THE ANIMAL TEAM

The Animal Team provide an essential link between Rescues, Rescue people and Volunteers all over the UK. Our Home-check and Transport groups not only provide Rescues with the ability to expand their re-homing areas,our promptness in arranging checks and transport runs also mean a quicker turnover of Rescue spaces, this in turn enables more animals to be saved.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • This charity has been very successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is completely female
  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
