Northumberland Greyhound Rescue
– Trustee Report 2022 Charity Commission Update
Northumberland Greyhound Rescue (NGR) has a cash balance of £194,314.68 at close of financial year 2022 (dated 31[st] December 2022). The entire balance is at the disposal of the charity should it be needed; nothing is being held in reserve but all expenditure is subject to review by the executive committee. The charity has no debtors but unforeseen expenditure may occur.
The charity had a significant increase on cash reserves during 2022 after being named as one of the beneficiaries from the estate of a supporter. This was a one off and the charity does not expect it to be a regular source of income. In keeping with past financial history, the next major income comes from the set adoption fee that is asked of members of the public when dogs are rehomed, this income in entirely dependent on the amount of dogs that are found new homes.
The Greyhound Board of Great Britain bond scheme provides a cash bond payment for any racing Greyhound that has been registered and requires rehoming at the end of their racing career, the charity benefitted from this source but not all the Greyhounds that arrive with the charity are covered by this scheme
The majority of expenditure in 2022 has been for kennel bills, vets bills and associated costs for the daily running of the charity. All expenditure is made to ensure the continued welfare of dogs that come into the charity’s care
Changes in 2022
No change – all income, with the exception of the inheritance outlined above - and the expenditure, is considered normal for the financial period being reported on
Future Plans
2023 will continue the same, with minor expenditure on insurances and professional fees along with some small reimbursements for upfront expenditure being made by NGR volunteers. The amount of rescue dogs in the kennels is regularly reviewed and future income and expenditure will be largely dependent on the amount of dogs kennelled versus the amount that gets homed
