## **Objectives and Activities**
The charity's objects are twofold as laid down in the constitution:
1. For the benefit of the public to relieve the suffering of horses, and other animals, in need of care and in particular to provide and maintain rescue homes and other facilities for the homing, care and treatment of such horses and other animals.
2. To advance education in the Sussex and Surrey area in the care, welfare and management of horses and in the treatment of sick animals. In doing this we will provide a place of recreation for people to come and see and learn about the horses and other animals and spend time with them.
In order to further these objects the charity operates a rescue centre to house and care for neglected and abandoned horses and donkeys.
The aim of the Charity is to care and home as many abandoned and mistreated animals as possible.

rehabilitation process.
The rescue promotes responsible
ownership as it also ensures that all
horses and ponies are microchipped
to prevent theft, furthermore, it
makes sure each equine with its
issued with its own passport. This is a
costly process and we try to retrieve
some of these costs by asking for a
transfer donation when an animal is
rehomed.
Many of our rescues go on to provide
much loved pets for adults and
children, others have even gone on to
be therapy ponies for children with
special needs.
This year the charity has given
support to the owner of animals which
they had no longer been able to care
for due to their poor health and this
resulted in facilitating a private
rehoming.
The charity ensures all rescued colts
are castrated prior to being rehomed
in order to prevent unnecessary
breading.

## **Achievements and Performance**
SORP reference We have continued to seek planning permission, this is currently in Summary of the main process, and we eagerly await the Para 1.20 achievements of the final outcome. In support of the charity, identifying the planning an online petition was difference the charity’s launched and received more than work has made to the 67,000 signatures, many of these circumstances of its were from the local community. beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society The community events which we have as a whole. previously attended have not taken place due to the pandemic. We also were not in able to participate in our regular church events such as Easter and the Christmas nativities. We are aware that activities give a lot of joy to the local community, they also raise the profile of the horse rescue and aid with raising funds in the way of donations.
Our animals are rehomed on a loan basis and remain the under the ownership of the charity, some of our animals have been returned to the rescue, this is the first year this has happened and we attribute this directly as a result of the pandemic. Three of these have found new homes a further two are currently being fostered and will be available for rehoming in spring. In summary, the pandemic has had a significant impact on the charity but despite this we have continued rescuing and rehoming animals. This year we have rehomed 9 animals this figure include a cow and a mule. Also this year we have sadly had to say goodbye to some of our equines, this
is inevitable when taking on old and sick animals.
Work has been completed on our donkey shelter this has been extended and provides additional security and comfort. Donkeys dislike standing in a water logged field and this year we have completed works to provide a solid surface for them. This area is not subject to planning.

## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31/03/2021. **DD / MM / YYYY** .
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**
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.
