BARLEY GREYHOUND SANCTUARY
Registered Charity No. 1189765
Annual Trustees Report
July 2023 – June 2024
The Barley Greyhound Sanctuary Trustees present their fourth annual report.
We currently have 20 Greyhounds looking for their forever homes and 7 sponsor Greyhounds who live with us permanently at the sanctuary due to medical / temperament problems that mean they can’t be homed but can live long and happy lives in the safety of Barley. We very sadly lost sponsor dog, Ted, to illness. He is remembered with a rose and memory stone in our memorial garden.
Between July 2023 and June 2024, we took 31 Greyhounds into our care and found loving homes for 28 during the same period. Both figures are sadly down significantly compared to pre-covid numbers. The continued cost-of-living crisis understandably seems to be having a massive effect on adoptions. We are as always still incredibly proud that we’ve been able to help the number of dogs that we have this year and hope that adoption enquiries will rise again in the coming years. Since Barley Greyhound Sanctuary became an independent Charity, we have found 159 Greyhounds forever homes.
We said a sad farewell to our Trustee Anne Gransby who has moved away from our area. She has 1 ‘Barley’ Greyhound at home and will continue to support our work and help at events. We welcomed David Creasey as a new Trustee, he has been a volunteer with us for many years and currently has 2 ‘Barley’ Greyhounds at home. We are sure he will be a huge asset to our team.
Our total outgoings for this period were £66,543, this is down slightly on last year with our total income being £93,800 which is up on last year due to a generous legacy. Going forward we will still rely heavily on donations to be able to continue the work that we do to help Greyhounds retiring from the racing industry, strays and those that find themselves in need of rescue.
We continue to suggest a guideline donation of £200 from adopters and this helps towards the cost of the items and homing pack that each of our dogs go home with. We are fortunate that many adopters give generously with their adoption donations. We are registered with Easy Fundraising and Give as you live.
In January we were lucky to become charity partners with the Pets Foundation again, so we have been in our local Pets at Home store raising awareness throughout the year. Their support really is such a massive help to us. We attended the East Anglian Game & Country Fair and the Animal Aid festival to raise awareness to Greyhounds. This year we hope to get out to more events to help more Greyhounds find their forever homes, raise awareness to Greyhounds and what fantastic pets they make and to help increase our income. We are already booked to attend the East Anglian Game & Country Fair again in April.
Trustees – Hayley Wademan (Chair), Howard Keeling and David Creasey. Independent examiner – Debbie Clegg.
