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.	Para 1.20	We have been successful in rehoming 40 dogs, with 9 being placed in permanent foster homes. Some of our permanent fosters (primrose pups) were given a short life span but are happily living our their golden years in loving and secure homes. As these dogs would be very hard to find adoptive homes, the rescue will cover all medical needs whilst in forever foster. We have been active in promoting the use of Gift Aid and have successfully received Gift Aid from HMRC for the next financial year review.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2025

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of UK Boston Terrier Rescue

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of UK Boston Terrier Rescue (the Charity) for the year ended 31[st] October 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Charity 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 Charity’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 giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

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

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

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.
