Achievements and Performance

SORP reference

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 The charity maintains a maximum
occupancy to ensure all animals receive
the best care and welfare provisions; in
this way we have helped animals who
would otherwise be euthanised or
remain in unsuitable homes without
appropriate care. We have been able to
help some carers keep their animals with
the welfare adjustments we have
advised, reducing the pressure on
rehoming centres. We take every
opportunity to educate the public and
carers in best practice rabbit welfare,
directing them to suitable sources of
information such as RWAF, and holding
education fund-raising events. We work
closely with rabbit rescue and rehoming
charities to find the most suitable places
for rabbits in need with animal
