The Trustees' Report (Incorporating The Director’s Report)
Year Ended 31 August 2021
The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of the Companies Act, have pleasure in presenting their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 31 August 2021.
Administration details
Animal Krackers Limited is a registered charity (No. 1104787) and is a company limited by guarantee (Company No. 04806901).
The principal address and registered office of the charitable company is:
39 Windsor Terrace Grangetown Sunderland SR2 9QF
The trustees who served the charitable company during the year were:
Andrea Parkin Ian Robert Williams Heather Fambely Anne Downs Susan Hardy Heather Halkier Sandra Johnson
Structure, governance and management
Animal Krackers Limited (by Guarantee), is a charitable, not for profit organisation, set up to relieve the suffering of animals in need of care and attention. It is governed by provisions of its Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Animal Krackers Limited (by Guarantee) has a Board of Management who are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charitable company. At present the committee has seven members from a variety of backgrounds relevant to the work of the charitable company.
The directors of the charitable company are also trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the charitable company’s Articles are known as members of the Board of Management. The trustees are appointed by the members of the charitable company at the annual general meeting. Except for the first meeting when all the trustees were required to stand for re-appointment, one third of the committee must stand for re-appointment every meeting.
Reserves policy
The management committee have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds, not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets, held at the charity, should be at least 12 months of the resources expended. At this level, the management committee feel that they would be able to continue the current activities in the event of a significant drop in funding. It would obviously be necessary to consider how the funding would be replaced, or activities changed.
Risk analysis
The trustees of the charitable company have conducted their own review of the major risks to which the charitable company is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects and to ensure consistent delivery for all operational aspects of the charitable company. These procedures are periodically reviewed in order to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charitable company.
Objects and activities
The object of the charitable company, which has been accepted as a charitable object by the Charity Commissioners is to build a sanctuary for animals, and for the benefit of the public, to relieve the suffering of animals in need of care and attention and to advance the education of the public in matters pertaining to animal welfare in general.

Animal Krackers Limited (By Guarantee)
The Trustees' Report (Incorporating The Director’s Report)
Year Ended 31 August 2021
The charitable company meets its objectives by providing a number of services, providing grants, donations, funding, material, and any other form of support as the trustees may from time to time determine. Grants and donations are made only to other organisations with similar objects or directly to veterinary surgeons when made on behalf of a particular animal.
Public benefit statement
The trustees have had regard to the Charities Commission guidance on their legal duty on public benefit; and are satisfied that the charitable company delivers public benefit, and due regard is paid to the evidence on public benefit when deciding on what new projects the charity should undertake.
Achievements and performance
The charity’s main source of income continued to be generated by its activities through a shop. The shop was run by volunteers throughout the year who received no remuneration. At the year end the charity has accumulated general reserves in excess of £387,000 and continues to work towards its long term goal of building an animal sanctuary.
During the current financial year, the shop suffered two periods of closure due to national and local lockdowns as a result of the COVID19 pandemic. The total closure period amounted to 16 weeks, in the previous financial year, the shop was shut for a total of 12 weeks. The shop was able to reopen permanently on 1 April 2021.
Financial Review
The whole of the charitable company’s income has been applied to the principal activity of the charitable company. Shop and car boot sales for the year amounted to £32,245. The charity raised £108 through fund raising events. The charity also received unrestricted donations of £8,975, a Coronavirus business support grants of £14,780 and interest amounting to £29.
The total expenditure over the year amounted to £55,843.
This therefore increased net funds during the year by £294.
Plans for the future
2021/2022 will see the continuance of the charitable company’s current projects. Despite the restrictions the charity has faced as a result of the Coronavirus lockdowns, the charity has continued to support people with vet bills and kennel costs and have had adequate funds to do so.
Responsibilities of the trustees
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare unaudited financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees have elected to prepare the unaudited financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the trustees must not approve the unaudited financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the incoming and outgoing resources of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those unaudited financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the unaudited financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue its activities.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the unaudited financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
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.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements
Year Ended 31 August 2021
1. Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
These unaudited financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with:
-
i) the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in January 2015 (SORP 2015).
-
ii) the financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
-
iii) the Charities Act 2011
The unaudited financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these unaudited financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
Incoming resources
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement of the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations and grants are recognised when the Trust has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Charity shop sales are accounted for in the year in which the donated goods are sold. The goods are valued at their sale proceeds.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
Resources expended
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis when the liability is incurred.
Grants payable
Grants payable are in line with charitable company’s objects and activities. Grants and donations are made only to other organisations with similar objects or directly to veterinary surgeons when made on behalf of a particular animal. Grants are charged in the year the trustees authorise payment.
Fixed assets
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
