**Commission on public**
**benefit)**|a) To promote humane behaviour towards rabbits by providing
appropriate care, protection, veterinary treatment & security for rabbits
which are in need of care and attention by reason of abandonment,
sickness, maltreatment, hoarding situations, poor circumstances or ill
usage, in particular, but not exclusively, by providing a holding service
and transportation to rabbit rescues who meet RWAF guidelines. b) To
educate the public in matters pertaining to animal welfare in general
and the prevention of cruelty and suffering to rabbits.| |---|---| ||The rabbit welfare crisis in England and Wales is, sadly, getting worse.
There is an even higher number of rabbits being given up to rescues for
varying reasons, some cases are genuine of course, i.e. those owners
who are suffering illness, death and a change in circumstances beyond
their control, but, add to those, are the poor rabbits that are simply
abandoned, left as strays and await a horrifying fate and the ever
increasing number of neglected.abused rabbits, it is becoming harder to
find rescues with spaces to help them all.
The cost of veterinary care is increasing as is the cost of food and hay,
equipment etc. Most rescues are running on a shoe string, donations are
dwindling as the public are finding it hard to find the extra money so there
is a drop in support in general to all kinds of rescues.
Still nothing is done to regulate the selling/breeding of rabbits by pet
shops and individuals despite calls from the large animal rescue
organisations. Without some sort of legislation this crisis will continue.
This year we have taken in rabbits from -
Members of the public who saw posts on local Facebook Groups of
rabbits in dire condition being given away
Vets when owners wish to rehome their rabbits due to health issues which
they either find it difficult to deal with themselves or are unable to meet
the costs involved.
Social services and animal welfare organisations, where rabbits were part
of seizures, i.e. left in properties alone or removed from unsanitary
conditions
Plus some strays where people have contacted us who were concerned
for their welfare
We managed to find spaces in rescues via our contacts for all but a
couple, these were not rehomeable and are in foster care.
We have also found spaces in rescues for people who have desperately
tried but were unable to themselves.
We again attended the National Rabbit Festival which was in Nottingham
this time, where we met many members of the rabbit community and
those interested in becoming first time rabbit guardians. These people
were from all over the UK, we were able to give them advice and
guidance and tell them why we do it and why there is such a problem
now.
Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity
Commission on public benefit| March **2012** **TAR** 3 ## **itional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. March **2012** **TAR** 4 Section D Achievements and performance **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** Rabbits we rescued were all vet checked , vaccinated and spayed or neutered when time allowed before transfer to a rescue for rehoming, apart from the couple who needed sanctuary care for the rest of their lives who are now being fostered and their care paid for by ourselves. We were able to donate to rescues where we were unable to arrange spays/neuters in time. Volunteer transporters are essential and we are very lucky we have people who are willing to give up their time to take rabbits to their rescue spaces. March **2012** **TAR** 5 ## **Section E Financial review** Sadly, as mentioned above, donations are getting less, probably because **Brief statement of the** of the cost of living crisis, we aren't yet, but there will come a time, when **charity’s policy on reserves** we will have to start dipping into our reserves if donations don't increase, at the moment we can manage on what funds we have as long as we don't take on many more, we need to make sure we can afford the extra costs involved and we can pass onto rescues straight away however, finding spaces is a challenge. We still have rabbits in foster care due to various health issues, so we are paying for their vet fees, food etc. We are very grateful to the people who continue to donate, sponsor and participate in our online raffles and auctions. **Details of any funds materially** None **in deficit** ## **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)** March **2012** **TAR** 6 **Full name(s)** Hilary Joyce Luckett |**Position (eg Secretary, Chair,**
