioural therapy to allow them to enjoy their lives Just like any other dog. This often means we
take the ones those other charities will not touch, we work with them, no matter how long it takes,
to give them the second chance to lead a happy and fulfilled life.
We specialise in trauma and neglected cases, with 700/0 of our (Jogs having been subjerted to
excruciating pain, injuryi and torture. Fifty percent of our animals come from killing stations in
Europe. Dogs that ended up in these places are either severely abused and mishandled or destroyed
using inhumane treatments such as hit around the head with hammers or injected with paint
stripper.
Key Achievements and Future Plan$
Throughout the year Flori's Friends Rescue have been able to provide support to and rehome animals
from both UK and Europe, our focus has been the UK as so many animals have unfortunately been
given up by their owners due to the economic climate. In the last 12 months a total of 72 cats, 2
cats were returned and rehomed. 12 dogs and 2 disabled dogs have been rescued and I rehomed,
2 dogs were returned and rehomed.
We have seen an increase in online sponsorships which provide support for our disabled dogs who
live with end-of-life foster5 and need long tertn specialist treattnent. This provides a more interactive
way for donors to support with the care and rehabilitation of animals.
Our Founder Natalia George has sUPPOrted approximately 30 people in this period, teaching owners
how to express dogs. bladders and how to walk in a wheelchair, they usually come to the charity
after they have been seen by a vet.

Flori's Friends Rescue (CIO)
Trustees Report for the year ended 28 February 2024
We now have 3 Trustees and 36 volunteers.
Our long-term strategy and main goal is to expand into a permanent UK rescue centre with the main
focus being a paralysed dog rehabilitation facilityi this will allow us to expand our rescue operation
in the UK for dogs and cats spending more time rehabilitating animals as and when required. Once
we have a UK rescue centre base with on-site facilities, we can rehabilitate more disabled dogs
rather than placing them on a waiting list until we have space. A UK rescue centre will allow us to
take in animals from the local council e.g., emergency rescues. Going forward this will be a place
for volunteers to visit and interact with our team and animals. Our Founder will run an after-school
club for children, teaching them animal husbandry.
Fundraising is done online social media and through grant applications to established Trusts and
FoLJndations. We do not use e-mails to personal e-mail accounts or telephone calls, as a means of
fundraising.
We collect and process data in accordance with The Data Protection Act {DPAI 2018 and we never
pass supporters, details on to any other charities or organisations. We keep supporters, information
secure, and up to date, only retaining for as long as it is required.
The charity has 2 paid employees, and the charity engages the services of, a self-employed Dog
trainer, a self-employed Marketing manager and Fundraising manager to oversee these funrtions.
They are all accountable to the board.
The Trustees are sincerely grateful to all their supporters, all donations make a significant difference
to the work the charity is able to do.
