OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Review of Activities

The trustees wish to formally acknowledge the huge amount of time and energy, and indeed money so freely given to Love Underdogs by their supporters and volunteers to date.

Without such help, the charity could not function.

Love Underdogs mainly supports the work of Asociatia Milioane de Prieteni in Brasov, Romania. We support their efforts on many fronts.

Our first and most involved activity of support is the rehoming of dogs, who cannot find families in Romania. Many of the dogs we rehome are less adoptable due to their age, size, health issues, conditions, or disabilities. Over the years, Love Underdogs have gathered contacts in the veterinarian profession and in the field of behaviour, supporting the rehabilitation of dogs with mental trauma. Additionally, the dog care and adoption team have built their knowledge base on behavioural rehabilitation greatly and continue to do so. Love Underdogs is now recognised by the wider rescue community as a reputable rescue also offering support to other rescues who are working with behavioural issue predominantly stemming from street origins. The charity regularly takes on cases deemed too complex for other rescues and have successfully rehabilitated and rehomed them.

Love Underdogs offers support to the Romanian shelter in the form of funds to improve conditions for the animals. These funds are used to pay staff to care for the dogs, buy vaccines and medications.

Love Underdogs and AMP started a program at the Brasov City pound, Stupini, in 2013. AMP with our financial support and that of BMT Germany, manage the care of the dogs at the pound, ensuring the dogs are grouped appropriately, that they are neutered on arrival, vaccinated, microchipped and receive adequate medical care if needed.

With regards to the operations in the UK, the management team have worked at maximising the impact of the donations by optimising the dog care and employing a very carefully hand picked team, and ongoing training.

Love Underdogs

Trustees' Report

Due to the difficulties in bringing dogs since the start of the pandemic, Love Underdogs have acted as a last resort place for many dogs already in the UK. These are mostly from Romania, imported by other rescues but whose adoption failed, and with no further avenues to find happy futures die to behaviour.

Alongside our activities we have also offered ongoing advice to other rescues wishing to gain an understanding of rehabilitation of street dogs.

We see our position going forward as pursuing our understanding of dog rehabilitation, creating 360 degree programmes to speed up the recovery times and improve our success rate on adoptions.

In this financial year, we have refined our processes and operations, and focused on training staff to have the necessary skills and knowledge base to care for the complex behavioural issues our dogs display.

Finally with regards to our global support, we continued supporting our dogs in a sanctuary in Germany, who are all still up for adoption, with some of them finding good homes through our partners.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The trustees confirm that the statements comply with current statutory requirements and the requirements of the charity’s memorandum and articles of association.

Investments held have been acquired in accordance with the charity’s power and its memorandum and articles of association.

Principle funding comes from donations from trustees, with remainder coming from monthly donations, adoption fees & Gift Aid receivable.

The Statement of Financial Activities shows a gross income of £418,333 (2022 - £445,740) and expenditure of £580,558 (2022 - £407,249). The balance held as unrestricted reserves at 31 July 2023 was £273,109 (2022 - £435,335). The unrestricted reserves are primarily to cover the development and future running expenses of the Charity.

Love Underdogs

Trustees' Report

The impact of this financial year by Love Underdogs has been mainly felt through the number of rehabilitation cases taken on by the charity. This has further contributed to establishing Love Underdogs as one of the UK experts in street dog rehabilitation, with a solid reputation among rescues. Many dogs who were due to be put to sleep have been rehabilitated and rehomed successfully.

The partnership program with AMP Romania has continued on the same basis as previously with monthly funding to the shelter and food donations from the UK.

Love Underdogs are rated on the rescue review website and have received consistent positive feedback on our care, adoption process and post adoption support. We are currently still the most rated rescue on this independent site, out of over 2300 rescue groups.

The assessment of our dogs in kennels prior adoption is paramount to the quality of our work. This is part of our pledge to have happy dogs and happy families. We have also put a lot of effort in both our pre-adoption process and post-adoption support, which continue to be adjusted as we become more experienced. The rehoming team is regularly giving advice to families, ensuring that most issues are dealt with, reducing the number of failed adoptions and dogs coming back to us due to unresolved behaviour issues. We also continue to work with a behaviourist who supports our families who need help for the lifetime of the dog.

The team is keen to continuously assess our performance and improve all areas which need attention. This ethos lies at the heart of the organization.

The Trustees have reviewed major risks and feel the systems and procedures in place are sufficient to manage the risk.

RESERVES POLICY

The balance held as unrestricted reserves at 31 July 2023 was £273,109 (2022 - £435,335). The unrestricted reserves are primarily to cover the development and future running expenses of the Charity. The Charity holds a reserves policy.

In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 July 2023

1 Charity status

The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.

The address of its registered office is: Kings Head House 15 London End Beaconsfield HP9 2HN

2 Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Basis of preparation

Love Underdogs meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for twelve 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.

Income and endowments

All incoming resources are included on the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) where the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102).

Page 13

Love Underdogs

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 July 2023

Donations and legacies

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources. Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.

Expenditure

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 the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Support costs

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Governance costs

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.

Taxation

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.

Full provision is made for deferred taxation resulting from timing differences between the recognition of gains and losses in the accounts and their recognition for tax purposes. Deferred taxation is calculated on an[un][‐][discounted] basis at the tax rates which are expected to apply in the periods when the timing differences will reverse.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated in the Balance Sheet at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. They are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £50 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Page 14

Love Underdogs

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 July 2023

Amortisation

Amortisation is provided on intangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Asset class

Website and software

Amortisation method and rate 10% straight line basis

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Asset class Depreciation method and rate
Motor vehicles 25% reducing balance basis
Office equipment 15% reducing balance basis
Kennels 15% reducing balance basis

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing. Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

Page 15

Love Underdogs

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 July 2023

Foreign exchange

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All differences are taken to the profit and loss account.

Fund structure

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objectives of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Pensions and other post retirement obligations

The company operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. The costs of employer contributions are reognised in the year they are payable.

Financial instruments

Classification

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.

Page 16

Love Underdogs

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 July 2023

Recognition and measurement

All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party.

Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.

Fair value measurement

The best evidence of fair value is a quoted price for an identical asset in an active market. When quoted prices are unavailable, the price of a recent transaction for an identical asset provides evidence of fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances or a significant lapse of time since the transaction took place. If the market is not active and recent transactions of an identical asset on their own are not a good estimate of fair value, the fair value is estimated by using a valuation technique.

3 Trustees remuneration and expenses

No trustees, nor any persons connected with them, have received any remuneration from the charity during the year.

No trustees have received any reimbursed expenses or any other benefits from the charity during the year.
