Stemming from the simple idea that change has to start somewhere we are now one of the largest animal NGOs in the state and employ up to 50 local staff. Our facilities allow us to care for up to 600 animals at a time. ## **We are proud that 2020 marked the 15[th] anniversary of TOLFA** ## **OUR VISION** A world where animals live free from disease and are valued as our equals ## **OUR MISSION** To provide vital and preventative healthcare to India’s ownerless animals and educate communities in their welfare and value 1 The Tree of Life for Animals (TOLFA) UK was established in 2005 as a not-for-profit organisation. In September 2006, TOLFA UK became a UK Registered Charity no: 1120789. TOLFA UK’s main purpose is to support the work of the TOLFA Animal Hospital in Rajasthan, India, who are an Indian Registered Charitable Trust no: 3397/23.10.06 TOLFA UK acts as the main administrative office for TOLFA outside of India. They promote awareness amongst the public and professional bodies in the UK and other countries around the world about the charity and raise funds to support the work done at our TOLFA Animal Hospital based in Rajasthan. The funds raised cover running costs such as staff salaries, medicines, animal feeds, keeping our rescue vehicle on the road and utilities, running projects, and the costs of the building work for the ongoing development of the hospital and sanctuary. TOLFA UK also helps to promote increased general animal welfare. ## **OUR OBJECTIVES** - To provide rescue and care services for Rajasthan’s street animals - To eradicate rabies through sterilisation and vaccination of street dogs - To provide vital veterinary services to the animals of the rural poor - To educate children in the community about animal welfare and rabies prevention - To improve the health and welfare of the increasing number of companion animals in Rajasthan - To empower low-status communities by providing stable employment opportunities and training ## **OUR PROJECTS IN INDIA** India is home to about 30 million stray dogs and there are an estimated 40,000 free-roaming cows in Delhi alone. Not only is there a significant need to reduce the dog population from a public health view, many of the dogs are victims of disease and injury. Cows are also at risk from road traffic accidents, illness, and the potentially fatal effects of eating plastic waste. **TOLFA have helped over 225,000 animals since we opened our gates in 2005** ## **RESCUE AND CARE** With our animal ambulance service, we respond to calls from the public about street animals that are sick or injured. Our team then either provides ‘on the spot’ treatment or takes the animal to our hospital for care and further attention. When in our care, the animal is treated with love and kindness and provided with surgical/medical care from our vets and trained compounders. Once an animal is recovered, we assess them to determine if they are fit to return to the street. If they are then they will be returned to the exact spot they were collected, as they will often have a territory, animal family or human care-giver to return to. If there is a reason that they can’t be returned (there is human conflict, they are disabled, or too young), then we will either find them a home with caring local people, or they will stay at TOLFA and receive lifelong shelter with us. As part of the Rescue & Care project, we have two animal ambulances; one attends cow & large animal complaints and the other dogs and small animals. In 2020, the Rescue and Care Project rescued and admitted **5,045** animals and provided on the spot street treatment for a further **4,450** animals. Our rescue team attended **12,835** calls made to our emergency number, out of 13,148 calls received, meaning we attended **97.5%** of calls. 3 **RURAL ANIMAL HEALTH (RAH)** TOLFA offers free or heavily subsidised veterinary services to the livestock animals of the rural poor. Many local village people rely heavily on their animals and if one becomes sick or dies, it can lead a family into poverty. Our in-house dispensary runs a free clinic every day for these animals and villagers attend from the 10 villages surrounding the hospital. Most of these animals are goats and are of vital importance to their owners, who are usually subsistence farmers. In 2020 we treated **4,928** animals through the RAH clinics at our dispensary. _TOLFA’s dispensary where the RAH clinic is open every day_ ## **RABIES ERADICATION AND STERILISATION** TOLFA sterilises and rabies vaccinates every dog that is treated as well as catching dogs specifically for sterilisation and vaccination. In 2020, the Rabies Eradication & Sterilisation Project sterilised **2,188** dogs and vaccinated **2,465** dogs against rabies. ## **OWNER PET CLINIC** We provide quality veterinary services (preventative and medical/surgical treatment) to local pet-owners (mostly dogs). We also have the option of hospitalisation/boarding facilities in our separate owner dog kennels. In 2020 a total of **5,905** pets were treated through this clinic. Of those **3,075** were treated for free and **2,830** were treated on a donation basis. ## **EDUCATION** TOLFA understands the importance of education as the only way to effect long term change. We hope to encourage the next generation to care for animals and dispel some of the ignorance that still exists around them. Our Education Project has been teaching in city schools, and our Education Centre with our four topics: (1) The 5 Freedoms, (2) Dog Bite Prevention, (3) Rabies Prevention and (4) The role of TOLFA in the community. In 2020 we taught **913** children about dog bite and rabies prevention, the Five Freedoms of Animal Welfare, and the work that TOLFA does. Our Education project only ran until March this year as schools were then closed due to the pandemic. TOLFA UK’s main fundraising commitments are to the running of the Rescue & Care Project and any capital or special projects that come up. 5 ## **COVID-19 PANDEMIC RESPONSE** _TOLFA team member Hariom amongst some of the Amazon Wishlist donations received from supporters around the world during the India lockdown, May 2020_ The Covid-19 crisis has been particularly challenging for TOLFA. The nationwide lockdown in India was announced with 4 hours’ notice which meant we had to urgently secure food and medicines for the animals that would prove difficult to acquire during the lockdown. At the same time, the prices of these items also increased. We introduced new hygiene measures for our staff, including a team rota of one week on / one week off during the stricter parts of lockdown. The cost of staples such as oil and flour also increased sharply during lockdown, so we provided ration packages to our staff to ensure they had enough basic foodstuffs for their families (many of our employees are the main breadwinner for their extended family). Because foreign tourists departed for their home countries, and shops and restaurants were forced to close, the main food sources of many of the street dogs and cows completely dried up. We saw a definite increase in dogs being admitted with bite wounds from fighting with other dogs over sparse resources. In response, we set up a street feeding programme to help the more vulnerable street animals. Our initial response to the pandemic helped with the burden of our workload (i.e. stopping non-essential procedures, limiting dispensary opening times), and at the start of lockdown we also set up an ‘Amazon Wishlist’ campaign for dry dog and cat food which was highly successful (in just one delivery we received 63 bags of dog food and 26 bags of cat food!). Our street feeding programme during lockdown ensured the animals were able to stay fed and healthy while living on the streets. We carried on our work but set up advanced hygiene measures and procedures at the hospital. We set up an emergency appeal on Global Giving which has raised over **£12,000** so far towards our ongoing Rescue and Care project. The lockdown in India has now eased considerably but there is still danger from the coronavirus, so our staff continue to be careful. Foreigners are still not allowed to enter India, so we are still lacking the support of tourists and visitors. _The pandemic and Indian lockdown have been challenging but we’ve been determined to continue our life-saving work as much as possible_ ## **TOLFA UK TRUSTEE BOARD** TOLFA’s UK Board of Trustees consists of a dedicated group of individuals who volunteer their time to ensure the healthy and effective running of the charity. Our trustees are integral to our success and the achievements we have made in helping animals in India and we recognise the great contribution that each has brought to TOLFA. 7 Since 2019 our Secretary Kerry Wilkins has acted as Interim Managing Trustee. In 2020 we welcomed new Trustees Deepa Thomas-Sutcliffe, Andrew Prentis and Louise Mitchell who joined our existing trustees Naomi Steward, Karyn Robinson (treasurer) and Natalie Sampson. We are excited to have expanded our board with enthusiastic and knowledgeable trustees who will help us in delivering our objectives and develop the overall strategy of the charity. At the start of 2020 we were lucky that two of our trustees, Kerry and Naomi, our media ambassador Jo Carnegie and UK executive director Clara Nowak were all visiting TOLFA at the same time. It was quite a rare experience to have so many of our UK team in India and this helped with team-building and the deeper understanding of the ongoing needs of the organisation. During this period we made a trip to visit Help In Suffering, another animal charity based in Jaipur. _TOLFA India & UK staff and trustees at Help In Suffering, Jaipur with their director vet Dr Jack Reece_ ## **SIGNIFICANT DONATIONS FROM INDIVIDUALS** We would like to thank the following people who have made generous donations in 2020 **Alison Jaques, Lady Odile Slynn Of Hadley, Peter Maloney, The Earl & Countess of Stockton, Lulu & Garret O’Leary, Naomi Steward, Cathy Gordon, Kay Carmichael the Duchess of Hamilton, James Lowman & Katy Horton** ## **EVENTS & FUNDRAISING** ## **VIRTUAL EVENTS** TOLFA UK attended a couple of local events at the beginning of 2020 but the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns forced us to abandon plans for the usual events we attend. To compensate for the lost income and exposure our stall usually brings in, in June we began a series of online ‘Virtual Events’. From a quiz night to a cookery class to an art class to our 15[th] anniversary afternoon tea we held a different event via Zoom every month. Our virtual events raised an amazing **£1,868** and we would like to thank all those who contributed and supported our events programme. ## **FACE MASKS & EBAY** In response to Covid-19 rules and safety TOLFA UK enlisted the help of our ‘Sewing Stars’ – a group of volunteers and home-sewists who made a unique range of face masks, with matching dog bandanas, to raise funds for our work in India. Thank you to the Sewing Stars and thank you to everyone who supported us through buying these and our other items for sale on eBay. ## **TOLFA MAGAZINE** In 2020 we celebrated 15 years of TOLFA! As a special memento for the occasion we created a magazine to share with existing and potential supporters. We are grateful to TOLFA trustee Naomi Steward for sponsoring the production through her company The Stewardship; author, journalist and TOLFA ambassador Jo Carnegie for lending her editing skills; and Anna Gyseman for her incredible work as art director. The end result is a beautiful and inspirational magazine that captures the heart and passion of TOLFA. We plan to produce the magazine on an annual basis - if you are interested in sponsoring a future edition, please do get in touch. **----- Start of picture text -----**

9 ## **WASHING MACHINE** We have been in urgent need of a proper industrial washing machine for some time. With up to 600 sick and injured animals under our care at any time we were having to wash up to 250kg of soiled blankets and surgical drapes every day. When the old machine finally broke, it was taking two staff all day to do the laundry by hand! With thanks to one very generous long-term supporter and the fundraising efforts of a few others we were able to raise the **£3,400** needed for the new machine. Not only that, but we needed to build a proper room to keep the new equipment in, so we are pleased that TOLFA India now have a built-for-purpose laundry room, to house the new machine, a couple of tumble dryers and space for a second washing machine when funds allow. This means not only does the laundry get cleaner quicker, but our staff are also able to spend more time with the animals and less time in rubber gloves! _New laundry room: last year two staff would spend all day cleaning up to 600 blankets by hand – we are over the moon to have an industrial machine now_ ## **GRANTS FROM TRUSTS AND FOUNDATIONS** We are truly thankful for the support we receive from these generous grant-makers |**Grant Maker:**|**Contributon:**| |---|---| |MarchigAnimal Welfare Trust|£14,162 for Rescue Project| |DragonfySchools Foundaton|£3,168 for Staf Sponsorships| |Persula Foundaton|£5,000 for Rescue Project| |Anonymous Trust|£3,000 for Rescue Project| |Anonymous Charitable Foundaton|£5,500 for Part of new PuppyIsolaton Unit| |Jean SainsburyAnimal Welfare Trust|£10,000 for Rescue Project| |Valerie White Memorial Trust|£500 for Rescue Project| |Animal Defence Trust|£1,000 for Rescue Project| |Bety & Bernard Davidson Charitable

Although responsible for at least 20,000 deaths a year, rabies is still not a notifiable disease in India, meaning that official records are patchy and it’s harder to measure cases and the impact of rabies prevention measures. However, through local knowledge we know that cases have dropped considerably since TOLFA began our sterilisation and vaccination work. ## **GUARD HUT / VISITOR RECEPTION** Thanks to the generous legacy left by a previous volunteer’s mother, in 2020 we were able to build our Guard Hut / Visitor Reception at the main gates. Our security guards are based at the hut and can control the coming and going of visitors and tradespeople for the security of our staff and animals. The building doubles as a Visitor Reception so that visitors have somewhere comfortable to wait (with toilet facilities) before they are shown around TOLFA by a member of staff. When the world returns to normal after the Covid-19 pandemic we look forward to welcoming visitors to our hospital again. _Our shelter dogs making use of the new Guard Hut / Visitor Reception_ ## **PUPPY ISOLATION UNIT** We regularly see dogs and puppies with highly infectious diseases and viruses such as hepatitis and distemper. These diseases are rarely seen in Europe due to a highly effective vaccination programme. We have a block of 10 quarantine kennels for adult dogs, but we had no quarantine facilities for puppies. In our existing puppy kennels we were struggling to prevent cross-contamination and saw outbreaks of disease spread through our patients which was heart-breaking. Thanks to several kind donors, from the UK and India, we have now constructed a specially designed Puppy Isolation Unit which will stop the spread of disease amongst our youngest and most vulnerable patients. The Unit has three wards: one for hepatitis, one for distemper and one as an observation ward as we assess the patient’s condition. Each ward has its own meal prep and washing area and staff are trained about ‘barrier nursing’ and infection control so that we can prevent the spread of disease between the wards. _Staff cleaning in the new hepatitis ward of our Puppy Isolation Unit_ 13 ## **DONATIONS IN KIND AND SPECIAL SUPPORT** ## **CEVA SANTÉ ANIMALE** Ceva Santé Animale is a global veterinary health company focused on the research, development, production and marketing of pharmaceutical products and vaccines for pets, livestock, swine and poultry. Ceva have kindly sponsored our new staff uniforms in 2020. For the first time we were able to equip all our staff with full monsoon-proof kit including waterproof jackets and trousers, and sturdy waterproof boots. Thank you Ceva. ## **GROUP M, LONDON** GroupM is the world's largest media investment group, and we are proud that they have been so supportive of TOLFA. Not only do they sponsor a kennel at our hospital, but their staff have been amazing fundraisers for us. ## **VET UK** VetUK Ltd is an online retailer supplying pet care products including toys, accessories, pet food, over-the-counter pet treatments, and veterinary prescription medicines. Vet UK often donate supplies to TOLFA that can be used at the hospital in India, and we are very grateful for this support. ## **AMAZON.COM** We were delighted to receive a Pandemic Year Community Grant from Amazon.com recommended through our Treasurer who works for the company. These funds contributed to the building of the new Laundry Room. ## **HOW YOU CAN HELP** ## **DONATE** **You can help us continue the work we do** .

TOLFA UK is responsible for the main project in India that is at the very core of our work and philosophy - Rescue & Care Project. India is home to about 30 million stray dogs and there are an estimated 40,000 free-roaming cows in Delhi alone. Not only is there a significant need to reduce the dog population from a public health view, many of the dogs are victims of disease and injury. Cows are also at risk from road traffic accidents, illness. and the potential fatal effects of eating plastic waste. ## **Charitable Activities** The total incoming resources for 2020 were £166,129 and the resources expended were £158,706. The charity was left with a reserve at the end of the year of £37,804. ## **Rescue and Care Project** With our animal ambulance service we respond to calls from the public about street animals that are sick or injured. Our team then either provide "on the spot" treatment or takes the animal to our hospital for care and further attention. As part of the Rescue & Care project, we have two animal ambulances; one attends cow & large animal complaints and the other dogs and small animals. In 2020, the Rescue and Care Project rescued and admitted 5,045animals and provided on the spot street treatment for a further 4,450 animals ## **Other** Our in-house dispensary runs a free clinic every day for these animals and villagers attend from the 10 villages surrounding the hospital. Most of these animals are goats and are of vital importance to their owners, who are usually subsistence farmers.In 2020 we treated 4,928animals through the RAH clinics at our dispensary ## **Reserves Policy** The reserves policy of the charity is to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a sufficient level which enables the charity to be able to operate in the short term. The remainder of the charity's reserves are distributed in accordance with its objective. The total reserves at the year end date were £37,804 of which an amount of £22,154 was held in restricted funds. This represents an increase of £7,422 in reserves over the position at the end of 2019. Despite the challenging condidtions the level of incoming funding in 2020 increased by 4% and we saw a reduction of 7% in distributed funds leading to the small surplus. The trustees therefore consider the state of the charity to be satisfactory, and that is achieving its objectives. Approved by order of the board of trustees and signed on its behalf by: **Kerry Wilkins, Managing Trustee** **Date** **2** ## **The Tree of Life for Animals Limited Company number 05460217 Registered Charity number 1120789 Independent Examiner's Report for the year ended 31 December 2020** I report on the accounts for the twelve month period ended 31 December 2020 set out on pages four to eight. ## **Respective responsibilities of the trustees and examiner** The charity's trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) 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(2) of the Charities Act 2011) and that an independent examination is required. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act - to follow the procedures laid down in the General Direction given the Charity Commission; and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention ## **Basis of the independent examiner's report** My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charities 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 statements below. ## **Independent examiner's statement** In connection with 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 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of Sections 394 and 395 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice FRS102: Accounting and Reporting by Charities 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. ## Martin Atkinson Date Address: Flat 8, 18 Upper Maze Hill St Leonards on Sea East Sussex TN38 0LG **3** ## **The Tree of Life for Animals Limited Company number 05460217 Registered Charity number 1120789 Statement of Financial Activities for the year ended 31 December 2020** |**Notes**

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a compari50n of the account5 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.
