REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30[th] APRIL 2022

The Directors have pleasure in presenting their annual report together with financial statements for the year ended 30[th] April 2022.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on the 16[th] of February 1999 and registered as a charity on the 19[th] of July 1999. The liability of the members is limited to £1 per member.

The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company, and is governed under its Articles of Association and its constitution registered under the Charities Act. The organisation is restricted to carrying out activities within its charitable objects. The company is managed by its board of directors and the rules regarding their appointment, re-appointment and removal are retained in the Articles to which reference should be made.

RECRUITMENT AND APPOINTMENT OF DIRECTORS

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purpose of charity law. The rules regarding the number of directors and their appointment, re-appointment and removal are contained in the Articles of Association to which reference should be made.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The directors actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that securing on-going funding to enable the objectives to be met, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions.

OBEJECTIVES AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The charity's objectives and principal activities are the rescue of endangered primates and the provision of a sanctuary for their continuing upkeep and care.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE REPORT 2021 – 2022

As this year draws to a close Wales Ape and Monkey Sanctuary has actually been open for a full year! We are all happy to have welcomed visitors back without fear of closure again. On May 1[st] 2021 we re-opened with two new reception staff, and although missing the Easter Holidays we are happy to report that our visitor numbers were the highest ever in spite of not re-opening the shop and coffee shop. Other than the 3 major named storms the Sanctuary was open all year and fortunately our location keeps flooding to a minimum.

In the summer we were able to employ 3 new Keepers and take on a young apprentice to continue our relationship with Haddon Training and Cambrian Training. This heralded a busy time for Head Keeper Nicola who was responsible for their training and induction.

We were also able to accept a new volunteer to assist with food preparation in the new purpose-built kitchen which is now equipped with two walk in fridges and a walk in freezer. The latter has proved to be an excellent investment, especially when bulk donations of meat and fish come in for our carnivore residents.

No further rescues from Europe have been possible due to both Covid and Brexit. However, we have been alerted to the pet trade in Wales in Serval cats and took in three Servals and a Savannah F1. We were astonished to discover a trade that we had previously not known anything about, let alone that people were keeping these animals in their homes. 3.

This of course involves further construction of enclosures suitable for this new species. We hope integration will be possible but the Savannah is extremely aggressive and unfriendly to the others. Only time will tell.

Two Schnauzer pups joined us rescued from a bad situation and they have made friends with one of our solitary wolfdogs. She was terrified of the other wolfdogs due to her abusive background and extremely nervous. The Schnauzers have completely turned her world around and she has become a happy sociable animal. Sometimes, some animals are not necessarily equipped to deal with their own species and this is something that the public needs to understand. This is a rescue sanctuary and this means that most of our residents have come from problem situations and will not necessarily easily join a group.

The Servals and the Schnauzers were the first patients for neutering in our brand new hospital unit.

This also made it possible to collaborate with visiting Spanish veterinary team and our veterinary practice Team with exchange of ideas, expertise and methods.

Food donations continued to come in from the public both locally and from our Amazon Wish list. Our appeal for scatter food for the primates brought an overwhelming response.

Butchers Dog food also donated a pallet of tins for our canine residents. Our Charity has been extremely fortunate and we are all very grateful for the generosity of everyone who has continued to help the animals at a time that has not been easy for anyone.

Llamedos Holiday Camp raised a wonderful £5435.41 for the Sanctuary

Our rescue of two more rabbits resulted in donations of food and enrichment items for them too.

The Wales Ape and Monkey Sanctuary aims to help to address the problems associated with the results of human misbehaviour towards animals and the impact this has had on animal welfare, conservation, biodiversity, sustainability, the increasing number of endangered species and the number of recent confirmed extinctions.

Shown above are a small selection of the topics covered in our Education Programme. We have expanded this significantly this year in close relationship with the Collaborative Learning Project. Gwilym Pugh joined our group of patrons this year, which include Sheridan Smith, Phil Campbell, Michael Paget, Dr Rhys Jones, Graham Norton and James Corden. 6.

Dr Rhys Jones has also kindly agreed to join our Advisory Board. We are fortunate to have such a knowledgeable individual as part of our team.

We had planned to change our boiler this year and the Moondance Foundation had agreed to fund half of the cost. The biomass boiler heats and provides hot water for the whole site. However, with the energy crisis the wood pellets that fuel our existing biomass boiler became impossible to access as our supplier obtained them from Russia. When we found a new supplier the cost of pellets subsequently tripled to £617 per tonne leading to a cost to the Charity of £15,425 per load which lasts for approximately one month! This led to a decision not to attempt to reinvest in a new boiler at this time.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

REVIEW POLICY

The Charity's reserves are mainly represented by restricted capital funds with the general fund standing at a deficit at the balance sheet date. The Charity achieved a small surplus in this financial year and it is anticipated that future surpluses will eliminate the remaining deficit. Once this has been achieved it will be policy of the Charity to retain sufficient funds to cover six months future expenditure.

INVESTMENT AND OTHER POWERS

The Charity does not have surplus liquid resources to invest.

14. STATEMENT OF FUNDS

The restricted capital fund comprises (i) the value of land and buildings costs donated by Mr G Garen and Mrs J A Garen and by Mrs Garen's mother, plus (ii) donations and grants assistance towards the building of the Primate Rescue Sanctuary and Visitors Centre less (iii) depreciation on the related assets.

The Trustees believe a restricted capital fund is a better and more accurate description of this fund rather than an endowment fund.

The directors are drawing up a plan to deal with the deficit on unrestricted funds. They have already lent money to the charity to fund the current deficit, and will consider waiving the loan at some point in the near future.
