Charity name: Bedlington Terrier Rescue Foundation

Charity registration number: 1176408

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.
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	• We provide medical, behavioural and training support for the dogs, gifting families, new adopters and foster homes in our care. • We now have a volunteer Rehoming Support Officer who oversees our Rehoming Register and liaises directly with potential new homes during an adoption process. • We have built and continue to build professional relationships with qualified behaviourists and trainers around the country who we appoint to work with our dogs on a case by case basis. • We continue to offer training to all our foster carers both before they take on a dog and whilst the dog is in their care. This enables us to respond quickly to emergency, urgent and sensitive rehoming cases. • We strive to minimise stress to the dogs in our care at each stage of the rehoming procedure and provide

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	• 2024 marked a more positive financial year for us compared to 2023. We saw an encouraging increase in supporters signing up to our Direct Debit donation scheme through CAF Donate. At present, we have six dogs in foster care, all requiring complex medical and behavioural support. To help raise funds, we organised several raffles and continued our tradition of producing an annual calendar—this year with the added interest of celebrity judge, James Strawbridge selecting the featured photos. Additionally, we held an online auction, which significantly contributed to our fundraising

Docusign Envelope ID: E43914C0-9368-45FE-AC9C-A2210D0E7EBB

	efforts. Thanks to these initiatives,
	we were able to navigate 2024 with
	greater financial stability than the
	previous year.
•	The rehoming application process,
	revised in 2023, is now well
	established and has significantly
	enhanced our ability to match each
	dog with the most suitable home.
•	The new database management
	system for our Rehoming Register
	is fully GDPR compliant and has
	proven effective, enabling us to
	shortlist potential homes more
	efficiently.
•	We were once again honoured with
	a nomination for the PetPlan Animal
	Charity Team of the Year. Although
	we did not win, the recognition
	served as a meaningful boost to our
	dedicated team of volunteers,
	acknowledging their hard work and
	commitment to the smooth running
	of the charity throughout the year.
•	Our Training and Behaviour Team
	continues to benefit from the
	support of three fully qualified
	volunteer trainers and behaviourists.
	They work closely with our
	appointed behaviour professionals
	across the country, providing hands-
	on guidance to our rescue dogs and
	their adoptive or foster families.
•	Our 'Sponsor a Foster Dog'
	scheme, designed to raise funds for
	dogs in permanent or long-term
	foster care, has not gained the
	traction we had hoped. In 2025, we
	aim to raise awareness of the
	initiative and increase the number of
	sponsors for each dog.
•	2024 saw the launch of our Club
	200 Prize Draw. After successfully
	obtaining a lottery licence, we
	began running the draw every two
	months. Due to growing popularity,
	it quickly transitioned into a monthly
	event. We now have a loyal group
	of supporters, with several opting to
	contribute through monthly Direct
	Debits.
•	In 2024, we were invited to run the
	dog show at the two-day Kent
	Country Show held at Quex Park in
	Birchington, Kent. The event
	attracted sponsorship from both

Docusign Envelope ID: E43914C0-9368-45FE-AC9C-A2210D0E7EBB

corporates and individual supporters, who generously sponsored the various classes. We charged an entry fee for each dog participating, with all proceeds going directly to BTRF. Thanks to the fantastic support, we raised an impressive £2,000. The event was very well received, with overwhelmingly positive feedback from attendees. As a result, the organisers have invited us to return and run the dog show again in 2025. • Our Facebook page currently has nearly 13,000 supporters. Through this platform, we not only share success stories but also provide educational content to demonstrate how donations directly benefit the dogs in our care. We often share information on where Bedlington owners can seek help and support for common health concerns such as skin allergies, ear issues, and copper toxicosis. • 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. All the hard work and dedication from our volunteers has enabled us to fully support the dogs in our care and the families adopting / foster these dogs

Achievements against objectives set	Para 1.41	2024 Statistics: During 2024: • We received 15 rehoming enquiries – both pure Bedlingtons and their crosses. Some of these cases resulted in dogs being rehomed privately, while others were able to remain with their families after working with a behaviourist we recommended. A number of enquiries did not progress beyond the initial stage.

Docusign Envelope ID: E43914C0-9368-45FE-AC9C-A2210D0E7EBB

		• Of the 15 enquiries, five dogs entered the BTRF rehoming process. Two have since been successfully rehomed, while three are still progressing through the rehoming process. For those rehomed, behaviourists were appointed to support each dog with any medical and/or behavioural challenges and to assist with their transition into a new home. These services are fully funded by BTRF. • 6 dogs are currently in permanent / long-term foster care requiring ongoing medical / behavioural support – one of which came to us with Copper Toxicosis
Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set	Para 1.41	We do not set fundraising targets. We have a fundraising committee who oversee general activities and we undertake specific appeals for certain cases.

The trustees are reviewing the Charity’s policies on financial support provided to adoptive and foster homes on veterinary expenses and are continuing to explore new potential ongoing fundraising opportunities.

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 facilities 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. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as i ith i l t t i d d th i t 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 the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. 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).

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. 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 These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least 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 Tangible fixed assets for use by charity 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.
