OBJECTIVES AND AcfiviTIES
Objectives 2nd aiins
Our InaÈn aitms and objectives, as set out in our governing documents, the Memordnduin and Articles of Association
al-e..
To i'escue battery and other hen5 from egg prodiicing farms when the farJn5 are depopulating and to find thein homes
whei'e they can live a natural fi-ee range life
To arrange veterinary ti'eatinent for any hens: and
To look after and care for hens who are not rehoined in accordance with the point above on a tempoi-aiy oi. permanent
basis
Oui. aiin is to educate the piiblic on where their food coine5 fi'otn, allowing them to see the resiilts of factory farining on
the hens so that they can niake an informed choice about what they choose to eat. To educate the PiLblic oi) how the
welfai'e of aniinals 15 badly affected in an intensive famiing situation and to show them the benefits to health, both
Inental and physical, that keeping a few hens as pets Can provide.
Significant activities
Dui'ing the 2022123 we still had Inany of the 1500 hens ill our care. This had a Thegative affect on out feed and travel
CQ5ts.
We continue to have negative feedback on the tnsistence of a flock licence before rehoining froiJ] us, biit we Iiave stuck
to oui. guns and gradually people are accepting and iindeistanding the importance of il in helping to pi'event Aviaii Flu
frotn spreading due to unlicensed hen owners.
With the 1500 hei)5 coining in we have had to put on hold any major works incliiding the extension of the draining
works, although we have a inuch iinproved drainage systein as is and further works can be delayed for a year or so.
The gl'azing has lield up well and the grass is now well taken and inatured and even witli allowing the waterfowl on it
daily, we have Inaiiaged to retain grass. We have now fEnished with the re grassing of our grazing areas and thi5 has
helped with soine of oui. continued drainage issue5.
Our A&E Poitacabin is proving invaluable although space is a blt tight and w¢ are havino a bit of an issue with tT]ice.
The resident cats go in there at night and are just about keeping the mice under control.
We continiied to move forward and secure inore regular donations from our followers. We have foiind ihat Amazon.
Ebay and Facebook have allowed us to rnise ￿ndS more easily for specific pi'ojects
Plans for 2023-2024
l. To raise funds to complete the perimeter fence, raising it to 8ft all round
2. Complete second part of drainage
3. Reduce the nuinber of hens and roosters that are being retained at the sanctuary
