Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	For the benefit of the public to relieve the suffering and alleviate distress of Bedlington Terriers and Bedlington crosses in need of care by providing behavioural support and advice to families who are experiencing issues with their dogs and re-homing Bedlington Terriers and Bedlington crosses who have been given up, left homeless or whose owners cannot keep them for whatever reason.

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	• 2022 was a better year compared to 2021 when we were very restricted with our rehoming process and attendance at events. In 2022 we started to return to the events that we usually attend which not helps to raise funds but also raise the profile of the charity and the Bedlington Terrier generally. • Our Foster Carers' Training Scheme continued to operate and although we were unable to hold these face to face we ran sessions online via Zoom. • We have 8 members of the Coordinator’s Team covering England, Scotland and Wales • We have 2 fully qualified trainers and behaviourists on the Training and Behaviour Team – both volunteers and

DocuSign Envelope ID: A3B38B60-3892-4AE4-88DD-3AD9C46D3DA7

• both who are able to liaise with our appointed behaviourists around the country working with our rescue dogs and their new adopting families on the ground.

• • We have 2 volunteer Consultant Vets who, although they do not diagnose, will offer guidance and advice where this is required for our medical cases

• • We have a volunteer Vet Liaison Officer who, where necessary, liaises between adopting families or foster homes on cases which require ongoing veterinary care. She also checks out potential vet practices for us to ensure that they follow a Fear Free handling protocol.

• • Our Rehoming Procedure offers behavioural and medical back up and support, not only to our adopting and foster homes but also to our gifting homes.

• • Every dog that is surrendered to us has an intake assessment carried out by a fully qualified behaviourist. This enables us to match the right home to the right dog and vice versa.

• • Every adopting family has a ‘Settling In’ session usually the day the dog arrives or the day after adoption, carried out by an appointed qualified behaviourist. This helps to reduce any issues in the early days and sets everyone off on the right track from the very beginning, meaning that the bounce out rate for the dogs in our care is practically zero.

• • Our Facebook page has over 12,000 supporters and through this we are able to educate as well as post success stories to enable our supporters to see how their donations are used to benefit the dogs in our care. This often involves information on where to get help and advice for Bedlington owners whose dogs also suffer from skin allergies / ear issues and copper toxicosis

• 2022 saw the BTRF eNewsletter really becoming established as a quarterly production. It has grown from a two page production to a 20+ page

DocuSign Envelope ID: A3B38B60-3892-4AE4-88DD-3AD9C46D3DA7

informative eNewsletter with updates on all the dogs in our care as well as an opportunity to help educate our supporters in dog care and welfare through the articles that we cover. It goes out directly to a little 700 supporters who have specifically given permission to receive it via email in addition to being made available on the website for download. • Following the way we were forced to work during Covid, this has opened up new options around our rehoming process. We are now able to use Zoom and WhatsApp in the process where needed, both in finding suitable adopters but also in how we support new home following adoption. Using both Zoom and WhatsApp we have been able to stay in close contact with our foster carers and new homes to make sure our dogs settle well from the moment they arrive at the new home until the behaviourists visit in person for the ‘settling in’ session. This is a huge benefit not only to the dogs but also our new homes.

We have various other ongoing fundraising initiatives – a Regular Giving Scheme, Legacy Scheme, Collection Boxes, an annual BTRF calendar, online auctions, online raffles, photo competitions, merchandise sales etc.

2022 Statistics:

During 2022:

• 6 Bedlingtons and their crosses were surrendered to us

• 5 Bedlingtons and their crosses were successfully rehomed

• All 5 dogs and their adoptive or foster homes were appointed behaviourists to work with them to address the medical and / or behaviour issues the dogs came with or to help them settle in - BTRF fully covers the cost of this

DocuSign Envelope ID: A3B38B60-3892-4AE4-88DD-3AD9C46D3DA7

		• We have 8 dogs remaining in foster care due to ongoing complex medical and / or behavioural issues. • 3 dogs are currently in forever foster care requiring ongoing medical / behavioural support – one of which came to us with Copper Toxicosis • 5 dogs are in longer term foster care, fully financially supported by BTRF.

Section C Notes to the accounts

Recognition of income 2.2 INCOME Donated goods 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). Donated services and f iliti Contractual income and performance related grants Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Legacies Tax reclaims on donations and gifts 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. This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. 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. Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. Offsetting Grants and donations Note 2 Accounting policies Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of th ift t th h it id d th l f th ift b d li bl 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. 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. 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;  the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).

Grants with performance conditions Volunteer help The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. facilities Governance and support costs Creditors Redundancy cost The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. 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. Support costs Investment gains and losses Settlement of insurance claims 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts Income from membership subscriptions Income from interest, royalties and dividends The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. Deferred income No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. 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 the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. 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. Grants payable without performance conditions 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. Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies. 2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP. This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. 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.
