**TIA GREYHOUND AND LURCHER RESCUE (KNOWN BY - TIA RESCUE)**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH SEPTEMBER 2024**
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30th September 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The Objects of the Charity are to relieve the suffering of dogs and horses, in particular Greyhounds, Lurchers and Heavy Horses. To provide and maintain kennels and stabling for the reception and care of these unwanted dogs and horses and to finance their necessary upkeep and veterinary costs prior to them being rehomed if and when possible.
## **Public benefit**
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
## **Rehoming Dogs & Horses**
Our policy when we rescue any dog or horse is to make them safe and ensure their health is looked after. When they come to us, some are in better shape than others but we always give them whatever care they need as well as lots of love. Wherever possible, we aim to rehome our dogs and horses to a caring forever home and we have rehomed well over a hundred dogs and horses in the reporting period. For those dogs and horses which we cannot rehome, perhaps because of their age, health needs, or just because they need the kind of care and attention we can only give at our farm, we aim to keep them safe, healthy and, most importantly of all, loved.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Charitable activities**
In last year's report, we highlighted some of the staffing difficulties we have encountered which meant that had to restrict the overall numbers of dogs and horses we could accommodate temporarily. We are pleased that during this reporting period, we have had two excellent and reliable kennel staff, who are doing extremely well and are fantastic with the dogs.
During this year, we have continued to work to find temporary and long-term homes for our animals, working with trainers and "foster carers". Our co-ordination between trainers and potential adopters has allowed us to continue to find homes for ex-racers without them all needing to make the trip up to Easter Hardmuir Farm between racing kennels and foster/forever homes. One of Tia Rescue's great strengths, having been in the animal rescue business for as long as we have, is our ability to work with friends, foster carers, and fellow rescue centres to facilitate the rehoming of so many animals.
A special mention must be made for Donaldson's vets in Huddersfield. They continue to provide us with massive support, as they have done for many years. Without them, many of our animals wouldn't have made it as far as they have.
## **Fundraising activities**
Another area which we would also like to highlight is the tremendous support we get from the public.
During August and September 2024, we held open days and fairs in both Easter Hardmuir Farm and Halifax, West Yorkshire. The events were very well attended and generated lots and lots of interest with the attendees and generated a very useful income.
Our supporters also went the extra mile once more and ran lots of local events, which, as well as bringing in much needed income, raises the profile of both Tia and the work we do. Perhaps more importantly, following our move to Scotland, it was very pleasing to see that a very significant part of this effort was done around the Yorkshire area, ensuring that our presence is still clearly seen.
Our sponsors of both dogs and horses continue to provide a steady income and allow individuals to show a special interest in our permanent residents. We are sure that if they could only talk, our dogs and horses would send out their thanks for sponsorship along with ours.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH SEPTEMBER 2024**
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Easter Hardmuir Farm**
Following the move to Nairn in 2022, and the significant work which has since been done to the site to make it suitable for the needs of Tia, we are now fully established at Easter Hardmuir Farm.
During this reporting period, the new kennel block was fully finished and has been signed off by building regulations. The new kennel block has significantly improved the kennel facilities in a purpose-built block. The block is built to modern standards to significantly improve efficiency and reduce costs. It provides office, toilet, and kitchen facilities in one place, which has enabled a reduction in staffing requirements. We also provided new exercise paddocks for the dogs, adjacent to the kennels.
We continue to make use of the support equipment for the kennels and stables, as well as the tractors, trailers and vehicles which were brought from Tia's previous home at Doncaster to the new site in Nairn.
Easter Hardmuir Farm's land is used grazing and to produce feed for our horses. We have been fortunate enough to produce a surplus of hay and haylage and sold this on to provide a small but very useful income.
## **Charity Shops**
Our charity shop in Pickering, North Yorkshire, has continued to provide a steady and very welcome income. Our staff at the shop have worked hard to make it a welcoming place which not only provides a great shopping experience but also highlights the work of Tia.
A second charity shop in Nairn was opened in March 2024, in line with our strategic plan. This has been run by a shop manager with the help of volunteers. The shop has helped to raise the profile of Tia Rescue in the local area as well as generating income for the charity.
## **Income**
Like many charities, much of our income relies on the public making donations. Tia continues to rely on donations from individuals and organisations, along with income from our Charity shops. In addition, grant monies from dog/animal Charitable Trusts give a welcome boost from time to time. Tia Rescue receives no funding from the Greyhound Racing Industry. We continued to apply for grants as outlined in our strategic plan, and have been fortunate to see some of these be repeated from previous years.
During this reporting period, we have received a number of bequests which have significantly helped the funding of our work. Although every bequest is highly appreciated, (and without them, we could not continue our work), it does make it challenging to plan our future finances because we cannot foresee what legacies we may receive in the future. We continue to plan as best we can as we have to face reality and accept that such income is both essential and the most significant regular income we receive.
Additionally, we have explored further potential sources of income, including:
- We have investigated the possible offer of will-writing services for our supporters, to encourage legacies. This was rejected due to concerns about potential legal complications in the event that families chose to challenge the content of the wills.
- We have considered the sale of the woodland at Easter Hardmuir farm, having received two offers for the purchase of this land. The decision was taken not to sell the land at this time.
- An on-line Tia fundraising Shop, which has been set up on Facebook and is run by a volunteer.
- Holiday let/on-site accommodation: this has enabled supporters and volunteers, including potential adopters, to spend time at Tia while generating some income for the charity.
As the charity has become more established in its new location, Tia's profile has continued to grow and we have been fortunate to receive offers of support from some local businesses, e.g. Boath House hotel offered Tia its grounds to host a Christmas fund-raising event, and we have had some good support from food donation bins in local supermarkets.
Our Monthly Prize Draw continues to generate a modest but steady monthly income stream. It is an area that the Charity continues to grow, and we wish to express our thanks to all supporters who have subscribed so far.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH SEPTEMBER 2024**
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
As ever, our ability to raise income to meet our expenditure needs continues to be challenging, but we are managing to keep our heads just above water and will seek to find new ways to generate the income we depend on.
Public Liability and Employers Liability Insurance
Insurance generally appears to have become more expensive, additionally insurers seem to be reluctant to offer insurance for areas of the operation which are perceived as higher risk.
For the year to March 2024, the insurers were Marsh, and underwriters Royal Sun Alliance. When it came to renewing insurance for the 2024-2025 period, we were informed that they no longer with to insure horse organisations. Significant efforts were made to find alternative insurance at a reasonable cost. From March 2024, Tia's insurers are now Aviva.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Reserves policy**
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted reserves at a level which equates to at least twelve months unrestricted expenditure. This policy aims to provide sufficient funds to cover management and administration and support costs.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The governing document of the charity is the trust deed dated 29 March 2004, as amended by a deed dated 7 April 2013. The charity became a registered charity on 25 August 2004 and now has charitable status in both England & Wales (charity number 1105626) and Scotland (charity number SCO51782).
## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**
All trustees are appointed on a voluntary basis, and do not receive any remuneration for their time. All expenses reimbursed to trustees are disclosed in the accounts.
## **Organisational structure**
The trustees have control of the charity and its property and funds. The full number of trustees allowed is ten and the remaining original trustees, D J Rothery is entitled to serve for life.
Any newly elected trustees are elected for a period of three years by resolution of the trustees.
Those trustees who are required to retire after three years are eligible for re-appointment if competent to act.
The trustees are required to hold at least five meetings a year and a quorum at any meeting is four trustees, however only four meetings were held during the period. Meetings may be held in person or by other suitable electronic means. The chairperson has a second or casting vote, and each other trustee has one vote.
## **Risk management**
The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining reserves at current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks faced by the charity and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the sufficient risks.

## **Auditors**
Cresswells Accountants (UK) Limited Chartered Accountants and Statutory Auditors 12 Market Street Hebden Bridge West Yorkshire HX7 6AD
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. 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.

**REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF TIA GREYHOUND AND LURCHER RESCUE**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Tia Greyhound and Lurcher Rescue (the 'charity') for the year ended 30th September 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
- In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 30th September 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
- have been prepared in accordance with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended).
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information**
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

**REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF TIA GREYHOUND AND LURCHER RESCUE**
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures include the following:
- we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charity and the sector in which it operates. We determined the following laws and regulations were most significant: The Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 and Health and Safety Act;
- we obtained an understanding of how the charity is complying with those legal and regulatory frameworks by making inquiries to the management;
- we assessed the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the audit team included:
- identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls management has in place to prevent and detect fraud;
- understanding how those charged with governance considered and addressed the potential of override of controls or other inappropriate influence over the financial reporting process;
- challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates;
- identifying and testing journal entries;
- assessing the extent of compliance with the relevant laws and regulations.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds These are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objects of the charity. Designated funds These are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes. Revaluation funds These are unrestricted funds which include a revaluation reserve representing the restatement of investment assets at their market values. Restricted funds These are available for use subject to restrictions imposed by the donor or through terms of an appeal.
## **Hire purchase and leasing commitments**
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ln the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.
## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits**

Once the contributions have been paid the charity has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the charity in independently administered funds.
## **Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services**
