To rescue, rehabilitate and rehome local animals
Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document
Dogs that need rehoming for a variety of reason come to our notice and are offered a safe space with the rescue.
In the main part these dogs are placed in foster homes for assessment which is our preference. However due to the difficult nature of some of the dogs needing our help (lockdown puppies) plus a lack of experienced foster home we have been forced to use kennels much more now which has significant financial implications.
All dogs that come into our care continue to receive vet care - as a minimum a vet check, vaccinations, flea, worm and neuter. All Summary of the main dogs are chipped to the rescues details. If a dog requires further activities undertaken for medical intervention such as treatment for infection, irritation, the public benefit in dental work or anything else then they will receive it. We have relation to these objects taken in high numbers of dogs with significant health issues in (include within this the last year due to a range of reasons including owners section the statutory struggling financially and also indiscriminate breeding practises. declaration that trustees have had regard to the Once assessed in foster care our dogs are placed in suitable guidance issued by the homes.

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves
We don’t generally carry reserves, however we received an inheritance last year which was placed in reserves at the end of the financial year towards vets bills.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31/03/2022
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees, 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 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
[The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of
[insert name of applicable listed body]]. Delete [ ] if not applicable.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did 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.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
- Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply.
