## **Trustee Report - June 2025**
With many people feeling the financial situation in the UK we have had significantly lower donations this year, which has meant we have had to dig deep into our funds. Requests for our help have not followed this decrease and have escalated. Many families now have to work longer hours, finding that their dogs are not coping with being left alone for long periods of time or being unable to afford the general upkeep and medical care needed for their pets. Marriage break ups or moving into rented accommodation are also common factors for need to rehome a pet. We have had an increasing number of young dogs that we need not only to find new homes for, but to give some training prior to rehoming. This has been achieved with the assistance of behaviourists and trainers to resolve issues that the dog arrives with, but this is of course another expense that needs to be covered.
We have always tried to do as much as possible to help the stray dogs here in the UK and have found an increase in the number of dogs we have been asked to help from the pounds. Pounds are full and the lives of these dogs are in real danger. These dogs not only require a foster place for assessment but invariably require veterinary treatment prior to being ready for their forever homes.
This year has once again seen an ever-expanding need to try and help dogs that are advertised as “Free to good homes” and we are pleased that we have been able to secure the future for some of these dogs. Many need to be moved immediately which has again increased the demand on our foster homes and kennels.
Veterinary fees and kennelling costs are by far our biggest expense. Where possible we try to put dogs in foster homes. Due to the increased number of dogs we are asked to help, we find that kennelling is our only option for many of them. We have again tried to help as many overseas dogs as possible. These healthy, sociable dogs would otherwise have been destroyed.
As in previous years we have dogs that we continue to support even after rehoming, by supplying their medication and in some cases all of their veterinary costs. This has meant that we have been able to place dogs in loving forever homes that would have otherwise been impossible to rehome, due to their lifelong medical needs. We have again placed many older dogs with older people; the results for both the people and the dogs are amazing. We have been delighted to see the improvement in the well-being and enjoyment of life for both dog and adoptees.
All our achievements for this year are, as always, down to the tremendous dedication of our team of volunteers who work tirelessly, giving an ever-increasing amount of their time to make life good again for many wonderful dogs.

The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
- Examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Charities Act,

- To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions examiner’s statement given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my Statement attention:
- a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect,the requirements
- to keep accounting records in accordance
- with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met or:
