## **NGR Treasurer Report AGM Mon 13/04/2026** ## _2025 income highlights:_ Income and expenditure up on 2024 figures, however overall balance increased from Jan 2025 to EOY Dec 2025. Assets in charity savings accounts remained static but earned £5238 in interest over the period. GBGB Bond scheme continues to be the biggest income stream for NGR, followed by adoption donations from people who have rehomed dogs. Other income comes from donations through online platforms and donations generated through activities where the charity engages the public and supporters hosting events with the intention of donating the proceeds to the cause ## _2024 expenditure highlights:_ Biggest regular spend throughout the year is kennel bills, these costs increased in 2025. NGR has to be fluid with the amount of dogs they have in kennels, as soon as one gets adopted another is waiting to come into the charity. High priority cases need to be catered for at short notice. Funds are kept to cater for any unforeseen events which could require extra kennel capacity at extra cost to the charity, routine kennelling costs are circa £7.5k per month, additional dogs to the normal intake extend that figure exponentially depending on how many might require shelter Vets bills are the next biggest expense, this is true year on year. Annual cost varies depending on the welfare needs of dogs who come through the charity. 2025 costs increased on the 2024 figure Daily running costs of the charity don’t vary much year to year and 2025 is no different. No one at the charity gets a wage but the charity does have expenses such as annual insurance and stocks of consumables such as collars, leads, coats etc all of which are sourced and paid for when required Nigel Davison Treasurer – Northumberland Greyhound Rescue Dated 16/06/2026 Page **1** of **1** ## NGR Accounts Summary ## 2025 _**1st January 2025 – 31[st] December 2025**_ ## **– FINANCIAL SUMMARY Virgin Money Current Account** **Starting Balance 1[st] January 2025** _**£48,015.11**_ **Income 2025 £97,910.33 Expenditure 2025 £74,472.69** **Profit for 2025** _(*Income 2025 less expenditure 2025)_ **£97,910.33 - £74,472.69 £23,437.64** **Starting balance 1[st] January 2025 plus profit 2025 £48,015.11 + £23,437.64 £71,452.75** **Closing Balance 31[st] December 2025** _- End of Year Total for 2025_ _**£71,452.75**_ ## **FULL LIST OF ASSETS AVAILABLE TO NORTHUMBERLAND GREYHOUND RESCUE - 31st DECEMBER 2025** - Virgin Money (Current Account) - Redwood Bank (35 day Notice) - Cambridge & Counties Bank (1yr Fixed Rate bond) £71,452.75 £65,000.00 £85,000.00 **£221,452.75** _*Assets available end of year 2023 £189,244.56_ _*Assets available end of year 2024 £198,015.11_ Page **1** of **5** ## **INCOME** **GBGB Bond Scheme: Adoption Fees - rehomed dogs: Donations through PayPal:** **£35200.00 £18895.00 £9852.49** *High value donations of note posted through Paypal: _Julie James/Greyhounds run free £2319, Santapaws £225_ **Donations from Greyhound Trainers: Event Donations:** **£7420.00 £6087.00** *Listed in bank deposit order: _December Challenge £126.00 NGR 21[st] celebration £375.00 Druridge £881.12 Morpeth charity night £501.50 Manor walks £382.82 GNR £200.00 Northumberlandia £105.87 Women’s Rugby Night £300.00 GGGW £1264.14 Howlaween £155.55 Christmas charity night £545.00 Marilyn Murray-various £1250.00_ **Interest from Reserve Bank Accounts: £5238.18 £4120.00 Monthly Recurring Donation:** _*Ben £10 per month, *Wentworth Grange £500 per month_ **Online Charitable Giving portals: £3384.30** _Charities Trust, Charity Aid Foundation (CAF), Mastercard Cashback, Payroll Giving, Give as You Earn_ **Just Giving: £2471.19 £1488.00 General Donations:** *Donations for leaders, coin collections etc. but high value donations of note for 2025 appear below: _Gold ring_ £300.00 _, Returned dog (Fred)_ £330.00 _, Vet bill donation for Pie_ £500.00 **Clothing Sales: £1281.13 £1178.00 Organised Raffles:** ***** Listed in bank deposit order: _Lydia £47.50 Hamper raffle £190.00 Easter £150.00 Mother’s Day £72.50 Mother’s Day £40.00 Mother’s Day £100.00 Nellie D £230.00 Christmas £348.00_ Page **2** of **5** |**Bank Balance refunds:**|**£407.94**| |---|---| |_*Same vet bill paid twice - refund from vet £362.50_|| |_*Expense claim paid to incorrect person - credited back to account £45.44_|| |**Funeral and Will Donatons:**|**£366.59**| |**Kennel sponsor (Wendy):**|**£200.00**| |**Agria Insurance partnership commission:**|**£143.51**| |**Christmas cards:**|**£91.00**| |**WI Talks:**|**£86.00**| _*Cramlington_ ## _**Income for 2025:**_ **£97910.33** Page **3** of **5** EXPENDITURE Page4of5 |**Kennel Bills**:|**£62420.00**| |---|---| |**Vets Bills:**|**£4767.74**| |**Leads and Muzzles for Kennel Dogs:**|**£1720.45**| |**Purchase of NGR Branded Clothing:**|**£1606.80**| |**Specifc Annual Expense:**|**£ 1362 . 40**| |_*GNR places £774.40, *Annual insurance £588.00_|| |**Medicaton and Bones:**|**£706.47**| |_*typically fea treatment, wormers, bones, protexin intended for_|| |_kennel dogs_|| |**Volunteer Expense Claims:**|**£685.92**| |_*mileage claims, volunteer out of pocket expenses, foster dog_|| |_expenses_|| |**General Expenses:**|**£659.92**| |_*event setup costs, stamps, 21st celebraton (2025 only)_|| |**Business Phone Annual Contract:**|**£256.69**| |**Donatons to Other Greyhound Causes**|**£150.00**| |**Microchip Administraton Charges:**|**£120.00**| |*_charges for changing names/addresses on ID chips_|| |**Bank Balance Adjust:**|**£16.30**| |_*bank added £10 incorrectly, *mileage claim underpaid by £6.30_|| |_(2024 audit)_|| ## _**Expenditure for 2025:**_ **£74472.69** Page **5** of **5** Independent Examlnerfs Report to the Trustees of Northumberland Greyhound Rescue I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Northumberland Greyhound Rescue (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2025.
