In this period, we ran an outreach project in North Goa and reached in excess of 400 animals requiring sterilisation as part of our Animal Birth Control (ABC) programme, rescuing and treatment for injuries, parasite control treatment, or requiring a course of medicine. We bought equipment and medicines to run the animal shelter in Agonda, South Goa, efficiently and to be able to reach as many injured animals as possible. We were able to assist over 300 animals in the period as part of the shelter’s ABC programme and other rescue and treatment cases. We worked very closely with the local communities to ensure all stray and beach dogs are being fed during the monsoon season when most of the businesses are closed and there is no one available to care for the animals and no one to report on any sicknesses or injuries. Through our monsoon feeding programme in North and South Goa we reached an estimated 200> dogs.

Brief statement of the
charity’s policy on reserves
Further financial review details
Youmay chooseto include
additional information, where
relevant about:
•
the charity’s principal
sources of funds (including
any fundraising);
•
how expenditure has
supported the key objectives
of the charity;
•
investment policy and
objectives including any
ethical investment policy
adopted.
The Trustees consider that, in future, the level of unrestricted reserves
should be approximately equivalent to the charity's organisational
expenditure for 3 to 6 months. The Trustees will also from time to time
apply unrestricted reserves to specifically designated funds when
considered appropriate. However, if necessary, access to the designated
funds will be permissible for the general running of the charity. Restricted
funds given to the charity for a specific, identifiable purpose will not be
accessible for the general running of the charity.
(Optional information)
As a newly registered charity we faced a number of initial challenges,
including delays with opening a bank account which was not open until
August 2022. In our first year we have started developing our fundraising
plans and managed to raise £7899.52 between the period August 2022
to 1 April 2023 through donations from private individuals.
