Trustees' Report
The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements and auditors’ report of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021.
Objectives and activities
Objects and aims
-
To take in unwanted, abandoned or stray cats, kittens and rabbits, and give them a good quality of life until it is possible to find a loving, permanent home for them.
-
To educate the public in responsible pet ownership.
-
To eliminate indiscriminate breeding by encouraging the neutering of all pets, including pedigrees.
-
To advise and help the public in the humane control of feral cats.
Public benefit
The trustees whilst following the Charity Commissions guidance on Public benefit cannot physically help everyone within our geographically defined area. Where we cannot take somebody's pet or stray, we do offer our neutering scheme where applicable, advice or give details of other charities that may be able to help. The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
Use of volunteers
The Charity has many volunteers who make a significant contribution to its operation including home visiting, supporting our retail operations and fundraising as well as supporting our animal care operations. The Charity could not survive in its present form without the contributions and support of our dedicated and committed volunteers.
Achievements and performance During the year, CRRC rescued 573 animals and rehomed 591 animals, significantly lower than the figures for the previous year due entirely to the Covid 19 pandemic. The centre was closed to the public during much of the year in line with Government guidelines, and we changed our rescue and rehoming processes, introducing virtual home visits, and reducing the physical contact involved in our rescue and rehoming activities. Additionally, the numbers of animals requiring rescue were also much reduced as a consequence of the pandemic.

As in previous years, wages are the highest cost category for CRRC at £462k, however, this was reduced by £82k in grants received from the Government's Job Retention (furlough) scheme. CRRC deployed a skeleton staff during the lock down periods, providing animal care, whilst our staff deployed in our retail operations were furloughed and the finance team worked from home.
Veterinary and medical costs are the next highest cost category for CRRC. However, these are much reduced on the previous year due to the lower numbers of animals in our care, and a generous concession from our veterinary practice. A summary of the medical treatments performed are set out in the table below:

During 2020-2021 CRRC has continued to run its animal care, and retail operations subject to the restrictions imposed by the Covid 19 pandemic. In addition, the main fundraising events were all cancelled, and our summer and winter fayres were replaced by virtual auctions. Hence, 2020-2021 has been an extraordinarily challenging year for CRRC.
Financial review
At the year end, the total funds held by the charity were £2,556,289 (2020: £2,215,068), consisting of £49,508 restricted funds (2020: £48,075) and unrestricted funds of £2,506,781 (2020: £2,166,993). Included within charitable funds are £1,237,539 tangible fixed assets (2020: £1,270,943) which can only be realised by disposing of those tangible assets. Also included within charitable funds are £872,332 of fixed term investments
Page 3
The Cat and Rabbit Rescue Centre
Trustees' Report
(2020: £416,536), which are term deposits due to mature after more than three months.
Income for the year at £1,009,616 was £491,560 up on the previous year (2020: £518,056) due to higher donations and legacies (up £543,850), receipt of government covid support grants & furlough (£156,959) off set by a reduction in retail income due to the closure of the shops during Covid lockdown (down £172,441), a reduction in adoption income (down £12,753) and reduced fundraising activities both due to Covid.
Expenditure for the year at £668,395 was £40,523 down on the previous year (2020: £708,918), we incurred higher wage costs where we continue to incur costs for services that were undertaken by the founders at no cost (up £14,478), this was offset by savings in food costs and vet fees as a result of reduced animal activity (down £43,592) alongside a gain on disposal of fixed assets and reduced depreciation due to a number of assets being written down in the prior year.
Income therefore exceeded expenditure by £341,221 for the year (2020: Expenditure exceed income by £190,862).
Policy on reserves The Charity’s policy is to hold free reserves of at least one year's expenditure (approximately £670k), but with contingency for new projects to improve the work of the Charity (approximately £100k), giving a total of £770k.
At the end of the accounting period, the unrestricted funds were £2,507k (2020: £2,167k), of which £1,238k (2020: £1,271k) are invested in fixed assets. This leaves free reserves of £1,269k, which is in line with this policy. The trustees are considering the future plans of the Charity in this respect.
Structure, governance and management
Nature ofgoverning document The constitution of the Charity is set out in the Deed of Trust dated 7th May 1991 and the Deeds of Variation dated 27th May 1997, 17th August 2017 and 6th July 2018.
Recruitment and appointment oftrustees During the year, one new trustee was appointed, starting 22nd January 2021.
Should the Charity require any new Trustees, they would be appointed by agreement of the current Trustees, with the philosophy of the Charity's aims in mind.
Induction and training oftrustees The Charity will rely upon the guidance issued by the Charities Commission in relation to the induction and training of Trustees. Induction of the three new Trustees appointed at the end of the 2019-2020 year took place during at the beginning of the 2020-2021 year and the new trustee induction was completed at the year end.

Trustees’ Report
Organisational structure
The Board of Trustees provides the governance of the Charity with regard to all expenditure over and above the normal running of the centre. The day to day running of the Charity is carried out by the Centre Manager and the Animal Care Manager, with oversight from the Finance Manager. Animal welfare and care where appropriate is a decision of Trustees and Staff. Unfortunately, the Centre Manager resigned at the very end of 2019/20. There were 3 trustee meetings in the year, considerably less than last year due to the restrictions in place for Covid-19. The trustees continued to be available for the day to day management and a new centre manager was appointed in June 21.
Major risks and management ofthose risks
Investments The Trustees consider that safeguarding the investments held by the Charity are particularly important to the future activities of the Charity. The Trustees have tried to mitigate investment risk by using numerous bank accounts each limited to the amount that is guaranteed should a bank run into difficulties (currently £85k per bank). Investment risk is under regular review by the Trustees.
Disclosure of information to auditor
Each trustee has taken steps that they ought to have taken as a trustee in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity's auditor is aware of that information. The trustees confirm that there is no relevant information that they know of and of which they know the auditor is unaware.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. [n preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of The Cat and Rabbit Rescue Centre
Qualified opinion We have audited the financial statements of The Cat and Rabbit Rescue Centre (the 'charity’) for the year ended 3] March 2021, which comprise the Statement of Financia! Activities, Balance Sheet, 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 United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising Charities SORP - FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Basis for qualified opinion on financial statements
The evidence available to us was limited because we were appointed as auditors during the year and we have been unable to carry out auditing procedures necessary to obtain adequate assurance regarding the opening balances and comparative figures because the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2020 were unaudited. Any adjustments to the opening balances would have a consequential effect on the profit for the year. In addition, the amounts shown as corresponding amounts for the year ended 31 March 2020 may not be comparable with the figures for the current period.
Comparative information in the financial statements is derived from the company's prior period financial statements which were not audited.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ report.
In respect solely of the limitation on our work relating to opening balances: + we have not obtained all the information and explanations that we considered necessary for the purpose of our audit; and + we were unable to determine whether adequate accounting records had been maintained.
Qualified opinion on the financial statements
In our opinion, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, 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, including its income and expenditure, 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
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 opinion.

The Cat and Rabbit Rescue Centre
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of The Cat and Rabbit Rescue Centre
Conclusions relating to going concern
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:
-
- the trustees use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
-
- the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charity's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. 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.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 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 or a material misstatement of the other information. 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
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Report.
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:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns, or
-
- certain disclosures of trustees remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities (set out on page 6), 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.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of The Cat and Rabbit Rescue Centre
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
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 the 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 purpose 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 uncertainty 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 continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the charity to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the charity audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the trustees those matters we are required to state to trustees in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and its trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
1 Accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Basis of preparation
The Cat and Rabbit Rescue Centre meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Income and endowments
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donations and legacies
Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Investment income
Dividends would be recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due. There are currently no investments that would provide dividend income,
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category.
Raising funds
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Page 13
The Cat and Rabbit Rescue Centre
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’ meetings and reimbursed expenses.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph | Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £500.00 or more are initially recorded at cost. Exceptions can be made by the Trustees where it is appropriate to do so.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
----- Start of picture text -----
||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|Asset|class|Depreciation|method and|rate|
|Freehold Property|2%|Straight|Line|
|Plant|and Machinery|20%|Reducing|Balance|
|Motor Vehicles|25%|Reducing|Balance|
----- End of picture text -----
Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments, other than programme related investments, are included at market value at the balance sheet date. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period of disposal.
Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities based on the market value at the year end.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees's discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
