## **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|The charity is still taking in a small number
of sick wildlife due to the hospital size
being decreased. The other trustees help
but not in fundraising as they have other
priorities and are elderly so that has been
non-existent this year as there is only one
trustee to run the hospital with no
volunteers. Thankfully, a legacy enables
the charity to run and allow for it to
continue with its vital work. Despite low
levels of help this year, the charity was still
able to release 124 animas back to the
wild, benefitting the environment and
community.|
