The situation with unwanted rabbits this year has been dire, rescues are having to turn away hundreds of rabbits, mostly bought from breeders, pet shops and online, some regulation is required or the situation is going to get worse and worse (and not only rabbits but all pets). This year we have taken in rabbits from various situations, I.e. a) Strays - calls from members of the public who need our help to catch and temporarily hold rabbits, obtain vet treatment when required plus arrange vaccinations and neutering, when time allows, before placing with rescues b) Strays – calls from vets when members of the public have taken dumped rabbits in to them, vets don't have the facilities to keep strays **Summary of the main** for long so ask for our help. **activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to** c) Assist other multi animal rescues, who don't have the facilities to **these objects (include within** keep rabbits, when they are asked to take rabbits via the Police and **this section the statutory** Local Authorities because breeders have died or breeding facilities **declaration that trustees have** they close down due to terrible conditions. **had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity** d) Assist other rabbit rescues with dire cases when they are full and **Commission on public** we have taken in some cases of neglect when owners have contacted **benefit)** us. e) We helped in the rescue of some of the Meat Farm rabbits when the facility was closed down. f) We assist in finding rescue spaces for concerned members of the public who see rabbits advertised on selling sites that are being kept in dreadful conditions g) We have given advice to people via social media on how to care for their animals. We were, unfortunately, unable to attend any fairs etc. this year but are planning on doing so next year. Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** March **2012** **TAR** 3 You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. Section D Achievements and performance March **2012** **TAR** 4 ## Section D Achievements and performance During the year we have rescued and rehabilitated, then placed with **Summary of the main** Rescues and Sanctuaries we work with **achievements of the charity during the year** 57 rabbits As previously mentioned, this year has been difficult for us as most of the Rescues and Sanctuaries we work with, were and still are, full with waiting lists. We had to be very careful how many rabbits we rescued in case we were unable to place them. So, unfortunately, we had to be selective and take in the worst cases, some were in a shocking state with injuries, malnutrition, birth defects etc. We are very fortunate that we have several volunteer fosterers, who have cared for some of these rabbits until they could be placed with rescues / sanctuaries for rehoming. We also have a great network of volunteer transporters who helped move the rabbits to the Rescues. ## **Section E Financial review** March **2012** **TAR** 5 **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** It is very important we keep a reserve so we can make sure we have enough funds to cover vet fees, food, supplies and equipment so we can continue to help care for rabbits that still need our help, especially as donations are getting less due to the cost of living crisis, which means our reserves will decrease. **Details of any funds materially in deficit** None ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. ## **Section F Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s) Full name(s)** Hilary Joyce Luckett **Position (eg Secretary, Chair,** Treasurer **etc) Date** 06/01/24 March **2012** **TAR** 6 ||**One Bun At A Time**|**One Bun At A Time**|**One Bun At A Time**|**One Bun At A Time**|**One Bun At A Time**|**1191439**|**1191439**|**1191439**|**CC16a**| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||**For the period**
