Pets in Need (Lancashire) Registered Charity No. 1020244
Pets in Need Treasurer’s Report Year End 31/12/2021
As a comparison, our expenditure was much higher in 2021 compared to 2020. The sanctuary maintenance was higher than previous due to having roofs replaced on most of the outbuildings and the cost of electricity rising. Ancillary help was slightly higher in 2021 compared to the year before. Vet and cat fees were the same as 2020. We spent more on animal feed in 2021 than the previous year which might be due to the cost of living escalating. We spent much more money on goods purchased than the previous year as we were not able to organise much fundraising in 2020 therefore did not spend as much on this. We received a further three grants in 2021 from the local council as part of the Covid-19 Relief scheme – which helped keep our income up as our charity shop was closed from January – April due to local restrictions. The shop takings were higher in 2021 as the shop reopened in April and stayed open until the end of the year. We’d like to thank Marian and all the shop volunteers for keeping this source of income going. We were able to start fundraising properly again after June and held our Open Day and Dog show for the first time in two years which is always an income booster. We also held a quiz night which helped boost income and organised various online raffles on our Facebook page to help bring in an income which were successful. Our bankers orders had doubled in 2021 compared to 2020 as more people prefer to give regular donations online. Investment income was up slightly in 2021 compared to previously and we have been receiving income in the way of Pet Insurance Commissions. To summarise, our income was lower than 2020 due to the grants we received in that year. Expenditure was higher in 2021 than 2020 as we had to carry out maintenance to the buildings at the sanctuary.

Pets in Need Chairman’s report 2021
It has been a less disrupted year at Pets in Need, as we came out of the pandemic.
Committee
I have been very grateful for the support and encouragement of the committee. I would like to thank Georgina Ahern and Fi Hayton for joining the committee. Unfortunately, Gary Wild has left, but I thank him for his support in his time on the committee. All are very active volunteers with substantial responsibilities looking after our animals.
We have continued to implement good accounting standards and good governance. Emily Freeman and I are stewarding the finances to fulfil the requirements of the constitution, so the officers control the assets of the charity.
Operations
The continuance of the Covid-19 pandemic had a substantial impact on both the ability to operate the charity and the fundraising.
We had to close the sanctuary to public access for the first part of the year, and the lockdown regulations affected the shop being able to open.
I am very grateful for the volunteers who have still come to look after the animals and open the shop when legally possible through these difficult times.
Animal care
I am very proud of the work that the volunteers do in and around the charity – the dedication and hard work to the welfare of the animals at the sanctuary is clearly evident and has continued throughout these difficult times.
We have many animals seeing out their days happily in our care. Many cats have been rescued and brought back to good health, then rehomed.
Volunteers
We have had diminishing number of volunteers, so the work has fallen on fewer shoulders. We need more volunteers if we are to continue sustainably. The commitment of our volunteers is what makes this charity and is hugely appreciated, and I give my great thanks to all still involved.
Fundraising
We had reduced income from the shop due to the enforced limited opening due to covid regulations and protecting our vulnerable volunteers. We were not able to obtain grants via Bolton Council as we did in the previous year so income

dropped. At the same time the landlord changed and the rent increased, further reducing the ability of the shop to raise funds. The shop has a committed group of volunteers, led by Marian Owen. Thank you all for your support.
The first event of the year was the annual open day and dog show, which we almost lost due to forecast storms. Our supporters turned out in incredible numbers and the charity raffle made a huge impact on fundraising, producing a record day.
Audit
We have appointed an independent Auditor – Donna Brown - to review the accounts.
Conclusion
I would like to thank all the volunteers and trustees for your support in developing Pets in Need for the future.
