## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The objectives of the charity are: 

- 1) The care and protection of dogs which are in need of care and attention by reason of homelessness, maltreatment, poor circumstances, ill-usage or similar causes, and the prevention of cruelty to and suffering among dogs. 

- 2) The education of the public as to humane principles and correct treatment of dogs. 

## **Public benefit reporting** 

When reviewing the charity’s objectives and aims in planning future activities the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public bene fit. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

Keith’s Rescue Dogs is a charity devoted to the welfare of unwanted and abandoned dogs. We are based in Lincolnshire and re‐home mainly in the local area, we would however consider re‐homing further afield for dogs that have been with the charity for a long time. 

During the year the charity continued to provide welfare for and rescue and re- home ill‐treated and abandoned dogs in the area. Dogs were customarily collected from council pounds, however, more recently since microchipping was made compulsory, the majority of dogs tend to originate from owners who have to part with their dog for reasons such as  'moving to a new property and can't take the dog, taking full time employment,  or a baby on the way, people dying. 

Home-checks are carried out before the dogs are re-homed. 

The charity operates a shop based in Skegness to raise funds and this is maintained by volunteers who give their time freely to help raise funds for the charity. Funds are also received by donations and from events held e.g. Tombola. 

In a previous year the charity received a very generous legacy which has proved to be a vital lifeline for the charity during the Covid pandemic, especially with the shop having to be closed for periods of time due to Government imposed restrictions and the restrictions on holding fundraising events. The charity did receive some support from the government in respect of covid related grants. 

Sadly, our founder, Keith Smith, passed away after the year end and will be greatly missed. Keith’s focus throughout has been upon the rescuing and re- homing of abandoned dogs including dogs on ‘Death Row’ (due for destruction from local council pounds) as well as dogs that have been neglected and those subjected to extreme cruelty (e.g., beaten, thrown from moving cars, and tied to trees - the list is almost endless…). 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

The reserves policy of the charity is to maintain unrestricted funds of the charity at a sufficient level which enables the charity to be able to operate. 

The results for the year are shown in the receipts and payments account on page 4.  The total reserves at the end of the year amounted to £321,406 and it is the charity’s policy to maintain reserves to produce sufficient income to rescue and rehome dogs in accordance with its objects

Keith’s Rescue Dogs is constituted by a Declaration of Trust dated 19 June 2002. The charity was registered with the Charity Commission on 30 July 2002.

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Keith’s Rescue Dogs** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2021 which are set out on pages 5 to 7. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

## **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 giving 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.

## **KEITH’S RESCUE DOGS** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Keith’s Rescue Dogs** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2021 which are set out on pages 5 to 7. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **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 giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records. 

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.
