Strurturei governance and management
ORGANISATIONAL STRucfuRE AND DECISION MAKING
Anlmal Concern Cumbrla is a long rtanding animal support charity originally constituted and
registered in 1982 under charity number 513091. In 2015 the charity dissolved the orlginal charlty
and became a Charitable Incorporated Organisation ICIOI registered by the Charity Commission with
charlty number 1161354. In 2021 the charity adopted 3 Foundatlon con5titutlon. The Board of
Trustees meets regularly to oversee the proper running of the charity. New trustees are appointed at
the discretion of the existing trustees a5 per the chèrity constitution. The Chief Executive Offlcer has
responsibility for the day to day operations of the charity and working woth the trustees on 5trateEY,
Compllènce. and development of the charlty. The trustees consider the charity's alms and activities
meet the Commission's requirement for public benefit.
GOVERNANCÉ
The chartty Is governed by the constltLttion document which is based upon the Charity Commission's
model for a Charltable Incorporated Organisation. The attivities of the charity are overseen by the
Board of Trustees, none of whom receive any remuneratlon. Day to day operations are managed by
the CEO and activities are ijndertaken by the staff at the Mary Irwin Centre supported by volunteers.
The trustee5 acknowledge iheif responsibilities in respect of the ongolng stewardship of the charity,
and the preparation for preparing and approvin8 both this report and the financial Statements.
FINANCIAL AND RISK MANAGEMENT
The trustees conslder the CIO charity's financial position stays robustly Secure, ai least in the short to
medium term. with reserves adequate to contiftue to support the ongoing renovation and running
costs of the Centfe. The trustees have reviewed the sen51ble level of funds to be held in reserve in
case of reduced future income. The principle source of Income continues to be from bequests. and
trustees are keenly aware of the unpredirtability of this fundin8 Stream and continue to look at
alternatlve income streams. Charitles of a 51mllar nature lean towards high street charlty Shops and
online sales to supplement income. there are also consideratlons for rLtnnin8 animal day care and
boardlng facilities on a commercial enterprlse whlch supplements rescue income,. these afe all being
assessed to decide if workable for ACC.

Achlevements and perform?nce
STRATEGY AND PLANNING
Last year saw changes to the strategic plan following our new build activities. This led us to consider
new financial aims and developments for 2023. We continued to Inc￿aSe our staff numbers ensuring
that we had sufficient qualified people who could work with us to maintaln the aims of the charity as
well as continue to care for the animals. We focussed on delivering animal welfare support based on
local needs. This has led us to bringing in Our own neuterirt8 scheme tar8etln8 male cats. We
contlnued to support the spay neuter and release scheme for feral tat colonies within the local area.
Our plans for financin8 our aims and principles are outlined in the strategic plan. Our financln8
strategy wlll contlnue to ensure that our core work Is maintained and sustalned. our objects are rnet
and that we make effective use of all financial support received. As with many other organisations
workinÉ within this sector Animal Concern Cumbria has faced nurnerous challenges throughout 2023.
We have sOU8ht bids lor our new kennel block and have secured a contratt with Easy Anlmal Ltd, to
provlde us wlth top of the ran8e kenne15 to en5￿￿ we have the best facllities for our lovely residents.
Generous legacies have meant that we have been able to look at and plan for woik wlthin the
community provSdinB affordable Vet care and a place where we can edutate the community on
better health care for their companion animals. The Management Team continue to ensure that new
facilitle5 are functional and modern. paying respect to being environmentally 5U5tainable and c05t
effective. The Board of Trustees are confident in the future of Anlmal Concern Cumbria and its ability
to contlnue servlng the Community and its animals in need.
CONTINUING OUR WORK
In 2023 Animal Concern Cumbria IACCI was faced with the impact of the change Sn law In respect of
the XL Bullles. Thls meant that a declsbon had to be taken early on whether we would accept these
dogs In, or if we would regretfully decline their entrance into the charity's care.Thls was agonising for
the team at ACC and unfortunately. being a rehoming char4ty, the decislon was made not to allow
any XL bully to be admltted to the centre as rehomlng them would not be possible. Thls would have
added additional pressure not only for the 51aff handling these do85. but the financial pressure we
would have had, to comply with the law. We have in place new assessment checks to ensure that
no dog is mistakenly refused the 5UPPOrt of ACC, a5 well as ensuring we are not put in a posltlon
where we have been left with a po55lble XL bully. Whilst we continue to push forw3id with our 51te
development, our staff and volunteers have ensured that OIJT animals in care are looked after and
enriched to the highest standard and that any medical issue is dealt with swiftly and accufately and
any aftercare Is fulfilled. We have successfully continued to support the ¢at, catch. neuter, and
release project ol feral colonie5 in the area. This reduces the Spread of disease such as feline flu.
We also introduced a new scheme where we offer a voucher for those who can satisfy means tested
eligibilities to subsidise neuter and microchipplng up to two male cats per household. The owners,
contrlbution is £10 pald to the vet at the time of the appointment. This is in the early stages of
release, and we have seen a small number of owners making use of thls scheme. Learning for the
staff and volunteers contlnued Ihroughout 2023 wrth some of our staff going to Batter5ea Oog5
Home for tralning. Their feedback wa5 very posttive. and we will look fO￿ard to continuing the
opportunrties for other staff members as they arise. Our new cat pods have been successful, and we
have seen an increased intake in the number of cats and litters of kittens coming in. Kittens are
successfully rehomed once old enough. We contlnue our efforts to support families in the
reductlon of litters by spaying the queens. Where there are high numbers of un-neutered adult cats
In a single household, we work with the families to rehome the older adult cats. Th&s

approach has been successful and moving into 2024 we continue to do thos. The charity has
contlnued to 5UPPOrt the rehoming and welfare of companion animals through direct home.to-home
adoption. fostering and providing temporary care Whe￿ owners have been admitted into hospital or
Social care, or emergency accommodation in domestic abuse situations. We have utilised food and
equipment donation5 and food banks t0 5UPPQrt these anima15. Some have been rehomed via our
'reverse matching" scheme that links animals with potential adopters alfeady tn our 5VStem. This
reduces time In the adoption process which in turn reduces stres5 for the animal. We acknowledge
the vf(al work ol our fosterer5 and extend our gratitude to those who at short notice took In
pupplesldogs that could not cope wtth being in kennels. Where we have admitted a difflcult dog,
some who came to us very scared of the world. we engaged and worked closely wlth an anlmal
behaviourist to get the best out of dogs. Where we have worked to retrain difficult dogs, they have
been successfully re-homed and our staff are gaining confidence every day from the trainin8 done
and learning passed on from the behaviourist. In addition to the daily work with animals at our
rehomlng centre. ACC also work as part of a network with other charrties where we assist each other
In animal/aiJopter assessments, transporting animals, promolin8 animals foi rehoming, and sharing
Informatlon. We believe this is an important aspect of our work In supporting not only our associates
In other charities. but the wider commLtnity. We continue to assist with the c95t of veterlnary
treatment5 throu8h our Charity's Peppa's Pot scheme - a fund that contrlbutes to veterinary costs for
one-off or emergency treatments, where owners are struggling finantially. This is funded through
several routes including specific donations from ihe public direttly to Peppa's Pot and donations
fecelved from our retail outlet collection tlrss a5 well as from our regular donators.

Impalrment of fixed a55ets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable
amount being estimated where such indicatois exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the
recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impaimients are also reviewed for
possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testin& when it is not P)55ible to estimate the recoverable
amount of an Individual a5seL an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the

Fln?nclal Instruments I¢MihrwdJ
Where Investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair vèlue can otherw&se be measured
reliably, the Investment 15 subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair v31ue
recognised In income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured
at cost less irnpairnient.
Other ftnanclal Instruments. including derlvatives, are initially reco8nised at falr value, unless
payment for an asset Is deferred beyond normal business terms or fjnanced at a rate of Interest
that Is not a market rate, In which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future
p3yment5 discounted at a market rate of interest for a slmllar debt instrument.
Other flnanclal instrufnents are subsequently measured at falr value. with any chan8es
recognised in the statement of financial attivitles, with the ex￿ption of hedging instruments In
a deslgnated hedgin8 relationship.
Financlal a55ets that afe measured at cost or amortise¢J cost are reviewed for objectSve
evidence of impairment at the end of each reportin8 date. If there Is objective evldence of
Impairment, an Impalrment loss is recognise(i untlef the appropriate heading In the statement
of flnanclal actlvitles in whlch the Inltlal 8a5rt was ￿tognised.
For all equlty instrument5 re8ardless of signifitance, and other financlal assets that are
Indivldually slgnlficant, these are assessed individually for impalrment. Other flnanclal assets are
elther assessed Indivldually or grouped on the ba95 of similar credit risk characterlstics.
Any reversals of impalrment are retO8nised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does
not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrylng amount
would have been had the impairment not previously been reco8nised.
Definod contrlbutlon plans
Contributlons to deflned contributlon plans are recognised as an expense in the period In which
the related servlce Is provlded. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent
thal the prepayment will lead to 3 reduction In future payments Of a cash refund.
When contributions are not expetted to be settled wholly withln 12 months of the end of the
reportinB date in which the employees render the related service. the liability 15 measured on a
discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the dlscount Is reco8nlsed as an expense in
the period in which it arF5es.
