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	During 2024 the charity accepted 289 sick or injured hedgehogs for care and were able to release 187 of them. All of these were released back to suitable sites. All release sites are carefully vetted and wherever possible the hedgehogs are released back to the area in or near which they were found. We are very proud of our release policy and are constantly monitoring research being produced in this area in order to ensure we are able to offer the best chance of survival at release for the hedgehogs that were in our care. We are not currently able to monitor the releases formally but we do so informally and all evidence points to success for most of the hedgehogs released. In 2024 we gave advice to 456 members of the public. SPHR reached over 250 families and children at a summer event in Newmarket. We worked with, and gave talks to 180 children at Colneis Primary School in Felixstowe, 30 children at Stonham Aspal Primary School, 80 children at Woodbridge Prep School, and 80 children at Elmswell Primary School. We spoke to and delivered educational workshops to 70 Beavers and Brownies and 15 children with special needs. We also delivered talks to 410 adults in WI groups, environmental groups and gardening clubs.

Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:

Achievements against objectives set	Para 1.41	We have continued to develop and deliver talks to a variety of groups about ecology and how we can help hedgehogs. Our work has been underpinned by some of the excellent research done outlined to us when we attended the International research and Best Care and Practices conference for hedgehogs in January 2024.
Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set	Para 1.41	Our small team of volunteers attending events have worked hard to raise awareness of the plight of hedgehogs and what people can do to help them in their own gardens. They are also helping to raise valuable funds for hedgehog care.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	Total income increased from £24,620 in 2023 to £121,279 in 2024, including a one- off legacy gift of £70,236 which the trustees ring-fenced to secure the long-term financial health of the charity. Expenses increased by £16,062 from £22,511 in 2023 to £38,573 in 2024. This resulted in a net operating surplus of £11,663 in 2024 compared to £261 in 2023. Total charity funds increased in 2024 by £82,706 to £105,199 including the legacy and restricted donations. The charity ended the year with £88,643 in the bank, versus £18,359 at the end of 2023. The charity had £23,039 in unrestricted, £70,236 in board restricted, and £11,924 in restricted assets at the end of 2024.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	No reserves were held.
Reasons for holding zero reserves	Para 1.22	The charity only raises sufficient funds to meet its needs and generate a small surplus as it employs no staff and has no office costs. All funds are used for the care of hedgehogs.
Details of fund materially in deficit	Para 1.24	N/A
Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern	Para 1.23	The future of the charity is financially secure thanks to the receipt of a large, one- off donation. However, the trustees are aware that they need to increase fundraising as costs have risen dramatically in the past few years. Veterinary medicines and food bills are increasing rapidly.

Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:

The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising)	Para 1.47	Donations are solicited on the charity website. Hedgehog adoptions are sold through the charity’s website. Fundraising events also raise money and increase awareness of the vulnerabilities of hedgehogs.
A description of the principal risks facing the charity	Para 1.46	The principal risk facing the charity is that it is run by a small number of trustees, all of whom are willing to continue in their roles, and volunteers who are all reliable but have no obligation to continue in their roles as they are not paid.

Policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees	Para 1.51	We have introduced a meet and greet for people who are potentially interested in becoming trustees, once a year. At this event potential trustees are given a welcome pack outlining what would be expected of them as trustees and their legal responsibilities should they become a trustee.
The charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works	Para 1.51	We are a small charity with a chair, treasurer and three additional trustees who are responsible for running the charity. The charity is run entirely by volunteers. Within the hospital the general cleaning and feeding is done by all volunteers and we now have 6 level one hog nurses who are able to competently carry out some of the simpler care activities related to caring for hedgehogs. The main medical care is done by the chair of trustees and a trustee who is a vet nurse, under the guidance of our veterinary practice Penrose Veterinary Group. These two trustees are responsible for the smooth running of the hospitals and the care of the hedgehogs and they liaise regularly to ensure this is done. The charity works with Suffolk Owl Sanctuary to work with hogs that need some extra pre-release experience. The organisation provides four outdoor pens for hedgehogs pre-release and Suffolk Prickles has offered training to their staff to assist with this.
Relationship with any related parties	Para 1.51	Total donations of £240 plus gift aid were received from one trustee in 2024

Other

During 2024 a total of £1740.00 was paid to two trustees to compensate them for expenses incurred solely for the benefit of the charity.

Note 2 Accounting policies continued 2.2 INCOME

This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.

Recognition of income 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. 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 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. 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. Mbhi bii hih i b h ih b i h 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 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. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. Volunteer help 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. The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report.	Yes No N/a	Yes No N/a	Yes No N/a

(the Charity) for the year ended 31 December 2024.

This report is made solely to the Charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with the Chari�es Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the trustees those ma�ers I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permi�ed by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the trustees as a body, for any work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.

Responsibili�es and basis of report

As the Charity's trustees, you are responsible for the prepara�on of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Chari�es Act 2011 (“the Act”). You consider that an audit is not required for the year under sec�on 144 (2) of the Act and that an independent examina�on is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under sec�on 145 of the Act;
follow the procedures laid down in general Direc�ons given by the Charity Commission under sec�on 145(5)(b) of the Act; and
to state whether par�cular ma�ers have come to my a�en�on.

Basis of the independent examiner's report

My examina�on was carried out in accordance with the general Direc�ons given by the Charity Commission. An examina�on includes a review of the accoun�ng records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes considera�on of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explana�ons from you as trustees concerning any such ma�ers. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those ma�ers set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connec�on with my examina�on no ma�er has come to my a�en�on:

which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to keep accoun�ng records in accordance with sec�on 130 of the Act; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accoun�ng records and comply with the accoun�ng requirements of the Act have not been met, or
to which, in my opinion, a�en�on should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
