Objectives and Activities

SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document		 Para 1.17 The Hugs Foundation is a horse rescue
centre that also provides well-being support
to children, young people, the elderly,
serving military personnel and veterans.
We rescue, rehabilitate and rehome
mistreated, sick, unwanted and abandoned
horses and ponies. Situated in a unique,
nurturing, safe environment, we provide for
a range of human well-being needs too,
including; social, emotional, physical and
mental health support, learning and
developmental needs, special educational
needs and disabilities (SEND), social
isolation, reengaging with education, school
transitions, transitions from military to
civilian life, self-harm and those at risk of
suicide.
Our rescues each have their own
rehabilitation plan and many work
alongside our service users, where they
can both benefit and grow from spending
time with each other, making a positive
difference to both lives.
Our multiple aims and objectives include:
•
the rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing
of unwanted, sick, mistreated and
abandoned horses and ponies.
•
to promote humane behaviours towards
animals and educate the public in
positive animal welfare.
•
to work alongside other rescues and
organisations to make as big a
difference as possible to animal welfare.
•
to improve children and young people’s
social, emotional, physical and mental
health and well-being through on-site
interventions.
•
to decrease loneliness and increase
social inclusion and hope amongst the
elderly through visits to care homes.
•
to improve the social, emotional,
physical and mental health and well-
being of serving military personnel and
veterans.
Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.		 Para 1.17 and
1.19		 Our main charitable activities are; to
provide a safe, nurturing and enriching
environment for our animal rescues,
enabling us to rehabilitate and rehome as
many as possible and to provide well-being
support to those in need. We do this by:
•
working alongside other rescues and
organisations, such as the National
Equine Welfare Council (NEWC), World
Horse Welfare, the Mare & Foal
Sanctuary, the RSPCA, the police and
local councils, to rescue animals in
need.
•
rehabilitating rescue horses/ponies
through individual programmes using
ethical and empathic training techniques
to create positive experiences for our
rescues, enabling them to trust humans
and build their confidence.
•
finding the right match for our rescues
and their forever home.
•
attending events and open days to raise
awareness of the charity, educate the
public in animal welfare and human
well-being and promote positive animal
welfare.
•
providing well-being support through on-
site interventions to children, young
people, serving military personnel and
veterans. These interventions are set up
as a course of six sessions, with the
option to extend if needed, and have
been shaped by people with lived
experiences and experts in well-being,
learning and development. We provide
a unique mix of nature based
interventions together with mentoring
and workshops that can include; animal
assisted interventions, nature activities,
therapeutic learning, ecotherapy,
teambuilding, arts and crafts, forest
based activities and practical skills,
such as horticulture.
•
providing well-being visits for the
elderly, with our rescue animals, for
those that are unable to leave their
accommodation (e.g. care homes).
These visits bring the residents
something different to their usual routine
and something to look forward to.
Residents leave their rooms and
congregate in the social areas,
decreasing loneliness and increasing
social inclusion, happiness and hope.
For those that cannot leave their rooms,
our animals (usually Dude our super
star rescue), go to them. The smiles this
brings to people shows just how positive
the impact is on their well-being and
Dude is always keen to see the
residents. We constantly monitor our
animal’s welfare to ensure they are
always happy and healthy.
There have been 7 ponies returned to the
facility during this period, due to changes in
owner circumstances or the standard of
care not being delivered to the satisfaction
of The Hugs Foundation upon inspection.
We continue to provide care for those
returned to the Foundation and look to
rehome them again.
The charity is fully insured. All staff and
volunteers are DBS checked, a full
safeguarding policy and procedures are in
place and updated regularly, as are our
other policies, such as equal opportunities.
Volunteers provide vital resource to the
charity through activities such as mucking
out, grooming and other essential yard
tasks, providing benefit to both visitor and
charity, although this has greatly reduced
due to the coronavirus pandemic and
lockdown restrictions.
A monthly newsletter continues to be
produced and sent to our supporters (who
have signed up in accordance with GDPR)
to keep them up to date with the activities
of the charity, promote our events and to
encourage donor engagement.
Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit		 Para 1.18 The trustees are aware of the guidance
issued by the Charities Commission on
public benefit with regard to the need for

for the benefit of the public. Every trustee

has complied with their duty to have due regard on public benefit.

the charity. Volunteers perform
important tasks such as mucking out,
grooming and essential groundwork that
keeps the land a safe environment for the
animals to enjoy. All our volunteers are

we have had reduced volunteers this
charity year, due to the pandemic and

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 This year has been incredibly challenging,
due to the coronavirus pandemic. However
the charity has been innovative and flexible
and despite the difficulties, manged to
achieve great things including:
•
Rescued 25 equines in this year from
situations of sickness, mistreatment
and/or abandonment (a total of 121
horses and ponies and over 160
animals in total since opening in 2017).
•
Rehomed 36 of those rehabilitated
horses/ponies (a total of 75 since
opening in 2017).
•
Provided 228 hours of mental well-being
support to 38 individual children and
young people (a total of 5228 hours and
488 individuals supported since opening
in 2017).

• Eight individuals completed the 7 item Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS) with 88% recording a meaningful positive change on their well-being. We have also gathered more case studies evidencing the positive impact our support has on individuals. • Launched a veterans well-being programme after successfully gaining funding from The National Lottery, Awards for All. This started in May 2021. • Provided volunteering opportunities to 2 people. This was a hugely reduced capacity due to decreased staffing and the pandemic. • Provided work experience opportunities for 2 people. Again, this was a hugely reduced capacity due to decreased staffing and the pandemic. • The charity was unable to undergo any care home visits due to the pandemic but have kept in contact with service users virtually and are hoping to offer this service again in Autumn 2021. However, over the Christmas period, the charity ran a community day where care homes were visited from the outside and the ponies were dressed for Christmas celebrations and walked through Bodmin town centre to bring a smile to the local community during difficult times. • Launched ‘A Daily Hug’ project via Facebook. This involved going live or posting a pre-recorded video on Facebook to help our service users and supporter’s well-being during the pandemic. This was so popular that it received four rounds of funding including grants from the mental health charity, Mind and Cornwall Community Foundation. In just one month, the project reached over 84,900 people with over 11,900 engagements. • Outcomes from a survey for ‘A Daily Hug’, conducted by the charity Mind, reported that 100% would recommend our service to a friend or family member experiencing problems with their mental health and well-being. 72% of those - agreed their well being had improved

whilst the remaining 28% strongly
agreed.
• Launched a YouTube channel and
become more active on social media
platforms so our service users and
supporters could stay in touch with what
the charity was up to.
• Became a member of the National
Equine Welfare Council (NEWC) and
continued to build relationships with
similar equine charities including World
Horse Welfare, the Mare & Foal
Sanctuary and the RSPCA.
• Built relationships and partnerships for
our well-being provisions including
partnering with The Veterans Farm-Able
Foundation charity for our veteran’s
well-being programme and for our youth
well-being provision; Sowenna, a local
NHS unit run by Cornwall NHS
Foundation Trust, other departments in
the NHS, Children and Adolescent
Mental Health Services (CAMHS),
additional schools, both primary and
secondary, children in care units, social
workers and social prescribers.
• Continued to build and establish a
relationship with the local community
and work in collaboration with
organisations such as local schools,
social services and mental health
provisions.
• Rescued a variety of animals to add to
Hugs provision, including 3 feral cats, a
piglet and more rescue chickens.
• Established a fundraising strategy and
business plan to enable the charity to
recover and grow after the pandemic.
Income streams have been diversified
and include: applications to trusts and
grants, increasing donations via direct
debits and individual giving, legacies
and corporate sponsorships. From
August 2019 to 31st May 2020, the
charity received £53,750 from trusts and
grant funding. From June 2020 to 31st
of May 2021 this increased to £94,981.
Regular donors have increased and
‘Sponsor an Animal’ gifts for resident
animals has proved popular.
• Continued to work with professionals,
including a Health and Safety
consultant, to ensure we are doing the
best we can to support our charity and
beneficiaries and keep all safe.
• Started to create a track system for
those rescues who are overweight or
suffering from or susceptible to laminitis.
• Alongside normal maintenance, the
charity has provided extra care to help
the land recover from the harsh and wet
winter and have re-seeded half the
grazing, with the other half planned for
the next charity year.
• Three large field shelters have been
added this year, kindly funded by
Network for Animals. This has made a
huge difference to our rescues, enabling
them to shelter from the elements.
A future plan has been established for as
follows:
• Continue to adapt and implement our
fundraising strategy, ensuring we are
able to adjust where needed when the
unexpected comes along e.g.
coronavirus pandemic.
• Stabilise and then grow the charity to
meet demand for both our animal
rescue and human well-being support.
• Increase capacity for on-site well-being
support to meet demand. Continue to
train staff and liaise with other
professionals in the sector to ensure the
referrals being received (which are more
complex with a multitude of needs) are
getting the best support than can.
• Continue to research different methods
of Equine Assisted Interventions and
Ecotherapy to help shape the services
The Hugs Foundation provides.
• Develop services to corporate groups
for team building activities. This will
raise awareness for the charity, build
corporate relationships and aim to
increase fundraising opportunities.
• Evaluate veterans project, adjust
accordingly then apply for funding to run
the next programme.
• Increase volunteer and work experience
numbers post pandemic.

Achievements against
objectives set		 Para 1.41
Performance of fundraising
activities against objectives
set		 Para 1.41 At the end of 2019, the charity recruited its
first fundraiser to devise a business
development strategy to include service
development, funding strategy and
sustainability milestones and help with
administration and operation of the charity.
One main corporate sponsor has provided
the largest percentage of our funding since
our inception. The pandemic has hugely
highlighted the need to be less reliant on
one sponsor, due to them being unable to
sustain their pre pandemic levels of
support. Post pandemic, the charity needs
to stabilise and become sustainable before
it can expand further to ensure the charity’s
long term survival. Hence, a change in the
way the charity is funded is much needed
and so a phased reduction has started from
the main corporate sponsor, with £120,000
committed for the next charity year and a
steady decrease over the following 3 years.
This year the targets set for the fundraising
have been very positive, especially
considering the challenges of the
pandemic. The charity has managed to
raise nearly £100,000 in trust and grant
funding and individual giving has increased.
Funding streams have been diversified to
include: individual giving, memberships,
legacies, activities within the local
community and trust and grant funding.
Legacies and corporate sponsorship
income streams are being explored and the
hope is to build this income as the charity
becomes better known in the community.
Moving forwards, there is a flexible and
diverse fundraising plan in place to help the
charity recover and start to grow once
more.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period		 Para 1.21 Income and expenditure have decreased
this year due to the impact of the
coronavirus pandemic.
During the year receipts of £266,379 were
received from donations, trust and grants,
sponsorships, rehoming fees and service
charges. Of this, £130,605 was received
from a corporate sponsorship partner that
provided donations to set up and establish
the charity through support with staffing
and running costs. The partnership will
continue to provide support for the charity
with an aim to becoming self-funding in the
long term. £94,981 was raised in trust and
grant funding, a large increase on the
previous year. A fundraising strategy has
been put in place for the next few years, to
reduce the donation amount and reliance
on the corporate donor and diversify
income streams, working towards self-
sustainability.
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held		 Para 1.22 The Hugs Foundation is a young,
registered charity and therefore significant
setup and operational costs have been
incurred, thus the ability to create cash
reserves has not been possible. In addition
to this, the coronavirus pandemic, made it
financially impossible to build or retain any
reserve funding. The Hugs Foundation also
believes that monies received should be
spent in accordance with the charity
mission and not held long term in a bank
account. There were very little reserves
during the pandemic, which caused
financial strain on the charity, however, the
diversity and flexibility of the Trustees and
fundraising strategy in place, ensured the
charity was successful with emergency
funding and survived.
The next charity year, The Hugs
Foundation has an agreement with its
corporate sponsor, to receive £10,000 per
month unrestricted funding. Therefore, the
reserves policy will be to operate with
minimal reserves whilst the charity
stabilises and carries out its fundraising
strategy. The corporate sponsor
commitment, along with the fundraising
strategy in place to increase income
diversity, gives the Trustees confidence
that The Hugs Foundation has the certainty
and resilience it requires to deliver its
charitable objectives and survive long term.
Any cash funds held, either restricted or
unrestricted, will be carried over to continue
to support the work of the charity into the
next financial year. Restricted funding
carried over, (e.g., the charity could not run
interventions during the pandemic so the
funding could not be spent as intended),
will be spent in accordance with the
individual application. For any that are
taking longer to spend than anticipated, the
relevant grant or trust organisation(s) will
be notified, and a plan agreed to spend the
reserves moving forward.
From 2022 and depending on the outcome
of the financial strategy and financial
climate, The Hugs Foundation aim to
increase its level of unrestricted funds over
the following years, in order to ensure the
underlying financial resilience of the charity
and to provide designated funds for specific
projects. The aim would be for a minimum
level of free reserves that The Hugs
Foundation will hold in unrestricted funds,
excluding fixed assets, to cover three to six
months of core running costs plus any
potential liabilities in the event of the Hugs
Foundation having to cease its activities.
The reserves policy will be reviewed
annually by The Hugs Foundation
Trustees.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 Total reserves held on 31 May 2021 were
£72,244, split as unrestricted funds of
£42,815 and restricted funds of £29,429.
£5,539 of the unrestricted funds balance is
held as cash.
Reasons for holding zero
reserves		 Para 1.22 See above reserves policy.
Details of fund materially in
deficit		 Para 1.24
Explanation of any
uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a going
concern		 Para 1.23 The coronavirus pandemic has had a
negative impact on the charity’s income
since March 2020. The charity has been
unable to run fundraising events, school
holiday activities, care home visits and well-
being interventions. In November 2020, the
charity was able to re-open for its on-site
well-being support, but a few weeks later,
the country went back into lockdown and so
interventions were once again unable to
run. On-site interventions re-opened again
from April 2021, although these are being
run at lower capacity due to staffing levels
and Government restrictions. However the
charity has been successful in applications
for additional grant funding which has been
received in 2020-2021. Demand for horse
rescues and rehoming is continuing to rise
and well-being service referrals have

increased by 50% and so the outlook for The Hugs Foundation is looking optimistic.

1.2 Going concern

If there are material uncertainties related to events or conditions that cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, please provide the following details or state "Not applicable", if appropriate:

An explanation as to those factors that support the conclusion that the charity is a going concern;

The coronavirus pandemic has had a negative impact on the charity’s income since March 2020. The charity has been unable to run fundraising events, school holiday activities, care home visits and well-being interventions. In November 2020, the charity was able to re-open for its onsite well-being support, but a few weeks later, the country went back into lockdown and so interventions were once again unable to run. On-site interventions re-opened again from April 2021, although these are being run at lower capacity due to staffing levels and Government restrictions. However the charity has been successful in applications for additional grant funding which has been received in 202021. Demand for horse rescues and rehoming is continuing to rise and well-being service referrals have increased by 50% and so the outlook for The Hugs Foundation is looking optimistic.

1.3 Change of accounting policy

The accounts present a true and fair view and the accounting policies adopted are those outlined in note 2.

1.4 Changes to accounting estimates

No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period (3.46 FRS 102 SORP).

1.5 Material prior year errors

No material prior year error have been identified in the reporting period (3.47 FRS 102 SORP).

Section C Notes to the accounts (cont)

Note 2 Accounting policies 2.1 INCOME

Recognition of income
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
• the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
•it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
• the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donated goods
Contractual income and
performance related
grants
Offsetting
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or
permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
Grants and donations
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition
criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).
This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or
services or met the performance related conditions.
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the
expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income
from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance
sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading
activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading
activities'.
Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets
and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations
when receivable.
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be
the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt.
In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an
expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described
in the trustees’ annual report.
Settlement of insurance
claims
Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition
criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other
income in the SoFA.
Support costs
The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
Volunteer help
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income
with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in
the SOFA.
Donated services and
facilities
Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of
the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be
exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent
that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant
only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).
Legacies
Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has
been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in
the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the
charity or have been met.
Government grants
The charity has received government grants in the reporting period
Tax reclaims on
donations and gifts
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor.
Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is
treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the
terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and
any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the
year.
Income from interest,
royalties and dividends
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can
be measured reliably.
Income from membership
subscriptions
Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations
and Legacies.
Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other
benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as
income from charitable activities.

2.3 ASSETS

Heritage assets
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least
£3,000.
Creditors

discounts
Provisions for liabilities
A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently
measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the
reporting date
Basic financial
instruments
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost
categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs
by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Redundancy cost
The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period.
Deferred income
No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.
Governance and support
costs
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its
compliance with regulation and good practice.
Liability recognition
Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or
constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the
obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
They are valued at cost.
Investments
Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are
valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year
end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be
measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment.
Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a
maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments
Grants with performance
conditions
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of
service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the
recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
Grants payable without
performance conditions
Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to
realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be
recognised.
Stocks and work in
progress
Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net
realisable value.
They are valued at cost.
The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have

They are valued at cost.
The charity has heritage assets, that is, non-monetary assets with historic, artistic,
scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that are held and
maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. The depreciation
rates and methods used as disclosed in note 9.6.1.4.
The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per
paragraph 11.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17
to 11.19, FRS102 SORP.
Tangible fixed assets for
use by charity
The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.2.
Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value
based on the service potential provided by items of stock.
Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract.
Debtors
Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at
settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently,
they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.
Current asset investments
The charity has has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash
equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and cash
equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to

They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments.		 Yes

We currently have just one member
of staff on the furlough scheme. We
are hoping to bring the staff member
back to work in August 2021. We
also have our yard manager on
maternity leave meaning we have a
very small yard team. A business
recovery plan is in place to help the
charity recover from the pandemic
and then grow to meet demand for
both the animal welfare services The
Hugs Foundation provides and its
well-being support.		 Due to COVID-19 impacting charity
funding, we had to furlough 4
members of staff and in June 2020
they were very sadly made
redundant as the financial climate
does not seem to be improving
anytime in the near future. This
enables our focus to be primarily on
the welfare and care of the animals
and humans that Hugs Foundation
supports.
The charity has put a plan in place to
keep expenditure to a minimum
whilst it recovers from the effects of
the pandemic. Income stream have
been diversified and applications
from trust and grant funding have
been successful so far and so the
Trustees are confident that the
charity’s plan will see the charity
through this difficult time and
steadily increase income once more.		 This has saved the charity just under
£8,000 monthly - equating to over
£95,000 annually.
