TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022.
The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the Trust.
Hollytrees Animal Rescue Trust (HART) (“the Trust”) is governed by a Declaration of Trust dated 15 June 1998.
Objectives and activities
The Trust's operations and principal activities are to rescue and provide care and shelter for stray, abandoned, neglected and unwanted animals of all kinds; to protect animals from ill-usage cruelty and suffering; the relief of persons unable to afford veterinary fees for spaying of cats and dogs by assisting with charges; and the relief of the elderly who are unable to afford kennel costs or veterinary bills for their pets.
Public Benefit
Due regard has been given to the guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
Achievements and performance
This year has been a lot more back to normal for us all at Hollytrees . We have managed to plod through such a crazy time with covid for everyone .
Our rescue and re-homing of domestic animals has increased ; mainly due to people selling their animals over the Internet , but with the sheer amount of puppies and kittens bred and brought during lockdown , we have seen our numbers rise as the internet can only do so much , luckily some people choose us to have a life time back up .
Ray and the staff continue to be called to assist in the tracking and capture of animals, both wild and domestic. These are most often cases of animals being hit by cars and bolting off in fear. Ray has also been offering advice and supplies for cases of stray dogs all over the country. Ray has built a reputation of being able to trap dogs that are notoriously elusive and is often called for advice from distressed owners. In some of the hardest cases, Ray has gone out himself to help. Horses have also been a problem this year , with such wet ground and the fencing not being anchored enough . As they say the grass is always greener on the other side .
Being the only rescue centre in the area to take in wildlife, we set an aim in 2019 to add some fledgling avaries , which we succeeded at . Our wildlife aim this year is to get the nursery area together before the baby bird boom . The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted the centre in many ways,even nowanf continues to do so . such as tidying and lack of storage, due to being unable to sell the items kindly donated to us , which we have managed to sort out quite alot of .
Principal risks
The trustees review the risk to which the trust is exposed on an annual basis as part of the approval of the annual business plan.
The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:
-
The annual review of the risks that the trust might face
-
The establishment of systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified
-
The implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the trust should those risks materialise.
Reserves Policy
The trustees have examined the trust's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. They have established a policy whereby reserves are sufficient to safeguard the ongoing operations of the trust, and to be able to fund necessary building improvements and development work to keep the facilities as up to date as possible.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the 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 Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the trust and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the trust for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the trust and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

HOLLYTREES ANIMAL RESCUE TRUST (HART)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Hollytrees Animal Rescue Trust (HART) is registered with the Charity Commission in the United Kingdom. The trust is governed by a declaration of trust dated 15 June 1998.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the trust's Declaration of Trust dated 15 June 1998. the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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 2019). The trust is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the trust. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include investments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the trust is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. Bank interest is accounted for when it is receivable.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the trust has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the trust has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.5 Expenditure
Resources expended include all expenditure incurred in pursuance of the trust's objectives and are accounted for on an accruals basis. The trust is not registered for VAT, and so all VAT is irrecoverable and included with related expenditure.
AII expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Leasehold land and buildings 4% straight line Plant and equipment 15% reducing balance Fixtures and fittings 15% reducing balance Motor vehicles 25% reducing balance
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with changes recognised in 'net gains/ (losses) on investments' in the SoFA if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably. Other investments are measured at cost less impairment
1.8 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the trust reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.9 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.10 Financial instruments
The trust has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the trust's balance sheet when the trust becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the trust’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.11 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the trust is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.12 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the trust’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
There are no key estimates to disclose in the financial statements.
