Our Mission is to offer sanctuary to ill-treated, neglected and unwanted animals, whilst promoting compassion and the humane treatment of animals.

Achievements and performance
Charitable activities
Since the foundation of the charity in July 2021, Pear Tree Farm Animal Sanctuary has grown both in size and amount of rescue and rehoming work undertaken.
Since the sanctuary began in December of 2018, we have rescued, rehabilitated and rehomed 7011 animals in need (current number at time of writing 19.11.22).
This financial year 21/22, our intake numbers are at 1240 individual animals, 1192 of which have been successful re-homes.
We work with a fluctuating team of around 6 volunteers at any given time, having had over 40 different individuals work with us since our formation. Over the past year we have continued and developed our working relationship with people-focused organisations, in particular Apogee Education - an alternative provisions organisation who work with disadvantaged young people offering education opportunities through volunteer work at the Sanctuary.
Financial review
Financial position
The trustees consider that the finances of the charity are satisfactory, however there is the agreement that more funding could mean better financial security for the charity, as well as greatly increase the opportunity for charitable activities.
Principal funding sources
Since the formation of the charity, the primary source of funding has been through supporter donations, plus some grants from other bodies.
Reserves policy
The charity is looking to establish a reserves policy which will have the objective of safeguarding the future of our work, however this is a long term goal and not achievable at present, as absolutely all funds received are needed immediately for charitable activities.
Future plans
The main aim for the charity over the coming financial period, is to increase income through developing fundraising and other income streams. To date, successful income streams include offering tours and refreshments to the public, which has brought financial support through donations, as well as furthered our charity aim of educating and spreading awareness on the issues of animal welfare. The welfare of the animals has to be balanced with this to ensure it is not compromised. Our current focus is to aim towards the recruitment of both Sanctuary Manager and Fundraising Manager roles, to assist with grant acquisition and to secure the sustainability and future of the charity.
