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 2019). Foreword From Margaret Eames - Chair of Trustees Firstly, as always I want to say a huge thank you to our supporters, volunteers and staff who have helped the charity continue to make such a positive and significant impact on working equids in Israel, the Occupied Palestinian Territories and the El Saf brick kilns of Egypt. As we mentioned in last yearfs report, the charity now has a reserve fund to help us provide for both the animals in our care and those thal rely on the mobile clinics in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and Egypt should economic conditions deteriorate. That decision has proved to be extremely sensible due to the events that have continued to unfold in the Middle East. Thankfully, we are in a much better position now to safeguard the animals at our facilities and those that we reach out to in the community. We have also had a busy year implementing some of the new projects we wanted to get off the ground new rescue centre for the animals we care for in the West Bank, upgrades to the sanctuary in Israel and adding a second mobile clinic team to our project in the El Saf brick kilns in Egypt, as well as setting up mobile first aid clinic in the Gaza strip. As any other charity. the board review risks at each Trustee meeting and in 2023 we were able lo address a number of outstanding issues. We are now on a much more secure financial footing and the charity continues to comply with all the financial regulations surrounding ils day to day running. Our work would not be possible without the wisdom and expertise of our Trustees and l am hugely grateful for their time and commitment. We are currently recruiting new Trustees to join us on the Board and I will bring you news of these in my next report. The efforts of our staff in the UK, Israel, the Occupied Palestinian Territories and now Egypt are truly an inspiration. Seeing the circumstances in which they cary out their work is humbling and l arn proud to be associated with each and every one of them. Once again, thank you to all our supporters who make this all possible. Page 1 SAFE HAVEN FOR DONKEYS IN THE HOLY LAND REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2024 OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Update From Andy Foxcroft - Chief Executive Aller 2 years of planning, our n)obile clinic in Gaza finally began ils work lo provide free Irealmenl to working donkeys and horses which have become such an important pari ol everyday life. lollowing the horrors of October 7th. 2023, marking the start of the war, working equids are often the only means of affordable Iransporl for Ihe population. They are iinportanl for food and water distribution arjd for carrying people injured in the conflict lo liospilal. Since the clinic sl8rted in April 2024, we have rec.eived so many hearibreaking stories from our team leader. Dr Saif, about Ihe heroic efforts of Ihe aninials which are often malnoLirished due lo the lack ol suitable food. During 2024, Ihe team provided first aid lo over 7,000 donkeys and horses, plus many other animals that were brought lo the clinic by their owners. Our team were not immune to the effects of the war and some have been Injured by missile strikes in the area where they work - Khan Younis although all are thankfully recovered now. Iii March 2024. Safe Haven for Donkeys managed to get a shipment of much needed dog. cat and horse feed into Gaza. We were able to achieve Ihis thanks lo our amazing team in Egypt, who worked with two humanitarian cSiarilies that offered us space on Iheir wagons delivering aid lo the population of Gaza. We also formed an alliance with 2 other charities, Animal Heros in the Nelheilands and Animal Aid Without Borders in Finland, lo buy even more food. This second shipment has sadly been prevented from enlerirng Gaza and is currently held in a warehouse al the Rafah border crossing We also purchased urgently needed Inimal medication5 lor both shipments althoiigh none of these have been allowed in as yel. So, our team are doing whal Ihcy can lo relieve the SLiffering of the animals Ihal are so important to the commuiiily for their very exislence. Our leams in the Wesl Bank have continued Iheii work despile an increascd number of checkpoints that have been eslciblishccl belwpen Ilie main cities. Tkiese liave increased the joiirney limes lor our mobile clinics bul I'm pleased lo say that IhoLssands ol workiiig donkeys and horses have still received Irealmenl. Vvhilst I was unable lo Liavel lo our West Bank clinics during 2024, 1 did manage a couple of visits lo our sancluary in Israel which, during the course of the year, has been refurbished. New fences, a larger paddock with upgraded water and feed lacililies and much more. To spend time with the 180 rescued donkey5 there is such an uplilling experience Ihrlt's quite diflicull lo describe. Watching them go about their daily life is lascinaling and Ihey icre always pleased lo see visitors and inleracl with us despile Iheir experiences w5th humans in former lives. Clso travelled several limes to OLir projecls in Egypt where Ihe team are really building a very strong progiamme of work. Their efforls in the brick kilns of El Saf are really transforming the lives of the donkeys Ihere. At Ihe start of Iheir work in 2023, they assessed each kiln which was RAG (Red, Amber, Greenl scored This relates to the level of ils standard of animal welfare with most being Red (very poorl and a few Amber and Green (acceptable). In the course of one year, the team have turned that aroijnd meclning that there are now more Amber and Green kilns than there are Red. I've added some figures below to highlight this incredible achievement. rollowiriy Ilie welfare cissessinenl in 2023.

You can see the results of our work in the kilns by watching a film made by our Patron, actor and animal activist, Peter Egan and Andrew Telling of Orange Pictures. The film, which is the second in the series, is called 'Bricks' and can be found on Safe Haven for Donkeys YouTube channel. New exciting projects have been planned in Egypt for 2025 and I will cover these in more detail next year. Supporters of our charity can be certain that the money they donate is being used to transform the lives of working donkeys, mules and horses in some of the harshest environments of the world. Thank you! We could not do this without your generous support. Objectives and aims To improve the welfare of donkeys and other equids in the State of Israel and the Palestinian National Authority or their successors in name and sovereignty and in any additional countries where the Directors feel the need is sufficient to warrant either running the charity's own projects or partnering with local NGOS. The Vbsion of Safe Haven for Donkeys: A world where all working donkeys, horses and other equids are healthy, without injury and well cared for. Our Mission is: To use our resources, expertise and experience to ensure all animals we come into contact with are provided with suitable care and treatment so Ihey can live and work without pain and discomfort. We will also pass our knowledge on to owners and communities to bring about long-term and sustainable improvements to animal welfare. What are Safe Haven's values? -we are compassionate - wherever we see animals suffering or in need of our help, we will act. -we are professional - our staff are experts in their field and everything we do is led by veterinary science. -we act as partners our job is not to lecture owners. but to work together and empower them lo better care for their animals. -we are grateful - every single penny donated to our charity is precious and we use our resources wisely. Page 3 SAFE HAVEN FOR DONKEYS IN THE HOLY LAND REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2024 ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities The Trustees of Safe Haven for Donkeys in the Holy Land approved the transfer of funds to 15rael. the Palestinian Territories and Egypt to support the increasing work undertaken by Ihe nol-for-profil organisation the 'Holy Lclnd Donkeys Trust" the Palestinian Territories 'Donkeys Trusl Co" and the "Alan Project" Egypt. By the end of December 2024, the Holyland Donkeys Trust was caring for on average 180 donkeys al the sanLluary al Moshav Gan Yoshiyya, located belween the Israp.I towns of Nelanya and Hadera and only a few miles froin the Palestinian bolder. There werp al%0 around 35 animals being cared for al the Donkeys Trust Co's rescue centre in tho Palestinian village of Arrana which was opened in November 2023 to house the animals previously cared for al the charity's clinic in the city of Nablus. All donkeys al the sanctuary and rescue centre receive regular veterinary care, vaccinations, visits from the farrier and undergo regular dental check-ups. Donkeys are only ever eulhanised if. in the opinion of our veterinary surgeon and ratified by the Directors of the Holyland Donkeys Trust in Israel and Donkeys Trust Co in the Palestinian Territories, their quality of life is sufficiently low to warrant this. Our clinic in the Palestinian city of Nablus continues to be extremely busy, particularly on Thursdays when the nearby donkey market is in operation. The teams also hold regular veterinary outreach clinics in various locations in the Palestinian Territories using three mobile clinic vehicles which between them cover the whole country_ In addition lo free veterinary Irealmenl, working equines are offered vaccina110ns, shoeing and dental work. The cliarily'8 team also repair harnesses and head collars, or provide new ones at a nominal r.harge, as ill-filling equipment is so often the cause of wounds. Education is ali important pari of OLJr work and the N8blus cliiiic has hosled veterinary sludenls from the nearby univorsily cls W?11 as visits by children from local schools and refugee camps. Our Palestinian team arè reaching around 1.000 donkeys a month and staff and Trustees are confidenl that the overall welfare of working equids in the region has improved as a direct result of Safe Haven's inlervenlion. This is supported by evidence that clearly shows a reduced nLimber of trealrnents required on return visits lo each area. In 2023. we sel up a new project in parlnership wilh a local NGO lo bring velerinary services lo equids working in the brick kilns in the El Saf region ol Egypt. This is run under name "the Alan Project" In 2024, a second mobile clinic leam was added. In the UK, costs have been kept as low as possible, with the only employees being a full time Operations Direclor who handlos the day lo day running of the charily in the UK including fundraising, PR and administration, a Social Media Officer who looks after the charity's social media inleraclions and a parl time Administration Assistant who deals wilh banking donations and thank you lellers_ We also have a parl time CEO who focuses on organisalional development and delivering the strategy. The percentage ol funds spent on direct care of working animals in in the countries in which we operate is Increasing ye¢lr on yp.clr. Diiring 20?4, we have continued lo reducp costs al the sanctuary wilhoul comproniising our anirnal welf1cre standards. We have achieved this through negotiations with currenl supplicrs lo lind more cosl-efleclive ways of providing their goods or relendering scJrvices lo erisure we are gclling bcsl value for money.

Page 4 SAFE HAVEN FOR DONKEYS IN THE HOLY LAND REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2024 FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial position As at 31 December 2024, the charity had available unrestricted reserves of £1,134,137,60 plus £821.661.28 in longer-term investments. A large proportion of these unrestricted reserves were allocated towards the new projects the charity plans to implement during 2025 and beyond and as a contingency to allow time to find new homes for the donkeys should anything happen to the charity's sister organisations in Israel or the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The Directors are aware that these funds alone are not enough to cover the charity's planned expenditure for 2025 and so a robust fundraising strategy has been put into place to ensure that future income continues to increase. This includes continuing to engage the services of a dedicated freelance fundraising consultanl to increase income and the number of donors on the charity's database and the services of a PR consultant to help raise awareness of the charity's work. Year 2024 review Following a clean audit of the last eight years, annual accounts thanks to the implementation of more stringent financial processes in Israel and the Palestinian Territories, Ihe Directors of the Holyland Donkeys Trust and the Directors of Safe Haven for Donkeys in the Holy Land have continued to ensure that these procedures remain rigorous and are strictly enforced. In July 2016, a "not for profit company for the public benefiv, was set up in Israel, known as the Holyland Donkeys Trust. This type of company, which has similar tax status to a charity, is stricdy controlled by the Israeli authorities. Although the Holyland Donkeys Trust is based in Israel, with Israeli and UK directors, the UK directors appointed by Safe Haven for Donkeys in the Holy Land have the controlling votes regarding the overall policies and running of the Israeli company. A company has also been set up in the Palestinian Territories to allow for direct payment of wages to staff and funds to suppliers, this is known as th&"Donkeys Trust Co" In Egypt, funds are sent to our project partners, th8 local NGO 'AI Jisrf, who operate the work under the title "The Atan Project.. All three organisations supply audited accounts to Safe Haven for Donkeys in the Holy Land so that we can ensure our grants are being used for the purpose for which they were given. We have continued to make progress towards implementing our strategic plan and achieved the following to date.. -set up two new mobile clinics in the Palestinian Territories to enable us to reach more working donkeys and horses in need of veterinary care -Developed a research project in the Palestinian Territories to examine how our work improves animal welfare standards which will be delivered in 2025 -continued to deliver training on the ground to owners and professionals to create more awareness of the needs of working donkeys and horses -Launched a Hebrew website to help us raise awareness of our work and generate funds locally -continued to rehome donkeys in the Palestinian Territories where we are completely satisfied that it is in the best interests of the animals -set up a new project in the El Saf brick kilns of Egypt -set up a first aid mobile clinic in the Gaza strip Year 2025 onwards The Directors of the UK charity have continued to monitor every aspect of the Holy Land Donkey Trust's work in Israel. the Donkeys Trust Co's work in the Palestinian Territories and the Atan Project's work in Egypt during the past year. The strategic plan continues to be implemented. Donke and Horse Welfare Page 5 SAFE HAVEN FOR DONKEYS IN THE HOLY LAND REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2024 We know that there is so much more to do in the Palestinian Territories, Egypt and beyond to support working donkeys and horses and the communities Ihal (hey serve. Changing mindsets around animal husbandry is one of the biggest challenges our teams. face allhough there is a very clear indication that the current model of delivering services is making a positive and lasting impact to animal welfare Therefore, during 2025 we will conlinue lo expand our aclivilies in areas where working animals need our help. We will ensure our teams are given tlie necessary Iraining and eqLiipmenl lo carry out their lasks. Upgrclding Ihe SanctLiary As (he herd ages, nuinbers are sl8rling lo fall and Iherefore, the need lor exlra Space is not so pressing. 11 was therefore decided lo remain al the exisling sile and a comprehensive programme of improvements was Linderlaken IN 2024. including Ihe provision of Improved visilor facilities. New Arrana facilily Al the end 012023, the donkeys which were housed al OLir clinic in Nablus {mosl ol which were unwanted or abandoned by Iheir previous owners) were Iranslerred to a new facility in the Palestinian village of Arrana. The possibilily of moving some donkeys from the sancluary in Israel across the border lo Arrana will be explored in 2025 and beyond. as will the possibility of buying land in the Paleslinian Territories, although these plans have been impacted by the current polilical situation in the region. Research A Iwo-parl research project gol underway in 2022 starting wilh some work around the people and cominiinilies who use our services in the Wesl Bank. Through this we hope lo beller understand why working equids are so imporlanl lo Ihe local economy, whal Ihe main barriers are lo providing care and crucially. how Safe Haven can help lo provide more informalion lo improve welfare. The nexl phase will look Inore closely al Ihe ilMPclcI ol our mobile clinics on Ihe long-lerm welfare ol animals.

We aim lo lake advanlcige of Ihis with ongoing regLilar visits lo Ihe sanclLiary lo support our local velerinary team in ensiiring Ihal the residenl animals are receiving Ihe best possible care. Effectiveness of fundraising activities Tlie whole of Ilie charity's income is derived from fundraising activities. The main locus is fundraising from Individuals, Ihe communily and granl-mcikirng Irusls. The UK Oporations Director lias responsibility for fundraising from granl-making Irusls, encouraging supporis to consider leaving legacies, liaising with major donors, attending events, PR (giving talks lo local groups elcl, organising events, liaising with major donors, fundraising on social media and producing the charity's newsletter. The Social Media Officer has day lo day responsibility for social media. Total income for 2024 averaged just over £123,490 per month, the bulk of which was from legacies, donations received following the distribution of quarterly newsletters and donations as a result of Facebook Iclivities. There were also donalions from granl-rnaking trusts, proceeds from events and donations and general m¢1rkcling aclivilies.

The charity's sole corporate trustee is Safe Haven for Donkeys in the Holy Land Trustee Limited. In Israel, a not-for-profit company, the Holyland Donkeys Trust, was set up in July 2016 into which all the non-UK assets have been transferred. Although this company is still controlled by the UK charity, it complies with all necessary Israeli laws. In addition to the greater control this provides over activities in15rael, it has also unlocked the necessary tax advantages and the ability to fundraise in Israel. There is also a limited company known as the Donkeys Trusl Co in the Palestinian Territories. Due to strict financial controls being in place both organisations have had successful independent audits that meet legal requirements for the period January to December 2024. Recrubtment and appolntment of new trustees The limited company "Safe Haven for Donkeys in the Holy Land Trustee Limited" became sole corporate trustee of the charity in September 2016. The charity is therefore governed by the volunteer Directors of the limited company, and new members are elected by existing Directors. Directors receive induction training on being elected to the Board and continued training on an ongoing basis through the chaiity's Director meetings.
