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.

We have once again been able to open up to real fundraising events.
Unfortunately a big dog show and display we were doing as part of a local agricultural show was cancelled in the summer due to extreme heat!
You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about:
- policy on grantmaking;
- policy programme related investment;
- contribution made by volunteers.
Our fundraising volunteers team is strong and we have people now who are independently organising events for us such as a sponsored walk and a physic evening.
Face to face Homechecks have resumed properly now – in the next year we are looking at extending our team who do this for us as we have lost some since covid restrictions were in place.
The treasurer has continued to seek appropriate Grant Funding and liaisse with local businesses for fund raising reasons.
Our Strategic development plan has continued to inform the way we develop the rescue and make sure funds are sustainable for the future.

## **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. Due to our shop and daycare being closed for four months and the difficulties of successful fundraising we have had to use some of this but only where necessary.

Pendle Dogs In Need
**On accounts for the year ended**
March 2022
**Charity** 1155298 **no (if any)**
**Set out on pages** 1 and 2
(remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets)
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._
