WOODSIDE ANIMAL WELFARE TRUST

Woodside provides sanctuary for most types of unwanted pets. None are destroyed unless beyond veterinary help or are dangerous. Elderly and sick animals receive care for life if necessary. A spay and neuter programme is in operation and, funds permitting, welfare officers visit deprived areas to assist responsible ownership. All adopted animals are taken back if they can no longer be kept.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy

Financial issues to consider:

This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £3,392,931 available, equivalent to 28 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
Fundraising costs are extremely high relative to funds raised
