The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

For the benefit of the public,

1) To relieve people who are in need by reason of being homeless, vulnerably housed, domestic violence, hospitalised, mental health and rehabilitation or otherwise severely affected by poverty and to relieve the suffering of animals in need of care and attention, by:

A) Assisting in the provision of free veterinary care and free essential services and items such as goods, dog food / diet harnesses, grooming, obedience, training, leads, bedding, and toys for their animals

B) Arranging foster care at our safe kennel sanctuary for their animals when they are not able to care for them or when the animal has a specific medical need

C) Re-homing in the event the owner cannot support the animal (ie in the event of death or the owner having complex needs.

D) Assisting the owner in engaging with relevant services/pathways with a view to accommodation, medical support, rehabilitation, mental health and domestic violence or any other support services that the owner may be in personal need of.

2) To advance the education of the public in general in respect of animal care and welfare for the public benefit, particularly by training those working in the homeless and service sectors.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

During 2021 and 2022 DOTS continued to upgrade and modernise the kennels known as the 'Sanctuary' allowing the charity to increase the number of cases worked on. In the year, we have continued applying for grants to assist with renovation works of the Sanctuary site.

In the year we also expanded our veterinary care support to incorporate the London Ambulance service as well as working closely with three London hospitals who had inpatients with dogs at home or in attendance.

We supported the Metropolitan Police Forces status Dogs Unit with animal welfare cases, prisoners property, suicide, sudden death with dogs of owners that came into our care.

In addition to this we also supported dogs that would have been seized under the dangerous dog act with vulnerable or poverty affected owners.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The total incoming resources during the year ended 31st July 2022 amounted to £342,447 (2021: £260,520). Expenditure amounted to £342,474 (2021: £289,346). The overall result is a deficit of £27 (2021: deficit of £28,826) leaving retained funds of £153,283 (2021: £153,310).

Reserves policy

The charity has a policy to keep reserves as a minimum of three months operating costs to a maximum of six months.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 July 2022

FUTURE PLANS

Looking ahead we look to build upon the work undertaken at the Sanctuary and support more vulnerable clients with their dogs.

To assist this work, we are actively seeking to bring in new Trustees to support the charity.

The Sanctuary continues to require updating and we look to continue this work and seek to modernise the kennels further.

Our aim is to always support to our maximum capability, vulnerable clients with pet dogs and as such we are working hard to ensure that we have sufficient financial support from grants and other fundraising opportunities.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Dogs On The Streets Ltd

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Dogs On The Streets Ltd ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 July 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
