## **Report of the trustees for the year ended 31[st] December 2024**
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31[st] December 2024. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity’s trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **Objectives and activities**
The purposes of the charity are to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome, giving pets a second chance. We have adjusted our intake to just cats and dogs for the time being, having previously included guinea pigs and rabbits.
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity’s aims and objectives, in planning future activities, and setting the policies for the year.
The charity furthers its charitable purposes for the public benefit through in planning our activities for the year we keep in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit at our trustee meetings.
## **A review of our achievements and performance: How our activities delivered public benefit**
The charity was forced to move from the rented site it had occupied for the past five years. Subsequently, the numbers of animals taken into our care were reduced and eventually stopped during the 2023 period whilst the site was dismantled and put into storage. Another site was identified and a fundraising project implemented to allow the charity to purchase 4 acres of land with a stable building on it. This required further investment of time and energy to get equipment moved across and set up temporary kennelling for two of the long-term dogs. Planning applications were submitted to Oldham Planning Department with the help of MacMarshalls, a specialist rural planning consultancy. Unfortunately, the charity’s first application late 2023 was rejected along with a further amended application submitted at the beginning of 2024.
The trustees also had a further discussion in 2024 with the Chief Planning Officer at Oldham Planning Department with regards to what could be achieved on the site and whether it would be a feasible option for the charity’s requirements in order for it to continue to function effectively. This raised serious concerns by the charity trustees regarding ever obtaining planning permission hence the decision was then taken to change the way we operated in terms of kennels and cattery to foster based rescue. A recruitment campaign identified suitable candidates who were subsequently home checked. This enabled the charity to continue with our mission of helping the local unwanted pet populations.
Alongside the change of operational model the trustees also had to consider the existing role of the Centre Manager and whether that would still be required. It was decided that this role was no longer viable and the annual cost could be redirected to more animal rescue. An external Human Resources consultant was employed to manage the redundancy process (this continued into the new financial year 2025).
## **PENNINE ANIMAL WELFARE SOCIETY**
We continued to offer help with cat vouchers for neutering and financial support and food where we could. Our events calendar was full and regularly fulfilled throughout 2024 and we used this as a platform to promote the charity and raise awareness of our plight with regards to the rejected planning applications.
Rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming continued in earnest during 2024. We continue to develop great relationships with service users within the catchment area we cover as a small charity that cares for its’ animals and supports the community as much as it can. The local market stall every Thursday in Todmorden is continuing to thrive and income has trebled with the two regular volunteers who now run it. A full schedule of fundraising events benefitting the local communities was completed. We continue to use social media and the website to promote our activities and fundraising.
We have an active band of volunteers who also promote PAWS within the community. Due to the cost-of-living crisis the Trustees agreed that any excess donated animal food could be donated to local foodbanks in Rochdale, Todmorden and Hebden Bridge. We also donate to other rescues as well as offering assistance to members of the local community.
Our affiliation with the Pets at Home Foundation continues and we regularly attend their national fundraising events at our Burnley store. We also continue to access the Battersea Academy for training and updating skills for the volunteers, staff and trustees. This has proved to be an invaluable source of information and a great opportunity to share with other rescues.
## **Financial review**
0ur turnover saw a decrease in 2024 with total income at £52,083 from £81,225 (-£29,142). Expenditure decreased in line with this from £63,922 in 2023 to £48,623 in 2024 (-£15,369).
Fundraising events saw a small increase in income from £9,436 to £9592 with Miscellaneous income increased from £2,556 to £3,343. Only one grant was secured from the Animal Rescue Foundation for £3,000 (to help towards vet costs).
Claims for Gift Aid have decreased again in 2024 from £1,666 to £845. Adoptions for cats stalled over 2024 as we did not have the facilities to take them into our care. Dogs were still coming in and out but in smaller numbers. In addition, the Gift Aid claimed on the 4PAWS scheme reduced as income from it also reduced. 4PAWS income has decreased from £2,351 to £1,722. Overall donations have decreased significantly from £59,145 in 2023 to £22,846 in 2024. This is as a result of no further campaigning due to subsequent planning issues.
The market stall at Todmorden flea market has seen a significant increase in income in main due to two new volunteers who regularly attend it. Income from 2023 was £1,245 but in 2024 it leapt to £8,871 which creates a reliable source of income throughout the year for the charity. The cost of storage facilities are £1,300 p.a. making a £7,571 profit for 2024.
The cost of veterinary care decreased from £11,380 in 2023 to £9,427 in 2024 – again this is due to the reduced number of animals coming into our care. Insurance costs also saw a significant decrease
**3**
## **PENNINE ANIMAL WELFARE SOCIETY**
from £2,513 to £2,078 because the charity disposed of the off-road vehicle due to an inability to repair it and the trustees considered it an unnecessary expense if there was no chance of repair. The vehicle was sold for £450 scrap value.
Our biggest expenditure continues to be wages but there was a slight decrease to £14,519 from £14,544. There are two members of staff currently employed, one as Centre Manager and the other as Social Media & Communications Admin.
The charity has also seen an increase in the cost of fundraising, boarding and animal feed costs which has made a significant impact on income.
The cost-of-living crisis continues to impact local communities which has resulted in a significant increase in the number of requests for financial and rehoming assistance from local communities as they continue to struggle financially.
## **Investment powers and policy**
A deposit account has been set-up to set aside money for specific projects and to hold reserves.
## **Reserves policy and going concern**
The balance held in unrestricted reserves as at 31[st] December 2024 was £43,348 of which -£38,559 are free reserves, after allowing for funds tied up in tangible fixed assets.
There are currently no restricted funds held and we have fixed assets to the value of £81,907 (most of this is the land purchase).
The trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately three months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. The trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds to respond to applications for grants and ensure that support and governance costs are covered.
The Charity's main source of income is donations and grants. The Trustees consider that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis and, consequently, the accounts do not include any adjustments that would be necessary if these sources of income should cease.
## **Risk management**
The trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and systems have been established to mitigate those risks.
## **Plans for Future Periods**
The charity had planned to continue its activities outlined above in the forthcoming years subject to satisfactory funding arrangements and the continuation of foster based care for the animals until such time as it can obtain planning permission. However, further consultation with the Head of Oldham Council Planning Department, made it very clear that there would be no future in pursuing planning permission at the Delph site. Following trustees meetings held the latter end of 2024 a decision was taken to cease pursuing this course of action and to put other plans into place which
**4**
## **PENNINE ANIMAL WELFARE SOCIETY**
would allow the charity to continue to operate but fully on a foster basis rather than relying upon building out animal accommodation. The charity was offered a vastly reduced rate on 3 kennels which it took up whilst setting up the network of foster carers, this allowed more difficult dogs to be taken in and to have some one-to-one with a trainer. There was some opposition to the changes that were proposed but the majority of trustees voted in favour of them. It was also proposed and agreed that the role of Centre Manager would be reviewed as there would be no need for a member of staff in this role following the move to mostly foster based rescue. An external, independent HR company was instructed to act on behalf of the charity to consult with the member of staff affected by the decision. This consultation was ongoing at the end of 2024 and carried forward into 2025.
## **Structure, governance and management**
Pennine Animal Welfare Society is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation governed by its constitution dated 15[th] October 2014 and registration as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (Foundation) number 1159544 with the Charity Commission on 9th December 2014.
## **Appointment of trustees**
New trustees are appointed by existing trustees and serve for three years after which they may put themselves forward for re-appointment. The Trust Deed provides for a minimum of eight trustees, to a maximum of twelve trustees, with no more than four trustees due for re-appointment in any one year.
At the trustee meetings (eight per year), the trustees agree the broad strategy and areas of activity for the Charity, including investment, reserves and risk management policies and performance. The day-to-day administration of the Charity is delegated to the manager. (Any financial expenditure outside of the usual day-to-day costs is to be approved by the trustees first).
## **Trustee induction and training**
Many of our trustees are already familiar with the day-to-day working of the charity through attending our events and services. They are also given the opportunity to attend an induction into being a trustee via The National Council for Voluntary Organisations, as the charity is a member of it.
When new trustees are elected on to the Management Committee they are invited and encouraged to attend a short meeting to discuss their new role within the charity and cover:
- policies and procedures
- the obligations of the Management Committee members
- the financial situation as stated in the latest published accounts
- the day-to-day role of the Chair, Treasurer and Secretary
## **Organisation**
The trustees administer the charity and endeavour to meet bi-monthly. Regular weekly meetings are held with the Social Media & Communications Administrator.

a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any

## **Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024**
## **1. Accounting policies**
## **(a) Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern**

have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
## **(b) Funds structure**
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or trust deed. There are 0 restricted funds.
Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose.
Further details of each fund are disclosed in note 17.
## **(c) Income recognition**
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.
## **(d) Expenditure Recognition**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. For more information on this attribution refer to note (g) below.
## **(e) Irrecoverable VAT**
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.
## **(f) Allocation of support and governance costs**
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to independent examination and legal fees together with an apportionment of overhead and support costs.
Governance costs and support costs relating to charitable activities have been apportioned based on type of expense. The allocation of support and governance costs is analysed in note 8.
## **(g) Costs of raising funds**
The costs of raising funds consists of JustGiving fees, website costs, subscriptions and event costs.
## **(h) Charitable Activities**

**PENNINE ANIMAL WELFARE SOCIETY**
**12**
## **(i) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**

## **(j) Realised gains and losses**
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their varying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities.
## **(k) Pensions**
