Chair’s Report
Dear Member,
I wish to thank everyone who has supported us during a very difficult post Covid financial year. The legacies and donations have enabled the Branch to continue to work locally caring for and rehoming cats, supporting the dogs of the homeless with food and accessories and, when financially able, helping with veterinary fees. The loss of so many volunteers from the Fundraising team has meant that we have been unable to put on fundraising events. We hope to rectify this next year. ANY OFFERS?!
Sadly we lost Morag Martin, one of our long serving members. Morag, besides serving as a Trustee for many years, was Manager of our Charity shop for over seven years. A wonderful lady, very much missed.
The good news is that a new Isolation block was built and came into use in December giving much needed accommodation for sick cats.
The Cattery Manager and the Staff, supported by a loyal group of volunteers, have adapted well to a post Covid way of working and developed an appointment viewing and homing system for the public which proved satisfactory despite the extra time taken to complete the paperwork. We wish to thank them all for their adaptability and loyal support.
At last our Charity Shop was able to function full time and the Manager Lorna Read, with Jo Bilby working part time, have been able to increase the viability of the shop with the support of our loyal volunteers and all their hard work is appreciated. In August Robin Snook was appointed Fundraising Co-ordinator with the added task of increasing our volunteer base, and we welcome him to the team.
The extra work now needed to be done by Charities has increased the workload of Jo Bilby, our Finance and Administrative Officer, and we appreciate how well we are served by her and thank her for her expertise.
No Charity would succeed without the work done in the background by the Trustees, and we are fortunate in having a strong, hardworking group of people.

Inspector’s Report
It gives me great pleasure to present to you the annual report for the Sussex Inspectorate for 2022.
Another challenging year with the effects of the war in Ukraine, avian flu, as well as the effects of climate change which is affecting all of our lives. Due to Avian flu, the closure of Mallydams Wildlife Hospital has hampered our efforts to treat the wildlife as we would like to. We had to rely on Folly Wildlife near Tunbridge Wells, Brent lodge near Chichester and of course local vets in the area. Also due to the nature of avian flu we had to be very careful when collecting wild birds that they did not have the disease to protect other wildlife, and if they showed signs of avian flu we were forced to put them to sleep.
The cost of living has also seen an increase in the requested help from members of the public who are struggling with living costs. We have been able to utilise various funds from branches and the regional Inspectorate Welfare Fund. We have been able to help many people over the years which has been greatly appreciated by most. The main thing is it has helped the lives of the pets they have and improved their quality of life, as well as the owners’.
I wish to thank the East Sussex and West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service for the many occasions that they have helped with rescues of animals that have got themselves trapped or in difficulty and we have needed their equipment and manpower to resolve the situation. David Buck, our go to solicitor, has and continues to provide us with his excellent presentation of evidence in our cases at court.
Of course we have not forgotten the RSPCA animal centres that take in our animals, care for them and eventually rehome them. Our sincere thanks to the Branch catteries and kennels that board, care for and rehome our animals, usually at very short notice and at the most inconvenient times, and to the experts who care for our sick and injured wildlife until they have been rehabilitated and are able to be released back into the wild.
I would also like to thank the Regional Board and all the Local Branches for having the trust and confidence in field officers in developing the Inspectorate Welfare Fund for the region. This has been a brilliant tool for officers to really help those who need that bit of support in difficult times. There have been so many incidents where we were able to help senior citizens get their animal to the vet and assist, if not pay for the treatment, especially in these hard times. The appreciation for our help brings home the reason why we do what we do.

This is Theo and Fidget. Inspector Ballard became involved with them as their owner had passed away. Unfortunately the pair of them had multiple health issues including chronic skin problems and required urgent veterinary treatment. Theo, the male dog also had a very large growth on his behind and Fidget also had some lumps that needed attention. Both dogs are aged 9 years old, so in their later years, and are also brother and sister from the same litter.
What followed was a huge team effort. ARO Thomas and I got the dogs promptly to the vet where they received veterinary treatment using the Inspectorate Welfare Scheme. The following day they were both collected by Inspector Kirby and Inspector Bryant who transferred them to The RSPCA Brighton Branch at Patcham. Inspector Ballard was pleased to report that following a recent call with the branch both dogs are doing well.
Finally, on behalf of everyone in the Sussex group, a big thank you to all of the Sussex Branches members and volunteers for making us feel so welcome at your meetings and for all the difficult and invaluable work you have done throughout 2022. Without you dedicating your time and efforts we would not be able to achieve all that we do.
Thank you all.

Cattery Report
The centre had a busy year, an amazing total of 131 cats, found forever homes. We still reached out for new cattery volunteers to help with the different routines, including the favourite, cat socialising. We also recruited 2 new members of staff to our team. This increase helped greatly with the day to day running of the cattery, with sickness (Covid still present) and holiday cover, as well as the cattery load.
Cat adoptions continued to be done by virtual procedures, using, emails, telephones and videos. Technology definitely seemed the way forward. Our appointment only system worked well for visiting cat adopters, and on a plus side, was far less stressful for the cats compared with an open centre policy. We have continued using this procedure to date.
We enjoyed (not sure if this is the right word) a sense of more freedom as we were told that we needed to “Live with Covid”. Changing times yet again, compared with last year’s government regulations and restrictions.
In May we started to re look at our plans for an Isolation block, much needed for the welfare of cats needing extra care and medical treatments. The builders commenced work on the base in June and continued the build until the end of the year. Needless to say the build didn’t go without its problems and disruption.
Due to noise levels some cats had to be moved away from the building nearest the works. Consequently the main cattery became converted expertly by the builders into half, one end with isolation and the other the main cattery cats.

It also became one of the busiest months for intake as we soon became full. Kittens found in a cardboard box by the side of the road and pregnant mums giving birth added to the load. The staff worked tirelessly and took it all in their stride during a challenging time. For this I thank you all. On a positive note, Isolation was finally completed towards the end of December 2022/January 2023. This has now come into its own, and is being used by the cats needing a quiet place to recuperate.
What a hot summer we experienced in July/August maybe this is the sign of the times to come with our weather patterns changing.
Keeping the cats cool was of course our main priority. We purchased cool mats for them to lie on, some were kindly donated to us from our Amazon Wish List. Wet towels were also used. Much needed fans were also bought, and just the case of moving some cats to cooler areas if possible.
The adoptions also became quiet with summer holidays and people thinking twice before taking on a pet due to expense and the cost of living. On the other hand the telephones and our social media was busy with people wanting to rehome their cats, sadly for all sorts of reasons; financial difficulties having a knock on effect, downsizing their property, renting and not allowed pets, illness in the home so unable to look after a pet, unexpected vet bills, to name a few. Depending on the circumstances if we can help people by giving them donated cat food so they can keep their animals, we will work towards this practice.
The Inspectorate kept us busy with animal welfare concerns, which of course we always prioritise. We helped Finsbury Park Hospital (RSPCA) as it became very busy and needed to free up spaces for sick animals. Our neighbouring branch Kent North West sent us other cats needing homes and also Mid Sussex & Eastbourne.
We unfortunately did not hold any events in 2022 due to losing our fundraising volunteers, mainly over the lockdown period.
We still continue to need supporters to help us raise funds. Fundraising is a fun way of working in a team and generating much needed funds for the branch whilst meeting like-minded people and helping promote the work we do.
We also had so many kind people send donations throughout the year to support us, either by cheque, cash or sponsoring a Cat Pod.
Sponsoring a Cat Pod is a nice way to support the cattery as all sponsor money goes towards providing a temporary home for the cats that have been entrusted in our care. The sponsor’s name and a message is displayed above a pod. If you adopted your cat from us you could choose the accommodation your cat was in, personalising your request.
For more details on Fundraising for the branch and Pod Sponsorship go to our Bluebell Ridge Website under Get Involved.

Finally, I would like to say a huge heart felt thank you to our committed and dedicated team at Bluebell Ridge. Each person using their skills and making a difference by helping the cats when they are at their most vulnerable. I am grateful for your hard work every day, in yet again difficult times and circumstances.
A big thank you to our lovely volunteers who give up their valuable time to help us, and the cats, Mary Bristow and the Trustees, Jo Bilby Finance/Admin, Sarah Piggott, Senior Branch Partnership Manager HQ, for her knowledge. Also to Kent North West and Eastbourne Branches for their continued support, our lovely vet Geoff at Senlac Veterinary Centre and all the staff for the wonderful work they do.

Dog Report
Our Dog Welfare Scheme continued to be very busy during 2022. The main purpose of the scheme is to help members of the local community by contributing financially towards the cost of initial veterinary consultations and medication when a dog is ill or injured, to ensure the dog gets the help it needs at the earliest possible opportunity. During 2022 we contributed a total of £5052.42 to help 50 families care for their dogs, an increase of over £2000 from 2021. As with other living expenses the cost of
veterinary treatment continues to rise, making it more and more difficult for people to afford these unexpected bills.
We also contribute towards the cost of neutering dogs and we continue to stress the benefits of neutering. It can reduce the chance of health and behavioural issues for the dog, and at a time when there are already so many dogs who require rehoming,
neutering will also reduce the number of puppies needing a home We continue to work with another local charity, Surviving the Streets, which is based in St Leonards on Sea. The charity mainly supports homeless members of the community, but the range of help was expanded during the Covid 19 pandemic to also offer a foodbank to local families in need. We purchased and donated over 400 tins of dog food to this charity during the last year
Many hundreds of tins, pouches and bags of food, chews, bedding, blankets and toys, have also been donated by members of the public during 2022, either at Bluebell Ridge or at our charity shop in Bexhill. These supplies were shared between Surviving the Streets and another small local organisation who provide a dog food bank
Following the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 we received many additional donations of dog food specifically for Ukraine. The branch also purchased approximately 160 tins of food, and both these and the public donations were delivered to local collection points for onward transport to Ukraine and surrounding areas
None of this would be possible without the continued support from the local community, and this support can be made in many ways. As well as donating food, it is possible to make one off financial donations, or by regular bank standing order. We continue to rely on this support to enable us to help the animals who so desperately need it.

Fundraising Report
We have continued to benefit from legacies which are a vital source of income for the charity. We have engaged with our regular Donors and Pod Sponsors to ensure they are receiving sufficient information on our work and our plans for the future. We have also asked our supporters to consider leaving us a legacy in their will if they have not already done so.
We have contacted all local firms of solicitors and provided guidance to ensure clarity around how their clients can confidently leave a legacy to our branch as opposed to the national RSPCA centre.
As a boost to our fundraising potential a new business strategy and action plan were created identifying a number of new developments. We hope that this will attract the interest and financial support of a number of new grant makers thereby offering the opportunity for a substantial new fundraising income stream for us.
We have also been researching local businesses, schools and colleges with whom we could potentially collaborate to extend our connections across local communities and to promote greater awareness and support for animal welfare.
Fundraising events have been limited this year due to an absence of available volunteers. However we hope to hold more events in 2023 in order to publicise and promote our development plans for the charity, at a time of increasing demand for animal welfare rescue and support services across the region.

Charity Shop Report
Your Local RSPCA Shop 16 Western Road Bexhill-on-Sea East Sussex TN40 1DX Tel: 01424 734562
2022 was the year that felt like life was back to normal, with all the previous year’s restrictions on trading finally behind us. A collection of dog and cat food for the unfortunate animals in Ukraine resulted in over 1,400 cans/pouches donated and shipped to Germany for onward distribution by Four Paws. Thank you to all who donated. The level of trade over 2022 exceeded expectations which were only possible because of the exceptional level of high quality donations, for which we thank those for thinking of the RSPCA.
The shop plays a pivotal role in raising much needed funds to support the Branch and we value tremendously all who donate goods, money, cat and dog food and time, in addition to those who make purchases. We could not function without their continued support.
Without the hard work and dedication of staff and volunteers, we would not be able to achieve the levels of success that we have, so a very special thank you to them for their continued commitment and enthusiasm. Without our customers it would not be possible to achieve the levels of success we have, so thank you. We look forward to your continued support and welcoming those both old and new to the shop over the course of 2023.

Treasurer’s Report
An Independent Examiner's Report, rather than an Audit Report, is appropriate for the year ended 31 December 2022. Comprehensive notes to the Accounts are included by way of explanation and these form an important part of my report. It should be noted that "Restricted" funds are those held for a specific purpose e.g. Cat Rehoming Centre, and "Unrestricted" means funds available for general use with the objects of the Charity.
The Trustees have again worked extremely hard during 2022 to raise the profile of the Branch and cattery and thus much needed funds. Their dedication and commitment ensures that the Branch can continue with animal welfare in the local area.
