Trustees Annual Report For the year ending 31 March 2021

Governing Document:

Caring for Cats (Yorkshire & Humber) is a registered charity governed by its Constitution which was adopted on the 28 January 2001 and amended on 17 May 2009.

Objectives and Activities

The charity's objectives and principal activities are to relieve the suffering of feral, stray and unwanted cats which are in need of care by reason of homelessness, maltreatment, abuse, imminent danger, illness or other causes.

Achievements and Performance

2020/21 was as for most of us a surreal period for our group of volunteers having to deal with the impact of the pandemic which resulted in us having to close the homing centre to the public for a several months and having to adopt new homing concepts based on appointments only, this had a massive impact but we are so proud to have rescued an amazing 102 cats & kittens in 2020 and first the 3 months of 2021. Many were saved from sadly desperate situations and around two thirds were reported to us as feral. The vast majority successfully found loving homes with new owners and families via our homing centre. Just a handful were returned to safe feral homes where they receive food, shelter and care as needed. All this was made possible by a dedicated team of unpaid volunteers and the generosity of our supporters, individuals and organisations/Trusts.

2020/21 has financially been very tough with us losing a lot of our mainstream fundraising streams notably the charity shop, open days, fundraising events etc. Despite that we have managed to continue operating albeit at a reduced throughput and having to prioritise the neediest cases.

We have been eligible for various pandemic grants to help with the charity shop costs whilst we have been closed and thankfully due to the publics support, grants and donations from Pet plan , Support adoption for Pets , Rose Animal welfare trust and many other individual donors along with some large legacies we are still in a financially strong position to continue the charities work.

One of the grants we received was to upgrade the heating and ventilation in the Market Weighton homing centre, work is planned to start later in 2021 to complete this project.

Achievements and Performance (continued)

Priority cases rescued included:

Neutering

We continue to support the local community with neutering any feral and stray cats that are reported to us including several feral colonies.

Feral focus

Ferals are widely mislabelled by many as cats able to survive outdoors and so are not in need of rescuing. Our work proves most are not untameable/feral, only frightened. Regardless of their ‘owner status’ our charity believes all have as much right to a life without uncontrolled breeding, hunger, disease and suffering as anyone’s pet cat. They will therefore continue to take priority on our waiting list and represent up to two thirds of our admissions.

Long-term foster cats

Our long term foster scheme currently cares for 21 cats. These are cats that are very elderly, traumatised, or that have come into our care with chronic medical conditions which have been controlled and managed with medication, and are now living in new long term foster homes. Fosterers may not be able to take on the full responsibility and costs of cat ownership but can give care and love, whilst the charity continues to cover any veterinary costs.

The cat sponsorship scheme we run alongside this as vital fundraising is also moderately successful, and each year around 48 sponsorships are donated at £60 each. Many of these kind people are local and have become annual sponsors. But donors have come from as far afield as USA and New Zealand, having found us online and been touched by the cats’ stories and situations.

Charity improvements

The website continues to be an important channel to engage with supporters and help rehome our rescued cats. Over 40% of visitors to our homing centre have first viewed our website and clicked on the ‘cat gallery of animals for adoption’. Google searches which return our website are also a notable source of people calling for free advice about how to care for feral or stray cats. Many calls are from out of the area, showing how well our website is performing on Google for keywords. This does however add to the workload for the Co-ordinator, a volunteer herself with multiple disabilities and health problems.

The charity is striving to keep the majority of the roles within the charity voluntary to ensure that our funds go directly to the welfare of the cats. We still employ a cat care assistant part time (16 hours a week) A shop manager is employed to run our charity shop in Beverley which continues to do well and is a valuable source of income.

Lastly, the charity is committed to maintaining and building relationships with our supporting local veterinary practices, Battle Flatts and Swanbridge. The high levels of expertise and care provided by individual vets help us advance our cat welfare standards and further enhance our local reputation as an ethical cat shelter.

Main objectives for the following year:

In developing the main objectives for the following year the Trustees have given regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.

The following have been identified as the main aims to work towards in 2020-21:

Financial Review

Reserves Policy

The trustees have carried out a review of the reserves and aim to maintain a reserve equivalent to 25% of annual expenditure. We will work towards trying to achieve this.

Trustees Annual Report For the year ending 31 March 2021

Investment Policy

Aside from building up a prudent amount in reserves each year most of the charity's funds are to be spent in the short term so there are few funds for long term investment. A review of investment policies is undertaken at the end of each financial year.

Independent Examiner

Our Independent Examiner for the year was Sian Broughton ACMA, CGMA, DChA, MAAT of Phoenix Accountancy and Business Consultancy Limited, a subsidiary of East Riding Voluntary Action Services (ERVAS) Ltd. A resolution to reappoint Phoenix Accountancy and Business Consultancy will be proposed at the forthcoming annual general meeting.

Declaration

The Trustees of the charity are pleased to present their report together with the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021. The accounts comply with current statutory requirements, the governing document and the Statement of Recommended Practice – Accounting and Reporting by Charities.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Members of Caring for Cats (Yorkshire and Humber)

I report on the accounts of Caring for Cats (Yorkshire and Humber) for the period ended 31 March 2021, which are set out on pages 9 to 21.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Independent examiner’s statement

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

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.

Notes to the financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2021

1. Accounting policies

1.1. Basis of Preparation

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 (FRS102) (effective 1[st] January 2019) – (Charities SORP (FRS102)) and the financial reporting standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102).

Caring for Cats (Yorkshire & Humber) meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

1.2. Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Interest Receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank

1.3. Fund Accounting

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors. Restricted funds are accounted for separately to each other and to the core funding of the company.

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the directors in the furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

1.4. Allocation of Support Costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the Charities activities.

Due to the level of materiality of allocating support costs to the costs of fundraising, these costs have all been allocated to charitable activities. A full breakdown of all costs related to Charitable Activities has been provided in Note 3.

Notes to the financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2021

1.5. Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1.8. Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due .

1.9. Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

1.10. Taxation

In accordance with Paragraph 1 of Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010, the Charity is a charity for tax purposes and is generally exempt from Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax, but not from VAT.

15. Going Concern

The Trustees consider the Charity to be a going concern. The Charity runs a successful charity shop, the income of which contributes towards the charitable activities of the charity.

In addition, donation income has continued to increase which allows the Charity to support more cats in need across the area.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic our two main funding revenues were severely reduced as we have had to temporarily close the Charity Shop and fundraising events and open days and fundraising events have not been able to go ahead due to National Lockdowns, however increased grants and donations have made up for this shortfall during the current year.
