Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governingdocument	Para 1.17	To provide veterinary care, free treatment and tack for the animals in the rural farming communities in Egypt.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	The charity provides free veterinary care for all animals in Egypt. The majority of treatment is for working donkeys and dogs but includes any other animals belonging to the people of the impoverished rural areas in Luxor, Egypt. The charity also provides free soft tack, dog collars and horse/donkey blankets. The charity’s partner charity in Luxor works out of a small veterinary centre on the west bank of Luxor and we also fund additional mobile clinics into the rural villages on a regular basis. AWOL endeavours to educate the local animal owners and the children in good animal care. Much of this needs to be carried out verbally as some of the local people are illiterate with almost no education.

Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	In 2021 AWOL experienced difficulties with the local manager of the veterinary centre in Luxor which is run by our sister charity registered in Egypt. AWOL’s managing trustee Angela Robinson successfully lodged a formal legal complaint against this man at the court in Luxor. This culminated in the trustee and management team at our sister charity in Luxor being removed and replaced. The new team are much more enthusiastic and committed to the future success of the charity and have made a number of improvements since they were appointed in October 2021. The veterinary centre has been improved, security cameras have been installed and new flooring installed. The new team have worked closely with our managing trustee to discuss and plan further improvements and the future direction of the charity. Mobile clinics have been increased when funds allow so we can reach as many animals as possible and plans are in place for a full-fitted operation room which will be of great benefit to the animals in need.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	The charity ended the financial period with retained funds of £31831. £10000 of this is identified to cover improvements at the vet centre in Luxor. £18000 is to cover 6 months’ normal runningcosts.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	The charity aims to keep reserves equal to a minimum of 6 months usual expenditure at all times. At 2021 exchange rates this equated to a sum of £18000. The charity does not receive sufficient funds on a monthly basis to cover the cost of providing its services so this contingency is essential. Inflation in Egypt is expected to rise again in 2022 so tight financial control is essential.
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	£31831
Reasons for holding zero reserves	Para 1.22

Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern	Para 1.23
