## **TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR TO 31ST AUGUST 2023**
For the year to 31[st] August 2023 there were no appointments or resignations to the Board of Trustees as stated in the previous year report to 31[st] August 2022.
There were no bequests and income from veterinary fees were reduced significantly compared to the previous year and donations were small to modest.
COVID had depleted our funds, and a third party (a campsite) paid the utility bills Food for the animals was donated.
Most fuel costs have been met by self funding. Insurance cover has been met and no claims have been made. Costs are down due to a reduction in employees and an increase of volunteers.
The veterinary cost for animal treatments are covered by donation of service from the community vets and would have been higher had the charity paid the full high street prices. The number of aged pets in our care has increased.
We find ourselves in the position of restricting the numbers of pets taken in as care costs have increased year on year
We no longer advertise as the cost is prohibitive; this has a detrimental effect on legacy incomes. The boarding kennels have closed as the increased cost made them unviable.
Since COVID high numbers of small charities have closed, we are hoping to find new ways of addressing the shortage of income.
Pet Rescue is literally surviving hand to mouth and it is evident from the accounts that there was a loss, although slightly lower than the previous year's loss, continued losses cannot be sustained.
A balance sheet is attached to the report.

## **PET RESCUE WELFARE ASSOCIATION EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF PET RESCUE WELFARE ASSOCIATION FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR TO 31ST AUGUST 2023**
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31[st] August 2023 which are set out on pages 1 and 2 of the annual accounts.
## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 43 (2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts (under section 43 of the Act)
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the Act), and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions 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 these records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as 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 these matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
**I** n the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act; have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
