**MABLETHORPE WILDLIFE RESCUE** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2024 set out on pages five to fifteen. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

Mablethorpe Wildlife Rescue is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) registered on 1 June 2017. The organisation is governed by a constitution. 

We are Mablethorpe's leading charity wildlife rescue rehabilitation centre for the rescue and release of wildlife. 

The charity's objectives as stated in its governing documents are as follows: 

For the benefit of the public, to relieve the suffering of seals and seal pups in need of care and attention. In particular, to provide care and treatment to all local wildlife until such time as they can be safely released into the wild. To raise awareness and educate the public as to the seals' natural environment and welfare needs. 

In shaping our objectives for the period and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance Public benefit: running a charity (PB2). 

## **STRATEGIC REPORT** 

## **Achievement and performance** 

After the successful set up of the charity and the shop we have gained a huge support from the public and continue to aid in the care of wildlife. 

From February 2024 the charity has leased the zoo and car park from Mablethorpe Seal Sanctuary Limited and has obtained additional funding through the zoo entry fees, car park takings and gift aid receipts. 

Over the year, the money raised through the zoo entry fees, car park takings, gift aid receipts, charity shop and donations have paid for various things listed below: 

Vets bills Food Bills Rent of the charity Shop (high street) and the zoo Utilities for shop (high street) and Zoo Wages 

## **Financial review** 

## **Financial position** 

Shop takings for the year increased slightly from £101,786 in 2023 to £105,992 this current year. 

Gate takings for the zoo for the period from 1 February 2024 were £334,545, and car park takings for this period were £13,666. 

We continued to have support from the public during this year and our donations received were £124,154 (2023 £12,634). . 

In addition we have also received £42,852 of gift aid receipts. 

Resources expended in the year were £437,727 compared to £120,060 expended in the prior year. 

Overall we have net income over expenses for the year of £176,412 (2023 net expenses over income for of £5,483). 

## **Reserves policy** 

The trustees aim to maintain the reserves at a minimum of three months worth of future charitable expenditure. As at 31 August 2024, the balance held as unrestricted funds was £301,772.. Actual three month cash payments total approximately £176,412, which show the current level of reserves is enough to cover three months worth of charitable expenditure. 

The zoo gate takings and charity shop, along with donations made by the public, are the main contribution to the survival and ongoing care we provide for the wildlife that comes into the centre.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF MABLETHORPE WILDLIFE RESCUE** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Mablethorpe Wildlife Rescue ('the Charity')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 August 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

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

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Charity are not required to be audited and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Accounting Technicians, 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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Charities Act 2011 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 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) 

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.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the Charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

In preparing the financial statements the Charity follows best practice as laid down in the statement of Recommended Practice “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (SORP 2019) and the Charities Act. The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

Donations, legacies and other forms of voluntary income are recognised as incoming resources when receivable, except in so far as they are incapable of financial measurement. 

Assets given for use by the charity are recognised as incoming resources for the year with the equivalent expenditure included in charitable expenditure. Where the donor intends the assets to be used on a continuing basis the expenditure has been treated as a fixed asset. 

Gifts in kind are included at their estimated value. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers. 

Grants are included in income when they are receivable. Grants are considered to be receivable when there is evidence of entitlement, for example when the grant is formally expressed in writing and there are no conditions attached. 

## **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. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Plant and machinery -    25% on reducing balance and 15% on reducing balance Motor vehicles -  25% on reducing balance 

## **Taxation** 

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

## **Fund accounting** 

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

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity.  Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

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

## **Hire purchase and leasing commitments** 

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
