Hope 4 Pets North Cyprus Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 April 2025 ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities Through our Facebook page, website and hands on, we have helped the public of the TRNC to neuter their own animals via a voucher scheme which has been set up with vets in the TRNC, on production of a voucher to the Vet, which they get from H4P, the public pay half the cost of neutering their cat/dog. The voucher scheme is working very well. We have advised owners on feeding, neutering and exercise of their pets and introduced them to the voucher scheme. We have re-homed hundreds of stray cats and dogs in the TRNC. We neuter all the animals we re-home and pay for this in full, not through the voucher scheme. TRNC has a large elderly UK/European community. We have helped pet owners of any nationality relocating to the UK/Europe with advise, paperwork and raising funds to get their pets to the UK and Europe. We have advised the public, provided funding and taken stray animals requiring vet treatment to be seen by the vet. These include emergency treatment for road traffic accidents, treatment for dogs with behavioural problems, eye problems and non-emergency treatment such as flea/tick treatment. We have reduced the number of dogs and cats roaming the streets, via neutering and re-homing, this in turn has reduced the number of casualties of road traffic accidents and the number of dogs being reported as attacking sheep and chickens owned by the public. We have provided food to members of the public who feed large numbers of stray cats/dogs, and again paid for neutering of the animals when required. We have provided wooden kennels for stray animals where they have no shelter and where there is a need. Fundraising activities H4P raised £55,127 in funds from a variety of different platfornis, GoFundMe, PayPal, Easyfundraising, and by selling items such as promotional Calendars, Cards, and also donated items of bric a brac. We also hold social events in the TRNC for the benefit of H4P, such as dog shows and quiz nights. H4P are slowly improving the lives of the street animals of the TRNC, with vet care, shelters and food. We are also removing the street animals via re-homing and reducing the amount of puppies born on the streets by neutering. The number of sick and injured dogs/cats being reported to us by the public is also slowly reducing. FINANCIAL REVIEW Principal funding sources Sources of funding are the public, through GoFundMe, PayPal, Easyfundraising, and selling of promotional goods and donated goods. Occasional social events are organised to promote H4P where we run various fundraising activities such as raffles, quiz and auctions. All the funds used to enable our objectives to be achieved was donated by the public. We have no other means of funding. Page 2
Hope 4 Pets North Cyprus Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 April 2025 FINANCIAL REVIEW Reserves policy Whilst Hope 4 Pets does not have a strict reserves policy, it does have reserves of £50,324 as at the year end 30th April 2025. This level of reserves equates to approximately 70 % of the funds raised during the financial period. Whilst this shows a healthy level of reserves, the charity's trustees believe that these reserves will be needed for the future expenditure and objectives of the business as mentioned in the Objectives & Activities section of the Trustees Report. These funds may also be needed for unexpected or unforeseen emergencies in which the charity will need cash readily available. The charity's income relies solely on donations and the sale of donated goods. The charity therefore believes that this level of funds may help towards an unexpected drop in donations which could impact the charity's activities. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) governed by the Charitable Incorporated Organisations (General) Regulations 2012 ('General Regulations,) from the date it was registered (21 st October 2016). Hope 4 Pets operates in the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus. Recruitment and appointment of new trustees New trustees are appointed by the current trustees.
