Due to our successful fundraising campaign, we now have the money for Bird Aid to own their own site. The money is held in a red circle account whilst matters are finalised.
In 2022 the charity renegotiated our shop lease to include the empty unit next door. The new unit includes a community café and office as well as extra space for larger donations to be sold. This enables our volunteers to learn new skills and is a safe space for vulnerable members of the area to come.
Avian flu has had a huge impact on our sanctuary. Other rescues have closed their doors so we have been inundated with requests for help. Very few vets have treated Gulls so we provided an outdoor consultation area where birds could be treated and then, if needed, taken elsewhere to be quarantined. We worked closely with the Brighton rescue groups who had to provide accommodation for birds that would normally come straight here. Even with the restrictions, we still took in over 350 birds and helped many more by advising other rehabbers remotely.
Our aim in 2023 is to provide new isolation facilities and to conclude our purchase of the land.

Independent Certified Accountants' Review Report to the Director of Eastbourne Bird Aid CIO
We have reviewed the financial statements of Eastbourne Bird Aid CIO for the year ended 31 March 2022, which comprise the Income Statement, Balance Sheet and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 105 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the Micro-entities Regime'.
This report is made solely to the trustees in accordance with our terms of engagement. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the trustees those matters that we have agreed with them in our engagement letter and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the organisation and the organisation’s trustees for our work, for this report or the conclusions we have formed.
Accountants' responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion based on our review of the financial statements. We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2400 (Revised), 'Engagements to review historical financial statements' and ICAEW Technical Release TECH 09/13AAF 'Assurance review engagements on historical financial statements'. ISRE 2400 also requires us to comply with the ICAEW Code of Ethics.
Scope of the assurance review
A review of financial statements in accordance with ISRE 2400 (Revised) is a limited assurance engagement. We have performed additional procedures to those required under a compilation engagement. These primarily consist of making enquiries of management and others within the entity, as appropriate, applying analytical procedures and evaluating the evidence obtained. The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these financial statements.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial statements have not been prepared:
-
so as to give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its profit for the year then ended;
-
in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
