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 no longer take foreign dogs as the UK is in crisis with abandoned dogs and needs support. This year we have opened a shop in Gloucestershire. And are about to open another one in Chard in 2025.
Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the	Para 1.18	The trustees are aware and have shown regard for public benefit issued by the charity commission.

Charity Commission on public benefit		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.

Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
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. But only as we have lots of sanctuary dogs that require a lot of care and vet costs. 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. We now have shop volunteers too. We have also just been granted planning on a vet clinic on site at freedom farm. We will be fundraising and applying for grants for this in the coming year. We have also improved the kennels on site and laid new flooring on most of the blocks. This is improving hygiene and the well being of our dogs. We have a collaboration with Jolleys pets store which has reduced our dog feed costs. Our Christmas calendar also proved a huge success.

Financial Review

Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	We continued to make a deficit this year of £9,837 but smaller than last years loss of £11,533. This is largely due to excessive interest costs. HSBC helped us massively when we had cash flow issues but the result is huge interest costs. Our incoming resources were similar to the previous year and despite increased interest charges we have reduced our main outgoings.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	The charity has no policy on reserves. They are designated as general unrestricted. Any 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 2025 accounts now being prepared on an accruals basis under FRS 102, closing reserves are showing at £16,891 (2024 £27,727 )
Reasons for holding zero reserves	Para 1.22	We would like to be able to hold reserves to use 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.
Details of fund materially in deficit	Para 1.24
Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern	Para 1.23

Section C Notes to the accounts (cont)

Recognition of income 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;  the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). 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. 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. Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations 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. This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. Offsetting Grants and donations Note 2 Accounting policies Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Legacies Tax reclaims on donations and gifts 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. 2.2 INCOME Donated goods 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). Contractual income and performance related grants Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. Income from membership Income from interest, royalties and dividends The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. 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 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. Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. 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. Volunteer help The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. Donated services and facilities Support costs

2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES

Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or Liability recognition constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Governance and support Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. costs Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

Debtors

Current asset investments

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.

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.

The charity 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 of loss 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.

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 2025 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.
