CAVALIER KING CHARLES SPANIEL RESCUE & WELFARE
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Objectives of the Charity
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Rescue & Welfare is constituted by a declaration of trust dated 2 May 2004 as amended 29 May 2020. The charity was formed to relieve the suffering of unwanted, abandoned, neglected and mistreated Cavaliers and in particular for the rescue and provision of care for such animals and where appropriate to find a suitable alternative home.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Rescue & Welfare are a registered charity (No. 1104112) (England and Wales).
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.
It has not been a very good year in more ways than we could have imagined. As well as the pandemic we have been used to scam people into thinking we had dogs for them to collect from our location as long as they paid for the dogs up front. We would like to thank people for their help and support in such trying times.
Financial Position and Reserves
The Charity continues to build on the firm foundations laid over the past years and has achieved good financial stability.
The Statement of Financial Activities shows a surplus for the year 31 December 2020 of £86,280 (2019 £18,059) and our reserves stand at £930,231 in total, of which £69,493 are unrealised gains on investments.
The trustees consider that the reserves are adequate to continue the charity’s current level of activity.
Risk Management
The trustees have undertaken a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and systems to mitigate those risks have been considered. In light of this a separate sub committee for investments was set up on 27[th] February 2017 to monitor the investments and report back to the main committee as and when required.
Volunteers
All our trustees are volunteers and they give their time to assist with the running of the charity as well as looking after the Cavaliers in need until a suitable permanent home is found.
Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees are required under the Charities Act 2011 to prepare financial statements for each year, selecting an appropriate consistent basis for preparation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable law and regulations. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The report was approved by the trustees on May 2021 and signed on their behalf.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF
CAVALIER KING CHARLES SPANIEL RESCUE & WELFARE
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are set out on pages 5 to 8.
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 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the 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 which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act or
-
the accounts do not accord with such records
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
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.

Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
