Public benefits
The main direct benefits flowing from our purposes are a reduction in the unnecessary suffering and distress of companion animals by the provision of a rescue and re-homing service by means of a sanctuary for the care, protection, treatment and temporary or permanent accommodation of such animals; improving awareness among the public pertaining to
all aspects of animal care and welfare; control of the feral cat population; promoting a culture of volunteerism among the general public. Public benefit can be shown by the many animals that are responsibly matched and re-homed each year. Our re-homing success can be measured by the very low rates of unsuccessful adoptions which has the benefit of minimizing distress to our animals and also members of the public. Benefit can also be demonstrated by the reduction of the number of dogs unnecessarily surrendered or destroyed by our local council dog pound. We have an excellent working relationship with our local pound to this end. We have undertaken intensive feral cat neutering and spaying over the years resulting in a noticeable reduction in feral cat related call outs. Bright Eyes relies heavily on volunteers from the general public in order to run our sanctuary as efficiently as possible so we work with many local people who as well as being inculcated with a strong sense of volunteerism also benefit from learning about all aspects of animal care and welfare. None of our purposes give rise to any harm. The beneficiaries of our purposes are the general public throughout Northern Ireland and in particular the Fermanagh/Tyrone area. No private benefit flows from any of our purposes.

Bright Eyes was established as a not for profit in order to provide a safe refuge whether temporary or permanent for stray, neglected, unwanted or vulnerable companion animals. We provide a fully vetted re-homing service for the animals in our care. We provide advice to the public on the proper care and treatment of animals with emphasis on the
importance of neutering and spaying. We also conduct talks at local schools to promote the work we do and encourage an awareness of animal welfare in general, and provide placements for people that are interested in animal welfare. Provides volunteering opportunities for the public. Bright Eyes carries out feral animal control by providing a trap, neuter and release programme in an effort to control the feral cat population in the Fermanagh area.
