OBJECTS, OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

FAR aims to alleviate acute suffering or risk for animals unable to get any help elsewhere by providing emergency vet care, transportation and boarding.

Current activities are largely confined to giving telephone advice relating to sick and injured birds and wildlife and contributing to vet bills for stray animals and wildlife unable to get vet care without our contribution.

The Charity has the following aims:

P a g e | 2

Short term: To develop our hands on activity and raise our profile so the public know they can call us for advice

Medium Term: To build our financial base and supporter base to allow us to develop our welfare activity

Long term: To build an extensive volunteer team to carry out hands on rescue activity

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

FAR has yet to fully get started on its objectives but over its initial period of registration has responded to 220 calls for advice relating to sick and injured strays and wildlife. Its team of trustees are experienced hands-on animal welfare experts so understand the complexities of the rescue environment so can give knowledgeable and safe advice to callers.

The trustees have reviewed the outcomes and achievements of our objectives and activities for the year, to ensure they remain focused on our charitable aims and continue to deliver benefits to the public. We have complied with the duty under the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Commission.

FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RESERVES POLICY

The charity has unrestricted reserves of £962 and aims to develop its supporter base and animal welfare work during the coming years to become a fully active animal rescue organisation.

FAR does not have any commercial participator or professional fundraiser agreements in place.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

The development of the Charity has been severely restricted by the COVID-19 pandemic which continues to impact on operations. The trustees will endeavour to grow the charity as soon as practical.
