STRIICTURE, C.OVF.RNANCF. AIYD MANAGEMF.NT

oversee activilies. Day to day operalions are managed by ihe Irusiees with ihe assistance of managers.
one who deals with shop mallers, Ihe oiher with all kennel matters.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The truslees have considered ihe Charity Comrnission's guidance on public benefit and consider that the
charity complies with (he guidance. The charity's aclivities relate lo its legal purpose of applying its income
for the benefit of charitable objects and purposes, as the truslees deem fil.
oWE￿IVEs AND ACTIVITIES FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT
The objects of the charity are:
To relievc the suffering of animals who are in need of care and attention in particular by rescuing
stray and unwanied anirnals and finding homes for them. and lo provide veierinary treatment where
necessary. and
To advance the educalion of the public in all matters relaling io the care of animals.
The charity aims to maintain high standards of care for abandoned animals and find suitable homes for
them.
FACTORS RELEVANT TO ACHIEVING 0￿ECTIVEs
The ability of the charity lo achieve its objeclives naturally depends on the amounl of funds it has at its
disposal. The cosls of providing an appropriaie level of care to the animals rescued are substantial and
onscqucntly the more income thal can be generaled from the various fundraising activities the better. The
charity can only cany oui meaningful work if people are aware of its exislence and operalions. To this end,
work is ongoing in the community lo continue to raise the profile of the charity and io spread the word
about what we do, more delails of which can be found in the review seciion below.
INVESTMENT POLICY
All res¢rve5 thal are not represented by fixed assets and working capital are held in accounts with the
charity's bankers. The charity does not undenake oiher inv¢slments as they may carry exc¢ssive risk.
FUNDRAISING
As in past years the charity rnises Money in various ways, including donations, animal adopiions, and the
operdtion of chariiy shops. (Xh¢r sources include commission from the sale of Petplan insurnnc¢. The
charity ¢uffently operales 8 shops. all of which are rented.

FINANCIAL REI'IEIV
The financial perfom)an¢e of the chariiy and ils nel assets and liabilities are detailed within the Statement
of Financial Aclivitie& the Balance Sheel. and the related notes contained within this documenl.
In brief. total incoming resources amounled to £582.507 (previous year.. £533,042). Tolal outgoing
resources ￿'tre £507,104 (previous year: £471,545).
The surplus of incoming Tcsources compared io resources expended was £75,403 (previou5 year: £61,497).
The charit), had tolal accunlulaled funds at the ycar-end of £370.702 (previous year- £295,299). all of which
is represented by unTesITlCted funds. Cash and bank balances were £340.775 (previous year: £302,094).
RISK MANACEMF.NT
The trustees identify and Teview risks to whtch the charity is exposed, to ensure that appropriale controls
are in place. Major risks have been idenlified as..
Staff and volunteers. exposure lo poienlially dangerous animals.
Staff and volunteers. exposure lo infeciion and diseases.
Deplelion ol reserves due to insu￿1Clent fundraising or adverse econornic conditions: and
The possibility of financial misappropriation because of the nature of ihe charity's retail
operntions.
The trustees have put procedures in place to minimise and manage these risks.
REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE AGAINST NON-FINANCIAL OWEcfivES
Durin8 ihe J'earto 31 March 2024, we continued our efforts in rescuing and rehomingdogs,¢atsand rabbits.
During this period, we also helped other rescues in and out of our area by supporting them in iheir work.
We rehomed 16 dog5 and 32 cats during this period. We also rescued and rehomed 112 rabbits. All of our
animals were neutered if not already done by previous owners. They were all health checked by our vet and
vaccinated. Potential adoptees were carefully vetted and home checked by our team prior to being allowed
io adopt one of the animals in our care. Our slandards are high and where necessary on rdre occasions we
had to refuse lo allow adoplions lo so ihrough. Because of our high standards we rarely have any of our
animals returned. We have always had a No Kill policy so any animal in our Care stays until a suitable home
¢an be found.
RESERVES POLICY
The trustees consider that the level of free reserves (i.e. unrestricted funds thal are not invested in or
financed by fixed assets) should be maintained al a level in excess of £150,000. With such reserves, the
trustees feel that should any particular source of funding be tern]inated. for example by the closure of a
shop, the charity would be able to continue in operation until additional funding is secured. At the balanc¢
sheet date free reserves amounied to approximately £331,000.

FUTURE PLANS
We have no cu￿ent plans to open any more shops. The focus on retail sales remains high. and we have now
iniproved our sales by all our shops having a card facility, which has helped lo keep our sales at a high
level.
During this period we embarked upon building our own caiiery, and now have plans to extend Ihis facility
and lo find more suilable fosier homes for our dogs and cats to enable us lo rescue more animals.
We are also inlending lo provide a service to ihe general public in their own homes for micro chipping their
cats and dogs as il is now law that cats as well as dogs should be micro chipped.
As previously slated in Reports of ihe Trustees in previous years. our long-lerni ambition is still io purchase
our own land and kennels. Progress on this has to date still been limil¢d bul w¢ fully intend to pursue this
project as and when we can.
