## **Chair’s Report** 

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025 

Dear Supporters 

I am delighted to present the annual report for DogsnHomes Rescue for the year ended 30th June 2025. This has been another year of significant progress and impact, made possible by the dedication of our volunteers, partners, and the support of our wider community. 

## **Rehoming Success** 

This year, **162 dogs** found loving homes, marking another strong year for the charity. While the majority of our dogs continue to come from Portugal, we have also seen a **notable increase in the number of dogs rehomed from within the UK** . In fact, we rehomed **more UK dogs this year than in any previous year** , reflecting our ongoing commitment to helping dogs in need wherever they are based. 

As always, every dog rehomed represents a life transformed, and we remain deeply grateful to our trusted partners in both Portugal and the UK who work alongside us to achieve this. 

## **Aid to Ukraine** 

Since the war in Ukraine began in February 2022, DogsnHomes Rescue has continued to support companion animals affected by the conflict. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters and the tireless work of our volunteers, our total aid shipments have now reached **266,500kg** of food and essential supplies. This ongoing effort ensures that dogs and cats caught in the crisis continue to receive vital care. 

## **Improving Our Operational Capability** 

A major development this year was the **purchase of an additional charity vehicle** , which has now successfully achieved **Type 2 transport authorisation** . This significant investment allows us to undertake more of our own animal transport directly, giving us greater control over welfare standards and helping us reduce external transport costs in the long term. It represents an important step forward in strengthening the resilience and sustainability of our operations. 

## **Community & Events** 

Our community events programme continues to flourish, driven by the passion and creativity of our volunteers. These events not only raise vital funds but also help bring together adopters, supporters, and dog lovers across our region. We remain 

1 



deeply grateful to everyone who gives up their time to organise, host, or attend these gatherings. 

We also continue to benefit enormously from the support of our Patron, **Tim Peake** , whose advocacy helps raise the profile of our work. 

## **Looking Ahead** 

Our mission remains steadfast: to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs in need, and to support responsible animal welfare both locally and internationally. Over the coming year, we will continue to: 

- rescue and rehome dogs from both Portugal and the UK; 

- support neutering programmes to tackle the root causes of canine overpopulation; 

- deliver further aid to animals affected by the war in Ukraine; and 

- build on our operational improvements, including wider use of our Type 2– registered transport vehicle. 

Every success we achieve is thanks to you - our adopters, donors, volunteers, partners, and supporters. Your commitment enables us to change lives every single day. 

Thank you for being part of the DogsnHomes Rescue journey. 

Warm regards, 

## **Jane Stevenson**

Dogs are placed into carefully assessed foster homes and adopted into suitable permanent homes following an application, home-check and matching process. 

In addition to rehoming activity, DogsnHomes Rescue continued to provide significant aid to animals affected by the ongoing war in Ukraine. This included the shipment and distribution of food and essential supplies in partnership with trusted local volunteers and organisations.

The notes on pages 10 to 13 form part of these accounts 

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2025** 

## **1   Accounting policies** 

## **(a)   Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern** 

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16th July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the trust’s ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **(b)   Funds structure** 

Restricted income funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or trust deed. 

Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose. 

## **(c)   Income recognition** 

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 income receivable can be measured reliably. 

Donations are recognised when they are received or have been communicated in writing with notification of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that the donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the 

10 



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 those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. 

## **(d)   Expenditure recognition** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses, including support costs and governance costs, are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings in the statement of financial activities. 

## **(e)   Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

All assets valued over £100 are capitalised and valued at historical cost. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates estimated to write off the cost or revalued amounts, less estimated residual value, of each asset over its expected useful life on a reducing balance basis. 

Motor vehicle 25% Plant and equipment 25% 

## **(f)   Related party transactions and trustees’ expenses and remuneration** 

The trustees all give freely of their time and expertise without any form of remuneration or other benefit in cash or kind. There were no loans or payments to the trustees during the year.

The notes on pages 10 to 13 form part of these accounts 

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2025** 

## **1   Accounting policies** 

## **(a)   Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern** 

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16th July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the trust’s ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **(b)   Funds structure** 

Restricted income funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or trust deed. 

Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose. 

## **(c)   Income recognition** 

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 income receivable can be measured reliably. 

Donations are recognised when they are received or have been communicated in writing with notification of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that the donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the 

10 



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 those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. 

## **(d)   Expenditure recognition** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses, including support costs and governance costs, are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings in the statement of financial activities. 

## **(e)   Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

All assets valued over £100 are capitalised and valued at historical cost. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates estimated to write off the cost or revalued amounts, less estimated residual value, of each asset over its expected useful life on a reducing balance basis. 

Motor vehicle 25% Plant and equipment 25% 

## **(f)   Related party transactions and trustees’ expenses and remuneration** 

The trustees all give freely of their time and expertise without any form of remuneration or other benefit in cash or kind. There were no loans or payments to the trustees during the year.

## **Independent examiner's report on the accounts** 

**Section A                        Independent Examiner’s Report Report to the trustees** DOGSNHOMES RESCUE **On accounts for the year** 30[th ] June 2025 **Charity no** 1183775 **ended (if any) Set out on pages** 7 - 13 I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended **30/06/2025** . 

**Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

**Independent examiner's statement** I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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. 

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.
