RYEDALE DOG RESCUE
TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2024
Revlew of the Charity's achievements and performance, including the difference the Charity has made to the
benef iciaries and to wider society throughout the year
l am very pleased to report on the 2023/2024 financial year for Ryedale Dog Rescue which has yet again been a very busy
but very successful one, Our trustees and volunteers have worked tirelessly to keep raisin8 the funds needed to help
rescue, rehabilitate and rehome as many dogs as possible from the local area. Since the Covid pandemic we have seen
big change in the dogs coming into our care with fewer strays in local council pounds but many more direct handovers
from owner5 who for many reasons both financi31 andlor circumstantial can no longer keep their dog with them. Many of
these dogs have come to us needing veterinary treatment and/or behavioural modification and training and this in turn
means we are havin8 to keep the dogs in our care much longer than usual, which in turn means overall a decrease in the
number of dogs we are able to take in.
We have always prided ourselve5 on being a charity that does not discriminate on breed, taking dogs from Chihuahuas to
Rottweilers and many and varied in between and we hope to continue in this way. However, the percentage of bull
breeds and their crosses has significantly increased while the number of people lookin8 to rehome them has declined
because of the social media covera8e of recent dog attacks. We strongly believe there is a home for every dog and a do8
for every home but matching the two is of utm05t importance and thorough homechecks are essential.
This year has seen our income slightly down on the previou5 year, but this was mainly due to no grant fundin8 being
received.Expenditure was roughly the same which shows we are being careful by keeping costs to a minimum. Both these
resulted in a slight deflcit for the year. However we have been able to create a £50,000 reserve in order that we would be
able to maintain the essential core services the charity provide5 for a minimum of 10 months in the event of all
fundraising being cancelled as during the pandemic.
Our veterinary costs greatly increased this year due to the increase in handover dogs needing more complex treatment,
and also the local council no longer allowing u5 to access stray do85 for temperament and health prior to transferring
ownership. Thi5 increase was slightly offset by a decrease in kennel fees for the year.
The annual calendar proved very popular again thi5 year and we also added our very own designer RDR Christmas cards
to our stock. The number of sales outlets was increased and we would like to say a special thank you to all who stocked
them for us.The Wheldon family's Stall On the Wall continues to generates regular funds for us and passed the massive
£30,000 mark during the year which is an outstanding achievement.
As Chairman of the charity I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to and supported RDR in any way during
this year which has helped make it so successful. Some can give their time, some donations either financial or goods to
sell, others offer venues for stalls etc but when everyone just does what they can we form a great team as Together
Everyone Achieve5 More ITEAMI. We look forward to the coming year, our 20th and are ready to face the challenges it
will no doubt bring for our charity.

The results for the year show a deficit of £1,463. althou8h the unrestricted funds had a surplus of £2,277. The main
reason for the deficit is in the year to 31st March 2023 a donation of £10,000 was received from the Rose Animal Trust. A
correspondin8 donation was not received in the year to 31st March 2024.
Other donations and fundraising income are lower than the prior year, but as the Charity had a surplus in the prior year it
15 currently able to absorb the reduction in income without impacting the service it provides or the long term survival of
the Charity.
Reserves Pollcy
The reserve fund is set at £50,00012023 . £50,000). The Trustee5 acknowledge that unrestricted cash reserves are
required to:.
Enable Ryedale Dog Rescue to maintain essential core services for a minimum of ten months in the event of
withdrawal of fundin8.
¢ To provide funds of last resort in the event of ursavoidable cost overruns on activities that cannot otherwise be met
from other funds.
To 8ive time to seek alternative sources of fundin8 and to maintain continuity in the event of short term funding

Respective Respon5ibilitie5 of Trustees and Examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an
audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an
independent examination is needed.

14515llbl of the 2011 Act,. and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the Independent Examinerfs Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 those 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 those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent Examiner's Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
l. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirement5:
o to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act,. or
o to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records,. or
concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations
2008 other than any requirement that the account5 give a 'true and fair, view which is not a matter
considered a5 part of an independent examination.

2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts
to be reached.

Dogs are boarded at a kennels belonging to a Trustee at a heavily discounted rate. This is not a commercial
arrangement, and the rate charged is much lower than market value - the payments help the Trustee to cover the costs
of food and board for the dogs. The Charity would not be able to operate as effectively without the Trustee providing
this service at a low rate, and all are grateful for the service and help provided. The arrangement has been cleared with
the Charity Commission.
