## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2024**
The trustees present their report along with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31[st] December 2024. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 6 and comply with the charity’s trust deed and applicable law.
## **Constitution, Objectives and Achievements**
The Charity is governed by a constitution to relieve the suffering and distress of animals in need of care and attention, the promotion of high standards of responsible animal ownership, the provision and maintenance of kennels, rescue homes, sanctuaries and other such facilities.
The Charity has managed to home 98 cats and has had to turn none away from our area.
We have homed 67 dogs, we do have a policy of only taking in dogs that we think are suitable for re-homing.
## **Governance**
The trustees who have served during the year are listed on page 1.
## **Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements**
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF DANEMERE ANIMAL RESCUE**
I have examined the financial statements for the year ended 31[st] December 2024 on pages 5 to 8.
## **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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act
- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of the independent examiner’s report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 you as 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 statements below.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- (1) 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 2011 Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to ensure a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
