DAYBREAKS TRUST TRUSTEES’ REPORT
The Trustees present their report and the unaudited financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2025. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the Daybreaks Trust (“the Charity”).
NATURE OF THE GOVERNING INSTRUMENT
The Trust was established under a Declaration of Trust dated 16 April 2011 as last amended on 6 July 2025. The Trust registered as a Charity (registered Charity number 1142270) on 6 June 2011.
TRUSTEES
The Trustees who held office during the year were as follows:
Catherine Locke – Chairperson (appointed 12 May 2024) Richard Woolmington Rosemary Plackowski Angela Scholey Jenni Fryer (appointed 12 May 2024) Ben Sambrook (appointed 12 May 2024) Aubrey Arrowsmith (appointed 23 October 2024) Maud O’Brian (appointed 23 June 2024, resigned 29 September 2024) Ian Blaynee (resigned 4 July 2024)
Angie Scholey, Rosie Plackowski and Richard Woolmington were all re-elected to serve as Trustees for a further 3 years
As the Charity becomes aware of individuals with an interest in the Charity’s activities, or where it is perceived that a Trustee can complement the skills held by current Trustees, they put in place a plan to train them.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
The object of the Trust is to apply the income of the Charity in furthering the following objects:
-
(a) To relieve the suffering of greyhounds registered with the Greyhound Board of Great Britian in need of care and attention;
-
(b) To provide and maintain rehoming kennels for the care of such registered greyhounds.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year.

OVERVIEW OF THE YEAR
This has been a year of change with two valuable and long-standing senior members of staff leaving, a number of new recruits joining and the strengthening of the Board of Trustees with four new appointments. Despite all of these changes, the dedicated team demonstrated a strong commitment to the Charity, and the greyhounds it supports, and delivered a positive contribution to unrestricted reserves for the first time in a number of years.
Staff
We said goodbye at the end of August 2024 to Ruth Price, Manager and Founder of Daybreaks Trust 18 years ago. We also said goodbye to Jo Vaughan (Assistant Manager) in September 2024. We welcomed Luci Foulkes as the new Manager in May 2024 and 3 new casual kennel hands in November 2024.
Events
We hosted a number of events at the kennels:
-
A summer fayre/ Daybreaks Trust Birthday Celebration in June 2024 when we formally said ‘good-bye and thank you’ to Ruth.
-
The Santa Paws Christmas Party in December 2024 was cancelled due to Storm Darragh but re-branded and held as a Valentine’s Day event in February 2025.
We also welcomed a team from DHL for a day’s corporate volunteering with thanks.
Dogs
We successfully rehomed 68 greyhounds during the year whilst choosing to accept 15 returnees.
We also helped support two long-term fosters during this period:
-
Caesar, who has cancer.
-
Maya, who had been returned in June 2024 age 12 after a change in family circumstances.
-
We were all extremely pleased to see Monty, one of our longest stayers, off to his forever home in December 2024.
Infrastructure
The Charity is still awaiting the settlement of our landlord and friend, Bob Shannon’s estate, who died in June 2023. We continue to operate with security under the terms of the prevailing lease agreement.
We have developed a new website to improve information flow and contact with the public. We have also improved our IT infrastructure to make the day-to-day operations of the kennels, reporting and governance more efficient.
Other
In February 2025, we were one of the thankful beneficiaries of a Pets at Home ‘give away’ of damaged or returned food stock for the benefit of our kennel greyhounds.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED)
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The results for the year and financial position of the Charity are shown in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 7 and Balance Sheet on page 8.
The gross income of the Charity for the year ended 30 April 2025 amounted to £193,477 (2024: £225,676). Direct Charitable expenditure in the form of the day-to-day running of a greyhound kennels totalled £175,956 (2024: £220,339), fundraising costs of £18,008 (2024: £11,127) and governance costs of £2,100 (2024: £2,100). This resulted in a balance of net expenditure of £2,587 (2024: £7,890 net expenditure) deducted from reserves.
RESERVES POLICY
At 30 April 2025, the Charity held reserves of £100,902 (2024: £103,489). This was split between restricted funds held for specific restricted purposes of £24,163 (2024: £27,948) and unrestricted funds of £76,739 (2024: £75,541).
The annual unrestricted expenditure for the year for the on-going charitable activities before any exceptional costs was £172,171 (2024: £207,078). The unrestricted cash reserves, therefore, represent approximately 5 months (2024: 4 months) of annual expenditure. The Trustees consider, given their experience following the Covid crisis where there could be no greyhound rehoming or fundraising for a number of months, and the following cost of living crisis, these reserves are below the levels that the Charity requires. They will look to increase the reserves to a minimum of 12 months over the medium term. Reserves are necessary because:
-
The rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of a greyhound can take a significant period of time as we always ensure the owner and greyhound are properly matched so it can be their “forever home”.
-
The Charity relies on donations, legacies and fund-raising which can result in the amounts received being sporadic in receipt and irregular in value.
-
During the day-to-day use of the facilities they suffer wear and tear. Funds need to be accumulated in preparation for replacement of fixed assets and refurbishment projects to the kennels and other buildings to ensure they are maintained in a good working condition.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
The Trustees intend to continue to develop and improve the kennels at their site in Elmdon.
The rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of greyhounds registered with the Greyhound Board of Great Britan continues to be challenging with the key uncertainty facing the Charity from the impact of the economic pressures on household disposable income due to continued economic inflationary factors arising from local economic uncertainty and global conflicts. The continued cost of living crisis has resulted in less disposable income for households which in turn has reduced demand to adopt a greyhound. Equally, the increase in inflation has impacted fuel and food prices increasing the costs incurred by the Charity and the Charity’s employees and volunteers.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED)
TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom accounting standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to Charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the incoming resources and application of the resources of the Charity for that year. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP (FRS 102)
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
act in accordance with the rules of the Charity, the Charity Commission and the Trust Deed;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures discussed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust Deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
STATEMENT OF DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO INDEPENDENT EXAMINER
We, the Trustees of the Charity who held office at the date of approval of these financial statements, as set out above, each confirm so far as we are aware, that:
-
there is no relevant information of which the Charity’s Independent Examiner is unaware; and
-
we have taken all the steps that we ought to have taken as Trustees in order to make ourselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the Charity’s Independent Examiner is aware of that information.
Approved by the Trustees on 23 February 2026 and signed on its behalf by:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER
TO THE TRUSTEES OF DAYBREAKS TRUST
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF DAYBREAKS TRUST
I report to the Charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 30 April 2025, which are set out on pages 7 to 17.
RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF THE 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 Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
(1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
(2) the accounts do not accord with these records; or
-
(3) the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
I have no concerns and have come across no 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Charity status
The Charity is constituted under a Trust Deed in the United Kingdom and registered with the Charity Commission in England. The address of the principal office is given in the Charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the Charity’s operation and principal activities are given on page 2.
b. Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” as applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102) applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention.
The Trust, as a small charity, is exempt from the requirements to prepare a Statement of Cash flows.
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the pound sterling (£).
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
c. Fund accounting
Unrestricted Funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objective of the Charity and which have not been designed for other purposes.
Designated Funds comprise Unrestricted Funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted Funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements
d. Income recognition
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities “SOFA” when the Charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy and it is probable that the income will be received.
For donations to be recognised the Charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the Charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.
No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS102).

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
d. Income recognition (continued)
Gifts in kind donated for resale are not recognised in the financial statements until they are sold, since it is impracticable to establish a fair value of the items due to the volume of low value items. This income is recognised in “Income from other trading activities”.
For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the Charity being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received. At this point income is recognised. On occasions legacies may be notified to the Charity, however it is not possible to measure the amount expected to be distributed. On these occasions, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed.
Income from Government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the Charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.
e. Expenditure recognition
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:
-
Cost of raising funds includes attendance at shows and exhibitions to raise the profile of the organisation and the sale of purchased goods.
-
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the rescue, rehoming and rehabilitation of greyhounds by provision of kennels and the associated day to day administrative costs of running a kennels.
-
Governance costs represent costs incurred in being registered as a Charity.
f. Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:
Plant and machinery 20% to 33% on straight line Motor vehicles 25% on straight line Computer Equipment 25% on straight line
g. Stocks
Stock is stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Costs includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing stock to its present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the first in first out formula. Provision for damaged, obsolete and slow-moving stock where appropriate.
Donated stocks are not valued until sold as detailed in (d) above.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
h. Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
i. Tax
The Charity is exempt from taxation under section 506(1) of the Taxes Act 1988 on the basis that the Trust is recognised as a Charity by the Inland Revenue according to the terms of the Trust Deed dated 16 April 2011.
j. Employee benefits
When employees have rendered services to the Charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service.
The Charity operates a defined contribution pension plan for the benefit of its employees. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Charity in the name of the employee. Contributions are expensed as they become payable.
k. Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees consider that no material uncertainties exist. The Trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the Charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

FUNDS DESCRIPTION
Unrestricted funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objective of the Charity and which have not been designed for other purposes.
Restricted funds
Building fund
The building fund has been set up to raise funds specifically for the purchase of land and buildings to house the Charity and its operations and for its general upkeep.
Gate fund
This represents a specific grant received for the purchase, installation and upkeep of gates at the Charity’s headquarters.
Caesar fund
The Caesar fund relates to money raised from fund raising to support a greyhound named “Caesar” and other greyhounds in the Charity’s care with ongoing veterinary fees due to ongoing health issues.
Dog lounge fund
The Charity identified the need to socialise the greyhounds to live in a home environment that may be different from their former life or time being housed in the kennels at Daybreaks. Therefore, a fund has been setup to recreate a home lounge setting to assist the greyhounds in acclimatising to their new “forever home” environment.
