## **Report of the Trustees**
## **For the year to 31st December 2024**
The Trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity. The financial statements have been prepared based on accounting policies and comply with the charity’s foundation model constitution document. Scampdoodles Charity is a charity registered with the Charity Commission 1170674.
## **Mission Statement**
Scampdoodles helps people of all ages who have special educational needs or disabilities, are terminally ill or undergoing medical treatment, are recently bereaved, or who feel vulnerable, socially isolated and alone by providing a broad range of services. We help people of all faiths, and no faith, and any nationality or race, but especially like to help those people who feel most isolated from the community. We do this through Scampdoodles (helping people in crisis find help for their pet), Dolphin Dogs (hydrotherapy support dogs), and Rosebank Garden (helping people grow).
We also help relieve the suffering of animals in need of care and attention. We do this by providing and maintaining rescue homes or other facilities for the reception, care and treatment of such animals, and educate the public in matters pertaining to animal welfare in general and the prevention of cruelty and suffering among animals.
## **Our aims**
Our aims are to:-
- Help improve people’s physical and mental health.
- Help improve people’s quality of life.
- Help people feel less vulnerable, or socially isolated and alone.
- Help reduce feelings of anxiety, stress and depression.
- Help people learn new skills leading to employment, reducing unemployment and financial hardship.
- Help give people a sense of empowerment through improved choices.
- Provide volunteering opportunities to people.
- Help relieve the suffering of animals in need of care and attention.

## **Trustees and Organisational Structure**
The maximum number of charity trustees is 12. The charity trustees may not appoint any charity trustee if as a result the number of charity trustees would exceed the maximum. There must be at least three charity trustees. If the number falls below this minimum, the remaining trustee or trustees may act only to call a meeting of the charity trustees, or appoint a new charity trustee. Apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees. In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO.
## **Charity trustees**
The current charity trustees are as follows and are appointed for 3 years: Laura Jane Hill Paul Garrod Josie Pyatt
When new trustees are appointed they will be given a formal induction to the work of the trust and provided with the information they need to fulfil their roles, which includes information about the role of trustees and charity law. New trustees are nominated by members of the board of trustees, interviewed by a panel of three trustees and appointed where they have the necessary skills to contribute to the charity’s management and development.
## **Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards. The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustee(s) to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP; make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and enable them to ascertain to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In the interest of transparency and accountability to our donors we publish our annual report, accounts and scrutiny report on the website. The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
