The Southern Wildlife Care and Advisory Trust- Charlty Number 1091857 Operating as The Folly Wildlife Rescue Trust, Fairview Lane, TN3 9LU Trustees Annual Report lor the Year Ended 31" December 2021 Objectives and Artivities The Charity was formed to assist in the welf2re. relief of sufferinR and rehabilitation of orphaned, injured or sick British wildlife inasmuch as is a15owed by Government licence. At present this precludes the treatment of certain, but not 311. species presciibed to be non-indigenous. The overriding aim is to release back into the wild, animals admitted to the hospital. For the above purposes, the Charity has purpose built hospital premises in Broadwater Forest, near Tunbridge Wells, with permanent and part time staff including a veterinary surgeon who attends two days each week. There is a dedicated veterinary surgery with X-Ray fzcilities and the hospital is a registered veterinary practice. Th@ h05Pltal is open for admission5 every day ot the yeèr. In the year ended 31st December 2021 approximately 3,700 casualties were brought to the hospital In addition to remunerated staff, there are a large number of volunteers iNho attend the h05Pltal to assist with routine tasks and also those that volunteer to collect casualties and to return them for release where the members of the public who found them are unable to do so. The Trustees and Management acknowledge, with immense gratitude, the role played by volunteers without whom the current level of activity would iiot be possible. Public Beneflt The Trustees have due regard to the requirements of Charities Act 2011 that the activitie5 of the Charity must be for public benefit. Almost all casualties brought to the hospital are at the request of the public. Management The management team is responsible for the day to day running of the hospital, financial decisions and long term planning. The team con5iSts of David Risley, Elizabeth Chandler and Trisha Dale-jones who are full tirne remunerated employees. Annette Risley, a key member of the management team and one of the original founders of the harity wlth her husband, David, sadly died in January 2021. She was the driving force of the charitv both as a member of the management team and a virtually seven day a week, immensely gifted wildlife supervisor. It was hard to imagine how the void left by her death could be filled but, although she will be forever missed, the remaining team have successfully steered the charity through an extremely difficult period. A big thank you to them. Financial Re¥iew
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and the Statement of Recommended Practice, FRS 102 applicable to charities preparing their accounts in the UK. Covid restrietions and lockdowns during much of the year restricted face to face meetings with the public. This may have acted adversely on potential donations when admitting casualties. Similarly, fundraising opportunities were curtailed by the restrictions. ln spite of this, sundry donations were increased compared to the previous year when Covid restrictions were also in place. Legaty income was also substantially increased as compared to the previous year. In consequence, and although there wa5 aSso a substantial increase in expenditure, the Trustees were pleased to note a net £135,033 increase in income over expenditure. Thp General Flind at 31 DecÈrwitier 2021 was K447.3iL. aTter &••eing enhznced by a surplus OT incofiie over expenditure for the ye(Ir ended on Lha; da":e of i 35,033. -rhe ueiieral Fund analysis is as follows.. Utillsed to fund shortfall of Wildlife Centre Project reserve £162,962 Restricted funds from grants and donations 19,100 Designated fur..ds for planned building exten>ion and Summer salaries 118,986 'JnL,Psign2tpd general resp.vv 146,2$48 Total General F"Iiid £447,336 A major part of the Trust's receipts is from legdcv income, wPsich by its very nature 15 unprpdictabl? and volatile. Without such in¢¢me the Trusi ivould not be oble:o meet the level of runn',ng expenditure it curlently has and recognises that significant and prolonged fluctuations in legacy income would severely limit its capability to operate in the longer term. The undesignated general reserve is needed to protert against such fluctuations. Structure and Governance The charity is ali unincorporated association, governed by its trust deed dated 26, March 2002. New trustees are appointed by invitation from exi5tip.g trii>iees.
