## **BARLEY GREYHOUND SANCTUARY**
Registered Charity No. 1189765
## Annual Trustees Report
July 2024 – June 2025
The Barley Greyhound Sanctuary Trustees present their fifth annual report.
We currently have 12 Greyhounds looking for their forever homes and 8 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.
Between July 2024 and June 2025, we took 25 Greyhounds into our care and found loving homes for 20 during the same period. Both figures are sadly down significantly again compared to pre-covid numbers. The continued cost-of-living crisis understandably seems to be having a massive effect on adoptions. We also tend to specialise in Greyhounds who have more complex behavioural needs, and in turn this means that fewer homes are suitable to adopt from us. Responsible rehoming will always be our top priority. 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 179 Greyhounds forever homes. This year we also helped several stray lurchers who needed rescue and rehabilitation.
We said a sad farewell to our Trustee Hayley Wademan who decided to step back due to personal reasons. She has 1 ‘Barley’ Greyhound at home and will continue to support our work. We welcomed Neil Hancock as a new Trustee; he has been a volunteer with us for many years and currently has a ‘Barley’ Greyhound at home. We are sure he will be a huge asset to our team.
Our total outgoings for this period were £76,332; this is up on last year due to rising costs. Our total income being £52,964 which is significantly down on last year. 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.
We attended the East Anglian Game & Country Fair and other events 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 hope to hold an open weekend over the Easter period.
Going forward we will be helping more dogs that can’t be homed due to temperament issues to ensure they get to live out long and happy lives.
Trustees – Howard Keeling (Chair), David Creasey and Neil Hancock.
Independent examiner – Debbie Clegg.
