Structure, Governance and Management

PAWS is a registered Charity and constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) with registration number 1182781.

PAWS was established as a Charity on 1[st] April 2019 and so this is the Charity’s first Annual Return.

PAWS operates under the terms of the Governing Constitution dated (last amended) 29[th] March 2019.

The Charity must be administrated by at least 3 trustees and currently there are 4 trustees each appointed for 2 years.

Apart from the first Charity trustees, every appointed trustee is appointed for a term of at least 2 years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the Charity trustees.

In selecting individuals, the Charity has regard to the skills, knowledge and experience for the effective administration of the CIO.

The trustees usually meet every 8 weeks and decisions are made with a majority vote with the person who chairs the meeting having a second or casting vote. A quorum of 2 Charity trustees is required to make decisions.

The Charity trustees keep minutes of all meetings which will contain the names of the trustees present and the decisions made at the meetings.

Objectives and Activities

PAWS operate for the benefit of the public to relieve the suffering of animals in need of care and attention.

PAWS raise money to help small local animal rescues that have no other means of raising funds other than public support.

We welcome these rescues to request funding when facing financial difficulties but we also voluntary donate.

We also help local pet owners that find themselves in financial crisis facing large veterinary care bills.

This helps relieve the suffering of animals in need of care and attention by both providing grants to rescues for the treatment and care of animals and also providing grants to individual pet owners who would be unable to afford the veterinary services their pet requires.

The Charity also helps less fortunate members of the community by providing affordable items

Achievements and Performance

The Charity has strengthened since moving premises by not only increasing the shop’s profits but opening up new areas for the Charity to raise funds. The Charity held its first gala day which was a huge success. It was seen as a good family event and was attended by a number of the local rescues that the Charity supports and was a good promotional opportunity for the Charity.

The new shop has brought in a vast increase in the number of items donated by the public and so has increased the sales within the shop.

It has brought in a number of new volunteers that have gone on to offer services to achieve new fundraising. For example, creating the opportunity for online sales and promotion of the work and income raised by the Charity’s Facebook page.

The Charity continues to maintain its good Relationship with a number of local rescues being a reliable source of assistance in critical times but also benefiting the Charity by promoting our work and purpose via their own social media network and supporters this gives an increase in the amount of donated goods the Charity receives and items and services donated to use as such as raffle prizes

During the financial period covered the Charity donated £26,000 to animal rescues we made donations every eight weeks working out the profits within the eight-week period and donating always at least 90% 100% when possible at times it has been decided to hold some back for emergencies

Financial Review and Risk Assessment

The Charity trustees comply with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 with regard to the keeping of accounting records, to the preparation of scrutiny of statements of account, and to the preparation of annual reports and returns.

The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and have reviewed these risks and established a plan to manage these risks.

The main financial risk to the Charity is temporary closure or reduced donations impacting on sales and create a situation whereby outgoings exceed income.

To manage this risk the trustees decided to hold a figure in the region of £8000 reserves in the bank at the end of the period. This precise figure was £8154.06.

The trustees decided that this was a reasonable amount needed to be held in reserve to cover 3 to 6 months operational costs and help meet any unforeseen expenditure that may occur.

This helps manage the risk of insolvency and ensure the Charity could survive and continue to provide donations to the many rescues and individuals that we help.

The main outgoings for the Charity revolve mainly around the shop’s rent and utilities which is approximately £1300 per month. During the financial year necessary maintenance work has needed to be carried out which was over and above what is provided by the Landlord.

This is mainly low-level maintenance or improvements to the property or fixtures and fittings for our benefit.

Supplies for the shop such as pricing tickets has amounted to approximately £170 for the period.

Two expensive but necessary purchases were a dehumidifier for the cellar and sanitising products to make the premises COVID-19 safe. These were £119 and £100 respectively and were both authorised by the Trustees in compliance with our rules.

The Charity has donated £26,000 during the period to a vast array of rescues including a number of dog rescues, feral cats, horse, poultry, hedgehogs, hamsters, reptiles, rabbits and wild birds.

Some of these are small homes on rescues run by people passionate about the breeds they open their hearts and homes to taking to care for and rehabilitate the animals they adore.

These people dedicate their time and own money to provide shelter, food and medical treatment to these suffering wild animals and can be very costly. These recipients are very appreciative of the financial assistance that we are able to give.
