Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31 March 2021

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

To relieve of suffering and meet the needs of abandoned, unwanted, homeless, abused or distressed animals, particularly, but not limited to cats and dogs by such means as the Trustees decide including the following:

We also aim to facilitate the advancement of education to the general public in matters relating to animal welfare and by this means preventing animal cruelty and suffering.

Significant activities

We rescue and rehome abandoned and unwanted pets; we also educate the public as to how they can help look after their animals.

Public benefit

For the public benefit we relieve of suffering and meet the needs of abandoned, unwanted, homeless, abused or distressed animals, particularly, but not limited to cats and dogs.

Volunteers

There are fifteen volunteers including trustees.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

Due to COVID the majority of our income this year has come from donations. Thankfully these have helped to maintain our total income at a similar level to the previous year.

We have been able to re-home around 60 dogs and 70 cats this year. Due to COVID we didn't re-home as many animals this year compared to last year. This was because we had to close the door to home checks, adoptions and foster requests for some parts of the year.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

During the year the charity had a net surplus of £4,167 (2020 - £8,054). This gave a carried forward surplus of £27,912 (2020 - £23,745). All of the funds held by the charity are classed as unrestricted funds.

Reserves policy

We aim to retain sufficient funds for at least three months worth of expenses, so we may continue our charitable activities of helping animals for this period of time should there be no donations incoming. At the year end our reserves were sufficient to cover almost five months worth of expenses.

FUTURE PLANS

Our plans for the future are to get a one larger shop after the closure of our Sedgley shop. We will also strive to continue in our work to save the lives of suffering, abandoned, unwanted, homeless, abused and distressed animals.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Ravens Rescue UK

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Ravens Rescue UK

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Ravens Rescue UK (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all 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 giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do 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.
