## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended September 2020** The Trustees present their Report along with the consolidated financial statements of the Charity and its subsidiary for the year ended September 2020. The financial statements have been prepared and comply with the Charity’s Trust Deed. Animals In Need is a Charity registered with the Charity Commission under Registration Number 1068222. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) effective 1 January 2015). ## **MISSION STATEMENT** We see it as our responsibility to rescue sick, injured, trapped and distressed wild and domestic animals, and provide veterinary treatment where necessary, care for and rehabilitate animals until they can be released or rehomed. In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance “public benefit: running a charity (PB2)”. ## **ACTIVITIES** Animals in Need is a rescue organisation, attending animal casualties in the Northamptonshire area. We attend to both domestic and wild animals, and in 1999 were asked by Northamptonshire Police to work with them, attending road traffic accidents and out of hours emergencies. Feeding and caring for the injured animals we rescue is most important, especially in cases of young orphaned birds, which need hand-feeding every hour from dawn till dusk. Also young hedgehogs who have not reached the required weight to survive hibernation over the winter months need to be kept warm and fed, as do swans that have incurred injuries, many from fishing tackle that they have swallowed or become entangled in. ## **HOW WE WORK** We rescue and rehome thousands of animals every year, along with mentoring and teaching Volunteers the correct animal care. We are well known for offering work experience to veterinary colleges, and we pride ourselves on being a local employer. We have on-site hospital facilities for all of the animals, along with a 24 out of hours veterinary surgery. Most importantly to the Charity, we have a “Non Destruct Policy” for all our animals. ## **VOLUNTARY HELP AND GIFTS IN KIND** The Trustees are extremely thankful for the number of Volunteers and paid Staff that continue to provide valuable support by caring for all of the animals at the sanctuary, staffing the shop, along with fundraising events, and daily walking the dogs in our care. The public have also been very generous in providing gifts in kind, particularly food for all the animals in our care, along with bedding. ## **CHARITY SHOP AND CAFÉ** We have a Charity Shop on the outskirts of Northampton Town Centre, which is run by Volunteers. We run a very successful Vegan Café on site, which is run by a team of dedicated people. Opening 2 days a week, the Café is a fantastic attraction to raise funds and awareness of the sanctuary. ## **WHAT WE DID – Activities, Fundraising Events, completed projects and ongoing projects** ## **ACTIVITIES** We continue to provide daily care for all of the animals ensuring, where applicable, they are all fully vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, flea-treated and wormed. All animals are cleaned out daily to a high standard. ## **FUNDRAISING EVENTS** Each year Animals In Need runs several fundraising events. Past Events include: - Fun Dog Shows - Sky Dive - Pack Walks - Vegan Fayres - Open Days In 2020 we were unable to hold any physical events due to the COVID restrictions which were in place. We did however hold some online events to help raise vitally needed funds. ## **COMPLETED/ONGOING PROJECTS** Again, due to the COVID restrictions, for over a year we have been unable to construct any new buildings, the only work we have carried out has been essential maintenance, in particular replacing the boundary fencing. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** Please see attached accounts which set out our financial position at the end of the period. The income has in the main been generated by regular fundraising events, as well as through legacies & bequests and adoption fees. Day to day outgoings include feed and vet bills, utilities and general running costs for the sanctuary and the emergency vehicles. It would be impossible to run the charity without a small number of paid staff, although the majority of the workers are volunteers. The total income generated in the year was £473,498, with running costs of £391,680, meaning there was a profit of £111,505. We always hold in reserve enough funds to cover our running costs for the forthcoming 12 months. This is so that we can continue to look after the animals in our care for that period, with the same number of paid staff, and funds to cover projected utility costs, whilst allowing ourselves time to potentially raise further funding so that we can continue our work beyond that cut-off date. We have a governing document, which sets out our aims and guidance for the Trustees. We appoint Trustees based on their dedication and commitment to the charity, backed up by their beliefs and ethics, ensuring that the charity continues to run for the same reasons that it was founded. The Trustees are conscious of the need to use funds wisely, and meet on a monthly basis to discuss how to move the charity forward, without jeopardising what we have already accomplished. We would hope that in the future we are able to continue to grow as a charity, thus being able to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome as many animals as possible, although we are realistic as to ensuring that those that come in are given adequate space and the best care available, without over-crowding them. ## **OUR PATRONS AND SUPPORTERS** As well as our amazing staff and volunteers, we are lucky enough to have some great patrons and supporters. ## **Heather Mills – Patron** Heather Mills was born in Aldershot, Hampshire, and is also a patron for VIVA and the Vegetarian and Vegan Foundation. She set up a restaurant called VBites, and supplies a food range previously known as Redwoods based in Corby. This now includes the brands Cheatin, VegiDeli and Cheezly. ## **Nathan Watson – Dog Behaviourist** Nathan Watson is a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT). Qualified with the Academy of Dog Training and Behaviour (ADTB). CRB checked and fully insured with Pet Plan Sanctuary. He specialises in the rehabilitation and preventative training of dogs and puppies nationwide and is now working directly with us here at Animals In Need, providing the Restart4Rescues Scheme. ## **STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** The Charity is unincorporated governed by its Charitable Trust Deed made on 3[rd] December 1997. ## **TRUSTEES AND PAID STAFF** We have 3 Trustees, who are responsible for overseeing the general running of the sanctuary. Our Trustees are unpaid, and do not request expenses. Each Trustee takes responsibility for monitoring the Trust’s activities in specific operational areas, along with chairing regular monthly meetings. The Trustees are: - Roy Marriott (Chairman) - Jean Jones (Animal Welfare/Fundraiser) - Sally Smith (Secretary/Treasurer/Human Resources) There should always be a minimum of 3 Trustees at any time. Trustees are selected on the basis of their ethics towards animals, meet the criteria of being at least vegetarian and based on their skills and expertise. ## **PAID STAFF** - Annie Marriott – Sanctuary Manager - Kate Archer - Emma Townsend - Elizabeth Collins - Laura Savage - Beki Kelly - Lorraine Cook - Jasmine Sailer All paid and voluntary staff are given an induction and are provided with all the information and training required to safely fulfil their roles. ## **TRUSTEES’ Responsibilities in relation to the financial statement** The Charity Trustees are responsible for preparing a Trustees’ Annual Report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Charity Trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements the Trustees are required to: - Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently - Observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP - Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent - State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures that must be 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 The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the Trust Deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website in accordance with legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements. ## **Animals In Need** **Incorporating Maxicare Stray Dog Rehoming and The Algernon Trust Registered Charity 1068222** **Pine Tree Farm, London Road, Little Irchester, Northants, NN8 2EH** CHARrrrf NUMBER 1068222 Unaudltod flnancial stat•m•nts For th• y•ar ond•d 30 S•pt•mbor 2020 P80È 1 745 IlldepelldeDt ExamiD&s Report lo the Tnutees of ADim*lB In Need (NorthamptoAshl￿) R•¥po•lblllllos •nd bul• d T•wl 2011(Tr￿. l rtport ol rAn¥¥J LWA 145 01tr4ry 2011 T4*J kn caTryk¥ my IMtibJt• ofCh•r*rd Erylwbj & W4*¥.
