NORTHERN IRELAND BArrERY HEN RESCUE
Report of the Trustees
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with
the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of
Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their
accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)
(effective l January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
Our main aims and objectives, as set out in our governing documents, the Memorandum and Articles of Association:
To rescue battery and other hens from egg producing famis when the fanns are depopulating and to find thein hoines
where they can live a nathral free range life
To arrange veterinary treatment for any hens: and
To look after and care for hens who are not rehomed in accordance with the point above on a temporary or permanent
basis
Our aim is to educate the public on where their food comes from, allowing them to see the results of factory fanning on
the hens so that they can make an infomied choice about what they choose to eat. To educate the public on how the
welfare of animals is badly affected in an intensive farn)ing situation and to show them the beneflts to health. both
Inental and physical, that keeping a few hens as pets can provide.
Significant activities
During the 202312024 year we continued to finish renovations to the rescue centre areas and to the periineter fence. Our
facility to have a specific area, albeit small, to take in hens and rooslers to an area that they can be isolated for 28 days
fiDm the remainder of the hens has been invaluable and has been an iinportant unproveinent for us in light of the
ongoing outbreaks of Avin Flu and the number of roosters being dumped is increasing. However, this area is not the
most suitable as we are having rodent issues. We need to look at moving the A&E area to a secure location which Rats
and mice can't access.
We have had some negative fe¢dback on the insistence of a flock licence before rehoming froin us, but we have stuck to
our guns and gradually people are accepting and understanding the importance of it in helping to prevent Avian Flu from
spreading due to unlicensed hen owners.
With the completion of the first stage of our drainage a few years ago we have noticed that with the increasing rainfall
each year, it's not draining as inuch as we would like. The surrounding water table is high most of Éhe time and not
getting a chance to drain away. The improvements in the grdzing areas have held their own so far with the ducks being
able to graze as well as rest on the grass. The ducks have been slow to rehoine but we are sticking with it and hope to get
duck numbers down soon...
We continued to move forward and secure more regular donations from our followers. We have found that Amazon,
Ebay and Facebook have allowed us lo raise funds more easily for specific projects.
Plans for 2024-2025
l. To raise funds to complete the perimeler fence, raising it to 8ft all round
2. Coinplete second part of drainage
3. Find a volunteer to help with arranging the fund raising and set up a committee under the walch of Patricia
4. We anticipate 2024ll5 to be the organising Inore structure, so that Barbara doesn't get landed with ever)rthing
5. We will bring on Tracy Middleditch as a director also and her knowledge and her strength and abilities for dealing
with poulty will be miich welcomed
