|Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|A National UK Network for the benefit of the public to
relieve the suffering of Poodles which are in need of care
and attention and, in particular, to provide and maintain
rescue and foster homes or other facilities for the
reception and care of unwanted Poodles and the
treatment of Poodles.|
|Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17
and 1.19|Poodle Network UK's objective is the advancement of the
welfare of Poodles.
We provide a public advice and education service for the
owners and potential owners of Poodles in person, over
the telephone, via websites and over social media. We
offer free guidance and education to the public on poodle
welfare in general and to the prevention of cruelty and
suffering in poodles. We provide free public advice on the
grooming needs, dietary requirements, veterinary care
and treatment & hereditary issues, and behavioural issues
of Poodles. We are the registered Breed Rescue for all
sizes of Poodles with the Kennel Club and were invited by
the Kennel Club to educate people at Discover Dogs
about poodles and owning poodles.
We offer a nationwide rescue and sanctuary service for
Poodles, working with councils and dog wardens, the
RSPCA, Dogs Trust and other charities to remove
Poodles off the streets and to care for and rehabilitate
abandoned, mistreated and lost Poodles.
We have both temporary and permanent foster homes to
give sanctuary and shelter to poodles which need it due to
sickness, mistreatment, poor circumstances or ill usage
and to provide the poodles with care, protection, medical
treatment and security they need and to rehabilitate the
poodles to enable them to be rehomed where possible.
We provide veterinary care and treatment to Poodles
under our care.
We neuter and spay all the poodles coming into our care
to ensure there are no unwanted or unexpected litters of
puppies. We have actively fundraised throughout the year
to raise the needed funds to care for the Poodles under
our care.
We actively seek new homes for our rescued poodles.
No Volunteer or the Trustees benefitted personally in any
way including financially or materially from their position

|Contribution made by
volunteers|Para 1.38|Poodle Network UK is a large UK wide network of unpaid
Volunteers who are essential to the Charity and we
appreciate the time, skill set and resources every volunteer
brings to the Charity. The role every volunteer undertakes is
essential to the running of the charity.
Every Trustee takes an active part in the day to day matters
of the charity with most donating over 30 hours a week of
their time.
The Trustees are responsible for the overall management
of the Charity and meet regularly via online meetings. The
Trustees hold regular meetings with senior volunteers who
in turn are responsible for co-ordinating other volunteers.
Our volunteers include administrators, fosterers,
transporters, telephone team, behaviourists, trainers,
fundraisers, groomers, home-checkers, crafters,
photographers and veterinary surgeons & veterinary nurses
who provide us with advice.
Our unpaid Trustees and volunteers look after all our
Poodles and undertake all the associated administration
tasks needed to vet prospective carers and the Poodles
new homes, foster carers and their homes, new volunteers
& any necessary training of them.
Our foster carers, trainers and behaviourists rehabilitate
any poodle which needs it and this can take months for
some of the poodles and some are permanent foster carers
where the dogs they care for will never be able to be
rehomed due to medical and behavioural issues. It takes
devotion and dedication to foster dogs and is exceptionally
rewarding, frustrating and sometimes heart-breaking all at
the same time. Our Trustees all have first-hand experience
of this. There is nothing more rewarding to every volunteer
than knowing they all played a part in rehabilitating a
Poodle rescued from appalling conditions and seeing it
happy in a loving caring new home and watching the
Poodle continue to thrive.
Our fundraising team organise the auctions and other
fundraising activities to ensure we have the funds available
to cover the costs of the Poodles and the day to day
running of the Charity.
Our telephone team and the rehoming and foster team
members are available 365 days a year and we respond
immediately when needed to help and assist the poodles.
We have collected dogs on Christmas Day!
All our volunteers are the heart of Poodle Network UK
making it the successful charity it is.|

## **Achievements and Performance**
||SORP

|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|5Para 1.20|During the year of 2024, Poodle Network UK, rescued,
cared for, protected, medically treated, rehabilitated and
rehomed 179 poodles. The numbers we are being asked to
take continues to increase partially due to the cost of living
and also the cost of vets bills has seen an increase in the
number surrender needing treatment. We are still feeling
the effects of lockdown dogs which were unsuitable for
breeding due to temperament and medical issues are now
having puppies and we are seeing an increasing amount of
behavioural issues including many who have bitten or are
showing aggression, unsocialised dogs and dogs with
medical conditions from parents which ordinarily wouldn’t
have been used for breeding which are being handed into
the charity. This, in turn, has increased the length of time
some are in foster and the medical bills to treat them.
We have continued to pay the regular treatment costs for
hydrotherapy and physiotherapy for Poodles which we have
rescued and regular meditation costs for Poodles with
ongoing needs such as diabetes, heart problems, Addisons
Disease and Cushings Disease. The costs of veterinary
treatments and medications for the dogs has continued to
increase to more than double the prelockdown costs and in
places some veterinary practices will not take on new
patients, reducing the ability to find reasonably priced care.
The tests vets are insisting on doing before treating our
dogs is also increasing; for example in the past a 13/14
year old toy with heart issues would be prescribed
Vetmedin, they are now insisting on heart scans at upto
£1000 each before prescribing medication and then
annually. Routine neutering costs and dental treatment
have continued to increase and we are receiving more
Poodles with skin, ear and allergy issues all requiring
treatment. Corporate Groups of vets trying to upscale our
Poodles care to their Specialist Centres is also an issue for
our ongoing costs for treatments that used to be dealt with
in house.
In 2024 we took a litter of 8 puppies and their mother into
our care. All the puppies were in a terrible state, very
malnourished and requiring substantial veterinary treatment
with some needing prolonged vet stays including one of the
11 week old puppies having to be resuscitated twice on the
first night at the vets. Thankfully all the puppies recovered
but most needed special diets for a prolonged period with 4
hourly feedings due to how small their stomachs were from
the malnutrition. The costs involved in such rescues for
veterinary treatment and care are substantial and we do not
undertake these without ensuring we have funds to cover
their costs and actively fundraise to recover our reserves.
Many of our volunteers and supporters in the Poodle and
Dog World went above and beyond again to donate and
raise the funds for our Poodles. Facebook groups and
individuals held auctions and raised funds and there are too
many to name who donated individually to their care, every
penny was appreciated.
During the year we have worked with councils and other
rescue charities in respect of abandoned Poodles in their
locale assisting in rehoming Poodles handed in and found
abandoned, providing the necessary veterinary treatment
and rehabilitation. We have fundraised for the medical care
of abandoned Poodles, thus saving others the cost to the
benefit of the public good.|
We are referred Poodles from Dog Wardens across the country and are regularly recommended by vets as a place to rescue poodles and rehabilitate and rehome them. Poodle Network UK’s reputation and success with rehoming Poodles and advising the public about Poodles and their needs increases year on year and we aim to continue this by increasing our volunteer numbers and our social media profile over the coming months and years. Our aim is to improve the situation of all unwanted Poodles; increase education to the public about Poodles and owning them and thereby benefit the Public as we do so. Our Trustees and volunteers all give their time freely, and without remuneration, to Poodle Network UK.

|Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|During the period 01/01/2024 to 31/12/2024, the
charity received income totalling £129,973 and
incurred expenditure of £111,370, generating a
surplus for the year of £18,603. The total
Unrestricted Funds at 31/12/2024 was £70,136|
|Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Para 1.22|The Charity seeks to hold a reserve of £30,000 in the
main bank account to cover unforeseen or
exceptional veterinary bills and the long term
medication costs of any poodle needing life long
treatment under our care. Vet bills are still increasing
as has the number of poodles with lifelong
medication needs and we are seeing more with
Addisons Disease and serious ear infections
requiring sedation to clean and treat at the vets
taking many months to resolve. If one of our poodles
or an incoming poodle has leg or spinal issues, this
treatment can cost upwards of £8000 for mri and
corrective surgery; whilst we actively fundraise to
restore our reserves so we can cover these
exceptional costs we need the money available to
pay the vet hospital immediately. We are moving
some dogs to specific fosterers to make use of
Veterinary Teaching Hospitals like Liverpool
University to try to minimise their treatment costs for
serious issues.|

|The charity’s principal
sources of funds (including
any fundraising)|Para 1.47|Poodle Network UK’s income received is from a variety of
sources; donations from new carers for the dogs we
rehome, donations from owners who hand dogs into Poodle
Network UK, and a variety of fundraising activities by our
volunteers.
2024 has seen an increase in fundraising activities by our
volunteers. Our supporters have continued to respond to
appeals to contribute towards specific dogs care where the
costs are above those normally expected.
Notable fundraising activities during the year included our
auctions of donated items and the Poodle Passion
Facebook Group including sales of their calendars,
Christmas cards and other items. We have received
money from funeral collections and legacies and we would
like to thank everyone who has donated in memory of their
loved ones, it is very much appreciated that people have
thought of Poodle Network UK at such sad times. We also
continue to receive support from Poodle Clubs around the
country.
For dogs in need of expensive specialist treatment which is
funded by our reserves our volunteers raised funds through
facebook appeals to actively restore our reserves.
We offer 5 weeks free insurance from Agria with each dog
rehomed and receive commission from Agria on
subsequent policy sales after expiry of the 5 weeks free.
We have seen more people taking up the Agria policies and
our Commission has increased from this. We also received
income through the Paypal Giving Fund from Facebook
fundraising campaigns and other websites like Easy
Fundraising which give small donations as a result of orders
placed with other companies through their sites.
The principal source of funding for the Charity are
Donations received from taking dogs into our care,
rehoming donations from the new homes, general
donations received from the public many of whom are
Poodle and dog owners.|

|A description of the principal

|Other||Our Income for the year 01/01/2024 to 31/12/2024 Totalled
£129973 (2023-£110943)
Expenditure for Poodle Network UK is mainly the veterinary
costs, food costs and transport costs for moving our dogs to
foster homes and new homes which accounts for 98.11%
(2023 96.36%) of the expenditure during the year.
Veterinary costs have increased from 2023 by £25495 and|
from 2021 to 2024 by £65816 which since the COVID lockdown our veterinary bills have almost tripled. The fundraising cost for 2024 is the fee for The Fundraising Regulator. We use The Kennel Club Anilog system for keeping records of our dogs, the Citrix Go To Meeting software for online meetings and Charity Microsoft licences which is 0.36% (2023 1.97%) of expenditure. Our 0300 telephone number and answering system and small contributions towards the rehoming teams mobile bills are 0.55% (2023 0.6%) of expenditure. Insurance for the charity is 0.52% (2023 0.66%) of expenditure. We do not pay bank charges on our main bank account, but we do on Paypal transactions and card readers at 0.15% (2023 0.39%) of expenditure. All our volunteers are unpaid. Total Expenditure from 01/01/2024 to 31/12/2024 was £111370 (2023 was £95180). On 176 rehomed dogs the average cost is £633 per dog, an increase of 20% on 2023. Payments to Trustees & Volunteers All receipts and expenses forms for expenditure by Trustees and Volunteers on items solely for the use of Poodle Network UK for care of the dogs and running of the Charity were received, checked and reimbursed in accordance with the financial controls policies and procedures. The Trustees and Volunteers are all unpaid for their role in Poodle Network UK. Items refunded included, postage and stationary, the cost of software licences, website and domain registrations which have to be paid by card and veterinary bills for foster dogs when vets required immediate payment by card. Any item requiring payment by card was authorised by the Trustees and personal cards were used because no Trustee or Volunteer has cards linked to the charities accounts. Stitch & Burn who embroider items for the Charity like clothing, bags and dog items is a company connected to Hannah Aldcroft. Cost prices for the items are checked to ensure they cannot be purchased at a lower cost elsewhere.
