**STRAY DOGS SANCTUARY**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021**
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The charity was set up in 1999 following the decision by the RSPCA locally to implement their national policy of not taking in stray dogs from the local authorities unless they had a space, after the dogs had waited seven days to be claimed.
Registering with the Charity Commission our stated object is:
“The care and protection of animals in need of care and attention by reason of being stray, neglected or unwanted and to prevent cruelty and suffering to animals. To advance public education in the proper care of animals.”
Following the sad and unexpected death of our founder Mrs Judy Townsend in September 2020 the charity paused dog rehoming activities, and later in that financial year Covid 19 lockdowns caused significant disruption to fund raising primarily through the charity shop. (Though some of this was compensated via government business continuity grants). Since that time the charity has re-oriented to function as a grant making body to other dog and animal rescue charities, as well as providing a small amount of ad hoc funding of veterinary costs for the needy.
Following the end of Covid lockdowns the charity shop has resumed full time and fund raising has been very satisfactory.
The trustees have reviewed the outcomes and achievements of our objectives and activities for the year to ensure they remain focused on our charitable aims and continue to deliver benefits to the public. We have complied with the duty under the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Charitable activities**
During the year funds raised via the charity shop and legacies and government grants have been distributed to the following registered charities:
Rushton Dog Rescue
Pound Puppies
Margaret Green Animal Sanctuary
As this has been our first year of grant making, and only a partial year due to lockdowns, the list is quite short. As a result our total funds carried forward into the next financial year is relatively high at £52,176. In subsequent years we plan to distribute considerably more funds.
