The Labrador Rescue Trust (Registered number: 04145991)
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 September 2021
The trustees are pleased to present their report together with the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2021. The trustees' report also represents the directors' report required by Section 415 of the Companies Act 2006. The reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report.
SUMMARY
The background against which the Trust operated in the year ended 30th September 2021 was very significantly affected by the Covid 19 pandemic. The effects upon the Trust were outlined in the Trustees’ Report for the year ended 30th September 2020 but bear repeating.
The Government restrictions and the need to ensure that the volunteers upon whom the Trust depends were not put at risk meant that the normal pattern of fundraising activities, home visits and face to face meetings to assess dogs coming into the care of the Trust and potential foster homes were not possible. In March 2020 the Trustees took the decision to suspend the normal operational work of the Trust except in the case of emergencies. The various amendments to the Covid regulations and guidance meant that it was impossible to return to normal and the focus of the operational work of the Trust had to be emergency cases.
Whilst there has been a small increase in dogs requiring rehoming over the past few months the Trust must address the overall trend in that the number of dogs coming in to rescue has declined significantly in the last decade. The Trust remains however financially sound and the Trustees continue to review the activities of the Trust and the way in which it should evolve over the next five years in order to fulfil its objects.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objects of the Trust are:
"To alleviate suffering and distress caused to dogs and in particular the breed known as Labradors which may be ill-treated, abandoned, rejected or neglected."
To date the Trust has concentrated almost exclusively on the rescue and re-homing of labradors, which will remain the core activity of the Trust but for the reasons set out below, the following amendment has been submitted to the Charity Commission for their consent
(a) to alleviate suffering and distress caused to dogs which may be ill-treated, abandoned, rejected or neglected; and
(b) to promote the welfare of dogs and responsible dog ownership.
"Dogs" shall be defined to mean in particular but without limitation, the breed known as Labrador Retriever.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 September 2021
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Achievements and performance
The Trust re-homed 60 dogs in the twelve months to 30th September 2021. 15 dogs were accepted onto the SAD scheme and 3 dogs were returned to the Trust. In the four months since the year end there has been an increase in the number of dogs coming into rescue: 29 dogs have come into rescue, 4 have been accepted as SAD dogs and 5 have been returned to the Trust. If dogs continue to come into rescue at the same rate, the Trust will have dealt with approximately double the number of dogs in the year to 30th September, but still nowhere close to 2019 levels. It appears that the principal reason for the large increase is the ending of lockdown but the Trustees consider that the Trust is in a strong position to meet the increased demand for its services.
Veterinary expenditure continues to be the most significant cost. Expenditure of £2,988 (2020: £3,333) is attributable to the 'Snip & Chip' campaign and the costs of neutering. The remaining expenditure is accounted for by charitable contributions to veterinary costs in situations where those costs would be otherwise unaffordable. The Trust continues to monitor this trend closely and to do everything possible to control these costs without compromising the welfare of the dogs.
Kennelling costs have decreased by 6% due to fewer dogs coming in to rescue where homes are not available.
The reserves as at 30 September 2021 are £748,387 (2020 - £644,908).
All restricted funds have been expended in the year.
The computer based records continue to provide insight into the age, colour and sex of dogs coming into our care on an area by area basis. Details of neutering and microchipping are also recorded and all data is analysed on a regular basis.
The Trustees are confident that there are sufficient reserves and continuing donations, legacies, covenants and subscriptions to ensure the financial security of the Trust and its ability to meet the predicted increase in dogs coming into rescue. The Trustees are aware that the current level of reserves exceeds the amount considered appropriate in the reserves policy and are taking steps (outlined later in this report) to increase the level of charitable expenditure.
Public benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
Strategic review
The board continues to review its strategic direction and objectives. In particular the board keeps under review the fifteen questions for trustees prescribed by the Charities Commission.
In view of the current balance sheet and reserves position the trustees are reviewing an expansion of the Trusts activities in respect of training our volunteer base and in providing education and training in dog welfare, nutrition and behaviour to our homes and supporters.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial review
Income for the year was £199,296 (2020: £178,011). Expenditure was £106,398 (2020: £112,420). Net surplus for the year was £103,479 (2020: £68,769).
The expenditure for the year has not dropped significantly despite the reduction in the number of dogs coming in to rescue because the majority of the Trust's expenditure relates to recurring veterinary fees for SAD (Supported Adopted Dogs) .
The current accounts and the gold deposit account earned a total of £48 in interest (2020: £454). The daily 'sweep' facility ensures that funds not required for day to day operations are held in the gold deposit account and an investment fund. The Trustees continue to review investment opportunities for surplus funds.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Investment policy and objectives
Investments are held in a managed fund through an independent financial adviser. The portfolio is medium risk and has returned a gain on investment of £10,581 (2020: £3,178). The value of this investment had decreased due to the Covid-19 pandemic but gains were made in the first half of 2021 as the market recovered. The investment policy will remain cautious whilst the markets are volatile
Reserves policy
The charity relies on voluntary donations and legacies that can fluctuate from year to year. The Trustees consider that it is important to hold reserves to ensure that operations can continue in the event of short term falls in income.
The reserves or free reserves of the charity represent the funds that are freely available to be spent on the charity's objects. They do not include restricted funds or funds that can only be realised by the sale of tangible fixed assets used for charity use.
The number of dogs that are in foster is monitored on a weekly basis. Such dogs may develop long-term illnesses and there may be a requirement for expensive veterinary treatment. It is considered prudent to hold sufficient additional reserves to fund 6 months operation in the absence of any income. This equates to approximately £60,000 required for total free reserves. Due to legacies received free reserves are now £616,227 (2020: £522,255). Free reserves are calculated by deducting fixed assets from the unrestricted (and undesignated) reserves held at the year-end.
The profile of dogs currently coming into rescue is such that they may require higher expenditure in respect of veterinary and behavioural costs and the level of reserves that are held in the coming years may need to be increased but there is nevertheless scope for the planned expansion of the activities of the Trust.
The Trustees are actively reviewing investment opportunities.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 September 2021
FUTURE PLANS AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE ACTIVITIES
The Trust has seen a consistent fall in the number of dogs coming into rescue since 2014:
2014 442 2015 308 2016 211 2017 137 2018 143 2019 111 2020 92 2021 60
A reduction in the number of dogs coming in to rescue could be seen simply as good news but, in common with many dog rescue charities, the Trustees believe that the figures do not represent the true picture. Unwanted pets are increasingly sold on-line using websites such as Gumtree and Pre-Loved and the inflated prices for dogs during the lockdown is thought likely to exacerbate this problem in the future.
At the same time there appears to have been a rise in dog ownership during lockdown and the Trustees are concerned about the lack of reliable information about the care and training of labradors for new owners and that there may be a rise in the number of unwanted dogs in the coming years.
The number of dogs that have come into rescue since 1st October 2021 is 39. If this trend continues there will be a significant increase over the year as a whole but the financial position of the Trust is such that it can consider an expansion of its activities to enhance the expertise of its volunteers by providing in-person and online training and to provide education and training in dog welfare, nutrition and behaviour to dog owners, and prospective owners and to those with whom the Trusts' dogs are re-homed. The aim is that this training will be delivered by trusted professionals through both in-person and online formats.
Trustees are therefore developing the activities of the Trust to meet the new challenges under three strands or "Pillars":
PILLAR I
The main focus of the Trust will remain the rescue and re-homing of labradors. It has carried out this activity successfully since its foundation in 1988 and the Trust needs to be prepared for an increase in the number of dogs coming into rescue in the next 18 months to 3 years. However, there is some doubt that dogs requiring rehoming will reach the numbers of a few years ago. All three pillars should therefore contribute to raising awareness of the Trust and the help it can offer.
PILLAR II
In the light of the increase in dog ownership, the Trust will develop an updated, reformatted website to provide more information and education about dog owning, training, nutrition and general welfare, with an emphasis upon the issues that relate particularly to labradors.eg. obesity, arthritis.
PILLAR III
Pillar III is to discourage the disposal of unwanted dogs through websites such as GumTree and Pre-loved. Direct interventions by contacting the owners of dogs advertised for sale through these sites to persuade them to allow them to be re-homed through the Trust have been unsuccessful and the Trustees are considering other ways to discourage the sale /disposal of dogs in this way.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 September 2021
The Trustees recognise that progress in the development of the Trust and the ways in which it can best achieve its objects is slower than they would like. The Trustees are however very conscious that the decisions which they take at this point will direct the work of the Trust for a significant time and it is important that the decisions are fully considered. It is also critical that the new structure of the Trust outlined below is properly embedded to allow the new initiatives to develop.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
Structure
The Trust is a company limited by guarantee registered at Companies House with company number 04145991 and registered with the Charity Commission with registered number 1088918. The governing document of the Trust is its articles of association, which were adopted on incorporation on 23rd January 2001.
The Trust has a wholly owned, dormant trading subsidiary, Labrador Rescue (Trading) Limited.
The memorandum and articles provide for a minimum of 3 and no maximum number of trustees. The Trustees are also members of the company and their liability is limited to the extent of £10 each.
The region in which the Trust operates comprises Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Wiltshire, Dorset, Bristol and Bath and parts of the Forest of Dean, Berkshire, Hampshire and Oxfordshire. It was previously divided into six Areas, each with an Area Co-ordinator to manage the rescue and re-homing of dogs within that Area.
The reduction in the number of dogs coming into rescue has led the Trustees to the conclusion that there is no longer a need to divide the region in which it operates into Areas and that the administration of the Trust can be simplified.
An Operations Manager will now be responsible for the co-ordination of volunteers across the Region. It is proposed that the role of Operations Manager and Deputy should be full time, paid posts to cover evenings and weekends. This will ensure we can carry on delivering our activities, regardless of individuals and provide a continuity of consistent service, with adequate cover.
The Operations Manager will report directly to the Trustees.
The Trust is indebted to its unpaid volunteers or “Helpers”, without which it could not function as it does. The changes will not affect how the “Helpers” operate but they will now deal directly with the Operations Manager instead of the relevant Area Co-ordinator. There are currently approximately 110 Helpers who are primarily involved with the collection and re-homing of dogs. A revised categorisation of Volunteers helping with the operation of the Trust and introduction of Volunteer Roles will help us focus internal and external training and ensure we are training the right people for the right role.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 September 2021
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governance
The Articles of Association require the Trustees to meet at least three times a year.
The Trustees have overall responsibility for the Trust and in particular
(i)To ensure that the activities of the Trust meet the objects of the Trust and to set policy in that regard;
(ii) To monitor the financial and ethical performance of the Trust and
(iii) To regulate expenditure in order to ensure that the Trust is on a sound financial footing.
Formal Terms of Reference and a Code of Conduct for board members and honorary officers have been adopted. There is a Code of Conduct for members of the Management Committee. A complaints procedure is in place.
Policy is decided by the trustees in light of recommendations by the operations committee. The Trustees appoint the chair and treasurer. The Trustees meet either virtually or in person at least three times a year and at least one Trustee attends all Operations Committee meetings.
The Trustees review the skills of the Trustees from time to time and were pleased to appoint Mrs J Oatley, a veterinary surgeon, to the Board in October 2020.
Management
New trustees are appointed by the existing Board and are interviewed by two trustees prior to being nominated for appointment. New trustees are briefed on their legal obligations under charity and company law and provided with a copy of the memorandum and articles of association.
Key Management Remuneration
The Labrador Rescue Trust does not have any employees but engages two self employed persons to assist with record keeping and financial administration.
Risk management
The Trustees continue to monitor the major strategic and operational risks to which the charity is exposed.
The major operational risk in the year 2020/2021 remained the health and safety of the Helpers as a result of Covid-19. The Trustees concluded that the risks inherent in home visits could not be mitigated during lockdown and that there was no option but to suspend home visits except for emergencies. The easing of the lockdown restrictions meant that the normal activities of the Trust were resumed.
There are also a number of risks identified in respect of ensuring the consistent and smooth running of our operational activities where we are reliant on a small number of dedicated volunteers. The strategic plan has been put in place to mitigate these risks and ensure that the welfare of dogs is not compromised.
The Trustees do not consider that the Trust is currently facing any financial risks The reserves policy states that reserves amounting to 6 months expenditure should be set aside and in any event should reserves fall below £100k the Operations Committee must immediately provide a programme of cost reduction which is acceptable to the Board in the light of the shortfall.
The Trustees are aware that the current reserves exceed the amount required by the reserves policy but consider that this is prudent due to the increasing number of dogs requiring ongoing financial support for veterinary care and to be able to develop the work identified as Pillars II and III.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
The charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':
- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance Computer equipment - 25% on reducing balance
Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Cash at bank and in hand
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.
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.
Realised gains and losses
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and opening market value (purchase date if later). Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the market value at the period end and the opening market value (or purchase date if later).
