PAWPRINTS - WIRRAL WILDLIFE RESCUE, REHABILITATION AND RELEASE

Pawprints Wildlife Rescue offers rescue, rehabilitation and release for a variety of wildlife - with an initial focus on hedgehogs and foxes. We will grow as expertise allows and hope to offer sanctuary to owls, bats, squirrels - as indicated by need, space and experience. We will offer training, advice, awareness raising in parallel with a clinically excellent rehabilitation and release programme

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly female
Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
