Which have independently examined up to date annual accounts.
Which demonstrate an active re-homing and rehabilitation policy for animals taken into their care?

The Trust will not support:
Applications from individuals.
Charities registered outside the UK.
Charities offering sanctuary to animals, with no effort to re-home, foster or rehabilitate unless endangered species.
Charities that bring animals from overseas to the UK will not receive support unless they are also supporting ongoing/doing work in the country of origin (such as vet work and/or helping local shelters).
Charities that do not have a realistic destruction policy for animals that cannot be given a reasonable quality of life be that medical or behavioural.
Charities with cash and/or investments valued at more than one year’s expenditure will not qualify for a donation, unless it can be demonstrated that reserves are being held specifically for a project.
Charities that spend more than a reasonable proportion of their annual income on administration or cannot justify their costs per animal helped.
They would not normally support an application from overseas charities for funds for capital expenditure.
Veterinary Schools, unless the money can be seen to be directly benefiting the type of animals the Trust would want to support e.g. welfare-related or low-cost first opinion vet treatment projects.
The Trust expects all applicants to be charities registered with the Charity Commission unless their annual income is under £5,000.
