Objectives and Activities
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | For the public benefit to relieve the suffering of working animals in need of care and attention by reason of sickness, maltreatment, poor circumstances or ill usage, and to educate the public in matters of animal welfare by providing grants to organisations, and in particular to The Jarjeer Mule and Donkey Refuge. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
Donations have been received and grants made to Jarjeer Mule and Donkey Refuge and to verified individuals throughout Morocco to carry out animal welfare needs throughout Morocco. Jarjeer Mule and Donkey Refuge has assisted and verified all work carried out that we have contributed to. Promotional work, including videos, has been through social media. Leaflets have also been regularly distributed including a dedicated QR code. Regular news sheets are distributed to people whom connect and approve circulation through our website. This year has been a year like we would never have imagined. Receiving reports from Morocco it was very upsetting to find that so many equines were being abandoned during the pandemic. Two of our trustees have visited Morocco and have been able to verify that the Jarjeer and Mule and Donkey refuge have not refused to take an animal in distress. The nature of the injuries of the Donkeys and the mules so much more serious and in previous years. |
| The Refuge has taken over 100 extra equines including, for the first time, horses. This is required extra stabling and the trust has been able to assist in that regard. There are two other major charities in Morocco who have assisted working animals over the years but they're only able to offer hospital facilities and have made it quite clear that they are not rescue organisations. It is clear from reports that we have received so many working animals will not be replaced as owners will rely more on mechanised vehicles. The priority during the pandemic has been to ensure that suffering is reduced, the animals are treated and equines are fed. The Jarjeer Refuge now houses 200 equines including 15 stallions and five mares. Inevitably many have died and are buried with dignity on the Refuge's land. We are aware that discussions are ongoing between the local authority in Marrakech and the refuge itself as to future cooperation to provide increased welfare for equines how do most importantly reduce the public health risk resulting from the abandonment of equines in the city. |

| Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit |
Para 1.18 | The Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission. We are satisfied that this requirement has been met in terms of relief to families in need (who form a substantial sector of the population as a whole) who could not afford to keep their animals during the pandemic. |

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 | We continue to be satisfied that our achievements this year have made a substantial difference for working animals in Morocco, many whose lives have been saved from starvation resulting in a painful death but also to the wider public as a whole who have avoided the public health risk of equine corpses being left to rot in public areas. This view has been confirmed by the Wali (the Governor of the Marrakech and Safi Region), and the Marrakech Municipality who want to partner with the Jarjeer Refuge. This is an important step forward in terms of animal welfare. The Refuge continues to provide services to many Caleche horses in Marrakech who were starving as a result of the absence of tourists and owners loss of income. Representative of the Caleche Horse Association participated in meetings with the Municipality, The Refuge continues to take mules and donkeys from various parts of the country such as Casablanca, Rabat, Tangier and south of Agadir. They undertake a considerable amount of outreach work and advise owners in surrounding area. Calls for assistance from Moroccans continues to increase. |
