TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED 5TH APRIL 2021
The Trustees present their report along with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 5[th] April 2021. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 7 and comply with the Charity’s constitution and applicable law.
| Trustees | The Trustees named on page 1 have served throughout the |
|---|---|
| year unless otherwise indicated. | |
| Election | The Trustees (Executive Committee) are elected by the |
| members at the Annual General Meeting, to hold ofice from | |
| the conclusion of that meeting to the end of the annual general | |
| meeting next after the date on which they came into ofice. | |
| They are normally recruited from volunteers etc., who have | |
| shown an interest in the Charity and the well-being of the | |
| animals. | |
| All candidates for election must be nominated and seconded by | |
| members of the Sanctuary. | |
| Governing Document | Governing Document dated 18thJanuary 2018 |
| Objects of the Charity | To provide for the care and protection of animals that are |
| sufering as a result of cruelty, sickness or neglect, and the | |
| prevention of cruelty to or sufering among animals. | |
| Specifc Investment | The Society can invest and deal with the monies of the Society |
| Powers | not immediately required for its purposes, in such investments |
| or securities, and in such manner, as may from time to time be | |
| determined, subject to such conditions and consents as may for | |
| the time being be imposed or required by law. | |
| Activities and | This has been a very unusual year, due of course to Covid 19, |
| Achievements | which caused the shops to be closed for a large part of the year, |
| During the Year | and meant that there could be no Open days, Summer & Winter |
| Fayres, and the café remained closed. | |
| This all reduced the income considerably but Covid grants from | |
| CCC and Furlough payments received totalling £58,971 | |
| together with an increase in donations of £35,812 enabled us to | |
| show a surplus of £14,310 whilst ensuring that the animals | |
| were well looked after, despite the Covid restrictions. | |
| Reserves Policy | Unfortunately, we do not have unrestricted funds which equate |
| to, at least, 12 months unrestricted expenditure, but we hope | |
| to, again, be in such a position in the reasonably near future, as | |
| we believe this to be in the best interests of the animals and | |
| the Charity. |

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED 5TH APRIL 2021
Risk Management The Trustees actively review the major risk as set out in the Reserves Policy above and believe that by increasing reserves combined with regular reviews of the controls over key financial systems, this will provide sufficient resources in the event of a worsening economy causing all donations etc., to finish or be much smaller. The Trustees have also examined other operational and business risks faced by the Charity and confirm that they have established systems to investigate the significant risks.
Statement of Trustee’s Responsibilities
Law applicable to Charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the Charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
(a)select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
(b)make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
(c) state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
(d)prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Approval
This report was approved by the Trustees on 14[th] December 2021 and signed on their behalf;

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS ON THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5TH APRIL 2021
– (AS SET OUT ON PAGES 5 10)
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The Charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the account under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145 (5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. 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 matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
A) to keep Accounting Records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011Act: and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the act have not been met: or
B) to which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
