GRWE will, through our work, be recognised as the leading
independent charity operating in the field of rescue, rehabilitation
and rehoming of unwanted, abused or abandoned greyhounds.
Our Mission:
GRWE will provide facilities to rescue and care for
unwanted, abused or abandoned greyhounds in any part of the country
if resources allow.
GRWE will provide an ongoing professional and caring service
for all dogs taken into our care and placed into pet homes.
GRWE will support the promotion of improved greyhound welfare
through our membership of the Greyhound Forum, the Association of
Dogs & Cats Homes and any other appropriate body.
Our Values:
GRWE will never willingly choose to put a healthy dog
to sleep and will always strive to find appropriate homes for all
dogs which come into our care.
GRWE will aim for the highest standards in our working relationships
with volunteers and supporters, potential homes, suppliers and
other persons or groups engaged in similar activity.
GRWE and its representatives will seek to be courteous, fair and
considerate in all dealings with each other and the public.
Our Objectives:
Our Charitable Objectives, as registered with the Charity Commission,
are that we:
Provide care and protection to relieve the suffering
of retired or unwanted greyhounds by providing and maintaining kennels
and other facilities for their reception and care.
Place greyhounds in such permanent homes as the trustees may
consider appropriate.
In order to achieve this, the Trustees have stated that in the short
term GRWE will:
Provide as many kennel spaces for rescue dogs
as our resources allow.
Increase the number of successful rehomings.
Improve the cost efficiency and effectiveness of our administrative
processes.
Maintain a strong and effective board of Trustees.
Increase our financial strength by developing all areas of income
available to us whilst maintaining current income levels.
Maintain a prudent reserve that reflects the operating costs
of the charity.
Offer training and support to our volunteers.
In the longer term GRWE strives to:
Have guaranteed kennelling facilities, veterinary support
and resources, which will allow us to meet our Charitable Objectives
until such time as every greyhound is free from risk or need.
