SOUTHERN LURCHER LIFELINE 

We are a small UK voluntary organisation that supports Sighthounds through sponsorship in the South of England. We have 8 'Lifeline Sponsor' hounds that we support medically and are open to grant applications from vets and owners who need help to pay for a hound's critical medical needs, due to personal circumstances or having exhausted their insurance limit. We fundraise to support this cause.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
