REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2025 STRATEGIC REPORT Finallcl41 revSew Reserves policy It is the policy of the Chatity to maintain UnTestriGt¢d fiwds that are suffi¢i¢nt fimds to cover nmlli costs for a period ofthree years. The knste&% have taken this PDJdent view in respect of reserves. This is due to the Charity's reliance upon the receipt of large legac1. These receipts ar¢ wicertain and interniitt¢nt in natttre. Note 18 to the Financial Statements shows the analysis of net assets between fimds. Unr¢8tricted fimds arnoted to £1,591.873 (2024 - £1.506.700) but only £613,307 (2024 - £480,196) ofthis is freely available because the balanc¢ is invested in fixed assets. At the cutrent level of operations. it Is anticipated that nlljning Costs for a three-year period would be in th¢ region of £1.500.000. UDrestricted reserves exceed this by around £91.873 (2024 - surplus - £6.700). The trustees will continue to monitor revenues and ¢08ts in order that the level of r¢serYes can be rnaintsined. Th¢ level of rcserves is monitored aJJd reviewed by the tntte8 at their regular n]eetings. Golng concern The finaTh¢ial ststements have been pr¢paTed on a going concern basis as th¢ trnstee5 believe that no terial uThcertainti¢s exisL The tsustees have considered tbe level of funds held and the expected level of in¢ome and ¢xpendittwe for 12 months from authorising these fmancid stateDllts. Th¢ budgeted incom¢ and expendittre is sufficient with the level of reserves for the ¢harity to be able to continue &4 a going collcern. Fund5 ID deflclt Wher¢ ar¢ in deficiL the trnstees will review these fimds to tske corrective action to bring these Into a SulUs. A rell8[ review of costs is completed by th¢ trustees to ensure that the funds remaitk as a surplus and any adveTh¢ costs are reviewed to ensure that these do not ¢&t¢ & deficit. Principal risks and uncertalndes Th¢ ¢barity cotssiders the key risks as: Difficulty in rehoming rescued animals. Many of the 8J)imals - especially dog5 -b¢i-ng brought to the Sancttiary are the victill of %Ybim buyin¢ by their owters during and after the covid-19 pandemic. Now that nornmlity has resumed, these owners have r¢ali5¢d that they don't really have time for their anin)als and are surrendering then) to Animal Rescues such as outs. The trauma caused to the anirna18 is inllneasurable and bTings out ,the WOTSt in them...to the point wbere a lot of the dogs we rehome ar¢ turned (duc to behavioural problems) shortly afterward5....causing even more stress to them and rn8king them harder to rehome for the second tijne. Failure to pennanently rebome aniEDals impacts on tbe Sanctuar)15 finances and Testricts the nurnbcr of 'frcsh' anirnals that we can tsk¢ in FlnanciAI and risk m¥nagement objectives and policies The charitys most Si8nifi¢&nt (and worrying) fiJ)ancial risk is thaL over the last two years, the Satt¢iiiary seen a marked redtion in the nuJnbers and sizes of bequests Icft in wills. bqu¢sts that have provided much. if not all, of its funding in previous years. So far, the SanctU8ry has weathered this income sbortfall in tbree ways. fjmly. by Closely monitoritig (and reducing, where appropriate) its costs. secondly, by dr&witig on its C8sh r¢serv¢s - wbich have now beell seriously d¢pleted - thirdly, througb the BoaTd of Trustees constantly seeking ways of supplementing income. To de, the Sgnctiw is benefiting financially from adding extra Do8 Boarding capacity Bod from a number of fiwd raislng events opened to th¢ public. Page 3
