Blankets for Baby Rhinos Trustee annual report 2023:
Linda Grave joined our trustees and admin in January 2023.
Fundraising continues using Givey as our UK platform Facebook Donate who now pays through Paypal ,Paypal donate and through our shop (Paypal). Paypal donate has enabled us to acquire monthly recurring donations which we are encouraging.
We have been transferring funds direct to our beneficiaries via international transfer.
We have kept our gambling licence so we can legally hold raffles.
BFBR continues to be a successful charity having won the leopard award for the fouth year running from SAN parks honorary rangers for our contribution to their project watchdog.
We have continued to support our long standing beneficiaries such as Care For Wild, SANparks k-9 unit, Umoya Khulula Wildlife Centre , and African wildlife vets as South African beneficiaries. We also paid for an emergency dehorning in a KZN reserve through TUSK charity.
We continue to work with the AWARE trust Zimbabwe sponsoring supplies for their rangers and ranger of the month award.
Transport of blankets and other items have been greatly helped by our collaboration with KLM charity Wings for animals who fly items for us on a regular basis.
Elisa Best our founder met with Sam (acting head of K9 in KNP ) and Moira (head of project watchdog) and discussed setting up an emergency fund to pay vet fees for advanced care for the antipoaching K9s. Elisa also met the Cape Town table mountain unit and we have sponsored anti stab vets for their 6 k9s.
Linda our new trustee organised a collaboration with COAT and a local football team to help supply the rangers of Kruger and their children with football kit. Linda was able to meet Sam and deliver some of the items herself.
Elizabeth Conroy continues to run our online shop as well as doing local market and Tombola. We also receive regular donations from Beverly who regularly does boot fairs.
Liz Brown continues to run her online craft shop Creations for rhinos where all profits are donated to BFBR.
We are very pleased with how the charity is running with both fundraising and now resumed transport of blankets and other goods via volunteers to South Africa and Zimbabwe
