Hundreds of soft head collars have **charity during the year** been fitted to working donkeys along with soft breaching straps, back cushions and winter coats. All tack is made at the AWOL centre using locally sourced products. The charity also makes soft dog collars and has supplied many hundreds of these, along with leads, to local dogs. AWOL was pleased to be able to take on a second vet in Luxor at the beginning of the year. Further training was arranged in Cairo specifically in spay and neuter techniques. The charity’s first vet also underwent further training in ‘Surgical Operation of Pet Animals’ and ‘Medicine and Infectious Diseases in Pet Animals’. AWOL is keen to address the problem of unwanted street dogs by offering free spay and neutering. Street dogs are often treated cruelly and even poisoned so the aim is to reduce the number of puppies born to a life of hardship and cruelty. A team of vets from the Animal Medical Centre in Cairo were welcomed at the AWOL centre in November to carry out a spay/neuter program. The charity also benefitted from a donation of 100 Pfizer rabies vaccinations which the Cairo team brought with them. A new disinfectant and sterilisation spray unit was purchased to sterilise the AWOL medical centre on a daily basis. Due to Covid-19 restrictions fund-raising events were not possible but online and Facebook fundraising continued thanks to our supporters. ## **Section E Financial review** March **2012** **TAR** 5 ## **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** The charity aims to keep reserves equal to a minimum of 6 months usual expenditure at all times. At 2020 exchange rates this equated to a sum of £12000. The charity does not receive sufficient funds on a monthly basis to cover the cost of providing its services so this contingency is essential. ## **Details of any funds materially in deficit** ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: The charity’s principal source of funds is from donations. Its other main source is fundraising - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. ## **Section F Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** ## **Signature(s)** **Full name(s)** ANGELA ROBINSON **Position (eg Secretary,** CHAIR **Chair, etc) Date** 20/11/21 March **2012** **TAR** 6 Anlmal Welfare of Luxor Receipt5 and Payments Account for the Year Ended 31st December 2020 Income Donations Glft Ald Paypal - Fundraising Virgin Money Donatior)s Fund Raising Events 26,680.00 1,811.59 3,288.19 2,302.20 2,657.28 36,739.26 enses Bank Charges Telecoms Accountancv Medical Supplies Fund5 Provided to AWOL No.7 Software & Technlcal Travel expenses Prlntln8, Postage & Statlonery Vlrgin money fees Paypal fees Miscellaneous Expenses Net Expenses 72.00 472.11 564.00 704.94 30,739.30 283.91 1,680.51 108.84 21.05 43.27 57.40 34,747.33 Profit for the Year 1,991.93 Represented by: HSBC BMM Account Paypal Account HSBC Current Account Petty Cash Account Debtor Creditors 0.02 948.98 30,461.19 0.00 0.00 -5,087.29 26,322.90 Capital & Reserves Retained Earnings Profit 24,330.97 1,991.93 26,322.90 Anlmal Welfare of Luxor Registered Charity Number 1124154 Receipts and Payments Account For the Year Ended 31st December 2020 Independent Examiners Report I report on the accounts of the Animal Welfare of Luxor for the year ended 31st December 2020 which are set out on the following pages.
