## **Not Quite Wired Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 31st December 2023** 

The Trustees present their annual report for the year ended 31st December 2023. The Trustees listed on page 2 served for the whole of 2023 and were the Charity Trustees on the date the report was approved. 

The Trustees have read the Commission’s Public Benefit requirement statutory guidance, and have had regard to this when running the charity. 

## **Aims and Objectives** 

The Charity aims to promote humane behaviour towards dogs (particularly wirehaired fox terriers) in the uk by providing appropriate care, protection, treatment and security for dogs which are in need of care and attention by reason of sickness, maltreatment, poor circumstances or ill usage - re-homing such dogs where possible. As well as the provision of financial assistance to support the care and treatment of dogs belonging to persons resident in the uk who are unable to meet the costs of such care and treatment. 

## **Review of the Years Activities and Future Developments** 

This is the first report of the charity Not Quite Wired and covers the nine month period since it’s formation on 31st March 2023.  During this time the Trustees have continued to develop the working practices of the Charity and have started planning future developments including registering with HMRC to allow gift aid to be collected on qualifying donations and developing the Charity's website. 

During the period the Charity’s social media community has continued to grow and now numbers 735 followers (718 in the UK, 13 in USA, and 4 in the EU), which not only ensures possible future foster and permanent homes for Wire Haired Fox Terriers that come into our care can be identified but also expands the knowledge base of experienced dog owners for the benefit of everyone involved. 

Also in 2023 advice was given to a number of owners who were considering rehoming their pet which resulted in the dog remaining in their care, while one dog was successfully found a permanent new home. 

In 2023 funds were raised in a number of ways including one-off donations, fee for rehomed dog, through the Easy Fundraising app where supporters purchase from various retailers result in a donation, a collection at a supporters funeral, and a Christmas raffle.
