Trustees Report for the year 14 August 2020 to 13 August 2021

New Charity

On the 14 August 2020 Woodlands Animal Sanctuary charity number 1190858 was set up as a charitable incorporated organisation.

The new charity was designed to take over from where Woodlands Animal Sanctuary charity number 1108626, the unincorporated charity, left off and was part of the updating and modernisation of the Charity and its work.

As part of the new Charity’s incorporation, it’s up to date governance was agreed upon by the Trustees and its policies drafted, discussed, and approved. The aim was to have the new charity ready to take over from the old charity on the 1 March 2021.

On the 1 March 2021, the old charity’s assets were transferred to the new charity and all the staff were transferred to the employ of the new charity and all suppliers notified of the change.

The trustees of the old charity became trustees of the new charity and its reputation as a well-run Sanctuary was maintained as a result of the seamless transfer. The Charity also retained its many loyal and generous volunteers, supporters, sponsors, and staff and so the Charity has been able to continue to rescue, care for and re-home animals.

Summary

Since the incorporation of the Charity, the trustees and the fund raising committee have had to be more innovative in how we raise funds and how we reach out to our community and fortunately the Charity’s good name has helped ensure that people know who we are and what we do and we have been able to reach out to them electronically, rather than see them in person during the pandemic, and they have provided funds so that we can continue our life saving work.

During the pandemic, the demand for companion animals was extremely high as people craved company to make up for the human company that was restricted either by regulations or because people were shielding. We were able to satisfy the demand and in the process were able to increase the number of animals that we could help. Although this depleted our reserves, we have made a great many more supporters and friends, who hopefully will help us more in the future.

Volunteers and Supporters

Without the support the Charity receives from its volunteers, it would not be the success it is. They generously give their time to care for the animals and support the Charity’s fund-raising efforts by carrying out street collections, holding fundraising events, sponsoring the animals’ care, and supporting our lottery, to name just a few.

A group of our volunteers have set up a fund-raising committee to organise events and collections and broaden the appeal of the Charity, which had added to the events already run by the Trustees.

We are always surprised and delighted by the generosity of members of the public who help support us financially with donations and with the items they donate which we sell to raise funds, as well as giving us prizes for our raffles and we would like to give our heartfelt thanks to them all.

When we were unable to hold events or welcome people to our site we had to think of new ways to connect with our supporters and one way that proved successful was to set up an Amazon Wish List of items that the Sanctuary needed, and our supporters opened their hearts and wallets/purses and bought them for us. It is the experience of the Charity that people like to buy specific items, rather than just providing money and when they visit they will see the items being put to effective use.

This had an added benefit to the Charity as when shopping through Amazon Smile they could raise even more money for us, without costing our supporters any more than they were going to spend. Furthermore, when they shopped for themselves using this service their shopping generated further funds for us.

Staff

The Charity’s staff have, as always, provided a first-class service to the animals in our care 365 days a year, regardless of the weather and their dedication shows in the well cared for, happy and welladjusted animals we are able to re-home and without whom the Charity would not be able to function.

The staff have also helped with the new fund-raising activity of Tea and Tours when they act as tour guides and explain how the Sanctuary functions and how we care for the different animals in our care.

Vets

We greatly appreciate the continuing support we get from our vets, which provide surgical and emergency care, and which supplements the work of our own terrific Vet, all of which ensures the animals in our care receive the best treatment available.

Here are a few of our rescue stories from this year.

Ariel

Ariel came to us in a vegetable tray giving birth and not in a good state of health. She gave birth to her kittens and then had to undergo an emergency operation. Sadly, she was not strong enough to cope and passed away soon after the surgery.

All the kittens went to our dedicated team of hand rearing volunteers and survived despite their traumatic introduction to the world.

If only Ariel had been neutered, she may have survived. It appeared that she had had numerous litters before.

Misty

Misty was our Christmas miracle. She was found as a stray in a garage. She was microchipped, so we were hopeful of finding her owner and reuniting her. However, on making enquiries, it transpired that her owners had moved away over a year ago and abandoned her. Being 16 years old and exceptionally underweight we were not hopeful for her prospects, but after tests at the vets, her results were much more positive than we could have hoped for expected and once we settled her tummy and stopped the diarrhoea she began to put weight. Misty was a sweet cat, and we were able to find her a good new home.

At the Sanctuary we pride ourselves in providing love and care to all animals who come to us, and we will always do the best we can for them, whatever the circumstances.

Multi Pet Home Rescues

This year we were called to attend a number of multi pet homes where the Owners had become overwhelmed with cats. One example was where we rescued over twenty-five cats admitted from two multi-cat households and there were a further fifteen still to be rescued. It took our Vet 4 hours to work through all the cats and assess their health. Sadly, two were given eternal sleep; one who had a huge tumour in her head and the other who was so starved her body could no longer cope.

It took a huge team effort to help these animals, and our grateful thanks go out to the Vet, staff, and volunteers, Jaspers Cats, Alley cats and Vets4Pets at the Capitol Centre in Preston for the parts they played in these rescues. The event was publicised to raise awareness of the increasing problem and to raise funds to begin to cover the cost.

We developed a scheme for dealing with multi-cat households, as there is clearly a need for the service, whereby we partner up with our fellow rescue organisations and share out the rescued cats, so as not to overwhelm one organisation. In one such case we partnered with Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, and they came and collected ten cats from us.

As a result, we can achieve a much greater impact as a sector, rather than working independently. This has also allowed us to share expertise and experiences, which we feel is such an important aspect of the work we do.

Every year we encounter numerous cases like these and offer our help free of charge to rescuing animals in need. These take a toll on our funds and the mental well-being of our staff, so we celebrate every life saved and invariably there are tears when they go to their new homes.

Rescuing and rehoming cats continues to be our main focus. Before a cat leaves our care we ensure that it has been vet checked, vaccinated, neutered where appropriate, micro-chipped and is up to date with flea and worming treatments. This all comes at a cost, which we seek to defray by asking for a donation for every cat we rehome. This invariably does not cover the cost of the treatment, but we take pride in our cats going to good homes in good health.

We conduct detailed home checks to ensure our cats are going to loving safe homes and this also gives the fosterer an opportunity to ask as many questions as they like so that they are comfortable about taking on such a precious creature.

Covid Lockdowns

When the lockdown was imposed, the Sanctuary was closed to all but staff, and the strictest hygiene rules were put in place. We would like to thank the staff of the Sanctuary for all their hard work during those tough times.

During the lockdown, DEFRA issued guidance as to the rehoming of animals and we adjusted our rehoming process to comply. We continued to match up animals with new homes online which proved successful, and demand increased as the lockdown continued.

As the guidance eased, volunteers were recruited to deliver cats to their new homes as members of the public were still not allowed to visit the Sanctuary site. The volunteers reported the warm welcome they received when they delivered their precious bundles to fosterers’ doorsteps.

Throughout this period, plans were developed so that when the lockdown ended we could re-open the site to volunteers and members of the public alike and a full programme of events were planned and developed ready for the relaxation of restrictions.

We also quickly realised that we would have to change the focus of our fundraising to survive and reached out to our supporters, sponsors, and friends in our time of need and they did not disappoint us.

Residents

Certain cats that we rescue, after being checked by our Vet are deemed unsuitable for re-homing, due to age, infirmity or because they require long-term medical treatment. These cats remain with the Sanctuary for the rest of their lives and are lovingly cared for in their own purpose-built accommodation and outside area.

The decision to make a cat a resident, is taken very carefully, as it needs to suit the cat’s welfare and comes with financial implications for the Sanctuary.

We invite members of the public to sponsor them, and this has proved popular, and we encourage sponsors to visit the cats they sponsor.

Hedgehogs

Hedgehogs are another area of focus for us, as they are in rapid decline in the wild. We spend a lot of time on our social media platforms and our website seeking to educate members of the public as to ways they can help and support the hedgehog population.

Members of staff are often invited to give talks or be interviewed on the television or radio to talk about all things Hedgehog.

Hog admittances tend to come in waves, and we often get days where we can admit large numbers. Last year we beat our own record and admitted twenty in a day! Depending on their age and health, a young hog’s care can cost us approximately £150 and so to take in twenty in one day is quite labour intensive and a big financial commitment.

Hogs require a high level of specialist care, so it is imperative to us that our staff are qualified to provide this. We send members of the team on hedgehog first aid, care, and rehabilitation courses.

Last year we converted a section of the stables into a purpose-built Hog House. It was set up with all the equipment and enclosures required for hedgehogs to keep them safe, warm, and well fed until the weather is suitable and we can release them back into the wild.

During the year, a volunteer donated a purpose-built table for the Hog House which has improved the facilities further.

In Spring we issued an educational post on how to identify worms under a microscope to ensure that hogs are treated for the right complaint.

To give an example of some of the hogs we admit, later in the year we admitted a hog with maggots eating away at him and a lump of tarmac stuck to his belly. After a trip to the vets, antibiotics, pain relief, good food and regular monitoring he was returned to the wild fit and healthy.

Guinea Pigs

Guinea pigs are another group of animals that we rescue, care for and re-home. Guinea pigs are very sociable, so we take great care to ensure that they do not live alone. We only re-home guineas pigs in pairs or threes, unless they are going to be integrating into an existing herd. In that case, we ensure that the new guinea pig is introduced to one of its new family in a neutral setting and reserve the right to refuse to re-home if they do not get on.

Our Birds

We have a number of ducks and chickens at the Sanctuary who provide us with eggs that we use to bake cakes for our Tea and Tours events.

Our Horses, Ponies, Donkeys, Goats and Sheep

Our animals are all now pretty used to people and enjoy the interaction, particularly, if it involves being fed treats. Bert and Ernie love their trips to out to places such as Pets at Home or Tesco’s to meet members of the public.

Educational visits and talks

It has always been an aim of the Charity to educate members of the public as to how to care for and appreciate animals. In the past we have attended many schools and other organisations as part of our outreach programme. We have provided talks, demonstrations, and animal visits to educate adults and children from all walks of life, about how to care for pets and wildlife in their area.

Unfortunately, all this was curtailed by the Covid pandemic, but we still wanted to reach out to members of the public so developed an outreach programme using social media; putting out regular briefings about how to spot a hedgehog in need of care and cat related articles.

We were recognised by The National Lottery for our Education Programme who provided us with a grant this year to promote our work for the community and in the community.

Sponsorship Schemes

We run several sponsorship schemes, for monthly or one-off payments. The sponsor receives regular updates and photographs of their chosen animal. The number of sponsors has steadily been increasing and we now stand at more than around one hundred, but more sponsors are always welcome.

Regular donations really help us manage our finances and cover the cost of the care for the animals who seek sanctuary here.

Publicity and Nominations

This year in the PetPlan and ADCH Animal Charity Awards we were nominated in each of the three categories for Charities: Animal Charity Team of the year, Animal Charity Employee of the year and Animal Charity Volunteer of the year.

We were also nominated by the public for the Cat Tree Group Awards 2021.

Rachel was interviewed on the radio about caring for cats and the Charity was featured on BBC North West to promote Hedgehog awareness week.

Online presence

During the lockdown, the Charity increased its presence online. We sent most of the newsletters electronically, providing links on our website where donations could be made, advertised animals in need of re-homing on our website and linked helpful articles on how to care for animals.

Our website was refreshed with innovative ideas and information and links added to our online shop which sells all the essentials for animals and some treats as well as our new line of branded merchandise.

On a regular basis, we also issued email updates and information about the animals in our care and how to look after them and how they could be sponsored and be provided with updates about the animals using those pens.

Tea and Tours

When the restrictions were lifted, and we were allowed visitors back on site, Tea and Tours events were introduced to allow small groups to attend the Sanctuary in the afternoon, when they were provided with a VIP tour around the site by knowledgeable members of staff. These groups were given hands-on access to our animals together with an educational talk in each area, on the husbandry of the animals in question. This was followed by afternoon tea and cakes. These tours proved exceedingly popular as were the cakes and the events were sold out within days of being announced.

Baby and Toddler mornings

Following on from our Tea and Tours success, it became apparent that parents would like to bring their younger children to the Sanctuary to see and interact with the animals, so separate events were arranged for parents and young children to attend. These again proved popular and more will be arranged in the future.

Animal Carer for the Day experience

Following the success of Tea and Tours and Baby and Toddler mornings we became aware that people would like one-to-one visits to care for our animals and learn more about them and their welfare, so we launched, this programme where for a fee we host a member of the public for the day and they can work with our animals and learn all about them, which is a great way for a person thinking of having a pet to gain hands on experience.

Buy a Bale Scheme

The Sanctuary team have a good relationship with a local farmer and in exchange for helping him to bring in bales from his fields, he provides us with a number of bales at a reduced cost for our animals for the winter.

We fund this by our Buy a Bale Scheme whereby members of the public are invited to buy a bale or more for us. This has proved popular as people seem to like to know what specific items their donations are being spent on.

Clothes Bank collections

As people were spending more time at home, they had time to sort out their wardrobes of clothing. To avoid this resource being wasted, or worse binned, the Charity set up a clothes bank to collect clothes for recycling and in between the lockdowns had collection days where clothes were dropped off to us and we also sold Charity merchandise. People delivered clothes to us by the car load and on the first occasion we collected two large van loads, which together with the sale of merchandise, provided us with some welcome funds.

These events have now become a regular event in our calendar, and it is always lovely to hear the stories behind the clear outs and get an insight into our supporters’ lives.

We continue to arrange regular clothes collections but have added an extra element of convenience by installing a clothes collection container on site, so that clothes can be delivered to us 7 days a week during Sanctuary opening hours.

Fund raising events

Most on-site fundraising events were suspended for a large part of the year to ensure the Sanctuary site remained bio-secure and our staff were available to care for our animals in a safe environment.

As the restrictions were eased the planning that had taken place earlier in the year was implemented and the Trustees and volunteers mobilised and started funding raising again.

The events included: -

Merlin, our Shetland pony, being sponsored to undertake a 10k challenge, where he walked 1km per day for 10 days. Sounds easy until you know how stubborn he can be!

Attended Mere Sands Wildlife Reserve’s Open Gardens Day selling cakes. We raised £432.41

Holding a Craft fair at Standish Social Club. The Volunteers made the craft items sold as well as the cakes that were available to buy.

Organising a Fun Dog show at Thompson House Equestrian Centre in Chorley. This proved extremely popular. People love their dogs and were pleased to be out and about with them. The event raised over £1000.

We spent the day at Heskin Hall with Bert & Ernie, a few of our adorable goats, for a Pirate Day.

The trustees went out collecting on the streets of Southport, Chorley, and Ormskirk.

Grand Open Day

For regular readers of these reports, you may recall that we were awarded a large grant from Pets at Home Foundation to help us fund the building of our dream brand-new state of the art cattery to replace our very old, tired, and out-dated one.

Due to Covid restrictions we had to put the Grand Opening on hold until September 2021, to show the new cattery off to members of the public.

Lottery

We have teamed up with a lottery provider to give people the chance of supporting the Charity and winning a prize of £25,000 on a weekly basis. The number of subscriptions continues to increase, and we continue to promote the scheme.

Legacies

In previous years we have received legacies which we have put to good use by improving our facilities, so that we can look after even more animals.

Hopefully more will be received in the future, not least as a result of the Charity Will Month event.

Raising our Profile

We are constantly trying to raise the Charity’s profile within our local area and further afield and this seems to be reaping rewards.

Local businesses are supporting us with their own fundraising events as well as inviting us to attend their events at local venues and to all of those contributors we give them our grateful thanks.

Future

Our aim for the coming year is to ensure we are using our first-class facilities to their full capacity, providing the best possible care we can for the animals who we rescue, care for, and rehome and to continue to grow and develop our knowledge and our education and outreach programme.

To do this we need to ensure we have a stable financial position to fund our activities and we are always looking for new and novel ways to raise more funds.
