THE JOHN BURNS FOUNDATION
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2022. 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).
Burns Pet Nutrition Foundation (BPN Foundation) was fully incorporated as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) in February 2016, and changed its name to The John Burns Foundation in February 2020. To keep the charity activities distinctive from Burns Pet Nutrition Ltd the CIO is operated under the banner of Burns in the Community.
The John Burns Foundation exists as a CIO to make a difference to the lives of people and companion animals across the UK and delivers resources, skills and practical life improvement projects as well as financial donations, particularly where the countryside, horticulture, education and where positive animal assisted therapies are involved.
We are developing exciting innovative projects and meaningful partnerships with social change and welfare organisations to meet our charitable objects by offering practical, recreational and educational services to help people to gain confidence and learn life and work skills, whilst tackling social isolation.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Our charitable purposes and objects are to:
The Charitable Objects for The John Burns Foundation are:
-
For the public benefit to promote the education of people in such ways as the charity trustees think fit, including by training or retraining particularly amongst unemployed people in farming, horticulture and woodland related countryside skills.
-
To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming socially excluded relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society. (for the purpose of this clause 'socially excluded' means being excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of one or more of the following factors: unemployment; youth or old age; ill health (physical or mental); disability; poor educational or skills attainment.).
-
For the benefit of the public to relieve the suffering of animals in need of care and attention in particular by providing financial or other support for animal welfare organisations to enable them to further charitable purposes.
-
Such general charitable purposes as the trustees may time to time determine.
Significant activities
The three main umbrella programmes that meet the objects of the BPN Foundation are:
-
Burns by Your Side , our volunteer led outreach reading dog and learning support service.
-
- The Burns Better Tomorrow Programme.

Burns in the Community. We provide regular activities and events to improve the lives of people who live in our
-

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Achievements and Performance
Burns By Your Side Scheme
Our flagship outreach project has grown from strength to strength with our volunteer base expanding in numbers from 15 in 2017 to 56 active volunteer/canine teams working in schools and education settings across five counties. In the last 12 months over 12,000 reading sessions were delivered.
We have participated in a consortium of service providers across the UK to develop robust training and minimum standards which were loosely based around our practices. This now means we are leading the way in terms of training which meets the new standardised guidelines. We hold accreditation by Animal Assisted Interventions International to provide training equivalent to the Kennel Club Good Citizen. We have established a training centre and are offering a range of dog training courses for our BBYS volunteer teams in four locations, which generates income for the John Burns Foundation.
We continue to engage in academic studies with Swansea University into the effectiveness of BBYS for its beneficiaries, this has been published and distributed via educational networks across the UK. The academics involved further published a book called 'Tails from the Classroom'.
Burns Better Tomorrow Programme
Our Better Tomorrow programme is thriving with additional group activity being undertaken in our gardens as well as at our Flagship Canolfan John Burns Centre building. Particular achievements have been the engagement with the occupational therapy teams for the NHS, a project with Mencap to encourage volunteering amongst their service users, and our new programme 'Food For Thought'. We were successful in securing funding from The National Lottery People & Place Fund to install a fully accessible Food Education Classroom. We also secured funding to run the 'Food for Thought' project to teach people how to prepare healthy meals for themselves and their families and learn about why cooking from scratch using healthy seasonal produce provides huge health and financial advantages. This project will continue until March 2024.
We commenced a project called Woodland Heroes in 2021, which ran throughout this financial year. The project was funded through the Rural Development Plan for Wales. In Carmarthenshire this programme called Leader was managed by the Cefn Gwlad Local Action Group (LAG). The Woodland Heroes project teaches school children and adults with learning disabilities about the many benefits of planting trees. Pupils and adults plant their own patch of native trees on agricultural land at Canolfan John Burns Centre, with the goal of offsetting carbon emissions in the local community, and at their school or residential setting. The beneficiaries learn about carbon dioxide and sustainability and acquire the skills to plant and care for trees. They become ambassadors for change and take the lead on reducing the carbon footprint of their schools and communities. The aim is that young people understand and tackle the consequences of global warming, we want to encourage them to change their behaviour to respond to what is already a global emergency. This programme is not only about planting trees, but also to plant seeds in the children's mind about being responsible for our planet.
Burns in the Community
Burns in the Community is our way of enriching the lives of people who live in our community. The project provides support for individuals who have the potential to become socially excluded. We work with local community groups and a whole host of social organisations. Our fantastic new headquarters set in 20 acres of land has been designed specifically to give us the space to develop and expand our charitable objectives, thereby maximising our work within our community.
We continue to deliver and work with partner organisations to bring services into the community such as parent and baby groups, socialisation groups for the elderly and prevention sessions run by the emergency services.
Community Bus and Electric Car Service
To meet our charitable objects around social isolation and tackle this challenge head on we provide a local community transport service to enable individuals to attend the regular programme of activities provided for targeted groups in the area. We can provide transport to these activities by utilising our fully adapted minibus. We have a 18 seater fully adapted bus with tail lift as well as an electric MPV in association with Dolen Teifi.
Burns in the Community - Ireland
Since inception in May 2018, the Ireland charity has grown significantly. The BBYS volunteer programme is active with 24 volunteers attending schools, and training for further volunteers underway. Reading sessions have also commenced in libraries.
The Charity of the Year award supported West Cork Animal Welfare during the period and we have agreed an ongoing partnership with previous award recipients Galway SPCA.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
In the longer term, the trustees will aim to maintain free reserves at a level which equates to approximately twelve months of charitable expenditure. It is considered that this level will provide sufficient funds to respond to the commitments made to our beneficiary groups and ensure that support and governance costs are covered.
Free reserves as at the balance sheet date amounted to £ 648,814 which comprise the charitable assets that may freely and quickly converted into cash. This does not include the woodland which is viewed by the trustees as a long-term investment for the future development of charitable activities.
The trustees acknowledge that the current reserves far exceed the policy requirement. This situation arose as a result of the substantial initial donation made to the charity by Burns Pet Nutrition Limited being its main benefactor. This source of charitable funding cannot be relied upon as a continuing source of funding for the future. The trustees are therefore mindful of the need to diversify its sources of funding through alternative grant funding, donations and trading activity and therefore feel that the current level of free reserves is appropriate, at present, to enable its activities to continue until alternative funding is secured.
This policy will be regularly reviewed.
FUTURE PLANS
Key Aims of our work in 2022/2023:
-
To grow our commercial activity by renting out space in our building on a sessional basis and to open a Glamping site.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document and a deed of trust. The Foundation was registered in February 2016 and was amended as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation in February 2020.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
In line with best practice and the Charity Governance Code, the board continuously seeks to enhance the diversity of its skillset. Trustees are subject to a rigorous interview, probationary period, checks and induction to support them in becoming effective members of the board, working in the best interests of the Charity. Trustees play an engaged role, volunteering their time and support freely, contributing the benefit of their professional expertise and experience and collaborating to protect and develop the Charity in a heavily regulated environment. Trustees are eligible for election to a maximum of six years tenure.
Risk management
A risk register has been developed to ensure that risk management is a core part of our operating procedures. It is regularly reviewed by the management of the foundation. Risk management is inherent in all the Charity's activities and key risks broadly cover volunteer management, safeguarding of vulnerable groups, data protection, finance governance and compliance, health and safety and information technology.
One of the key risks identified in the period was the protection of personally identifiable data, recognising the risk of non-compliance with GDPR. This was managed by implementing targeted policies and procedures and staff training. Trustees are satisfied that risks identified are rigorously controlled and regularly monitored through internal and external sources and that they are properly mitigated and managed to ensure the Charity remains compliant and meets the highest standards of care for client groups and the general public.
The trustees will review this document regularly.

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').

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Donated services
Donated services from other entities are recognised within the financial statements as income with the corresponding expenditure being put against the expense to which is relates.
Grant income
Income from government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, are recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

17. MOVEMENT IN FUNDS - continued
This funding came from the Rural Development Plan for Wales for the facilitation of the Woodland Heroes project. Children and young people learnt about the effects of carbon on our environment and how planting trees reduces our carbon footprint. The pupils became ambassadors for change who took the message back to their schools, presenting what they had learnt to other pupils. They also planted trees both at CJBC and in their school.
