Chair of Trustees Annual Report

Since taking on the role of Chair in December 2024, it’s been a steep and often challenging learning curve. We’ve seen a complete change in the committee and leadership team and a change in the way the society runs.

We have made plans that will mean that the society will have to spend some money, but in the long run will ensure the societies future.

Our accounts prove we can manage the finances of the society and keep funds in reserve to cover for any lack of regular fund raising, and to not impact the smooth running of the rescue.

We have now had a year of the charity shop being open and it continues to go from strength to strength and is firm a favourite in the town.

From the shop we have also branched out with Vinted and Ebay sales from the donated goods we receive.

We are now working with a local vet’s practise – Eden, they come to the rescue every three weeks to hold a clinic so that our small residents are not stressed out by being put into carriers and driven to the vets and its saves our volunteers having to drive them around.

We continue to support other local charities with donated food and aim to start working more closely with likeminded local cat charities.

Sandbach Animal Rescue continues to be a much-loved organisation in the community, and we are called upon frequently for help and in turn are supported in our fundraising ventures, time and again.

All of this would not be possible without our wonderful volunteers, who spend, at time hours at the rescue, in the shop or raising money at events. Truly the society could not manage without them and in turn the support from their families and I am eternally grateful.
