From: 01/02/2022 To 31/01/2023

Charity name: Rushton Dog Rescue

Charity registration number: 1139999

Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	The charity's objectives and principal activities as set out in the Amended Constitution continue to be that of Animal Welfare. For the benefit of the public to relieve the suffering of dogs in need of care and attention and, in particular, to provide and maintain kennels or other facilities for the reception care and treatment of these dogs. And to promote humane behaviour towards animals by providing appropriate care, protection, treatment and security for animals which are in need of care and attention by reason of sickness, maltreatment, poor circumstances or ill usage and to educate the public in matters pertaining to animal welfare in general and the prevention of cruelty and suffering among animals.
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 main activities of the charity were continuing to re-home unwanted or mistreated dogs and to find them new forever homes. We have tried to start making the public more aware of the effects of ‘back yard breeding’ and to try and support local families with help with the cost of neutering dogs. We are trying to find quality homes for many dogs in our care because of covid breeding. Many have extreme issues and sadly won’t be able to live in normal homes. We have had to stop saving foreign dogs as the demand to rescue in the UK is worse than it has ever been. We have just managed to secure a new shop that is opening in 2024, which will bring a huge support for the dogs we so desperately need to survive.

Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit	Para 1.18	The trustees are aware and have shown regard for public benefit issued by the charity commission. Rushton Dog Rescue was set up to reduce and rehabilitate the number of stray and ill-treated dogs. Most of which was created by the public. Rushton work hard to reduce and eliminate strays and recover illtreated dogs. Rushton dog rescue are trying to educate the larger public of the importance of neutering and not breeding dogs for profit. The trustees are satisfied that the benefit aspect and public aspects are satisfied.

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	We continue to find more foster homes to temporarily house dogs. Lots of these are available at short notice. The number of dogs we have rehomed this year has been disappointing. We hope things will improve in 2024. We continue to develop a large number of supporters and followers. Rushton also has a number of volunteers that work on site at Freedom Farm and help with the rehabilitation of dogs and or their transport to the UK.

Financial Review

----- Start of picture text -----
Review of the charity’s financial Para 1.21 Covid still has an impact on the charity. Whilst
position at the end of the peoples attitudes are starting to change to
period socialising, we are now paying for ‘covid
puppies’ where people thought it was a good
idea and now post pandemic can no longer look
after their dog.
We have kept in control of our finances
extremely well up until June 2022 when we
suffered a bereavement and had to close our
boarding as it was just starting to accommodate
the dogs from Dog Bus after the loss of our
fellow rescue worker this has put a huge strain
on finances, and we hope to be able to reopen
the boarding the end of January 2024 which is
needed to maintain income. We have a high
amount owed to creditors as we simply have
not had enough funds in to pay for everything
and day to day costs like utilities have risen
drastically.
Statement explaining the policy Para 1.22 The charity has no policy on reserves. They are
for holding reserves stating designated as general unrestricted. Any
why they are held reserves that are generated will be used to fund
the charities main objectives like for vet,
transport and or housing costs etc.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 As a result of 2022 accounts now being
prepared on an accruals basis under FRS 102,
closing reserves are showing at £38,261 (2022
77,746 )
Reasons for holding zero Para 1.22 We would like to be able to hold reserves to use
reserves for future projects and rescue missions.
However, this is hard to plan as they often
occur spontaneously which means we cannot
predict or budget for them to occur. We could
provide a contingency for such an occurrence
but all donations received are ear marked for
existing dogs/ rescue missions this is
impractical to do.

Section C Notes to the accounts (cont)

Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME

This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.

Recognition of income Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated services and facilities Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Income from interest, royalties and dividends This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Income from membership subscriptions Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:  the charity becomes entitled to the resources; · it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and  the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Donated goods Contractual income and performance related grants Offsetting There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Legacies Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Tax reclaims on donations and gifts Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. Volunteer help Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report.

2.4 ASSETS  Intangible fixed assets Heritage assets Current asset investments The charity has has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short term cash commitments as they fall due. They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments. Debtors Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. Stocks and work in progress Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net realisable value. Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock. Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. They are valued at cost. Investments Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments Grants with performance conditions Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. Grants payable without performance conditions Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised. The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody or legal rights. The amortisation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.5 They are valued at cost. The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic, scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. The depreciation rates and methods used as disclosed in note 9.6.1.4. This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. 2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES Liability recognition Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Investment gains and losses The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP. Tangible fixed assets for use by charity The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.2. Governance and support costs Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Settlement of insurance claims Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA. They are valued at cost. These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least Redundancy cost The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. Deferred income No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. Creditors The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts Provisions for liabilities A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date Basic financial instruments

Independent examiner's report on the accounts

Section A Independent Examiner’s Report

Report to the Charity Name trustees/directors/ Rushton Dog Rescue members of On accounts for the year 31 January 2023 ended Charity no.: 1139999 Company no.: N/A

Set out on pages 1-5 of Trustees Annual report and 1-16 of the Annual Accounts

(remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets)

Respective The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of responsibilities of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees and examiner charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

• examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,

• to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and

• • to state whether particular matters have come to my attention

Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given examiner’s statement by the Charity Commission. 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 seeking explanations from the 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 material matters have come to my attention (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

• accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or

• the accounts do not accord with such records; or

• the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

•the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).

I 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.

• Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply.
