Hi everybunny, I hope you and all your precious furry ones are all well 🐰❤️
It's been a while I know, Daisy and Dougal are both very well and still have a firm paw over their slaves and the running of their bunny abode.
I do however, have to being you the sad news that as a charity, we are no longer able to continue.
We have applied for, and now been given clearance from OSCR to dissolve our wee charity.
I'm quite sad really as I would've loved to have kept it going on some level.
Unfortunately, my efforts to try to keep it as an ongoing organisation were in vain. We couldn't find anyone who was potentially interested or likewise, able to / have the time to take over it all.
My own circumstances have changed so much over past few years I no longer have the time, it's defo not a one person job! I guess that's been pretty obvious with the long absence on our FB etc.
As the terms of Dissolving the charity, any funds leftover were to go to RWAF. It sadly wasn't much, but every little helps. I am tying up all the loose ends, closing down our funding services, bank accounts and various other bits n bobs.
Our committee member Rhona has done such bunderful work with The Scottish Parliament's Animal Welfare committee, highlighting the need for rabbit welfare standard housing to be made 'legal' to reflect the standards set out on the Scottish Government's Rabbit Welfare Guidance 2018. No easy task!
Rhona has been working alongside Rae at RWAF, and both will keep on Rabbiting On to try via both the Scottish Government and Parliament and find a way forward to making these improvements a reality.
I can not thank you all enough for your continued support over the years, it is through that that rabbits are now being heard and improvements have been made by including their welfare through legislation in Scotland, albeit slowly.
Also, with your support we were able to provide care for several bunnies in dire need over the years and provide them with a hoppy home to live out their precious wee lives. For that I am eternally grateful.
I'll leave the page up for now, there's so many happy memories of our furry friends from over the years, I would hate to just delete it all. Furthermore, I hope the advice, links and various other posts will act as a point of refence towards the betterment of welfare and husbandry for those looking to improve the lives and care of their furry ones.
For now, take care and keep up the good work from each and all by taking whatever actions you can. Even the smallest hops make for progress. 🐰❤️
