OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

Hope Pastures Horse and Donkey Rescue and Welfare (Hope Pastures) is an independent horse, pony and donkey sanctuary. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome horses, ponies and donkeys. Our ultimate aim is to find the animals in our care a fulfilling life in a home where they will spend the rest of their days being loved and cared for.

Hope Pastures is open to the public six days a week and is free to visit.

We are a small charity. We have the capacity to care for up to 30 animals on site and are responsible for over 100 more, out on loan, enjoying enriched lives.

In 2024, we took in 40 welfare horses and rehomed 29 more to loving loan homes. These are double the numbers of 2023.

In addition to on-site work, our welfare team supports, advises, and educates horse owners in the local community. We also respond to calls from the public with concerns about neglected horses, ponies, or donkeys. We work with other welfare organisations that have the power to seize neglected animals.

Hope Pastures offers the local community opportunities to learn about animal welfare. Our inner-city base gives those who wouldn't usually have the chance to meet horses or donkeys the opportunity to see the animals grazing and interacting with each other. We run educational visits for schools, children's groups and support groups.

In 2024, we continued to offer our facilitated programme for adults with additional needs. Our supported programme allows students to volunteer at Hope Pastures every week with guidance from our staff and additional support from carers or support workers.

The charity aims to meet the following objectives:

  1. The advancement of equine welfare through rescue, support and education of the public.

  2. To provide free access to all community members so they can spend time with the animals, benefiting both individuals physically and emotionally.

  3. To rehabilitate horses identified as vulnerable and who are brought on site as welfare cases, and wherever possible, find them loving loan homes.

  4. To offer people with additional needs a programme which delivers transferable skills.

Put more generally, the aims of the charity are to promote humane behaviour towards animals by providing appropriate care, protection, treatment and security for horses, ponies, donkeys and any other Equidae which are in need of care and attention by reason of sickness, maltreatment, poor circumstances or ill usage and to educate the public in matters pertaining to animal welfare in general and the prevention of cruelty and suffering among animals.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Achievement to date

2024 was our 20th year as a charity, and we had a series of anniversary fundraising events. These included

Progress in 2024

At the start of 2023, we initiated an independent audit to assess the site's health and safety, visitor experience, and equine welfare, with a focus on structures and layout. This comprehensive audit, which involved key senior staff and trustees, provided the charity with strategic development priorities and a roadmap for the future, independent of any management changes. In 2024, the audit's findings have been instrumental in guiding our decisions, prioritising future developments, and allowing the on-site facilities to continue evolving.

In 2024, many site improvements were made following our fundraising efforts, community partnerships and generous grant allocations.

We received grants from: Barry Green Memorial Trust £8,992 Keith Howard Foundation £5,000 PetPlan Charitable Trust £5,000 Gerrick Rose Animal Trust £500 An unnamed trust £500

Grants of £8,992 and £500 enabled us to extend and redevelop our on-site sand area. This is an area for our grass-sensitive ponies. Our previous sand area was adequate, but not large enough to accommodate several horses. By extending the area, we have created two separate, adjoining sand spaces that, when combined, allow room for exercise and interaction between several ponies. The ability to divide the two adjacent regions also gives space on site for sensitive and gradual introductions between ponies. We have a field shelter that covers both areas with an internal dividing wall for independent rest.

A grant of £5,000, given in 2023, enabled us to continue in 2024 to re-fence the walkway that runs through the centre of the sanctuary. With paddocks on either side, the walkway allows visitors safe access to the equines. The old fencing had been there for many years and was becoming unsafe as the posts rotted at ground level.

A grant of £5,000 enabled us to vaccinate new welfare intakes and test for strangles while they were in our quarantine area.

The Visitor Centre, which sells refreshments and preloved items, goes from strength to strength and is run entirely by volunteers. It opened in 2012 and underwent an aesthetic overhaul in February 2023. It proves to be a welcoming space for children and their families. In 2024, we ran a series of workshops, including a Christmas wreath-making workshop. We encourage recycling and sustainability by asking volunteers and the public to donate any high-quality, unwanted gifts to us, which we then sell to visitors.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

The area of preloved tack, the 'Tack Rummage Room' is our most significant income stream. The location of this area was close to the quarantine area. With its success grew extra footfall which we identified as compromising our high standards in health and safety. In 2024, we relocated this facility into a dedicated, fenced area of its own away from the quarantine area. Installing two new portacabins has enabled us to keep unsorted, donated tack separate from the tack available for sale and provide a more organised experience for customers. In 2024, pre-loved tack sales brought in £25,251.

Even amid economic challenges, our regular giving campaigns have continued to thrive, demonstrating the unwavering support of our stable supporters, the Donkey Club, and regular givers.

Our contract with a local educational establishment continued in 2024, providing young adults with complex needs, access to and opportunities with equines and yard work. This programme not only encourages valuable transferable skills, such as cooperation, coordination, and communication, but the group are a welcome addition to the Hope Pastures community and the contract provides a valuable revenue stream for the charity, bringing in £17,100.

Site Buildings

At the end of 2023 a storm destroyed the gable end of our hay barn, an old stone building dating back centuries leaving it in a precarious position. During 2024 we liaised with our insurance company and loss adjusters to receive the finance needed to restore it to a safe condition. The entire roof needed retiling in keeping with the traditional yorkshire stone aesthetics and the gable end was rebuilt. We were able to sell the old stone roofing tiles to contribute to the overall cost. The project was successful, on time and to budget and was completed by early January 2025.

Welfare and a visit from the National Equine Welfare Council

Hope Pastures has been a member of the National Equine Welfare Council (NEWC) for ten years. In June 2024, we had our regular inspection. The visit was very successful; the inspector said:

"It was very impressive to see a small, cohesive team making the best use of valuable space and resources while ensuring good welfare for all the animals involved."

The inspector was confident enough in our policies, procedures, and care of our equines that she approved self-assessment for our next inspection.

Since 2017, we have employed a welfare coordinator to support vulnerable animals and their owners in the local community. The coordinator works four days a week. They assess pony conditions in the community and liaise with other animal welfare organisations that have the power to seize and prosecute. Our rehoming coordinator assists with welfare calls and assessments of equines in the community, and with our rehoming coordinator finds loan homes for our equines on-site. They also liaise with other animal welfare organisations that have the power to seize and prosecute. In 2024 we took 172 welfare calls from people concerned about equines in their community or needing to relinquish their pony to a rescue.

Partners

In 2024, British Horse Feeds and Spillers supported us, giving us very welcome vouchers to redeem against feed. We remained community partners with Pets At Home Foundation and made regular fundraising visits to their stores. In turn, we receive donations from them twice a year and voucher lifelines, which are quarterly vouchers that can be spent in their store. We use these to buy products for raffles to raise further funds.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

Our income and expenditure in 2024 showed a deficit of £14,045.

Legacies are our primary source of income, but they are unpredictable. 2024 was a positive year, and we received £140,060.

Grants were up on last year with a total of £19,890. These were awarded to help with site improvements and equine welfare, with a few unrestricted grants to cover general running costs.

The combined amount of legacies, grants, and donations totalled £243,462.

Vet bills and therapy bills were £54,700, which was lower than in 2023, and considering the number of equines we took in, was a positive result. In mid-2024, we welcomed a 10% discount from our vet on all bills and medication.

A government-led hourly rate of pay increase in 2024 increased the amount spent on individuals' wages compared to previous years. However, a decrease in the number of staff hours meant the overall figure was down on 2023 at £218,445.

Things of note in 2024 were:

Pony Days and Birthday parties were popular, bringing in £9,403.

We continued to run our annual fundraising events: Craft Fair, Annual Summer Fayre, and Autumn Fayre. We attended local galas and fundraising events to raise awareness of the charity and funds. We also ran raffles and an online art auction. These fundraising events brought in £25,595.

Reserves policy

The Trustees aim to ensure the Charity can meet its ongoing running costs should incoming resources fall. Funds are set aside in the Charity's investment fund, which, as of 31 December 2024, totalled £164,731. This fund would cover approximately 6 months of the Charity's current running costs.

FUTURE PLANS

Key Medium-Term Priorities

We will continue to raise awareness of our charity and to raise funds to support it.

We aim to continue rescuing animals whose lives we can improve by bringing them on-site whilst also supporting those who struggle to care for them.

To maximise the value of donations to us by:

To continue to increase donations by defining and promoting our product offering for regular givers, expanding our supporter base and cementing strong relationships with donors.

To widen our reach within the community by offering new on-site activities for existing visitors and expanding these to more diverse groups.

To raise our profile, we will visit organisations to raise awareness of our work, increase our social media followers, and cement relationships with the local businesses in the area.
