**Three Counties Dog Rescue Report of the trustees** 

**for the year ended 31 March 2025** 

The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements for the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

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) issued in 2019 in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales on 7 December 2016 under its Constitution of a CIO Foundation. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of trustees** 

Apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charities' trustees. 

In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience for the effective administration of the CIO. 

Information on the trustees and charity can be found on page 1; 'Charity Information'. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The charitable objectives of the charity are to accept, care for and find homes for unwanted, lost and stray dogs and cats and to relieve the suffering of such animals in need of care and attention. The activities include the provision and maintenance of rescue homes and facilities for the reception, care and treatment of such animals. 

The Trustees have considered the Charities Commission's requirement in respect of Public Benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning future activities. 

The Charity undertakes a range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. The Trustees consider that these activities provide benefit as are detailed in both the Achievements and performance section plus the Chair's report on page 2. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Significant activities** 

In summary of the year's achievements, we 

- Continued to improve the kennels and surrounds, 

- Improved the lives of 101 (2024 - 118) dogs and cats, 

- All dogs and cats in our care were neutered, 

- Successfully promoted our boarding and cremation services. 

## **Achievements against objectives** 

## **Rehoming** 

We improved the lives of 101 (2024: 118) dogs and cats in the year. 

Our team of volunteer supporters, regularly come to the kennels to exercise, socialise and encourage the dogs in our care. Some dogs arrive at the kennels in a traumatised condition and our team spends one to one time with them until they are restored to a happy and relaxed state and ready for re-homing. This requires infinite patience but successful outcomes are very rewarding. 

Numbers in the kennels and cattery grew through the year and we ended the period with a record 68 (2024: 55) dogs and 20 (2024: 19) cats there. 

We also had 22 (2024: 34) dogs and cats in long term foster care.

**Three Counties Dog Rescue** 

**Report of the trustees (continued)** 

**for the year ended 31 March 2025** 

## **Achievements against objectives (continued)** 

## **Rehoming (continued)** 

The considerable expenditure needed to bring dogs and cats that come to us, back to full health have meant vet costs continue to be the main contributor to our costs. Costs are also  driven by the growing number of elderly dogs in long term foster homes and those in the kennels. 

Three Counties continues its policy of not destroying a dog or cat unless its quality of life makes it fairer to do so, or it is a danger to staff and volunteers, but this leads to a growing number of older dogs with us in the kennels and in foster care. 

Three Counties continues its policy of not destroying a dog or cat unless its quality of life makes it fairer to do so, or it is a danger to staff and volunteers, but this leads to a growing number of older dogs with us in the kennels and in foster care. 

We continue to see a marked increase in dogs bought through the internet and relinquished to us when a mistake has been realised. Together with relationship break ups, moving to rented accommodation where the landlord does not allow pets and problems with mixing young children and dogs, these form the most common reasons for parting with a dog. 

## **Financial review** 

## **Veterinary activity** 

87 (2024 - 87) animals were neutered in the period. All animals are given their usual vaccinations 

We have all the animals coming into our care checked by our Vet and often they have ailments that need attention. Veterinary costs have increased again with a large number of animals receiving treatment every month. The cost of this care is a major part of our total expenditure. 

## **Annual expenditure** 

Revenue expenditure (net of VAT recovery) relating to the period April 2024 to March 2025 and including shop costs was £416,306 (2024: £366,835). 

The main items of expenditure are: 

**●** Kennel Costs (Wages, Pet food, £161,653 (2024: £160,753) Equipment and Repairs) **●** Veterinary fees £193,444 (2024: £150,530) **●** Advertising fees £7,155 (2024: £5,075) **●** Charity shop costs £54,054 (2024: £50,664) 

As in previous years, all expenditure on administration, travel, telephone calls etc. was borne by the trustees and the helpers. For the management team alone hours devoted to dog and cat rescue continue to amount to at least £125,000 per annum. We estimate the absorbed travel costs for all volunteers at £7,000 per annum and an estimated 600 outbound telephone calls are made each month. 

All our volunteers are unpaid and cover their own travel costs, in some cases quite substantial. We have teams of volunteers who: 

- help at the kennels, with rehoming, transport, home checks and vet trips, manage the website, our Facebook page, twitter and Instagram accounts; 

- hold ad hoc sales to raise funds; 

- work in the charity shop. 

- foster dogs and cats for us. 

It goes without saying that the Rescue could not function without the support of these dedicated people.

**Three Counties Dog Rescue** 

**Report of the trustees (continued)** 

**for the year ended 31 March 2025** 

## **Annual income** 

## _**The charity shop**_ 

Sales have been down at the shop again but an annual profit of £1,477 was made (2024: £7,902)  to contribute to our Rescue funds. 

## _**Sales/collections and events**_ 

Pounds for Hounds has been a major contributor to our funds with their sales. Over £5,000 was raised by them. 

Payments for dog and cat adoptions totalled £21,840 (2024: £18,744). 

_**Donations,**_ including those made through the “Sponsor a Dog” scheme totalled £173,554 (2024: £264,824): 

The 'Sponsor a Dog' scheme had 26 (2024: 28) regular donors to the scheme during the year. Together with these regular donors, we now have a total of 83 (2024: 85) supporters making monthly donations giving us a welcome regular income. 

## _**Petplan Commission**_ 

Commission from acting as an “introducer” for Petplan insurance amounted to £4,126 (2024: £3,451). 

## _**Legacies**_ 

We benefitted from 3 (2024: 8) legacies totalling £134,091 (2024: £14,998). 

We continue to promote our leaflet, aimed at prompting people to think about what will happen to their pets if they pass away before them. It includes a section inviting supporters to consider leaving Three Counties something in their will after their families have been catered for. A free will writing option remains on our website. 

## _**2025 Calendar**_ 

The popular calendar competition was well supported with many photos entered for inclusion in the Three Counties calendar. 

## **Charitable and other Grants** 

We received £950 (2024: £5,700) from charitable and other grants, excluding Employers Allowance in our subsidiary company. 

## _**Communications**_ 

Our website continues to receive many positive comments and receives over 9,000 visits a month. 

Facebook membership now exceeds 12,700 and provides a rich source of entertainment from photos of the escapades of dogs rehomed and of those going off with their new owners. 

Our mailing list tops 1,500 supporters who receive occasional newsletters. (Any supporters who do not think they are on the mailing list should email us at info@threecountiesdogrescue.org to request inclusion). All on the mailing list have positively chosen to be included. 

## **Business procedures and practices** 

We maintain: 

- A disaster recovery plan; 

- A training programme and record for helpers at the kennels; 

- A complaints procedure; 

- A vulnerable persons procedure. 

and retain memberships of the Association of Dog and Cats homes and the Federation of Small Businesses.

**Three Counties Dog Rescue Report of the trustees (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2025** 

## **Partnerships** 

We continue to enjoy the benefits of our partnership with Burghley Veterinary Centre through discounted fees. 

It is reassuring to use a practice which has avoided the current drift to corporate ownership.  Along with most other practices, due to problems recruiting vets prepared to work nights,  Burghley have signed up to an external “out of hours” provider. However, if a pet is under treatment, they are still kept overnight under proper supervision at Burghley. 

## **The way forward** 

Boarding requests contributed £15,892 (2024: £15,892) before VAT. 

Our caring Cremations contributed £3,140 (2024: £6,000) before VAT. 

These enterprises are contributing significantly to our income and helping our aim to secure the sustainable future of the Rescue. 

We continue to take on volunteers to help at the kennels. We are always on the look out for new volunteers to help at the kennels, with fundraising and managing the shop but adding volunteers with legal and financial skills would be an enormous benefit. Let us know if you think you might be able to help on any of these fronts. 

We have managed our way through another extremely demanding year due largely to the support of our committed group of staff and volunteers.  They remain our greatest strength and our gratitude and that of all the animals, whose welfare we continue to look after, goes to them. 

The year ahead  continues to present challenges with energy and food cost increases. Our aim to become fully sustainable remains key. 

## **Reserves** 

The Trustees have considered the requirement for free reserves which are those unrestricted funds not invested in tangible fixed assets, fixed assets investments, or designated for specific purposes or otherwise committed. The Trustees have decided that the group should seek to maintain free reserves equivalent to 3 months’ revenue expenditure. 

The Trustees, when considering the future of the charity consider the need to be fully sustainable and therefore when excess funds become available they will be used for plant and equipment to enable this to happen, e.g. solar panels. 

The free reserves are currently in deficit by £50,100 (2024: £39,200), largely as a result of the signficant increase in costs. 

The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future; the Trustees are not aware of any material uncertainties about the entity's ability to continue. The Trustees have therefore, used the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements. 

## **Independent examiner** 

A resolution proposing the re-appointment of Ken Maggs as independent examiner will be put to the members at the Annual General Meeting. 

Approved by the Board of Trustees on **25 June 2025** and signed on its behalf by:

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Three Counties Dog Rescue for the year ended 31 March 2025** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are set out on pages 7 to 13. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees you are responsbile for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 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** 

Since the company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales (ICAEW). 

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: 

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 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; 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.

**Three Counties Dog Rescue Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2025** 

## **1. Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of accounting** 

Three Counties Dog Rescue meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value.  The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £. 

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.  These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. 

## **Income recognition** 

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received. 

Grants and donations are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the general income criteria are met in accordance with paragraphs 5.10 to 5.12 of FRS 102 SORP. 

Legacies are included within the Statement of Financial Activities when receipt is probable, that is when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient asset in the estate and that no conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.

Liabilities are recognised as resources expended when there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to the expenditure: 

Charitable activities include the costs of the activities defined by the charity's aims for the benefit of the persons sited in the charity objects.

Where such assets relate to more than one functional cost category, they have been allocated on either an estimate time or floor space basis, as appropriate.

## **Fixed assets and Investments** 

Fixed assets are included at cost, less accumulated depreciation. 

## **Depreciation** 

Depreciation is calculated to write down the cost, less estimated residual value, of all tangible fixed assets over their expected useful lives.  The Machinery 5 year straight line 

## **Investments**

## **Restricted funds** 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes.

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in sustenance of the objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

## **Leases** 

Rentals payable and receivable under operating leases are charged to the SoFA on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
