## **TRUSTEE REPORT FOR THE YEAR TO 31 MARCH 2022** We are very grateful for the continued support we receive but we have a mixed report to bring you. Firstly we need to begin with a very large thank you. A lovely lady, Sheila Samuels had very kindly chosen to leave us a donation in her legacy. We have received two gifts of three and then ten thousand pounds and are advised a further donation will be made. We were privileged to be one of twenty five animal charities she chose. Sheila’s donation accounts for over 85% of our surplus of £14,896. In the past we have not made a significant annual surplus and have even made losses . Our Reserves are designed to ensure our dogs could be looked after in the event of the charity ceasing. There is little doubt that in times of increased general uncertainty having a strong Reserve is essential as we are very conscious of COVID and its derivatives potential unavoidable impact on us. In our accounts we show £3,422 as donations from Labrador Lifeline which is a charity we sometimes work in partnership with and some of the monies relate to sharing costs in specific cases. The full cost of these cases is included within our Costs in our reported accounts. We rescued 37 dogs in the year (35 in 2020/21) but we believe our activity has been limited by our inability to physically move dogs due to COVID restrictions and by the number of young dogs that were acquired during the COVID lock-down period but were not kept when people returned to work. We always look to re-home our dogs for their life. The rise in the cost of living has recently hit the headlines in the UK but we have already suffered from significant increases including both vet and flight costs – yet at the same time suffered reduced flight availabilities. For example, for 2022 Bristol airport - which we used when its service started - because it was less expensive than London Gatwick - will not be receiving any dogs from Cyprus. We can not get the tests, jabs, flight, transport, additional paperwork/documentation & passports plus taxes for less than six hundred pounds whereas pre-COVID it was only circa four hundred. BREXit has not done us any favours either. We can no longer get our EU prescriptions filled in the UK and previous on-line sources have dried-up – so it now costs us more to have them filled in Cyprus while the UK Govt has introduced an import tax on our dogs in addition to the extra paperwork. The strain within Cyprus is growing with two pounds closing due to lack of funding and adoptions. We continue to look for suitable foster homes in Cyprus and the UK. Thanks go to Lesly Pizarro for continuing to manage our Monthly Draw which helps us maintain regular contact with our supporters and raises valuable funds. We would also like to thank Louise Wiltshire for her great job in managing our 2022 calendar. She is currently preparing 2023’s. Thank you. On a personal note Simon is still recovering from his accident and the subsequent surgery while he and Clare have been settling into their new home. We always close thanking our supporters and of course our adopters. The work doesn’t carry on without you but we appreciate the difficult circumstances that many have been under over the past couple of years.

The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention ## Basis of independent examiner’s report My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement. ## Independent examiner’s statement In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the - 2011 Act and • to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met or (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached Name: Mr Paul Sachs Address: Honeycroft, Week St Mary, Devon EX22 6UL Date: 2 September 2022 ## **LOVE CYPRUS DOG RESCUE** Charity Number 1162877 **ACCOUNTS FOR 12 MONTHS ENDING 31 MARCH 2022** |**INCOME**
