## Organisation 

The trustees meet on an approximately quarterly basis to discuss the affairs and management of the charity. The trustees are happy to leave the day to day running of the charity to its Founder Caroline Gould, hospital manager Dean Harrison and assistant hospital manager Vic Hurr. In the event of any need to acquire capital items, this is presented to the trustees for their decision. 

The aims and objectives of the charity carried out for the public benefit continue to be: 

- To prevent cruelty and relieve the suffering and distress of wildlife needing care and attention. 

- Advance the education of the public in the study of wildlife, wildlife first aid and rehabilitation, conservation and the prevention of cruelty to animals. 

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s 

general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charities’ current and future activities. The charity carries out these objects by: 

- Operating a wildlife hospital at our principal location in Beckford which is open to the public 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 

- Responding to requests for assistance in dealing with large mammals or other potentially dangerous wildlife from the public or other services such as the Police. 

- Providing veterinary care to any wildlife brought to the hospital whether by members of the public, RSPCA, vet practices or other wildlife organisations. 

- Seeking to treat, rehabilitate and release any wildlife casualty assessed as having a chance of survival equal to that of its wild peers. 

- Providing specialist veterinary advice to other veterinary professionals. 

- Offering work experience placements to veterinary students and those otherwise involved in the study or rehabilitation of wildlife. 

- Offering a 1-day course in ‘First Aid, Care & Rehabilitation of Hedgehogs’ to hedgehog carers, rescue centre staff, volunteers, vets and vet nurses. Run in conjunction with the BHPS (Charity number 1164542).

## SIGNIFICANT EVENTS: 

- On Sunday 2 July 2023 we hosted our Annual Open Day. Which was once again a massive success. We welcomed a huge number of supporters to view the inner workings of the hospital and facilities as well as a packed field of craft and charity stalls, games and fun, a fun dog show, Zorb pool and dozens of other attractions. Planning is already underway for next years very special 40th Anniversary Open Day. After a record-breaking year in 2022 we were extremely delighted to raise a staggering £21,578.71 

- At the end of 2023 our final patient tally for the calendar year was 7740. This is 200 more than the previous year, and double the total number admitted just 8 years ago in 2015 (3873). June 2023 was our busiest ever month with 1394 patients admitted. Birds make up 60% of all our patients but hedgehogs continue to be the species we admit most frequently with 1690 treated during 2023, which is 25% of the total patient count.

- During this year we have been pleased to offer training placements to 45 students studying either a veterinary or animal related course from several different UK colleges and universities, as well as international institutions. These opportunities allow us to play a role in educating the next generation of veterinary professionals and rehabilitators and help to increase knowledge and experience in the extremely specialist field of wildlife treatment and rehabilitation. 

## • 

- Our charity shops in Tewkesbury and Evesham continue to thrive and the combined income from both of our charity shops makes up 32% of our total income and it is no exaggeration to say we simply could not exist without the shops and therefore by extension the staff, volunteers and the customers who keep them so busy.

## The Vale Wildlife Hospital & Rehabilitation Centre Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 April 2024 

- This year we have been delighted to introduce a new educational course aimed at hedgehog care professionals. The Microscopy Course (Hedgehogs) or “What’s under the Microscope” looks at the vital role microscopy plays in the diagnosis and treatment of hedgehogs in care. Offering practical skills and reference information. This course has been developed and is run by our education officer Jeff Wood in conjunction with senior staff members. Feedback from trial sessions has been very positive and demand for planned courses has outstripped initial capacity leading to the need to add further dates. 

- Both our ‘First Aid, Care & Rehabilitation of Hedgehogs’ and ‘Microscopy Course (Hedgehogs)’ have been approved and certified by the CPD Certification Service. Revenue generated from both courses has quickly become an important income stream for the charity at the same time as helping to drive up standards across the rehabilitation sector. 

- Financial review: 

|Total income for the year was|2024|**£786,153**|2023|£898,504|% change|**-12.5%**|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
||||||||
|Expenses for the year were|2024|**£919,443**|2023|£730,525|% change|**+25.8%**|
||||||||



This gives a deficit of £-133,290 for the year after a £167,979 surplus in 2023 which is a -180% change 

## Initial observations: 

Overall income this year was £112,351 less than the previous year, very notably income from legacies was £116,125 less than the previous year. Legacies are probably the least predictable and most erratic income stream we receive but can quite clearly make a simply massive difference to a small charity and we are extremely grateful to all the support and their families who make the choice to leave a gift of any size to the charity. 

Expenses this year increased across the board, as is to be expected, however utilities or more specifically electricity costs leapt by a staggering £40,000 or approx. 290% this alone has resulted in a very significant and ongoing funding shortfall this financial year. 

Payroll costs now account for around 72% of the charity’s expenses. As the charity continues to expand and treats more and more patients so more care and support staff are required to support the smooth running of the hospital and to ensure high standards are maintained. Individual staff costs are low with all care, shop and support staff on a wage slightly over the minimum legal wage and the Management team and veterinary team on a wage far less than would be expected in private practice.

Our staff are our biggest asset, the skills and dedication of our hardworking people, regardless of their role, are the backbone and lifeblood of the hospital. Every one of them plays a vital role in the day-today operation of the whole organisation.

However, in the opinion of the trustees, if the land were to be re-valued is value would have increased however in the current financial climate it is very difficult to estimate a value. The trustees feel that it would not be in the best interest of the charity to have the land professionally valued as the charities cash resources could be better used elsewhere. 

## **In summary** 

This has been yet another extremely successful year for the charity in many ways, we continue to grow and develop both in terms of patients helped but also the education of veterinary and wildlife care professionals as well as the public. 

We are immensely proud of the way our staff and volunteers keep the hospital operating 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The challenges have been many and varied but the ability of the staff and volunteers to adapt and the resilience they have shown has been a credit to them all. 

The financial shortfall we have seen this year is however extremely worrying and has resulted in the trustees shelving planned projects and unfortunately the decision to make redundancies in our maintenance department which in turn increases the pressure on our animal care staff and volunteers as they absorb those duties on top of their own. 

We continue to seek out new funding opportunities to meet our monthly costs of over £76,620 however this become extremely challenging and the trustees continue to monitor spending carefully.

The Vale Wildlife Hospital & Rehabilitation Centre Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 April 2024 

## Future Plans: 

- To continue to operate the wildlife hospital and two charity shops in their current locations. 

- To continue to treat and where possible rehabilitate and release any British wildlife casualty brought to the hospital. 

- To maintain and seek to improve facilities for the care and rehabilitation of casualties at each stage of their care. 

- To continue to offer a range of courses to further the education of all interested parties in Wildlife First aid and related subjects. 

## Reserves Policy: 

Financial reserves are necessary to support the charity in case of difficulty. However, the charity is solely reliant upon donations, charity shop income, fundraising and legacies to maintain a sufficient reserve level. At the end of the year the charity held sufficient reserves to continue for over 7 months. 

## Related Parties: 

There are no related party transactions accountable for within the charity. 

## Assets 

No assets are held on behalf of any other person or organisation.

## **TRUSTEE RESPONSIBILITIES** 

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charity and of surplus or deficit for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently. 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. 

- Prepare the financial statements on the ongoing concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue to operate. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at the time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charity Act 1993. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
