ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
FAR has yet to fully get started on its objectives but in 2023 responded to 75 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.
