Governance and management The charity is operated under the rules of its constitution adopted 8th February 2024. Polential trustees are approached when they show a particularly invested interest in the charity's development and ongoing growth. They are then voted in at a trustee meeting by the standing trustees. Objectives and activities The object of the CIO is: for the public benefit in the East Midlands area, to promote humane behaviour towards animals by providing appropriate care, protection, treatment. rehabilitation and security for animals which are in need of care. in particular but not exclusively cats and injured or ill wildlife and to educate the public in matters pertaining to animal welfare in general and the prevention of cruelty and suffering among animals. Public benefit ststement The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, 'Charities and Public Benefit,. Feline and Wildlife Rescue Nottingham Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit Feline and Wildlife Rescue Nottingham rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes unwanted and stray cats, and rescues and rehabilitates injured or ill wildlife in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. If cats are too elderly for adoption or too ill to be rehomed, they will stay within the rescue as long term foster cats. The rescue tracks stray, abandoned, and unwanted cats through our Facebook and Instagram pages and alerts from the public. We also liaise with other rescues on our Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire borders to take in cats they do not have the rescue space for. Summary of the main achievements during the period During this financial year we rehomed 147 cats through adoptions and rehabilitated 51 wildlife patients. This was our most successful year since the rescue began back in 2019 in terms of rehoming cats. Wildlife rehabilitations were down on prior years due to a reduction in the number of rehabbers. We successfully paid all our veterinary bills in full and on time due to ongoing adoptions and donations. We were awarded 'Charity of the Month, by Zooplus in September 2024, which resulted in a significant donation of cat food, litter, treats, toys and other miscellaneous items. We also received a large donation from Omlet of beds and scratch posts. Several of our volunteers also carried out fundraising activities, mainly tombola stalls, to raise further funds towards veterinary bills. Support in kind Our supporters are very dedicated to the rescue with some contributing to vets bills in addition to regular donations. We heavily rely on these donations to carry out work. Financial review Even though our financial position at the end of the accounting period was in surplus. the funds would have already been allocated to vets, bills. The amount (£4,949) was basically our reserve amount. In future years we would like to see a surplus on top of the reserve at the year end. This would require more donations, adoptions. and some grants. We were approved for Gift Aid during the period which helped our cashflow. We aim to apply for grants in the coming year to ensure we build up a reserve of funds to allow us to continue to support cats in our care. We will also apply to be a partner with the Pets at Home Foundation for the upcoming year to boost fundraising and support. Financial risks The major risk we face is not being able to pay our vets bills if donations were to suddenly stop or adoptions slow down. We would have to negotiate with our vets to make payments in instalments rather than paying entire invoices. Feline and Wildlife Rescue Nottingham The charity's policy on reserrfes The current Chair has instigated a reserves policy of £1-3k due for monthly vets, bills. The reserves policy is reviewed monthly as our cash flow is unpredictable with adoptions and donations. We need reserves to ensure we can continue to provide a growing service to stray and surrendered cats to enable them to make a full recovery before they go on to their forever homes where they will be cared for.
