As set out in the constitution, the Trustees are appointed by resolution of the Trustees passed by a majority.

## **3. Activities**
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
The impetus for the Yellow Dog UK campaign came from NarpsUK, a membership organisation for pet sitters and dog walkers. NarpsUK decided to support the UK campaign designed to establish a Yellow Ribbon as an accepted symbol throughout the UK that a dog needs space because of concern how stressful it can be for a Yellow Dog and its owner when a social dog or off-lead dog approaches. They realised that gaining acceptance for the Yellow Ribbon will benefit everyone and make dog walking more enjoyable experience.
The charity have promoting the Yellow Dog concept via dog shows, its website and the distribution of general promotional material and now sells a full range of merchandise and promotional material for individuals and businesses who have yellow dogs themselves or wish to help us to promote the campaign.
## **4. Reserves**
The charity holds reserves in order to ensure it is well placed to meet challenges that may arise in the future. The trustees consider reserves to be adequate given the early stage of its existence.

## **5. Trustees' responsibilities in relation to the annual report**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare a Trustees' Report, and financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the Trustees should follow best practice and;
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates which are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

I report on the accounts of Yellow Dog Uk for the year ended 31 July 2022, which are set out on pages 6 and 7.
## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner**
The Charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not rquired for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

## **Basis of independent examiner's report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Chariy 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 you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the eidence 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 next statement.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- 1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met or
