THE LITTLEST LIVES RESCUE
We take in, free of charge, mistreated or abandoned rabbits, including pets whose owners suffer ill health or financial difficulties or pass away. Animals in our care receive veterinary treatment, are vaccinated and neutered as art of our on-going programme and are then are found new permanent homes. We also offer free animal care advice and education to the general public.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that free reserves of £17,400 were held at year-end, which is four times the monthly expenditure and exceeds the charity's policy minimum of one month's running costs. However, the trustees note that there are insufficient reserves to sustain a further 12 months of activity without reliance on further donations. The charity relies heavily on public donations to fund ongoing expenditure and does not hold long-term investments.
