The period Covered by this report is 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022 Objedives of the charlty The objectives of the chanty a lo provide shetter, fiKKI. veterinary attention, companionship, and homes for animals abandoned by their owners. The main activib'es of the chanty are: Admission of cats, rabbits and dogs to our facility {alihough we have not admitted any dojs in this financial yearl Provision of high-quality animal ore both at the sanctuary sÉte and in foster care Rehoming the animals admitted to our care Advancing animal welfare and edUcatn in our local communtty and beyond. The Trustees have had regard to the Chartty CommiSs)n'S guhyance on public nefit Achievements and perforniance Due lo substsntial redevelopment works which included demolrb.on and upgrading of buildings, asbestos removal, a complete remodel of the Bungalow the charity closed its doors beeen OOber 2020 and October 2021. Closing for a whole year was a drfficult decision made by the Board of Tfustees but if this decision had not been made, we would not have been able to achieve the future proofing of the sile lo allow the charity to continue it5 responsibility in line wrth the charttie5 twst deed. Our feral colony remained on site and was looked after by dedicated senior volunteers throughout the period of dosuft. A new staff team were put in place with our doors reopening to animals who need ourassistan¢e in finding them their forever loving home in November 2021. A phased re-opening was undertaken with cats being re-admitted first for rehoming, followed a few months later wtth rabblts. As standard procedure we (arry out home checks on all potential adopters, ensuring they understand the moral and financial responsibiltties invotved in ¢)wning an animal. Environmentsl conditions in the new home are assessed. and advice given regarding the surtability of ameniti.es provided. Rabbits that are rehomed as house rabbits must have sufficient safe Sp in which to play or have a hutch and run that meets our minimum size requirements. We also rehome rabbits to live in pairs Outdoors and the same applies to indoor rehoming where possible. Following eVIder¢ presented by the Assoc¢ation of Dogs and Cat Homes and consideration by the Board of Trustees we have now adopted the p)licy that cats may be rehomed next to busy roajs in suitable circumstances. Previousty we did not allow adoption on this basis under any arcum5tances Any home checks undertaken a time-consuming, bui essential in order lo ensure that the right animal goes to the right home and owner, re$u-ng in fewer rehoming failures. The ongoing welfare of all rehomed animals is paramount, and follow-up phone calls land home visits rf required} fomi an integral part of our rehoming policy. All rehomed animals (apart from a very small number of kittens, due to age) are fully vaccinated, spayedlneutered, and micr(chIpped prior to rehoming. Animals a150 have four weeks. free Petplan pet insurance included as part of their adoption. The chartty gets a commisston on any policies that are then contnued after these four weeks by the new owner5. Our adopters remain in contact with us, letting us know how the animals have setued into their new hon5. and alerting us to any problems or concems. We accept all animals back into the rescue should they not settle or rf the owners, circumstances change. Ouranimal ambulance Continues to enable us to provide hÉgh qualty animal care and fijrtherouranimal welfare work. The Board of Trustees would like to espe¢ialty thank the dedicaed volunte5 who relentlessty looked after our feral colony during our closure.
