Dorset Mammal Group
Annual return 2024/5.
Charity remains much as last year, with the retirement of two Trustees who we are seeking to replace.
We are looking at policies which were deficient in last year's report but availabilty of trustees to deal with these problems is a constant nuisance because everyone leads such busy lives. Notwithstanding, we shall endeavour to overcome this, and Social Media and Risk assessments will be dealt with.
We are also constantly trying to engage members in activities providing outdoor events such as surveying for various mammals, such as dormice, providing opportunities to see these animals and learn about them which encourages conservation. We also submit data to government and local government. No money is received for this as all our members and trustees are volunteers.
Events include talks on topics affecting mammals for our members and also for other groups, schools, clubs etc when requested. We also continue to be involved in the conservation of hedgehogs forming local groups for 'hedgehog friendly' towns and villages which involve local people and often veterinary practices, who are often not as well informed as we would like. We give grants to these groups to help with the cost of medicaments.
We do not campaign as a group but will offer information to authorities if we feel something is unlawful or against the interests of wild mammals.
We seek guidance or advice on charity matters from the Charity Commission as necessary.
