STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
PETERBOROUGH CAT RESCUE TRUSTEE'S ANNUAL REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Peterborough Cat Rescue is registered with the Charity Commissioners No. 1153044 and constituted as an unincorporated association by Deed of Trust dated 20 February 2013.
The Charity is administered by a Management Committee of Trustees comprising:
Mrs D Wilson (Chair) Mr P Wilson Mr B Chilvers Mrs E Gilks
The object of the Charity is to promote the humane behaviour towards cats by providing appropriate care, protection, treatment and security for cats which are in need of care and attention in Peterborough and the surrounding areas. We also believe that all cats should be neutered to prevent the widespread number of unwanted cats.
The Charity is administered and managed by the Trustees, subject to and in conformity with the provisions of the Scheme and such services provided by the Trustees are made on a voluntary basis. The power to appoint new Trustees is vested in the existing Trustees. When new Trustees are appointed they are given an overview of the Charity and an outline of both its operational and financial activities. New Trustees are selected in order to gain benefit from their skills and experience, to complement the existing Trustees, and to provide succession.
The Trustees can report that the management of the Charity was in their opinion completed on a satisfactory basis during the year. The Trustees have considered the guidelines issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and are of the opinion that the criteria are being met within the objectives and activities of the charity.
Review of the year
During the year the Charity managed to rehome 935 cats/kittens.
The financial position of the Charity at 31 March 2024 is considered satisfactory and more than adequate to meet the objectives of the Charity.

PETERBOROUGH CAT RESCUE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024 which are set out on pages 2 to 3.
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 required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity 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 evidence 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 statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
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
have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
