The Charity raises funds from Dog Shows,

Para 1.47

of funds (including any fundraising)		Cofee Mornings, Events, Street & Store Collectons, Donatons and grant applicatons, alongwith income from rehomingdonatons.
Investment policy and objectves including any social investment policy adopted	Para 1.46
A descripton of the principal risks facing the charity	Para 1.46	We currently have just aound 40 dogs in our care awaitng their forever home and in the past year, we successfully rehomed 56 dogs. However, in ‘normal tmes’, this fgure would usually be in the region of 110-120 and so our kennelling costs are stll elevated. There have been several underlying reasons causing this fall, including the extraordinary and unprecedented rise in running costs throughout the UK. Furthermore, due to the cost-of-living crisis, owners are having to give up their dogs due to not being able to aford their upkeep, coupled with a decline in the level of people seeking to adopt a dog when compared with the ‘ordinary tmes’. We will always remain totally commited to saving dogs and, with the dedicaton of our volunteers, we are working extremely hard, pulling out all the stops to fundraise as much as we can, in order that we can keep being there for our incredible hounds.
