Trustees report 2024
This year we have again continued to provide for our resident animals, and have contributed to a few other animal welfare causes. In particular the Adrar Animal Project in Morocco, which provides hands on welfare for feral dogs, cats and donkeys near Agadir.
The software company still continues to provide the funds to operate and build the Welfare and Education Centre and look after our resident animals.
Non-Profit Company
The non-profit continues to provide funds for looking after our resident animals.
Animals Welfare Centre
Our building and repair work has been able to continue this year. We have just continued work on the new kennel block to be able to take in more dogs.
Resident Animals
Our resident animals are all doing well, we have lost two dogs due to old age and two due to illness this year. Staffing costs have increased this year due to cost of living and minimum wage rises.
Behaviour Referrals
We have only dealt with a few email and telephone referrals again this year.
Welfare support
We are continuing to support the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics. We continue to support a local food bank with donations of dog and cat food. As mentioned above we are also now supporting the Adrar Animal Project in Morocco.
Accounts
The accounts for 2024 continue to be good, due to the income generated by the Software Company and other small donations.

Report to the trustees of Animals in Mind, on accounts for the year ended 31/12/2024
Set out on pages 1 to 1
Respective responsibilities of trustees 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 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have been met; or
-
To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
