Structure, governance and management:
The Charity was constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation and is governed by its constitution dated 16 June 2018.
Trustees are appointed or reappointed at Trustee meetings or Annual General Meeting held in April.
The objects of the Charity are for the benefit of the public:
-
a) To relieve the suffering of sick, injured or orphaned hedgehogs that are in need of care and attention by providing and maintaining rescue sites for intake, care and treatment of hedgehog with the aim of releasing such hedgehogs back into the wild wherever possible; and
-
b) To advance the education of the public on the subject of care, treatment, conservation and habitat of hedgehogs.
Objectives and Activities:
The Charity has achieved it’s objectives through the dedication and commitment of our volunteers who work diligently for the welfare of the hedgehogs that come within the Charity’s care. The Charity has continued to receive many generous and varied donations from our supporters and followers along with local businesses who have recognised our work.
Many fundraising efforts have been successfully carried out and the results reflect in the accounts, which show a gross income of £1918 at a cost of £188.
Achievements and performance
The period has seen a steady progression and a build up of contacts and volunteers who are dedicated to the aims of the Charity and devote endless hours to the preservation of the hedgehogs in their care.
Covid-19 has continued to have a direct effect on the Charity. All our usual fundraising events have remained cancelled which has left our fundraising dependent on the generosity of the public and the use of social media. We have held on-line raffles at Christmas and Easter. We also sold calendars which included pictures and crafts that members of the public sent in. Many of our volunteers got creative in making items to sell on behalf of the Charity.
We regularly use social media to keep the public aware of the plight of hedgehogs by educating them on diets, habitat, nesting sites and garden dangers.
The Charity received 594 hedgehogs for the period which is a huge increase in the previous year. This has resulted in the volunteers working to greater depths and timetable over longer hours.
The Trustees are extremely proud of the dedication and loyalty of all their volunteers who work under increasing pressure and difficulty. Prior to Covid-19 restrictions the Charity was very busy with an education objective where Trustees and volunteers gave talks on the life and habitat of hedgehogs to schools, brownies and cubs and WI. This proved a very efficient was to further public awareness to this red list endangered species and we will be looking at restarting this initiative as soon as circumstances. We have also been unable to train new foster carers which has put more pressure on our volunteers.
The Charity welcomed Claire Good, Clare Norris and Jill Newlove as Trustees in November 2020 and were sorry to lose the services of Nicola Day in March 2021, due to work commitments.
Financial Review:
The Charity has continued to establish itself in this period and has added to its reserves in cash terms by £5457 giving a balance to carry forward of £9894. This accumulated surplus will be carefully monitored along with current income and costs for the next year. The Trustees are conscious that as the Charity grows, more funds will be needed to finance future operations.
The Trustees declare that they have approved the Trustees’ report above.
