beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a whole.|Para 1.20|Having opened its doors in late 2023, in 2024
the charity focused on recruiting additional
volunteers, fine tuning its policies and
procedures to benefit our patients and
improving the facilities available.
During the course of 2024 the charity admitted
876 animals of which 205 were released back
into the wild and 80 went into longer term foster
to evaluate their potential for release in the
longer term.
Through investing in equipment, facilities and
an ongoing effort to train and educate our
volunteers the charity is aiming to increase
survival and release rates. While many animals
are sadly already very unwell when they come
to us all of them are at least given a chance.| |**Additional information (optional)**
