Secretary Report
Insurance on buildings up to date. We have helped many people with vet consultations, part neuter for dogs and euthanasia. J Brady has homed 40 adult cats and 56 kittens. We have cut down intake to reduce boarding and vet costs.
Cattery Report
N. Ellis has homed 40 cats, homing slow during summer holidays, but we have not refused emergencies. The charity advertises on Catchat and has homed cats to W. Wales Cornwall, Hereford and Brecon, not only locally. 18 cats in situ at present.
Shop Report
More volunteers needed, we advertised and were successful but people only stayed for a few weeks. Prices have been raised but we are still the cheapest in town. Better quality clothes have tickets, any long staying clothes are put on a £1 rail or recycled. Shop is ticking over, without it we could not help so many people.
Book Stall
Sales up a little, prices up also, but our recycling of books has come to an end.
A.O.B
J Pratt mentioned we need to look into chip and pin machine.
Election of Oficers
All officers remain unopposed

independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
j
Maesteg Animal Welfare Society
We report on the accounts of the Maesteg Animal Welfare Society for the year ended 30th June 2025 which are set out on pages 1 to 3.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustee and Examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act)) and that an independent examiner is needed.
-
It is our responsibility to:
-
° Examine the accounts (under section 43(3)(a) of the Act; , ° Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 43(7)(b) of the Act); and
-
° State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's statement
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Direction given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
independent Examiner's Statement
-
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
-
Which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: ° To Keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993; and ° To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act
Have not been met; or
-
Bs. To which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
