LAST CHANCE ANIMAL RESCUE HOME REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The Trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (second edition - October 2019).
Objectives and Activities
The objects of the charity are as set out in the Trust Deed and are to provide or maintain refuge or rescue homes or animal hospitals or sanctuaries or other facilities for the reception and care of injured or abused or unwanted animals of any species and the treatment and rehabilitation of such abused or ill-treated animals of any species.
The charity's objectives for the year were to rescue and re-home an increasing number of animals and improve facilities at the centre wherever possible. This was proving difficult due to the national lockdown which greatly restricted the numbers we were able to re-home during this period. Our Bromley Charity Shop remained closed due to the Covid 19 pandemic. Our ebay shop continued to trade successfully and continued to prove very popular.
We have referred to the guidance in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
The charity does not use the services of paid fund raisers and have not received any complaints concerning our fund raisers or activities.
Achievements and Performance
In 2021 the charity rehomed in total 332 animals, some of whom were neglected, others abandoned or unwanted and some of whom were handed in due to their owners no longer being able to care for them (2020: 719). This equated to an average of approx. 7 animals every week of the year. Some of the animals coming into the centre are strays, which we collect from a pound in Wales although this was very restricted again due to lockdown which prevented us from visiting the pound in Wales. For some animals this really is their last chance. Other animals come from local "hand ins" as we try not to turn any animal away. We implement a strict neutering policy and ensure every animal is wormed and inoculated by our veterinary surgeon, as well as microchipped for identification purposes. The charity also rehabilitated numerous animals needing extra medical treatment or surgery, using the excellent veterinary care facilities we have at the rescue centres, and if necessary referring animals needing specialist surgery to referral clinics to receive treatment.
Activities at both our New Romney and Edenbridge Centres were impacted heavily by the Pandemic. Again, we were unable to benefit from the use of volunteers, fosterers etc and new adopters were unable to visit on occasions.
Further work on the development of phase two at New Romney (second kennel block), was limited during this period although we were able to complete the installation of insulation of the loft area. After much discussion and research and following quotations received from different firms of architects we appointed a firm of architects to design and oversee the future construction of our much needed new office at our Edenbridge Centre.

Impact of COVID-19
As noted above, the Covid-19 pandemic has had a big impact on the results for the year ended 31 March 2021. Income from fund-raising events will be much lower in 2021/22 as we have had nil opportunities to promote the charity at fund raising events such as county shows, village fetes etc. Likewise, presentations which are normally given to businesses, organisations and any other interested parties have had to be cancelled this year. Overall, with its healthy levels of reserves, the charity is well-placed to withstand any decline in fund-raising income and to continue its charitable activities for the foreseeable future.
Structure, Governance and Management
Last Chance Animal Rescue Home is regulated by a trust deed dated 20 March 1991 and is registered with the Charity Commissioners under registration number 1002349
The Trustees are ultimately responsible for all aspects of the charity's affairs with the day to day management of the Rescue Centres being carried out by the senior manager, Ms J. Mansfield. Any major operational decisions, including the recruitment of new or additional staff are made by the Trustees based upon the recommendations of the senior manager.
New Trustees are sought when required. Only those with the necessary skills, experience and empathy for the charity's work will be appointed as decided by the existing Trustees. New Trustees will receive a pack of information concerning the history and background of the charity including financial information and will receive a briefing from the existing Trustees.
Pay policy for senior staff
The salaries for key management personnel are reviewed annually and is dependent on delivery against individual annual objectives in accordance with the charity's aims and values.
The levels of pay aims to:
-
recruit and retain talented individuals to lead and develop the charity; and
-
develop and sustain high performance.
Pay for key management personnel reflects the market for comparable jobs in comparable organisations, the level of knowledge, skills and experience required and the responsibilities associated with each role.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The Trustees are responsible for ensuring there are adequate risk management and internal control systems in place to effectively manage the major risks to which the charity is exposed.
The Trustees consider the following risks to be the most significant in terms of strategic, business & operational risks and the following systems have been implemented to manage those risks:
| **Risk ** | Management |
|---|---|
| Increased competition for voluntary income Risk of standards slipping at the rescue centres leading to reduced animal welfare Events that could impact the charity's reputation |
Increased emphasis is put on fundraising and increasing local and national awareness to engage with new and existing supporters. Staff are vetted and trained to ensure the best care for the animals. The health and welfare of animals is regularly monitored. All staff are trained to ensure they are equipped to deal with the running of the charity and their specific role. If necessary, advice is sought on key issues that may impact the charity. |

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LAST CHANCE ANIMAL RESCUE HOME
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Last Chance Animal Rescue Home for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2021, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion on financial statements
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs(UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the Trustees’ Annual Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
the charity has not kept adequate accounting records; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns;
-
• we have not received all the information and explanations we required for our audit.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LAST CHANCE ANIMAL RESCUE HOME
Responsibilites of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 3, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK) we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charity's internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertaintly exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going
-
concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to contine as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclsoures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LAST CHANCE ANIMAL RESCUE HOME
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timings of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiences in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are; to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the charity.
Our approach was as follows:
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the charity and considered that the most significant are the Charities Act 2011, the Charity SORP, and UK financial reporting standards as issued by the Financial Reporting Council.
-
We obtained an understanding of how the charity complies with these requirements by discussions with management and those charged with governance.
-
We assessed the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, including the risk of material misstatement due to fraud and how it might occur, by holding discussions with management and those charged with governance.
-
We inquired of management and those charged with governance as to any known instances of noncompliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
Based on this understanding, we designed specific appropriate audit procedures to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. This included making enquiries of management and those charged with governance and obtaining additional corroborative evidence as required.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 8 of the Charities Act 2011. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to any party other than the charity and charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinion we have formed.

LAST CHANCE ANIMAL RESCUE HOME NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1. Accounting Policies
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). The charity is a public benefit entity for the purposes of FRS 102, and the charity has also prepared its financial statements in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102 Charities SORP) and the Charities Act 2011.
These financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the Balance sheet date, the charity has unrestricted funds of £2,922,516 and a strong cash balance of £1,250,716. Subsequent to the year end and in light of the coronavirus pandemic, the trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis of preparation of the financial statements is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. In particualr, the trustees have taken into account the levels of cash held by the charity and the pressures on income. Whilst the ultimate impact of the pandemic cannot currently be quantified the trustees do not believe that it will significantly impact the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern.
The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of these financial statements. After making enquiries, the trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
1.3 Income
All income is recognised when there is an entitlement to the funds, the receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably.
Legacies are recognised following probate and once there is sufficient evidence that receipt is probable and the amount of the legacy receivable can be measured reliably. Where entitlement to a legacy exists but there is uncertainty as to its receipt or the amount receivable, details are disclosed as a contingent asset until the criteria for income recognition are met.
1.4 Resources Expended
Expenditure is included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis and recognised gross of of irrecoverable VAT. Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All costs are allocated between expenditure categories on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resources. Costs related to a particular activity are allocated directly. Support costs are apportioned on an appropriate basis. These are costs which assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs and governance costs.
Governance costs comprise the cost of running the charity, including external accountancy, audit, Trustees' legal advice and constitutional and statutory compliance costs.
1.5 Gift aid
Gift aid and other income received by the charity in respect of which a claim for repayment for tax has or will be made is grossed up for the tax recoverable and this gross amount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
1.6 Government grant receivable
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received.

LAST CHANCE ANIMAL RESCUE HOME NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 (continued)
1. Accounting Policies (Contd)
1.7 Fixed Assets
Tangible fixed assets are capitalised at cost and depreciated to their estimated residual value over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Freehold buildings 2% cost Improvements to premises 20% reducing balance Kennels and cattery 20% reducing balance Motor vehicles 25% reducing balance Furniture and equipment 20% reducing balance
Freehold land is not depreciated.
At the end of each accounting period the residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed and adjusted if necessary. In addition, if events or change in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable then the carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment.
1.8 Stock
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and estimated net realisable value.
1.9 Leases
Rent payable under operating leases is accounted for in the Statement of Financial Activities in equal amounts over the period of the lease.
1.10 Fund Accounting
Funds held by the Charity are either:
Unrestricted general funds- these are funds that can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the Trustees.
Restricted funds- these are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the Charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
1.11 Critical Accounting Estimates and Areas of Judgement
In the view of the trustees in applying the accounting policies adopted, no judgements were required that have made a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements nor do any estimates or assumptions made carry a significant risk of material adjustment in the next financial year.
1.12 Financial Instruments
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank and in hand and short term deposits with a maturity date of three months or less.
Debtors and creditors
Debtors and creditors receivable or payable within one year of the reporting date are carried at their transaction price. Debtors and creditors that are receivable or payable in more than one year and not subject to market rate of interest are measured at the present value of the expected future receipts or payments discounted at a market rate of interest.
Fixed Asset Investments
Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
