UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

The trustees have pleasure in presenting their annual report for the purposes of the Charities Act 2011, together with the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.

STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Save Me Trust is a registered charity constituted under a trust deed dated 6 September 2000 as amended 30 August 2012, and registered as a charity 22 September 2000.

The power to appoint and remove Trustees is vested in the Trustees and exercised by deed. The number of Trustees shall be not less than three and in the event of their number falling below three, such additional Trustees or Trustee shall forthwith be appointed as shall be necessary to make their number up.

On agreeing to become a trustee of the charity, the trustees are thoroughly briefed by the existing co-trustees on the constitution of the Trust, the day-to-day management, responsibilities of the trustees, the current objectives and future plans.

The Trustees are responsible for authorising grant payments, for ensuring all grants are made in pursuance of the objectives of the Trust and for ensuring the objectives of the Trust are met

The Trustees are responsible for identifying and reviewing the major risks to which the Trust is exposed and confirm that, as far as is possible given the nature of the grant payments and locations to which they are made, arrangements have been established to mitigate those risks.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The charity’s objects are:

  1. The relief of persons anywhere in the world who are in conditions of need, hardship and distress

  2. The relief of sickness anywhere in the world

  3. The relief of unnecessary suffering of animals anywhere in the world by such means as are charitable under the laws of England and Wales

  4. For the benefit of the public by the preservation and protection of endangered species of animals birds and plant life anywhere In the world

Public Benefit

The Charities Act 2011 requires that the Trustees explain in their annual report how it is that their activities demonstrate the public benefit of their work within the meaning of the act.

In charity law the advancement of animal welfare is recognised as a charitable purpose. The charity's purpose. The charity's objectives include providing protection to animals from suffering and the relief of sickness.

Save Me Trust works to give wildlife a voice. We continue to work to end the persecution and suffering of animals in the UK and increasingly around the world.

ABOUT SAVE ME TRUST, HISTORY AND ACHIEVEMENTS

The Save Me Trust exists to protect the welfare and dignity of wild animals. Climate change, increasing human population, destruction of habitats and pollution are the most significant factors causing the rapid decline of the creatures with whom we share our Planet. By working together and changing our behaviours, we can achieve sustainable change that supports wildlife, business and the environment, and offers every species a better future.

We are looking forward to another busy year of campaigning to change mindsets and laws. We work with Harper Asprey Wildlife Hospital who remain at the front line of our Trust.

We will see the final stage of our Wildlife Early Intervention project with Persimmon Homes. This unique project is due to ‘break soil’ in the first half of 2024 and the wildlife friendly build will begin. We have had a busy few years looking after the wildlife and working closely with the developers. Persimmon have been supportive in innovative ways to protect our wildlife at the construction stage and beyond. Construction is a significant factor in wildlife habitat loss and

THE SAVE ME TRUST

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

with increasing human populations this project is essential. This is the largest truly wildlife friendly development in the UK, putting wildlife protection in place and support the existing wildlife during this unique partnership.

Our lobbying for amendments to the Hunting Act continues and we start 2024 with a Parliamentary Event to get further support for the ‘May’ Amendments. These simple amendments will remove the loopholes for the Hunting Act and stop the illegal hunting that still happens today. The Hunting Act received Royal assent on 18 November 2004 and that the law commenced 18 February 2005, the result of which Fox Hunting was outlawed. Twenty years on from the law being passed many still choose to flaunt it and these amendments will help increase prosecutions and make the law clearer for all. We will continue to make sure that illegal fox hunting finally comes to an end. We continue to support the Clean Boot Hunts that rides out with dignity, showing you can have great fun riding out on a hunt without killing.

Bovine TB and the Badger still remains a key focus. The badger cull, now in its tenth year, has shown no improvement in its goal of reducing bovine TB in cattle. We continue to work with Defra and farmers. We have filmed a BBC documentary to show our journey with bTB and to highlight the amazing work at Gatcombe Farm. We hope this will show there are many ways to tackle bovine TB that work, and it will help farmers find solutions that work for their unique farm. The focus on badgers has been ill advised, unfair and non-productive for the farmers, the cattle and the badgers. Our BBC documentary will to hit the screens in 2024.

Our media profile remains very high, supported by social media, YouTube, television programmes, and national daily newspapers. We currently have plans with several production companies. Our social media presence continues to grow on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Save Me Friends, and our regular supporters have increased, helping us raise awareness. The Trust currently has six employees. Our volunteer support is paramount, and we are continually looking to more visible ways to reach the public and increase our impact through media.

We continue to grow from strength to strength with our support base and as we look to the future, we aim to increase the impact we can have on the lives of wildlife today. We have a very exciting year ahead with our plans to increase our media presence, expand our activities and the hospital, and form new long-term partnerships with like-minded companies.

The future is very bright at the Save Me Trust.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

During the year under review total income amounted to £412,321 consisting of donations of £411,793 and bank interest of £528. Expenditure totalled £357,828 with £37,804 spent on fundraising and £320,024 on charitable activities including £5,000 of grants. Net income was therefore £54,493 (2022 net expenditure: £24,837).

At the balance sheet date the charity had total funds of £155,418, with £148,304 restricted and £7,114 unrestricted. The charity’s free reserves, being unrestricted funds not represented by fixed assets or designated for future use, were a deficit of £18,915.

The trustees are content the charity has sufficient available funds, coupled with known future income to meet financial obligations as they fall due.

Risk management

The Trustees have assessed the financial risk management objectives and policies of the Trust. The exposure of the Trust to price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, and cash flow is considered not material for the assessment of the assets, liabilities, financial position and surplus of the Trust.

Investment policy and performance

Given the short-term nature of the Trust's grant-making activities, the Trustees have decided to invest immediately any surplus funds in UK-based deposit accounts with a reputable bank.

The deposit accounts offer security and ease of access to funds, together with a market-based interest rate.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The Trustees aim to achieve the Trust's long term objectives as laid out above including further work within the Badger and Cattle Vaccination Initiative through continued awarding of grants and working with successive governments.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

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).

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT

Independent Examiner’s Report to the trustees of The Save Me Trust

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023 which are set out on pages 6 to 15.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

THE SAVE ME TRUST

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General information, scope and basis of the financial statements

The Save Me Trust is an unincorporated charity constituted under a trust deed. The address of the principal office is given in the reference and administrative details section and the nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are given in the trustees' report.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

The charity does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.

For donations to be recognised the Charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the Charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.

Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the Charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.

Investment income consist of interest received or receivable and accrued at the balance sheet date when material.

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

THE SAVE ME TRUST

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Resources expended

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure 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. It is categorised under the following expenditure headings:

Grants payable to third parties are within the charitable objectives. Where unconditional grants are offered, this is accrued as soon as the recipient is notified of the grant, as this gives rise to a reasonable expectation that the recipient will receive the grants. Where grants are conditional relating to performance then the grant is only accrued when any unfulfilled conditions are outside of the control of the charity.

Support and governance costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Governance costs are those incurred in the governance of the charity and primarily associated with the constitution and statutory requirements.

VAT

The charity is not registered for VAT and is unable to recover VAT incurred. On this basis costs are recorded inclusive of VAT within the SOFA.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in sections 521 to 536 Income Tax Act 2007 (ITA 2007), as such no income tax is payable on the charity's activities.

Tangible assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on all fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:

Animal enclosures 25% reducing balance Fixtures and fittings 25% reducing balance Motor vehicles 25% reducing balance Computer and camera equip. 50% straight line

Debtors receivable and creditors payable within one year

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash at bank and in hand.

Page 9

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

THE SAVE ME TRUST

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Foreign currency

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Pounds Sterling at rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Pounds Sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction. Exchange gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted general funds are incoming resources receivable or generated for use in furtherance of the general objects of the charity without restriction.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in note 13 of these financial statements.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
