IRISH RETRIEVER RESCUE

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The objectives of the charity is to relieve the suffering of golden retrievers who are in need of care and attention by reason of being unwanted, unhealthy, old, abused or maltreated. This will be achieved by the provision of veterinary attention, rehabilitation and rehoming thereby enabling the dogs to live out their lives in a comfortable and caring environment.

Significant activities

To assess, rehabilitate and rehome all the dogs which come into our care to new homes and to raise the profile of Irish dogs as a viable option for those considering rehoming in the UK.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Fundraising activities

The principal source of funding is the money received from people adopting the dogs where the charity ask for a donation to cover the cost. The donations do not cover all the costs, particularly the large veterinary bills incurred for some of the dogs, and other traditional forms of fundraising make up the shortfall.

During the year to 31 August 2021, Irish Retriever Rescue successfully rehomed 31 dogs to their forever homes. The Charity is committed to providing on-going medical cover for life for any conditions identified at the point of rescue. The Charity will never refuse to rescue any dog due to health, age or condition.

FUTURE PLANS

The impact of Covid was fully felt during this financial year and was reflected in the lack of dogs coming into rescue, this has affected the regular income. We were however, very fortunate to be gifted a very generous donation and 2 substantial bequests. These meant the aims and function of the rescue were not impacted and therefore allows us to continue these into the next financial year.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

Irish Retriever Rescue is constituted by a Deed of Trust adopted on 8 September 2012 and is an unincorporated registered charity.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

Trustees are appointed by the board on renewable two year terms.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF IRISH RETRIEVER RESCUE

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Irish Retriever Rescue

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Irish Retriever Rescue (the Trust) for the year ended 31 August 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all 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 Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

2. the accounts do not accord with those 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.
