• Providing and coordinating volunteers to support the work of animal welfare internationally.
• Facilitating spay/neutering programmes.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
As a newly registered organisation, the trustees have been focusing on the following: Researched the guidance issued by the charities commission on public benefit. Trustees familiarised themselves with guidance and documentation. Roles and responsibilities of the trustees clearly outlined. Systems for Human Resource Management in place Social media platforms and protocols for in place for posting in the public domain. Systems for the day-to-day running of the organisation (on-going) Organisation’s bank account now open. Built new foster/adoption kennels at the trustee’s home in India (at NO expense to the organisation). These are for dogs/cats that will be fostered by us and for dogs that are no longer able to live in the communities (adopted by us permanently). Facilitate a feeding programme in Goa, India for approximately 60+ dogs that are homeless (street dogs). This prevents the dogs from going hungry and entering communities looking for food, resulting in residents complaining and causing harm to the dogs. All dogs on our feeding programme have been sterilised by us. Their welfare is monitored, and any medical care is provided by us (to include anti-rabies vaccinations, 9- 1 vaccinations). Coordinated spay/neutering for the street dogs/cats. These animals are also vaccinated against rabies, resulting in a safer place for the public. Birth control also prevents the area being overpopulated with animals, often leading to residents complaining or harming the animals. This also forms a basis for our educational material for our online YouTube channel by filming real life footage, edited, and released into the public domain.
Prepared and developed educational material for online purposes and face-to-face programmes in India and in the UK/international. The idea of these programmes are to educate the public on multi aspects of animal welfare in a number of different languages.
Responded to enquires in relation to animal welfare in the UK and India to help animals in need.
