Registered Charity Number: 1190249
Registered Address: 17 Manor Close, Stourport On Severn, Worcestershire DY13 9DR
1. Reference and Administrative Details of the Charity
The charity, Independent Setter Rescue and Rehome, is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO)
registered in England.
Trustees who served during the period were:
Mrs Lesley Ann Fordham
Mrs Dorothy Park
Mr David Grant
Mrs Geraldine Cove-Print
Mrs Clare Winship
Mrs Gillian Price-Thomas
The charity operates from its registered office in Worcestershire and carries out its activities across the UK, Ireland & Serbia
2. Objectives and Activities
The charity’s object is to relieve the suffering of Irish Setters, Gordon Setters, Irish Red & White Setters,
English Setters and their crossbreeds, particularly those in the UK or Republic of Ireland who are inneed of care and attention. This includes providing and maintaining rescue homes and facilities for their reception, care and treatment
The trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty under section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance.
During the year, the charity’s principal activities included:
The rescue and rehoming of setter breeds in need
Provision of foster placements and rehabilitation
Veterinary treatment and welfare support
Assessment and matching of suitable adopters
Ongoing support to adopters to ensure long-term placements
3. Achievements and Performance
During the reporting period, the charity successfully rehomed 35 dogs across the UK.
Several dogs required significant rehabilitation prior to rehoming, including behavioural support and medical treatment. This demonstrates the charity’s commitment not only to rehoming but to ensuring each dog is placed in a stable, suitable environment where their long-term welfare is secured.
In addition, 6 elderly dogs were supported under the charity’s Sugar Faced Scheme, which provides financial assistance for veterinary care. This initiative ensures that older dogs are not disadvantaged and are able to receive necessary treatment, improving both quality and length of life.
The charity also expanded its foster network, enabling it to respond more effectively to demand and take in dogs requiring urgent intervention.
Overall, the charity has delivered clear public benefit through improved animal welfare, reduced
suffering, and successful rehoming outcomes.
