SOCIETY FOR ABANI)ONED ANIMALS
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 IAARCH 2022
The Trustees have pleasure in submtiting the ReFM)rt and Accounts for the year. 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 edUcat￿n 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 be￿een O￿Ober 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 hon￿5. 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 volunte￿5 who relentlessty looked after
our feral colony during our closure.
We continue to work in collaboration other charities in order to delrver more public benefft to animal
wellare, including Cats Prolection, Pawpurrs, Rabbit Weltare Asswab"on and Fund. Association of Dog and
Cat Homes, Support Adoption for Pets, and the RSPCJi

Promotion of the ehaTi
's work
The Charity has ￿ntInued to raise tls media profile and continues its engagement with the local community
which is essential for the future of the Chartty even during closure.
We continue to improve Oltr online presence through our website and social nehvorking keeping all
supporters and parties of interest engaged and up to date wtth the prcgress of the building works.
Volunteeys
The Tmstees express their thanks to all of our volunteers and ￿knOw￿ge their invaluable contribution
to the charity. Volunteers are invofved in all areas of the chatity including animal welfare, administration,
re￿ptIOn, site maintenance, and fundraising. We could not conb.nue to OFerate without their hard work.
Future Plans
We have been able to refvrbish exith.ng buildings and demolish all unwanted and wtentialty unsuitable
buildings. As a ￿sU11 of this we have created additional car pa￿ng, refvrbished and remodelled
reception area and office accomm(xJab"on providing better segregation betsveen front of house and
back of house areas. We now have a modem and inclusNe environment purpose made to provide high quality
animal ca￿, able to generate sustainab]e income and encouraging community engagement via an attractwe
setting.
We are aiming to reintrodu￿ dc¥Js to the rescue once we have upgraded our current dog facilities. We are
considering the introduction of Guinea Pigs to our list of speoes wtth rehoming and boarding facilities.
