THE IRISH RED SEfTER RESCUE CHARITABLE TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (Continued)
Coverlng the year ended 31 December 2023
Flnancial Revlew
FlnancSal Posltlon
On the 14 June 1994, the Trust received £50,000 from the Irish Setters Breeders Club on behalf of the Rescue
Section. This Sum Included the bequest from O C Collins which had been previously shown as a separate item in the
accounts of the Rescue Section.
During 2011 and 2012 the financial resources of the Trust were further cemented, in the Sum of £191,305 being
received from the Eileen Mary Kennett Will Trust. The Trustees have resolved that this donation and the income
therefrom will be applied only for the benefit of the Irish Red Setter Rescue Charitable Trust and to support the
Rescue & Rehome Sectlon when necessary. Help was glven in several areas of anlmal welfare.
Reserves were enhanced during 201812020 by a bequest (in instalmentsl of £114,000, and further enhanced by
other significant bequests during 2022.
The value of the fund at 31 December 2023 amounted to £698,813. Income during the year of £60,851 was
exceeded by expenditure of £61,741, giving a net shortfall of £890. Unrealised gains on investments amounted to
£23,130 resulting in a net positive movement in funds of £22,240.
Maln Achievements
An arm's length relationship with other charities is maintained. The Trust tries to help out urgent cases and assist In
exceptional circumstances where the cases involve Irish Setters. In 2021 Michelle Websterfs executors donated her
Irish Setter Pedigree Database to the Trust which now maintains and updates it for the benefit of the breed. A
database upgrade during 2022 has secured its future.
Rescue and Rehome Sectlon (ISRANDR•
The Irish Setter Rescue and Rehome Section {ISRANDR) undertakes the practical work of rescue and rehoming on
behalf of the Trust. This work was previously done by the Irish Setter Breeders Club (ISBC) Rescue Scheme the
activities of which were transferred to the Trust at 1st June 2017, together with its Officers and Committee, and its
cash balances amounting to £17,880.
Rescue and Rehome (ISRANDR) is an activity which operates as a Section of the Trust, not independently of it, and
thus is supported, when necessary, by Trust funds, and the Trustees have ultimate responsibility for its operation.
A comprehensive major and beneficial review of Rescue and Rehome took place in 2019 resulting in savings in
expenditure, which remains closely monitored. However, inflationary costs continue to be a challenge to control.
The ongoing support and generosity of volunteers is much appreciated. ISRANDR seeks to provlde a personal,
knowledgeable and sympathetic rehoming service, and receives many positive reviews and recommendations from
the wider Irish Setter community.
