Trustees Annual Report – Little Foxes

We were very fortunate in 2024-25 to receive a very generous legacy. This has given us the opportunity to replace some large animal runs, and also build brand new runs and aviaries. We retain a generous amount of these legacies which we will use to the best advantage of the animals we care for. We care for many sick, injured and orphaned wildlife casualties, and receive requests for advice from all over the country. >>

Dear Trustees

The Little Foxes - accounts for the period 1st July 2024 to 30th June 2025

I have examined the accounts for this period in accordance with the Commission's Directions 1-13 and guidance notes.

I have carried out an independent and impartial examination of the Charity's accounts, bank statements, purchase invoices and subscription, donation and legacy income.

I conclude my work by reporting to the Trustees on:

1. The accountancy records kept; and

2. Whether the accounts agree with the records; and

3. The format of the accounts is correct; and

4. Any concerns.

The Charity’s accountant has prepared the accounts using proprietary software such as Zero of which I have some experience. I then made my own analysis of income and expenditure and have found the accounts do balance.

I have scrutinised receipts for all of the significant and most of the lesser transactions.

I have only one concern and that is that hand-written receipts from feed suppliers Wheatley AG and Kennel Shop have not available to me because they are not easily to hand. I accept, knowing the nature of the Charity and its reliance on a principal, that they are somewhere in the Trustees’ possession but it would be unduly onerous to find them all. I therefore recommend these informal paper receipts be retained in one place once they have been received.

I have concluded and declare that the accounts as included in the Trustees' Annual Return are a full and proper representation of the Charity's affairs for this period and that all matters to review as set out in the 2008 Regulations have been met.

Yours sincerely
