MARIAS ANIMAL SHELTER
Marias Animal Shelter is based in Probus.As a charity we try to help as many animals as possible, who have been abandoned, abused, neglected or are unwanted. The farm animals that have entered the shelter will stay with us for life, whereas the small animals, when ready will be put up for adoption. If for any reason they cannot be re-homed, they will stay at the shelter for life.
Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted reserves increased to £172,538, maintaining a level sufficient to keep the charity running in the event of reduced incoming resources. The charity reported a net income surplus of £34,962 for the year, a significant improvement from the previous year's loss, supported by public donations and a legacy. Despite this improved financial position, the trustees note continued economic volatility and have postponed significant projects to contain costs.
