Monthly CEO Reports

Dog Desk Animal Action CEO Monthly Reports provide a monthly record of our work, priorities and organisational development.

Each report brings together our direct animal welfare work, research, policy engagement, fundraising activity, new initiatives and CEO reflections. We publish these reports as part of our commitment to transparency, evidence-based practice and continuous improvement.

CEO Monthly Report – September 2026

September was another busy month across Dog Desk Animal Action, combining direct animal care with our sanctuary and community programmes, fundraising, public education, communications and wider animal-welfare work.

During the month we supported animals through surgery and medical treatment, funded boarding and transport, provided mobility equipment and welcomed new animals into our programmes. We also continued sharing the individual animals whose lives sit behind everything we do. CEO Report September 2026

Alongside our direct work, September included the launch of our Autumn Raffle, publication of our Autumn Magazine and Animal Welfare Bulletins, our 30 Day Kindness Challenge, preparations for World Animal Day and ongoing international animal-welfare research and campaigning. I also attended Battersea’s 2026 International Dog and Cat Welfare Conference.

These reports help us show the breadth of work taking place across the organisation from the animals we can physically reach to the wider work that helps us understand and challenge the systems affecting animals elsewhere.

CEO Monthly Report – August 2026

Our August report reflects another busy month spanning direct support for dogs, veterinary care, international advocacy, policy monitoring, research and organisational development.

It includes our work in Türkiye and India, developments tracked through our Global Stray Dog Crisis Map, correspondence with authorities in several countries, practical support including boarding and veterinary care, and the work taking place behind the scenes to strengthen our organisation.

Not everything we do can be captured in a photograph or a social media post. These reports help us document the wider picture — what we did, what we learned and where our attention is going next.
