ENGLISH SETTER RESCUE ASSOCIATION- Charity 293708
Trustees Report for 2024.
1 General.
Activities by ESRA continue in accordance with the Trust Deeds, and as such are limited to support and “rescue” of English Setters. With the relatively small numbers of English Setters, activities of the Charity have remained low. The extensive use of Social Media has impacted the way the many people find new homes for their pets.
The financial situation of ESRA remains very strong, during 2024 the Charity income increased to £150000 for the year and income exceeded expenditure by £140000. ESRA received legacy donations of £126000 during 2024.
At year end the total funds for ESRA were £1025819. Investment income (£24777) and the gain in investment assets (£20968) moved ESRA to a fully sustainable mode based on the current level of activity.
2 Activities.
Rehoming was very limited and has proven challenging for behavioural reasons. Uncertainties relating to a Setters behaviour are a concern for the charity and for this reason in 2023 it was decided to construct a basic kennel in the Chairmans grounds to enable a detailed assessment of a dog’s issues to be made prior to placement in a new home. This has proved worthwhile to assess rehoming of setters with uncertain history.
Age support was not required in 2024.
