## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS TO THE MEMBERS OF FURRY TAILS FELINE WELFARE** 

We report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiners** 

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the account.  You consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993.  It is our responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 43(7)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to our attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiners report** 

Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners.  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 we do not express an opinion on the view given by the accounts. 

## **Independent examiners statement** 

In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention: 

- (1)    which gives us 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 to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met; 

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

## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

Each year our sanctuary operates at full capacity and as always, we have found good homes for as many of our cats and kittens as possible. 

It has been an extremely challenging year due to all the Covid 19 lockdowns and restrictions. Our neuter campaign has had to be put on hold during the year as vets were only doing emergency appointments and operations in the lockdown periods therefore the majority of neutering operations has not been able to be done. 

Our funds have been hard hit too with no government grants available for charities we have had to rely on the generosity of the public to support us. We have of course done what we could via on-line sales of charity goods. 

Our shop also has been closed during the year due to the lockdowns. 

Thank you to everyone that has donated to the charity during 2020. We would not be able to achieve what we do without your donations. 

It takes a lot of hard work and effort to raise the funds to operate the sanctuary so special thanks to all our volunteers and supporters for their help and support during the year. 

Miss K Upton (Secretary) For and on behalf of the trustees
