ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Chair's overview 2020

The one word that comes to mind lookingback over 2020 is 'challenge'.There were many challenges,trialsand tribulationsto be
overcomeandyoumustforgiveme if I begin,ratherthanend,thisoverviewbythankingourstaff,volunteersandespecially my
trustee colleagues for their sheer grit and determination to bring us to where we are today.
The year startedwell enough,with us seeing our lovely7 Dachshundpups goingto theirnew homes and our long term  'resident'
CockerSpringerSpaniel(withusfromOct2018toJanuary2020)finallybeingclearedtogotohishappyeverafternew home.
Duringthe wholeof 2020we tookin 487 animals,rehomed449 andhelped417 to receivewelfareassistance.These figures are
very much down on previousyears because of the two lock-downperiods(especiallythe first between March and May ) when we
were unableto undertakerehomingand potentialadopterscouldonlylook on-lineand place a note of intereston any particular
animal.Eventually,guidancewasreceivedfromDEFRAwhichallowedanimalcharitiestobeclassedasbusinessesandadopt a
Covidprotectedrange of proceduresthat enabledus to book adoptersfor appointment-onlyvisits to view an animaland place a
reservation.It meantthatdogsin particulardidnotgo to theirnew homesfor 3 or so monthsafterwardsandouranimal centre
staff,aswellasourfosterers,continuedtogivethemallthetlc,trainingandrehabilitationneededtokeepthemhappy and
sociable. The cost for the year of running the animal centre was £745,452.
At the end of February,our long-timeAnimal Centre Manager,Julie Cockroft,retired and Deputy Manager,Claire Kendal acted  up
to manageuntilAugustwhen she was confirmedin post as the new AnimalCentre Manager.Claireand staff were magnificent in
the way they adapted to the Covid-19 restrictions as well as new strategies imposed by the National RSPCA.
Ourcharityshopoperation,whichin2019contributedanetprofittothebranchincomeofaround£100,000was particularly
