STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

During the year, we achieved our objectives which were to:

  1. Operate in specific areas: currently, Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Surrey , and London. In additions parts of Devon and Essex were developed.

  2. To develop support for 40 families dealing with diagnosed Autism, Down’s Syndrome, Emotional Issues or Physical Disablement

  3. To have a total of 17 dogs embedded within Schools

  4. To support 15 adults with trained Assistance Dogs or those in training with any of our core issues

  5. To develop our Puppy Project with five dogs under training within Helpful Hounds itself (as opposed to the Families)

  6. To continue developing relationships to create and develop the foundations for a secure Core Funding input that will allow us to focus on developing new initiatives that will, in turn, support more families and schools.

The Charity continues to be led by Peter Rufus as the CEO (Volunteer) reporting to the Trustees. This is formally on a quarterly basis but with open access to discuss any issues that required attention with decisions confirmed in writing or as subject to a Board Resolution.

Reporting to the CEO are seventeen specialist dog trainers who mainly work part time an increase of two since last year. These trainers are responsible for working with the families, and adults that we support as well as the Special Needs Schools and Schools/Colleges with Special Needs Students where we embed an Assistance Dog. This means that not only do our Trainers need Dog Training/Behaviourist Qualifications, but they also need experience and qualifications in working with Special Needs Children. Added to this all of our Staff and Volunteers working with Families or Schools have Enhanced DBS as well as Safeguarding Children Level 2.

In addition, during the year we have retained our volunteers that support Strategy and Marketing, CSR Fund Raising, New Applications, Marketing as well as the Finance Manager. In addition, we have recruited a Volunteer PR Manager and a Volunteer Training Admin Manager: Both providing part time support for the Charity.

The issue of diversity is a subject of continuing focus, now that the Charity is growing ( with a total of 29 Staff, Volunteers and Trustees) with the result that: • Five of the seven Trustees are female • Three of the Trustees use wheelchairs • One of the Trustees has Parkinson’s • Thirteen of our Trainers are female • One of our Trainers uses a wheelchair and has a Medical Alert Dog • Three of our people are under 30 .

Trustees' Report

At Helpful Hounds, last year and the first months of the new financial year have highlighted a concerning slowdown in grant funding from charitable trusts and foundations. This mirrors broader trends in the UK charity sector, where competition for grants has intensified, with application success rates reportedly requiring up to 15 applications per successful grant. Additionally, public funding cuts and increased financial pressures on charities have exacerbated the funding challenges, with 65% of charities expecting conditions to worsen in 2025. Rising operational costs and donor fatigue have further strained resources, leading to closures of smaller charities and even some bigger ones, and heightened competition for available funding. These factors collectively contribute to the challenges we are experiencing in securing grants. In response, we have recognised the need to diversify our income streams, focusing on building knowledge about legacy giving and expanding our outreach to corporate businesses to ensure long-term sustainability.

In Addition, we have still needed to be cautious with regard to infections of all types in view of the vulnerable families that we support as well as the vulnerability of some of our Helpful Hounds Staff and Volunteers.

In March 2023, Helpful Hounds was accepted as a Candidate of Assistance Dogs International And Assistance Dogs UK. We have been working to align our practices and administration to achieve full membership by the second quarter of 2026.

Our general fund raising, including that from Alternative Provision Education, was above the previous year, although our reserves have now reduced to a more normal level expected by Trusts and Funders. However, the legacy from three years ago and smaller, subsequent amounts, has created a significant input to help fund our growth in an otherwise difficult time. The impact of this will be dealt with in the financial review. For our fund raising we have to thank those organisations that have supported us, during the year including, Doyly Carte Charitable Trust, De Byre Charitable Foundation, Edgar Lawley Foundation, The Hendy Foundation, Anton Jurgens Charitable Trust, Bailey Thomas Charitable Trust, Garfield Weston Foundation, Marsh Christian Trust, and Children In Need. We also, received local support from Tesco, ASDA, Morrisons, Cascades (Portsmouth) as well as The Westbourne Rotary, our Schools and families and local clubs/organisations. All of this support is gratefully received and helps the Charity to work with more recipients.

In July 2023 Helpful Hounds was appointed as an Official Charity Partner of AFC Bournemouth for the 2023/4 season which continued into the 2024/5 Season. This is an excellent endorsement of the work we are doing in the local community, and we will be working to make the most of this to develop and promote the services we offer. In addition, we have also developed Charity Partnerships with Steele Raymond, Solicitors and The Crane Valley Golf Club as part of our corporate diversification programme.

Last year, we announced the development of a new team that would support local community facilities and hubs through the visits of “Community Dogs” and their Handlers. This involves visits to Care Homes, Nursing Homes, Dementia Care, Mental Health Hospitals, End of Life Hospices as well as Homeless Charities, Universities and Colleges. The service has now been tested with a small team of existing handlers/Trainers and the initial results have been excellent with great feedback, especially within the Dementia Care area. It is now our intention to expand this area, further, by recruiting and assessing more dogs to join the group. It will run alongside the primary work of the Charity without impacting the work there.

FINANCIAL REVIEW PUBLIC BENEFIT

The trustees confirm that they have complied with section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 having due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.

Page 3

Helpful Hounds Assistance Dogs

Trustees' Report

The year was also one of continuing to make new contacts and developing the brand recognition of Helpful Hounds, through our Association with DCMHA (Dorset Community Mental Health Alliance), Bournemouth University, the Dorset Chamber of Commerce, Bournemouth Chamber of Trade, Arts University Bournemouth, Solent University , AFC Bournemouth, Agria Insurance, Barchester Group Care Homes, , BBX and various trading groups as well as radio appearances and written articles. The objective of all of this activity is to raise awareness of how we can help families, adults and Schools within the communities we operate, to highlight the impact that a well-trained Assistance Dog can make, especially (but not limited to), in the areas of Autism and learning difficulties. It also creates background for organisations that might provide funding so that we can expand Helpful Hounds wider in the communities.

Whilst Covid is little talked about, currently, it did set a precedent for developing practices to safeguard vulnerable families/adults to safeguard as far as possible from the selection of viruses and infections found spreading within the country. We have to reassure those families and Schools that we support or places such as Universities and Care Homes that we visit that their continuing health is a matter of priority for us.

The Financial Model remains the same in keeping our basic overheads low, working mainly with Volunteer Staff in order that we can focus our efforts on the heart of our Charity: Training more Assistance Dogs and supporting more families and Schools . However, we recognise that there are certain constraints to working totally with Volunteers as the Charity expands with the business planning, budgeting and management skills required. As a result, our business plan and budgets for the next five years are acknowledging the key roles that would benefit for a permanent paid role.

So far, the major remuneration has gone to some of our longer-term trainers. Of the 17 Trainers, nine Trainers are now remunerated (two full time and seven part time), while others are Volunteering as an initial commitment to the Charity before being salaried. The majority are in the position of wishing to continue as Volunteers.

It must be remembered that training Assistance Dogs is a longer-term activity, taking between two and two and a half years for each dog. This means that our growth needs to be firmly controlled with a clear balance between four factors:

  1. The available Revenue

  2. The number of Trainers

  3. The number of dogs under training

  4. Overhead expenses

Our overriding objective is to recruit more Trainers with the right qualifications and experience. Our preference is for IMDT trained Trainers, although other qualifications are accepted. The prime requirement for a trainer is a calm temperament combined with consistent approach and perseverance! This initiative is under way and will be an ongoing feature of our development. The majority of our Trainers also have Special Needs experience, in addition to their dog training qualifications.

During the year we raised £368,894) from our normal activities. This included Grants and major donations, contributions from Alternative Provision Education work, individual donations as well as funds from collections and external events (Mainly in the summer)

Our objective is to create sustainable growth and therefore The Trustees have agreed that the following projects should be progressed and a budget of £118k has been allocated for:

  1. Puppy Project: 3 Charity Puppies per year at £6,000 pa over two years (£36k)

  2. Additional Part Time Salaried Trainers: 4 at £12,000 salary pa plus pension and NI. (£48,000)

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 November 2024

1 Charity status

The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in , and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.

The address of its registered office is: Pax House New Road Bournemouth BH10 7DN

These financial statements were authorised for issue by the trustees on 3 April 2025.

2 Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Basis of preparation

Helpful Hounds Assistance Dogs meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.

Income and endowments

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.

Page 9

Helpful Hounds Assistance Dogs

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 November 2024

Donations and legacies

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the grant of probate when the administrator/executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date. In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash or a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title to the asset having been transferred to the charity.

Investment income

Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Support costs

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Governance costs

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Page 10

Helpful Hounds Assistance Dogs

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 November 2024

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Asset class Depreciation method and rate
Motor Vehicles 25% Straight Line
Equipment 15% Straight Line

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
