|Summary of the main|Para 1.17 and<br>|Our main charitable activities are to provide|
|activities in relation to those<br>purposes for the public<br>benefit, in particular, the<br>activities, projects or<br>services identified in the<br>accounts.|1.19|a safe, nurturing and enriching environment<br>for our animal rescues, enabling us to<br>rehabilitate and rehome as many as<br>possible into a forever home and to provide<br>well-being support to those in need. We do<br>this by:<br><br>working alongside other rescues and<br>organisations including; World Horse<br>Welfare, the Mare & Foal Sanctuary, the<br>RSPCA, the police and local councils, to<br>rescue animals in need.<br><br>being active members of the National<br>Equine Welfare Council (NEWC).<br><br>rehabilitating rescue horses/ponies<br>through individual programmes using<br>ethical and empathic training techniques<br>to create positive experiences for our<br>rescues, enabling them to trust humans<br>and build their confidence.<br><br>finding the right match for our rescues<br>and their forever home.<br><br>attending events and open days to raise<br>awareness of the charity, educate the<br>public in animal welfare and human<br>well-being and promote positive animal<br>welfare.<br><br>providing well-being support through on-<br>site interventions to children, young<br>people, serving military personnel and<br>veterans. These interventions are set up<br>as a course of six sessions, with the<br>option to extend if needed, and have<br>been shaped by people with lived<br>experiences and experts in well-being,<br>learning and development. We provide<br>a unique mix of nature based<br>interventions together with mentoring<br>and workshops that can include; animal<br>assisted services, nature activities,<br>therapeutic learning, ecotherapy,|





|teambuilding, arts and crafts, forest|

|based activities, learning about|
|sustainability and practical skills, such|
|as horticulture and growing vegetables.|
|<br>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 and feedback we|
|receive 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.|
|In April 2022, we were one of the first|
|organisations to be accepted onto the|
|Human Equine Interaction Register UK|
|(HEIR). There have been no regulations in|
|the UK to protect both the service users|
|that access organisations for support and|
|the equines that work in therapeutic|
|sessions, leaving both at risk of further|
|harm. The register has been created to|
|ensure all people involved in the field of|
|human equine interactions operate|
|credible, high quality, safe and ethical|
|practice standards for their service|
|provision. We are incredibly proud of this|
|achievement.|
|There have been 10 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. Two of these ponies|
|had behavioural issues that their homes|
|were happy to try and work with them to|
|improve, although sadly they decided it was|
|too much. However, as they were such|
|lovely homes, they rehomed 2 alternative|
|ponies that are now fully settled.|
|The charity is fully insured. All staff and|
|volunteers are enhanced DBS checked, a|





|||full safeguarding policy and procedures are<br>in place and updated regularly, as are our<br>other policies, such as equal opportunities.<br>Volunteers provide vital resource to the<br>charity through activities such as mucking<br>out, grooming and other essential yard<br>tasks, providing benefit to both visitor and<br>charity, although this has reduced due to<br>staffing capacity to manage a full team of<br>volunteers. See below section ‘contribution<br>made by volunteers’ for future plan.<br>A monthly newsletter continues to be<br>produced and sent to our supporters (who<br>have signed up in accordance with GDPR)<br>to keep them up to date with the activities<br>of the charity, promote our events and to<br>encourage donor engagement.|

However the charity has<br>continued been innovative and flexible and despite<br>the difficulties, manged to achieve great things<br>including:<br><br>Rescued 41 equines in this year from situations of<br>illness, mistreatment and/or abandonment (a total<br>of 162 horses and ponies and over 200 animals in<br>total since opening in 2017).<br><br>Rehomed 33 of those rehabilitated horses/ponies<br>(a total of 108 since opening in 2017).<br><br>Provided 595 hours of mental well-being support<br>to 89 individual children and young people (a total<br>of 5823 hours and 577 individuals supported<br>since opening in 2017).<br><br>Our feedback forms are completed on a voluntary<br>basis as for some service users compulsory<br>completion may expose them to additional<br>pressure and we have found that this can be a<br>barrier and cause a service user to shut down. In<br>addition, some service users have such complex<br>needs that completing the form is impossible or<br>their needs are such that the form would not<br>provide for accurate data. Some service users<br>just do not wish to complete the form and we<br>respect their wishes. We do try to encourage a<br>verbal quote at least, to see if we have made a<br>positive difference to them and gather feedback<br>from the parent or carer that attends sessions<br>with them.<br><br>Of the 89 service users, 37 (42%) completed a<br>feedback form. Twenty six individuals completed<br>the 7 item Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well-Being<br>Scale (WEMWBS) with 85% recording a positive<br>change in their well-being. Of the three individuals<br>that showed a slight decrease, there were known<br>external variables that the service<br>users/carer/parent stated contributed to these<br>scores.<br><br>Eleven service users completed the traffic light<br>feedback form. 91% reported an increase in their<br>well-being with one service user scoring the same<br>before and after their Hugs sessions.|

||Income streams have been diversified and|





- include; applications to trusts and grants, increasing donations via direct debits and individual giving, memberships, 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. For this charity year, we have raised £99,531. Funders have included; Garfield Weston Foundation, Arnold Clark Foundation, Animal Friends, CCF's Social Enterprise Grant, Postcode Local Trust, Pets at Home Foundation, Tesco Community Grants, Co-Op Community Fund, Jean Sainsbury Animal Welfare Trust, Clare Milne Trust, Duchy Health Charity, V Delaney Charitable Trust, Superfast Cornwall 3 – Inclusive Growth, Business Digital Support, Network for Animals, Petplan Charitable Trust and The Norman Family Charitable Trust. 

- Regular donors have increased from 16 monthly donors donating £2,400 every year to 61 donating £7,800 every year for Hugs. ‘Sponsor an Animal’ gifts for resident animals has proved popular. 

- We have 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. 

- We have created more track systems for those rescues who are overweight or suffering from or susceptible to laminitis. These proved very successful in our previous charity year, with one pony losing an incredible 7 stone. 

- Alongside normal maintenance, the charity continued to provide extra care to help the land recover from the harsh and wet winter and have re-seeded the other half of the grazing. 

- Mudcontrol mats have been laid to create paths away from mud in winter and providing mud free feeding stations and shelters. 

- Monthly tack sales have re-started and have been successful for fundraising. 

- 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. cost of living causing more horses and ponies to be surrendered. 



- 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 Services and Ecotherapy to help shape the services The Hugs Foundation provides. Be active members of HEIR and NEWC. 

- Continue to monitor moorland welfare. We have established contacts in this area and will be working closely with them to ensure welfare on the local moors is monitored and intervention made when necessary. 

- Work on land including creating a large chicken run for when bird flu restrictions are put in place, create and maintain more track systems, revamp the outdoor school to include fencing and new surface and create more permanent area for a round pen. 

- 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. 

- Continue to develop our staff through training and education appropriate to their sector. 

- Increase our newsletter list to help grow our supporters and convert to monthly donors. 

- Apply for funding to employ a Volunteer Coordinator enable 5 volunteer programmes to run in our area of deprivation including; 1) supported volunteering for children/young people who have attended our well-being sessions, allowing them to take the next step in their recovery and learn new skills for future opportunities. 2) Career volunteer programme to offer structured work placements/experience programmes to allow development of career skills for young people. 3) General volunteer programme to support young people and adults including those who are vulnerable. Many have complex needs and these kinds of opportunities are not available. We will increase confidence, give new skills and help demonstrate they can do a role within an organisation, helping build their CV, evidence of reliability and supporting them to progress, find other roles and possibly even 



employment. 4) Educational school visits, attending at least 12 annually. 5) Fundraising volunteer programme, to help raise funds through community and corporate fundraising and provide support to the Fundraising and Admin Manager.

|Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stating why they are held|Para 1.22|The Hugs Foundation is a fairly young<br>charity and significant setup and<br>operational costs have been incurred, thus<br>the ability to create cash reserves has not<br>been possible. In addition to this, the<br>coronavirus pandemic and now the cost of<br>living crisis, have made it financially<br>impossible to build or retain any reserve<br>funding. The Hugs Foundation also<br>believes that monies received should be<br>spent in accordance with the charity<br>mission and not held long term in a bank<br>account. There were very little reserves<br>during the pandemic, which caused<br>financial strain on the charity, however, the<br>diversity and flexibility of the Trustees and<br>fundraising strategy in place, ensured the<br>charity was successful with emergency<br>funding and survived.<br>In the next charity year, The Hugs<br>Foundation has an agreement with its<br>corporate sponsor, to receive £100,000<br>unrestricted funding. Therefore, the<br>reserves policy will be to operate with<br>minimal reserves whilst the charity<br>stabilises and carries out its fundraising<br>strategy. The corporate sponsor<br>commitment, along with the fundraising<br>strategy in place to increase income<br>diversity, gives the Trustees confidence<br>that The Hugs Foundation has the certainty<br>and resilience it requires to deliver its<br>charitable objectives and survive long term.<br>Any cash funds held, either restricted or<br>unrestricted, will be carried over to continue<br>to support the work of the charity into the<br>next financial year. Restricted funding<br>carried over, (e.g., the charity could not run<br>interventions at full capacity during the<br>pandemic so the funding could not be spent<br>fully), will be spent in accordance with the<br>individual application. For any that are<br>taking longer to spend than anticipated, the<br>relevant grant or trust organisation(s) have<br>been notified, and a plan agreed to spend<br>the reserves moving forward.<br>From 2022 and depending on the outcome<br>of the financial strategy and financial<br>climate, The Hugs Foundation aim to<br>increase its level of unrestricted funds over|





|||the following years, in order to ensure the<br>underlying financial resilience of the charity<br>and to provide designated funds for specific<br>projects. The aim would be for a minimum<br>level of free reserves that The Hugs<br>Foundation will hold in unrestricted funds,<br>excluding fixed assets, to cover three to six<br>months of core running costs plus any<br>potential liabilities in the event of the Hugs<br>Foundation having to cease its activities.<br>The reserves policy is reviewed annually by<br>The Hugs Foundation Trustees.|

## **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. There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or **Offsetting** 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). 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 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 **Legacies** 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 Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. **Tax reclaims on** Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is **donations and gifts** treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. **Contractual income and** This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or **performance related** services or met the performance related conditions. **grants** Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be **Donated goods** exchanged) unless impractical to do so. 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. 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. **Donated services and** Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of **facilities** the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. 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. **Support costs** The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described **Volunteer help Income from interest,** This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can **royalties and dividends** be measured reliably. **Income from membership** Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations **subscriptions** 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. **Settlement of insurance** 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 **claims** income in the SoFA. This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and **Investment gains and** any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the **losses** year.
