						Amazon Smile after they discontinued their
						scheme. However we now receive regular
						commission from our insurance partner,
						Agria Insurance, should our adopters take
						out a full policy after their 5weeks free
						insurance has expired. We are an
						approved homing centre for the Greyhound
						Board ofGreat Britain. This entitles us to a
						bond payment ofE400for every dog we
						take in under the scheme and this is our
						main single source of income at present.
						Where the bond hasn't been fully paid to
						the GBGB by the owner/trainer we have
						made an outlay but we get this returned in
						the f400. Over this reporting period our
						bond outlay has reduced dramatically as
						most bonds should now be covered by the
						owner/trainers. In December 2022, itwas
						agreed with our kennel provider that we
						should pay for 15kennel spaces rather
						than number ofdogs. This has reduced our
						kennel bill and made it the same fee every
						month which helps with our budgeting. We
						have a website and have 3379followers on
						our facebook page and 494followers on
