Achievements and perfomiance
Summary ofthe main
achievements of the charity
during the year
We We fortunate to receive grant funding from both the Govemment
and County Council Covid Communty Support funds which enabled us to
continue our work.
Dunng 2021 we managed to rescue, settle, and place around 40 dogs
into long temi foster or adoption.
The posttive feedback we have had from these people has reinforced our
belief in the need for our activities although we will only be able to scratch
the surface of the loneliness and isolation experienced by people in our
communty". loneliness is very much the hidden disease.
Following the lrfting of the Covtd restrictions we have started to organise
some fundraising activities and continue to apply for grant funding
although this is tEcoming increasing drfficult due to demand on the
furKJers.
We do have a reserve fund policy and have hovered very close to the
figure at times.

our thoughts regarding taking on any more potential companions.
