The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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). ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** ## **Objectives and aims** All Dogs Matter is a dog rescue and rehoming charity working in and around London to transform the lives of unwanted and abandoned dogs. We also rehome dogs in need from overseas. It is our mission to transform the lives of dogs and their owners. We are passionate about dog welfare and this drives everything we do. It is our commitment to not stop until all dogs have happy and safe forever homes. We don’t discriminate against a dog’s breed or age and we never put a healthy dog down - all dogs matter! Our team and volunteers are committed to ensuring dogs have happy and healthy lives. We are stronger together and collaborate with individuals and organisations to ensure the best outcomes for dogs and their owners, even in the toughest of circumstances. We don’t shy away from difficult situations and always act in the best interest of the dogs we rescue and rehome. ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Significant activities** It has been a very challenging year for Ira Moss and her team at All Dogs Matter. There has been an unprecedented rise in the numbers of dogs either being abandoned or needing to be re-homed. Dog abandonment has been the highest we have ever experienced and is running at 50% more than last year. All of this is a predictable consequence of the surge in dog purchases and ownership during the Covid pandemic, and in its latter stages, and now we are also seeing the effects of a rising cost-of-living, which has had impacts on the ability of owners to cover the costs of keeping a dog well fed and in good health. So far this year we have taken in 420 dogs and all but a few have been rehomed. We do try to limit the use of our kennels as much as possible by sending the dogs to a fosterer before rehoming and while the office team has manged this well over the year it has not been easy and there remains a need to find more people who would be willing to foster one of the dogs while a forever home is found. The pressure on kennel space has been intense and there has been little or no spare capacity throughout the year. The trustees of the charity are currently reviewing our whole strategy for kennel provision. We need to expand what we can offer and there is a need to invest in upgrading facilities. We lack a certain future at the present site at Southend Farm since we do not have a long-term contract to lease the space occupied by our kennels and the whole site is potentially under review by the owners. Our preferred option would be to secure the present site plus additional land and we would then expand the space with our own design and management. This is being explored but whatever the outcome, we will have to invest a considerable amount of money in infrastructure and services and that is why fundraising from events and our various generous donors is still so important to our existence. Another area where we are experiencing rising costs is in the excellent services provided by the vets we use. We are very grateful for the reductions in fees they all offer to us but, overall, the headline costs are rising and we are also taking in many more dogs that have been abandoned with health issues that require urgent care before they are rehomed. Our charity shop in Muswell Hill continues to be well managed and is very successful and profitable, with welcome contributions to our running costs. There have been some staffing changes over the year with new management in place at the kennels and we have appointed an experienced part-time book-keeper in the office to help with strengthening our financial management systems. Page 1 **ALL DOGS MATTER** **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 March 2023** ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Significant activities** We have recently appointed two new trustees, Jason Alton and Alec Burns and their experience will be valuable as we continue with our plans for the future. I would like to personally thank Ira and all of the permanent and volunteer staff who help make All Dogs Matter a success for all of their commitment throughout the past year. The charity is in good hands and is well placed for the future. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Financial position** Gross income from all sources for this year totalled £423,758 (2022 - £354,076) with significantly more donations being received from the shop and adoption or rehoming. During the year there was a total expenditure of £319,030 (2022 - £298,269) and overall net income before gains and losses of £104,728 (2022 - £55,807). At the end of the year, 31 March 2023, the unrestricted funds of the charity amounted to £594,785 (2022 - £521,068). Given the current financial position of the charity and the lift of Covid-19 restrictions the charity is able to fully operate as normal and the trustees believe there is no reason the charity would not be able to meet the charity's objectives for the foreseeable future. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS Registered Charity number** 1132883 ## **Registered office** All Dogs Matter, 30 Aylmer Road Aylmer Parade London London N2 0PE ## **Trustees** Ms W Miles M Testler R Harris D Kerr Ms S Russell Ms S Furminger P J Egan J Alton (Appointed 16 August 2023) Page 2 **ALL DOGS MATTER** **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 March 2023** **REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS Independent Examiner** Harrison Beale & Owen Limited Chartered Accountants Highdown House 11 Highdown Road Leamington Spa Warwickshire CV31 1XT Approved by order of the board of trustees on 19 December 2023 and signed on its behalf by: David Kerr Page 3 ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ALL DOGS MATTER** ## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of All Dogs Matter ('the charity’)** I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. ## **Independent examiner's statement** Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of ACCA which is one of the listed bodies. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by Section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

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. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. ## **Tangible fixed assets** Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. - Fixtures and fittings 15% on reducing balance Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance - Computer equipment Straight line over 3 years ## **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.
