STRUCTURES, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and was incorporated under the Companies Act 2006 on 18[th] October 2010. Charitable status was gained on 21[st] December 2010.
The company operates throughout the UK.
The voluntary Trustees run the Charity with the assistance of voluntary Operational Leads. The Trustees make all decisions on any expenditure and set the strategic direction for the Charity. The Operational Leads take responsibility for the engagement and education of the public. They devise and revise policies and procedures, training and supervision a wide network of volunteers and adjacent organisations. Volunteer roles incl. dog walkers; cat cuddlers; administrators; fosterers; transporters; home checkers and fundraisers.
The Charity continues to cover a specific brief and mission including the following principal activities:
-
Saving Death-Row dogs: Rescuing abandoned dogs from council pounds where their lives are due to end and similarly from members of public, police, social workers, vets and other Rescues where a dog is due to lose their lives.
-
Saving Death-Row Cats: Rescuing abandoned cats from animal welfare officers, vets, other cat rescues, public and social services. We play a key role is assisting controlling feral colonies populations and neuter all received cats and kittens over 2 kilograms under our Vets guidance..
-
Education: This is to equip owners to retain their animals e.g. counselling owners on breed attributes and enabling them to understand and support their dog or at least safely hold until we can take them in. We offer this to Vet staff and other retaining animals and trying to find placement to scale ‘issues’ and ‘incidents’ with deeper understanding. We play a key role in educating our audience on the risks of off-lead management of dogs and offer key reasons why ON-LEAD is the responsible path to follow.
-
Assess intake and facilitating adaptation and trust skills: Assessing animals taken into our care and placing them appropriately within kennels, cattery and foster facilities to suit and prepare for their family forever home. Developing our animal’s self-confidence, social skills and trust within many varied settings.
-
Addressing health needs: Neutering all our dogs (exception of young puppies) to ensure no Rescue Remedies animals are used for breeding. Meeting animal’s health needs promptly in preparation for rehoming. We rarely offer Peace (euthanasia) and always under our vet’s guidance.
-
Matching animals to suitable families: Counselling families on responsible ownership and matching them with suitable animals to meet their lifestyle needs or delay taking on a pet at this stage. Ensuring receiving families have sufficient funds and able to meet welfare and skill deficit needs. Providing back up for life for Rescue Remedies animals.
-
Raising Funds to finance our Service: Fundraising through shows, campaigns, applications for grants, and appeals.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR YEAR ENDING 31ST OCTOBER 2023
-
Abandoned pets in boarding facilities or unvaccinated or conditions which need specialist care regime
-
‘Wired’ terriers.
Easy pets so often are filtered into other receiving Rescues or privately homed. The ones left come knocking on RescueRemedies’ door. Our animals are held longer and we need fundraising initiatives to support our work.
All animals are neutered (unless medically advised against) and other medical needs met e.g. dentals. Rescue Remedies at minimum, start a vaccination course. All receive a 7 day Panacur course on entry. All are microchipped and records adjusted for up-to-date information when in our care. We have access to the various databases and change details upon homing. Flea treatment is administered as judged necessary. Foster and Forever Homings are strictly vetted to ensure the safety and security of our dogs’ / cats’ welfare and future to ensure responsible ownership. We use 1 boarding establishment in Surrey to care for our dogs which has very good facilities fully available to volunteers. We also have an overspill Emergency kennels available to enable us to save lives. Foster places are used also.
Rescue Remedies does not pass dogs to other Rescues, but we do receive from other Rescues where dogs’ lives are threatened. We stand by our dogs for life and take back should their homing break down.
We are principally an online Rescue with all forms submitted online and interviews via telephone and home checks via a standard video format, Google Earth and Vet and Facebook checks. Our Homing Questionnaire, once completed, captures expectations, skills, lifestyle and circumstances.
We promote positive approaches and methods towards animals by providing appropriate care, protection, treatment, safe environments, and security. In setting our objectives and planning our activities the Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charities Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
EDUCATION AND WELFARE
RescueRemedies is one of the few Rescues who insist on our rehomed dogs being kept “On lead” for life . We educate on this on all our internet platforms. We promote 5 safety and security reasons:
-
Public Respect
-
Dog Theft
-
Dog meeting Dog
-
Human Contact and risk in public
-
Road accidents
Counselling on understanding breed traits is provided, especially terriers, staffies and large bulldogs. We offer free counselling via our enquiries/ contact emails and telephone line. Our Intake Team offer families who are trying to give their dog up and can have a new lease of heart once they accept breed traits and management keys.
Rescue Remedies continues to work closely with many police forces e.g., accepting dogs that have been the subject of cruelty cases and those surrendered or seized as prisoner property.
FUNDRAISING
Fundraising continues to be mainly through our reputation and known supports, and through our donations upon homings. Standing orders remain our bedrock, and Pets at Home (through the local Redhill store) allow us to raise funds and hold events. Locals travelling past our kennels often bring in food and blanket donations, so we are held within the heart of the community.

Intake Last Year 21/22 compared with 22/23 financial year
During 2021/ 22 Year RescueRemedies took in 127 dogs and 11 cats having formally started Cat Rescue. We successfully rehomed 124 dogs and 3 cats during the last financial year. Intake is always carefully matched against homings to maintain equivalence.
We are specialists in Terriers and Bull breeds dogs. Our main intakes are from pounds, the police and vets. We take many breed types other Rescues refuse. These dogs take longer to accurately assess, and they first need to build skills and trust, often having come from dysfunctional families. We match with appropriate families and place in responsible homes who will retain our dogs on-lead outside the home all their lives. It doesn’t escape anyone the growing intolerances to incidents outside in public spaces with dogs receiving control orders even if a member of the public believe they were frightened by their stance. Furthermore, there is an increasing risk of theft and repercussions if causing a road traffic accident.

RESCUE REMEDIES DOG RESCUE REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR YEAR ENDING 31ST OCTOBER 2023
The greatest assets in our rescue work continue to be our dogs, cats and our volunteers. Our dog Forum threads inspire people to travel long distances to offer our dog celebrities their homes. Many homers return and are delighted to see how we have matured in being reacquainted with us after the loss of their (and our) beloved dog. We have not gone down the sponsorship road where decisions are skewered away from animal’s being front and centre.
Our Financial Director manages forecasts to project into the future. Legacies are few but have enabled us to continue our work based on the goodwill we have with many individuals and other organisations. We continue to be very grateful.
The Directors/ Board of Trustees have identified ongoing objectives that work towards our long-term vision. These objectives focus on both operational and organisational issues and are shown below.
| Key Objectives 2022/23 | Key Objectives 2022/23 | Key Objectives 2022/23 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Financial security: Within the context of rapidly increasing costs, reduced income through core homings. and needing to attract active fundraisers within our volunteer base and promote Standing Order uptake |
Measures and exploration of savings and resource enhanced to support as many dogs and cats as the Charity can when Rescue places are so sparse. Despite financial stresses this is the very time our Rescue activity is so needed by so many abandoned animals. |
| 2 | Reputation Risks: Cohesive plan and approach to the new climate of organisational and individual trolling. Their intense scrutiny from malicious and suspicious and accusative small groups who seek to challenge, offer false conclusions and distortion of baseline information. This is epidemic within the Rescue World as any successful groups |
Avoiding trolling activity diverting our vision and activity from our core mission. Using inspections generated to explore and improve excellence. Avoid direct or indirect engagement as this empowers them. Explore using legal avenues to quash falsehoods and intent to harm the Rescue’s work. Gather evidence e.g. recording screenshots and investigate engagement which has unusual representation e.g. Suspect applications. |
| 3 | Networking with Cat World: Harnessing links within the Cat world, networking within London’s Cat Rescues and supporting cats in need optimising our Cattery facility granted to the Rescue by the Kennel owner |
This is to enhance Cat’s progress within our Rescue to development of Cat Cuddling service to our cats. Advertising Cats in Cat forums and social media platforms Clear signage on busy road which takes a lot of hospital and local traffic. |
| 4 | Opening up Communications further from a protective and guarded stance: Outward communication was paused due to trolling activity obsessively focused on our mode of operation and questioning motives to a dramatic intrusive scale. Systematically reviewed and resumed where possible to open up again without encouraging toxic engagement. |
Transparent dissemination of Rescues activity to educate and inform donors and supports of the achievements. Use of Social Media platforms and Forum e.g. diary and announcements to thank people and deliver outcomes and needs. Where previously hidden to select audiences opening up again having a new strategy to recognise and not encourage trolling activity again. |
| 5 | Optimise new volunteers’ enthusiasm supporting their maturation of skills. and ensuring they are embedded within our Rescue feeling welcomed and tooled to step forward. |
Cohesive relationships between experienced and new walkers and Staff. Education through information shared and feedback of which observations are red flag as opposed to assumed normal for that animal or that species. Supportive activity to enhance visits to the site. |
| 6 | Improvement ongoing news dissemination via for Walkers newsletter and cat cuddlers Whats App group. |
Positive engagement of new generation of volunteers. Negative individuals influence isolated and whilst attending to their concerns, given attention new |

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves & Investment Policy
We have very little reserves, which is a concern and we have survived with the onslaught of circumstances i.e. drop off in homing rate. Our kennels are supportive in accommodating payment dates and will continue to do so. We aim to create a more substantial reserve. We are under constant pressure to save dogs’ and cats’ lives and funds available are utilised to support this aim. We have another hard year ahead to ensure we succeed in this aim, building our standing order support will enable us to create stability and this continues to be the bedrock of our financial state.
The trustees continue to receive no emoluments.
Conclusion
The Trustees are satisfied with the financial position of the charity, noting its fragility at times and regularly review this position and take actions accordingly. In order to continue to meet our objectives a future increase in income will be required. A sustainable fundraising strategy will continue to be developed.

Accountants’ Statement: Basis of independent examiner’s report:
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioner. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
(a) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; and
-
(b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
