Objectives and Activities

Rain Rescue Directorsreport (incorporating the Trustees annual report) continued for the year ending 31 May 2022

Our Mission and Vision

We exist to Rescue, Rehome and Rehabilitate dogs and cats in need. Our vision is to see no dog or cat abandoned, mistreated or neglected in our local area.

Chair's Statement

I am both pleased and a little sad to present this, my fourth and final annual report as Chair of Trustees for Rain Rescue in this the Charities 20th incredible year!

This year we celebrated our 20th year! That's 20 years of being there for pets in crisis, their owners and the wider local community. In the 12 month period covered (1st June 2021 – 31st May 2022) the charity has rehomed 341 cats and kittens as well as 95 dogs, totaling 436 animals .

Activities and performance

The need for rescue space for cats is ever increasing and this year, demand for space for dogs has started to rise quite sharply. We anticipate that as the cost of living steeply increases and hits crisis point this demand will only grow. The number of animals coming to us with complex health issues is still on the rise also and again it's clear that this trend will continue as household bills rise and families and owners struggle to cope. Though often with great sadness and reluctance animals are commonly the first to go when cost cutting becomes a necessity.

We continue to issue neutering vouchers to cat owners living within the Rotherham postcode area, continuing in our fifth year of the Snip and Chip project, aiming to reduce the number of unwanted and stray cats in the Rotherham area. We are also pleased that we have been able to assist those in financial need with neutering costs to help to treat the stray problem at source. As we started to move back towards a life more normal we've been able to get back out to many of our community fundraising events including some of our favourite activities like our annual Fun Dog Show at Graves Park Country Show. We want to say a huge thank you to all our 46 volunteers who have stuck with us during such a tricky time and been ready and raring to go again as soon as we could, you are all so very important and valuable, thank you for giving your time, your energy and a little bit of your heart to Rain.

Social media has continued to be a brilliant source of income generation but also an incredible tool for sharing appeals, calls for help, and of course educating and engaging with our community of now 50,000+ followers.

Activities and performance continued

This has been another difficult year which has followed on after other equally difficult years, with staff shortages and less funding available due to continuing Covid priorities for funders, paired with increasing demand for rescue space for higher welfare need animals and ever increasing costs.

The team have persevered through a fair bit of adversity but as ever manage to maintain Rains high standards and carry the charity forwards.

What we do

From 1st June 2021 to 31st May 2022 we rehomed 436 animals

Income generation

This year we were so excited to get back out into the community as large scale public events became possible again

As spaces have re opened as the government eased Covid related restriction, community events and in person fundraising opportunities have begun to present themselves again. We've been delighted to be back out this year at summer festivals, shops and supermarkets, getting our mascots out of storage and raising awareness also aids in rehoming and can be the starting point for new supporters to engage with the charity.

Our Rain Rescue Rainbow continues to grow and we're thankful to everyone who purchases a plaque to remember a loved one or pet, to celebrate a birthday or an adoption or as a gift.

We've continued to support individual fundraisers who have been responsible for a huge chunk of our overall income this year and have provided many booklets and posters to aid their fundraising journey. We have so many creative supporters of all ages raising funds in so many varied ways, from knitting keyrings and blankets, organising gigs and even festivals, to children's lemonade & biscuit stands to incredible feats of sporting endurance. We are always looking for new ways to celebrate our incredible individual fundraisers. This year 66% of our income came from individual donations.

A special thanks to our founder and CEO

In our 20th year I thought it only right to include a significant mention for our founder Jacquie Neilson.

From starting the charity 20 years ago by helping one single dog in the local stray pound to saving the lives of 400+ animals annually, year on year, Jacquie and her family have dedicated a huge part of their lives to Rain Rescue and all that it stands for.

So THANK YOU Jacquie, for the dedication, the sacrifices and the empathy given not only to the animals in Rains care but to the humans around them and all their individual circumstances.

Working with businesses

Thanks for keeping us fed!

As ever a huge thank you goes to Burns Pet Food for keeping our animals incredibly well fed for another year

Our continued thanks go to all businesses that support us through financial and goods donations and fundraising activities.

Special thanks goes to Currys Parkgate for their brilliant fundraising weekend. Also to the Lincoln Ralph for sponsoring our new adoption wallets, Sheffield Window Centre for again sponsoring our wonderful fundraising calendars and our long term supporters KitchenEx for sponsoring our newsletters again and also our new kennel kitchen sink.

We continue to strengthen and develop our relationships with local businesses to help us navigate this incredibly difficult time and to build partnerships for the future.

Donors

We are incredibly grateful to all our donors no matter the amount.

Without you (all) we would be in a very different position right now, facing this difficult time from a much more precarious position. We have been reminded at this time that we, as with all rescue charities, are nothing without the wonderful people behind us, supporting us in all we do. Special thanks this year goes to our neighbouring farmer who donated fencing to allow us to separate our outdoor space into 2 play fields, and once again some very generous donations from our friends

Grants

Much grant funding this year has been targeted towards specific Covid recovery programs so there have generally been fewer grants available to rescues, however we have been lucky enough to receive the following. Funding from the Greyhound Board of Great Britain to build our new agility pen, combined funding from Jean Sainsburies and Battersea to enable us to purchase and install a prefabricated isolation cattery pen, uniquely designed and giving us 4 completely isolated cat pens.

Site development

OUR EVER DEVELOPING HOME

This year we've added a new agility pen which gives endless hours of fun and exercise to our dogs.

Our uniquely designed prefabricated building for isolation cat pens was delivered and installed giving us 4 completely secure and isolated pens for incoming cats

Our main field has been divided to create two play fields for the dogs, allowing more animals to enjoy more freedom and open space daily on site. We have also started hiring out our secure space for dogs to provide additional income.

Our new office hub is in place providing a much nicer workspace for our staff.

Community & Volunteering

Our volunteers are a key part of our organisation.

Community Outreach

The majority of our outreach is done via social media. Our network of supporters online has now grown to over 50,000 which is incredible.

Using this network we are able to easily promote things like the spaying and neutering scheme, educating people in how best to look after their pets and helping to signpost them when they need support or when things go wrong. Cats in crisis are epidemic in the South Yorkshire region and we are working tirelessly to try and neuter as many cats as we can. Many of these cats are not feral but homed cats that find themselves left behind when owners circumstances change. We hope that by getting our prevention messages out into the community we can stop things from hitting crisis point in families and communities, reducing the number of emergencies we have to respond to at short notice. We aim to balance our requests for help via our network with good news posts and advice and education to try to help prevent compassion fatigue amongst

Volunteers

Volunteers have been back on site this year, tirelessly cleaning, caring and cleaning some more in the kennels and cattery as well as out and about fundraising and advocating for Rain and it's animals.

This year we've had the pleasure of working alongside a team of brilliant and dedicated volunteers. Volunteer hours were given to us by both our on site and off site volunteers.

We held an informal social gathering on site for our volunteers to say thank you to them all for everything, it was a lovely and we hope to be able to make this a regular activity as it's rare that we are all able to be in the same space to share thoughts, ideas and experiences. It was also beneficial for the extended team to meet and be able to put names to faces.

Activities and perfomance continued

The Pet Blood Bank

We're proud to be partnering with the pet blood bank charity who come along to our site to collect blood donations to provide a life saving service to pets and vets, just like the one available to us humans!

On an average donation day at the kennels we have 7-10 blood donors which can potentially save the lives of 25 dogs!

This is just one of our stand out collaboration projects this year.

Staff & Training

Staffing has been tough this year, with general staff shortages nationally and recruitment issues throughout the sector filling vacancies has been tricky.

Currently we are operating at 6 full time staff and 4 part time.

Jess joined us as Cattery Welfare Assistant and as Robyn left for maternity leave her cover position was filled by Charlotte. Gina has moved up to become our Kennel and Cattery Manager.

Although we are operating at reduced staff numbers, the team is running effectively though at this time additional recruitment is needed to bolster the skills and resources of the team and we will be sharing this next year.

Rain Rescue are a full member of the Association of Dogs and Cats Homes (ADCH), and our operations and site have been inspected by 2 other ADCH Management Committee members to ensure standards are achieved.

We constantly strive to ensure our staff are supported through training and development, which has been reduced through Covid but will be starting up again next year.

Future Plans

Restructure, renovation and recruitment

We continue to renovate the site with plans to develop for our new vet room which will also bring with it recruitment.

We continue to explore the structure of the management level of the charity which will in time lead us to further recruitment and will hopefully help us to drive the charity forward with new

Our focus at the moment is maintaining through a new and different crisis that's currently emerging. We're anticipating large increases in our running costs and we're planning how best to work through this and continue to provide this safe space for animals that is so very needed in

Financial Review

The Statement of Financial Activities shows incoming resources for the year of £352,629 (2021: £438,769). Total expenditure for the year is £406,780 (2021: £318,351). The SOFA is showing a deficit of £54,149 (2021: surplus £120,418) after transfers between funds of £1,754 taken from restricted funds.

At the end of 31 May 2021 the trustees designated funds of £119,000. These provisions are towards a new office portacabin, vet room and salary costs for a Centre Manager and Income p p g y p g will be depreciated over the life of the asset.

At the year end, unrestricted fund balances are £170,215 with restricted funds of £34,933 and designated funds of £110,044 giving the total year end fund position of £315,192 (2021:

Reserves Policy

The Board of Trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the Charity should be six months of the resources expended from 2019/20 as the trustees feel this is a better reflection of the charities normal expenditure, this equates to £188,255. After allowing for unrestricted funds invested in tangible fixed assets of £54,846 and redundancy costs of £6,292, the general reserves stand at £160,127. This level of general reserves would finance operations in the event of short term funding gaps, and finance immediate obligations should Rain Rescue lose its funding, or alternatively in the event that the organisation should need to close. At 31 May 2022, our general free reserves stood at £160,127, below our target level. The Trustees are aware of this and aim to build on general reserves in the future years with the recruitment of a fundraiser.

1 Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

Incoming Resources

All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is entitled to the income, the receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably.

Donated services, assets and facilities are included as income at fair value where it is practical to quantify and the value can be measured reliably. A corresponding amount is recognised as expenditure or an asset as appropriate. No amounts are included for the value of services provided by volunteers which is in line with SORP (FRS102).

Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.

Income from government and other grants is recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement, after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met these amounts are deferred. These grants and voluntary income are included in incoming resources when these are receivable and allocated appropriately between unrestricted and restricted income depending upon restrictions imposed.

Donations and legacies are accounted for when they are receivable.

Expenditure

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Stock

Stock is stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for slow and obsolete stock.

13

Rain Rescue Notes to the financial statements for the year ending 31 May 2022

Support costs allocation

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, and administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.

Fixed assets

All items of capital expenditure below £500 are written off as incurred. The change in policy was introduced during 2017/18.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

Motor Vehicles 20% reducing balance Plant and Machinery 20% reducing balance Computer equipment 25% straight line Improvement to Leasehold 5% straight line Property

Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the charity has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably estimated.

Leases

Rentals payable under leases are charged against income on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Going Concern Note

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for the 12 months following the authorising of these financial statements and consider the going concern basis appropriate.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the SOFA in the period to which they relate.
