| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | NSCR's main objective is to promote humane behaviour towards all animals by providing appropriate care, protection, treatment and security, demonstrated by providing sanctuary for cats in need of care and attention through sickness, maltreatment, ill-usage or abandonment, and educate the public regarding animal welfare in general and prevention of cruelty and suffering among animals. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
The Charity Commission's guidance is always taken into consideration in the planning of our activities for the year. Our main activities undertaken for the Public Benefit are: The rescue of abandoned and stray cats and kittens and to assist with neutering and spaying in order to help limit the number of unwanted cats. To capture, neuter and advise on feral cats. To emphasise the benefits of neutering, vaccination, flea control and worming of all cats. To educate the public on a variety of topics such as homing FIV animals and neutering. To re-home to suitable, caring homes, after carrying out home and/or veterinary checks and assessment. We encourage people, over the age of 16, to join our team of volunteers. All are made welcome regardless of personal background, faith, gender or personal circumstances. This helps: To develop their self-confidence, social and practical skills |
| To experience working within a team. To care for animals To help with their own pets in various ways. Younger children, accompanied by a parent, are also made very welcome and they learn to handle animals with care and consideration by being encouraged to handle the cats and kittens under supervision. We also welcome people who are unable to keep a pet at home, to come and handle our cats. The animals benefit from the attention whilst awaiting their new, forever homes. Last year we were able to purchase our permanent property. This year we have spent a lot of time improving the property ensure the highest standard of care is given to the cats. |

| Contribution made by volunteers |
Para 1.38 | Our volunteers and fosterers are vital to the success of our charity. Our coordinator is skilled at getting the very best from each volunteer and will spot their differing strengths. There is a core group who are involved in the day to day feeding, cleaning and general care of the cats, overarched by a group of welfare supervisors who are trained and/or experienced with a range of different illnesses, issues and medications. These welfare supervisors are the ones who liaise with the co-ordinator and vets to |
ensure all cats and kittens are healthy. There are volunteers whose strengths lie in the more administrative side of the charity - media, answering telephones and messages on line and there is another group who dedicate their time to fundraising - manning stalls and promotional events around the area. They are all given advice and training by our very experienced Coordinator and officers, who are always on call. There is another group of volunteers who are responsible for the homing of the cats. Within this we have undertaking home checks, educating the public on the introduction and care of the cat they bring home and the paper work when homing the cats and kittens. We also have a group of volunteers who operate our social media – Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Here we are able to promote our rehoming service and continue to educate the public across the whole country on key topics such as the importance of spaying and neutering, FIV cats etc Another group of volunteers are part of our fundraising team. They often work alongside our social media teams to launch fundraisers and drum up support. Our transport team is now well established and has expanded. This team is made up of volunteers who are able to collect cats from outside our regular locations as we build relationships with rescues further afield. They are also helping with our vet runs – taking cats to and from the vets for routine procedures such as spaying and neutering. Alongside this we have a dedicated volunteer who is our health and safety officer. All volunteers are made aware of the objectives and aims in relation to the benefits to the public in accordance with the Charity Commission's Guidelines upon interview and induction. Other

| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | Our Charity continues to thrive, rescuing and rehoming unwanted /abandoned cats and kittens. Our homing figures have remained consistent. We are currently at roughly 60-80 cats and kittens a month. After purchasing our permanent property, we have spent a considerable amount of time upgrading and improving the premises. This has included a dedicated hospital isolation unit to minimise contamination, a separate washroom, upgrading the interior of the outdoor pens by tiling them to ensure they can be thoroughly cleaned with ease to constantly reduce any potential infections and disease and building a dedicated, well maintained garden for us to keep cats we cannot home in a safe and appropriate environment. We hosted our first open day at this new property. It was a huge success with hundreds of people in attendance. We intend to do it again in future years to ensure we are drumming up awareness and support. This is vital to our fundraising as we are still and will still be working on the improvements of the property. We are constantly working at improving our administration and communication throughout the Charity. There are co- ordinators for each part of the charity e.g Homing officer, foster co-ordinator etc. This has allowed us to rescue and home cats effectively and efficiently. Care is taken with the induction of new volunteers so that any reservations or problems are covered; helping them feel confident in the knowledge of what is expected and also not to be afraid to ask for any advice or help. We have also been part of the Duke of Edinburgh scheme. The co-Ordinator for this inducts the D of E students and promptly completes their reviews. These students have been able to develop a range of personal skills along with effectively working in cat rescue. The welfare of each animal continues, all cats are homed after being vet checked, vaccinated, flead and wormed with 4 weeks free PetPlan insurance. |
Our policy of microchipping each cat is now well established and is a success. We are continuing to spay and neutering from 5 months rather than 6 months. In doing this, we hope to continue to take all precautions against unwanted pregnancies, reducing the chances of spreading FIV etc
