Objectives and activilies British Dalmatian Welfare aims to help. support. offer advice, and in some cases re-home Dalm3tl8n5 whatever their background or breeding. We liaise with local 3uthorities and other dog rescue charities with a Dalmatian in their care. On average we re-home SO Dalmatians a year and offer support to Dalmatian owners nationwide on a variety of issues from behaviour to feeding. Our major source of income is donations from adopters re-homing a Dalmatian and bequests. Other sources of income have included sales. fundraising and sponsored activities. As in previous years the veterinary fees continue to be the largest expense for neutering fees. general care and long-term medication for re-homed D21m?tians and, especially, support for owners as requested. This is the first year since the Covid 19 pandemic that we have been operating normally again. The demand for our help has been high and other rescue organIsat￿)nS are firKling the same. The increasing population of dogs and the recession has rnade the need for financial help very high. Fortunately, we do have the ftinds to 5UPPOrtthese needs. Due tothe support of all ourvolunteers our administration costs are kept to a minimum. The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Charity should undertake. Achlevements and performance This is the twenty first full year of operation since the Charity wa5 established. The main income is from donations and fundraising activities. Financial review It is the policy of the Charity that unrestritted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three- and six- month expenditure. The trustees consider that resetves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in fundin& they will be able to continue the ChariWs current activwties while consideration is given to ways in which additional fvnds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughoLrt the year. On behaSf of the board of trustees Trustee •￿￿•, Dated 291912023 BRMSH DALMATIAN WEIFARE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACT]VttlES.

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the application Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5)(b) of the Act. ## **Independent Examiners Statement** I have completed my examination. I can 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 Trust 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 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 proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
