TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 DECEMBER 2024

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 29 December 2024.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's memorandum and articles of assocoiation, the Companies Act 2006 and "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)".

Objectives and activities

Our Mission is to end the suffering of captive wild animals around the world, by uniting the world’s leading animal welfare organisations and captive wildlife facilities in providing expert, practical and sustainable solutions to improve animal welfare. This mission is supported through the actions of our strategic objectives:

Public benefit

All charities in England and Wales must have charitable aims that are based on providing public benefit and comply with section 4 of the Charities Act 2011. The trustees have regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. Wild Welfare's founder identified that the charities aim was to unite the leading zoos and animal welfare NGOs to improve wild captive animal welfare and end the suffering of captive wild animals around the world, ensuring full and sustainable protection is given to all animals in human care.

The organisation's activities benefit the public in the following manner:

Strategic Charitable Objectives and Activities Charitable activities

Wild Welfare is a voice of authority in captive wild animal welfare. We were established to address the issue of poor captive wild animal welfare, in facilities such as zoos, aquariums, sanctuaries, and recue centres, in a practical and strategic manner, recognising that a comprehensive plan is required to secure long-term solutions.

Wild Welfare has three overarching goals that feed into our mission:

(1) Developing Networks for Animals

(2) Improve Public Understanding

(3) Advancing Legislation

(4) Empowering Resources

(5) Training For Change

(6) Free Living Animal Welfare

Wild Welfare carries out fundamental activities and services to achieve our goals, and consequently our institutional mission. These activities and services are at the core of all Wild Welfare outputs. They are separated into five areas: Direct Institutional Support; Community Action; Policy & Resource Development; Partnership Networks; and Public Awareness.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 DECEMBER 2024

Financial review

Where possible, we are prioritising unrestricted income to support charitable growth. However, as foundations and trusts often favour supporting projects through a restricted approach, we have also created a portfolio of budgeted 1–3-year programmes that Wild Welfare will be carrying out.

During the last financial year, we continued to support our legacy package and a membership scheme, as well as continued to promote events which our supporters undertake, and ran targeted appeals. By promoting our projects and creating relevant content on various online platforms we have seen an increase in public donations. We sign up with the Fundraising Regulator and are guided by our ethical fundraising policy.

We continue to use and have diversified our online options to capture information for repeat donations and utilising our social media comms to encourage interest in our supporters to become regular donors to Wild Welfare.

In 2022 a new organisation, Wild Welfare US, was regcognised as a non-profit organisation in the US. This is a separately governed NGO but has adopted Wild Welfare’s mission, vision, philosophies, and charitable goals. The formation of Wild Welfare (US) is to allow both organisations to fundraise more effectively and develop projects and programmes linked to relevant regions and countries. We will work in collaboration with the same strategic goals.

Total incoming resources for the period was £292,968 (2023 - £134,530)

Total expenditure was £221,145 (2023 - £188,903) with total reserves standing at £359,035 (2023 - £287,212) as at 29 December 2024 of which £325,611 (2023 - £256,320) is unrestricted.

It is the policy of Wild Welfare to maintain a level of unrestricted funds, which are free reserves of the charity, at a level sufficient to fund the charity in the event of a sharp fall in incoming resources. The trustees believe this fund should allow for a minimum of six months of operating costs. The trustees are aware that the reserves are over the level set out in the charities policy,

this has been due to philanthropic donations which have been placed in a savings account to support growth of the charity as well as used as reserves.

The trustees believe this fund should allow for six months of operating costs. The trustees are aware that the reserves are over the level set out in the charities policy, this has been due to the lack of travel and reduced expenditure experienced through the pandemic and the restrictions in international travel. However the funds will be used in the coming year as the world opens up and as travel and project activities increase.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF WILD WELFARE

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Wild Welfare (the charity) for the year ended 29 December 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000, the independent examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

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 financial statements to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 DECEMBER 2024

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Wild Welfare is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Ground Floor, 1 - 7 Station Road, Crawley, West Sussex, RH10 1HT.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Income

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to, and virtually certain to receive the income, and the amount can be measured with reasonable accuracy.

Voluntary income is received by way of donations and gifts and is included in full when receivable.

Grants receivable are credited to the statement of financial activities at the earlier of when they are received, or at the point the charity becomes entitled to them.

1.5 Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries, as well as costs relating to the trustees' visits to monitor and evaluate the projects. The trustees have identified one charitable activity.

WILD WELFARE

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 DECEMBER 2024

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel and governance costs which support the charity's activities. These have been allocated in proportion to the direct costs.

1.6 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1.7 Financial instruments

The charitable company only has financial assets and 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.

Creditors

Creditors are recognised where the charitable company 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 are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discounts due.

1.8 Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

1.9 Employee benefits

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense. The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received.

1.10 Retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

There were no key judgments of estimates during the financial year.
