HAPPY STAFFIE RESCUE
Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2025
Constitution and Objects
Happy Staffie Rescue is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 23 June 2009 and amended 13 October 2009. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission, obtaining registration on 7 November 2009.
The objects of the charity as set out in our Memorandum of Association are as follows:
For the benefit of the public to relieve the suffering of dogs, and in particular Staffordshire Bull Terriers, which are in need of care and attention by any means which now and hereafter may be deemed to be charitable in law and particularly by:
(1) aiding dogs in distress through injury or any other cause and arranging veterinary treatment where necessary
(2) finding good and suitable new homes for dogs in our care or that come to our attention; and
(3) assisting members of the public by means of information, education or in any way whatsoever that promotes appropriate care, protection and humane treatment of dogs
We review our aims and objects throughout the course of the year. The reviews monitor what we are achieving and how we can improve. We review each key activity and look at the way in which it benefits the people we are trying to help. The review also helps us to ensure our aim, objectives and activities remain focused on our stated purposes.
How our activities deliver public benefit
Our objects are those set above under Constitution and Objects. Our charitable activities focus on those people who can no longer care for their dog(s), those looking to provide a loving new home to a dog in our care, and those people on lowest incomes who need assistance in caring for their dog(s).
The Coronavirus pandemic dramatically affected both our income, our outgoings, and the work we could do. Lockdowns meant our charity shops had to close, and there was no of operating our small rescue centre while maintaining social distancing. The kennel is also not suitable for long stays for dogs, which would have been the case as no adoptions could take place.
We strictly followed the guidance of our trade body the Association of Dog & Cat Homes and this meant that we could not accept new dogs in.
The 2023-24 financial year saw us take in 96 dogs. During this time only one dog had to be euthanised, and this was due to terminal cancer which was apparent on his arrival. The total number of dogs taken in was up 50% on the previous year (64), with an average stay of 20.1 days.
We continue to accept dogs from two main sources - members of the public who contact us to surrender their dogs, and from pounds, or more accurately 'pound pullers' who identify death row dogs, and who find rescue centre places for them. The split used to be roughly 50/50 and priority is given to staffies on death row, and then private owners in the surrounding counties who have no alternatives left and need immediate assistance. But there continued to be far fewer pound dogs than before the pandemic.
We continue to see high numbers of young dogs needing rehoming, particularly dogs that might fall into the 'lockdown puppy' group, aged 18 months to 3 years. Many of these have behaviour problems and we expect to continue to see dogs with challenging behaviours brought on by lockdowns, isolation, and social distancing for many years to come.
We continue to operate a realistic non-destruction policy which is available in full on our web site. The policy ensures that no dogs is euthanised simply because it has been in rescue for a long time. Our longest resident is a dog that we cannot rehome due to the Dangerous Dogs Act, even though she is of sound temperament. She has been with us since 2015.
Exceptions to this are dogs that are in clear pain and suffering, where there is no quality of life and no reasonable way of improving this, and where veterinary advice suggests or supports this (one case of this in 2023-24), and where a dog is clearly dangerous to humans and it is not possible to interact with the dog without serious risk of injury, and again only after veterinary advice has been sought (no cases like in 2023-24). The final category is banned breeds. We cannot accept banned breed as we are a rehoming centre, and we are not allowed to rehome a banned breed. We therefore will not be able to take in banned breeds, or dogs that may appear to be 'of type'.
We continued to be a member of the Association of Dog & Cats Home. This allows us to stay with the pool of information regarding legislative changes.

HAPPY STAFFIE RESCUE
Report of the Trustees
for the year ended 31 March 2025
We continue to have interest in our activities from across the country. The scope to which we can help is limited only by our funds and the availability of kennel space. We continue to use discretionary geographical restrictions to cater for those areas closest to where we are based. We still cover a wide area for a small charity but this we hope will reduce enquiries and better meet expectations of those looking for help. We now prioritise initially on a first come first serve basis, this is because there is always a waiting list which rarely falls below 30 dogs and runs to many months.
Changes that have been introduced to intake of dogs came about at the start of 2023. From this point all owners had to provide the microchip number of their dog before it was admitted. This would be checked against the microchip databases to ensure that person was the registered keeper.
Our web site and Facebook group continues to enable us to reach a wider audience and explain the plight of the Staffordshire bull terrier while also publicising the services we offer. Our Facebook group now has over 90,000 supporters.
Our services are available to any person regardless of gender, disability, sexual orientation, or age. However, we restrict the rehoming of dogs to persons above the age of 18, and to households where the youngest child is at least 5 years of age. This is done to ensure that the risk to the owner, the dog and to the charity is kept to a minimum and that the dogs have the best possible second chance. The minimum age level for the youngest child in the household may be set higher than 5 years if we believe it appropriate based on our observations of the dog. We would never knowingly rehome any dog that we believe would present a risk to any person or animal without making it clear to the potential owner. To reinforce this our web site provides basic information on each dog regarding their suitability with other dogs, cats and children.
The main areas of charitable activity are funding for the care and safe kennelling of dogs that come into our responsibility, including veterinary treatment as required. Every dog that comes into our care is neutered and micro chipped. If a dog comes into and leaves out care in a short period of time it may not be possible to undertake these procedures, but the rehoming will be done only on the basis that these are undertaken, and the charity will fund the cost of doing so up to pre-agreed limits.
In addition to this we have undertaken the services of dog behaviourists, to help dogs with behavioural problems. These can be expensive, but we feel in having a non-destruction policy they enable us to try our very best to resettle dogs in loving new homes. These costs obviously affect how many dogs can come into our care.
We suggest a contribution at the time a dog may be surrendered to us, though compassion must be considered as often those surrendering their dog are not able to make a financial contribution. Likewise, a contribution is asked when a dog is rehomed. This is a requirement as it is a contribution towards the cost of caring for the dog or neutering and micro chipping it and any additional help and advice that might arise. While a recommended donation of £200 or more (in line with most other dog rescues) this amount is a contribution for the dog, though there are occasions when new owners offer higher amounts voluntarily, and likewise when this amount may be lower.
We aim to support our new owners as they take the first steps in rehoming a previously unwanted or abandoned dog and recognise that this can often be challenging period.
The trustees have complied the Charities Act 2011 having due regard to public benefit guidance provided by the Commission.
Our volunteers
In addition to our trustees who undertake voluntary activities without recourse to any payment and who during the course of their activities have not claimed any expenses, the charity has successfully maintained a team of more than 150 volunteers who help us with dog walking, welfare activities and fundraising. They have helped in our rehoming centre, charity shops and at our attendance of carnivals, fetes and country shows.
Organisation
The charity is governed by the directors (the trustees of the charity) who are the members of the charity who meet regularly throughout the year. The current chair is Mark Hannaford who took over the role on 9 January 2017 and was reappointed on 11 June 2023.

HAPPY STAFFIE RESCUE
Report of the Trustees
for the year ended 31 March 2025
Objectives are also set by the Senior Management Team, originally comprising volunteers and employees who undertake day to day management of the charity. There were original three main roles within the Senior Management Team - Operations Manager, Welfare Manager and Finance & Admin Manager. However, when the rehoming centre opened the Welfare Manager role was split into Intake (dogs coming in) and Adoptions (dogs going out). Surrenders became part of Operations, and Adoptions became part of Finance & Admin.
During the start of 2023 there was a reorganisation that put all of Intake and Adoptions with the Finance & Admin Manager, and the Welfare Manager role because responsible for the management of the day-to-day welfare of the dogs in our care. The Welfare Manager is line managed by the Finance & Admin Manager, meaning that the Senior Management Team now comprises Operations (Retail, fundraising), and Finance & Admin (Intake, Adoption, accounts, HR, estates).
The Management Team report directly to the trustees and ensure the objectives of the charity are managed on a day-to-day basis. The charity does not have a chief executive post because of its size and the directors are satisfied that the requirements to effectively manage are currently being undertaken by the Senior Management Team.
The Operations Manager oversees retail and fundraising including line management of retail employees as well as providing leadership and advice in other areas. The Finance & Admin Manager is responsible for day-to-day accounts, governance issues, human resources, payroll, contracts, compliance, risk assessment and acts in some manner as a Company Secretary, as well as now managing the whole Intake and Adoption process.
Under the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 the charity does not have a Company Secretary.
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 the charity is not required to have an Annual General Meeting, though it may at any time call a user's meeting if one is required.
The charity is exempt under Section 60 of the Companies Act 2006 of using the term "limited" in its name.
The charity has at present one class of member, they are the original subscribers of the Memorandum and Articles of Associations and those persons as directors since. The charity reserves the right as contained within its governing document to create different classes of membership as it requires. The Happy Staffie Rescue Supporters Club is not one of these classes and is an informal club to provide financial support to the charity.
The customary approach to the appointment of a new trustee is for an existing trustee to nominate an individual for consideration, usually based on their voluntary work experience, and/or their involvement in animal welfare or the Staffordshire bull terrier community. This person will then be invited to meet with the Board of Directors and if willing will be voted in as a director by the existing directors. Alternatively, members of the Management Team may suggest individuals for consideration. Applications from members of the public are permitted at a time and date set by the directors.
Financial notes, amendments
The charity continues as with other retailers to attempt to protect itself against theft and loss of funds. During the year the charity again received counterfeit bank notes. The charity continues to use counterfeit note reading devices and pens and trains staff to be aware of counterfeit notes.
Principle funding sources
At the start of the financial year the main source of our income was our three charity shops in Kidderminster, Stourport and Bewdley. The next major source of funds is regular monthly donors, and general donations. Other sources of income have included our stalls at carnivals, fetes and country shows and a series of car boots.
Investment policy
Funding pressures have again prevented the charity from having the funds necessary to have a formal investment policy.
Future funding
The charity planned a larger number of fundraising events for 2024, including another of our successful Family Fun Day & Dog Show events in August 2024.

HAPPY STAFFIE RESCUE
Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2025
Risk Management
As in previous years 2023/24 saw the charity task Jonathan Gittings to undertake a new complete review of our risks. The risk assessment was presented to the trustees in December 2023. The trustees are satisfied with the level of risk involved with the work we undertake and has arranged for suitable insurance to cover events, employee liability, fidelity, trustee indemnity, personal liability. Elements of the risk assessment are reviewed depending on their individual requirements.
The directors review all potential risks at the earliest stages of formation and this process has continued with the Finance Manager taking the day-to-day lead.
Short term risk
Our short-term risk assessment was found to be unacceptable in the face of the Coronavirus pandemic. This event caused all our shops to close during March, depriving the charity of a huge amount of its day-to-day income.
While in normal circumstances the chance of more than one shop being closed for an event of any kind is minimal, the pandemic has forced the charity to look at its reliance on charity shops. Donations continue to grow as a source of funds, but not to the point where they can fully fund the current welfare activities of the charity.
Expenditure
There are no planned changes to charity expenditure other than trying to ensure value for money, reducing waste and maximising the value of donations. The large increases in the National Living Wage have put increasing pressures on the charity, and we had hoped that the 2024-25 increase would provide some respite to these increases, but a 8.4% increase will put further pressure on the finances of the charity in 2024-25 year.
Reserve policy
Current interpretation of guidance from the Charity Commission has suggested we adopt a more detailed reserve, that better relates to our business. This reserve is based on the calculations of the Risk Management assessment, which is detailed earlier in this report.
However, as a small charity it is very difficult to raise and maintain a reserve sufficient to cover unforeseen loses of income, or long periods of time. One charity closed for 3 months would lose the charity £4,500-6,000 in income. Equally, veterinary costs vary from month to month, from lows of around £1,600 a month up to £3,000 a month.
In managing the finances, the charity, under the guidance of Jonathan Gittings forecasts spending and income on a monthly basis with forecasts going forward for the next 16-20 months. This is necessary as significant costs and incomes change during the course of the year. For example, the National Insurance Employers Allowance is a significant cost reduction for the first half of the year. Likewise, December normally sees a dramatic reduction in income with shops closing for the festive period, and a reserve just to get through December of £7,000 is needed every year. We countered the latter in 2023-24 by deciding to open the charity shops for more days in December, and reduced the losses incurred that month.
Therefore, this year, and going forward the charity will continue through the work of Mr Gittings continue to actively monitor income and outgoings, and where the need arises forewarn the management team and the trustees of potential problems ahead.
Trustees' responsibilities
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the year and its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those statements, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

HAPPY STAFFIE RESCUE
Report of the Trustees
for the year ended 31 March 2025
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Notes to the Financial Statements
1. Accounting policies
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The trustees have reviewed and considered relevant information, including the annual budget and future cash flows in making their assessment. Based on these assessments and the current resources available, the trustees have concluded that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
| Kennel Costs | - 25% on reducing balance |
|---|---|
| Fixtures and fittings | - 25% on reducing balance |
| Motor vehicles | - 25% on reducing balance |
| Computer equipment | - 33% on cost |
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
