VSPCA-UK Annual Report 2025
15 April 2026
Summary of the activities in the past year
This report covers the time period of our latest fiscal year from 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025.
Activities in the past fiscal year
In 2025, we managed to transition the board of trustees to a new generation and reinvigorated our sister organisation in St Vincent and the Grenadines. Activities to support animals, such as spay and neuter clinics for locals and educational efforts in local schools, have picked up again, and as a result, the impact of the VSPCA-UK has increased significantly after two dormant years. As a result of fundraising activities in St Vincent and the Grenadines, we have collected total donations of £12,000 after fees, some £8,000 less than in the previous year.
In terms of activities, the charity donated a total of £14,350 throughout the year, also about £8,000 less than in 2024. As tourism recovers in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, more donations were received from local tourists. Nevertheless, the local charities in St. Vincent remain chronically short of funds, and we are grateful to the benefactors in the UK who donate through the VSPCA-UK.
Changes in board composition
There are two new board members at the VSPCA-UK in addition to the existing board members. Both Jhanice Nelson, who is Director of Local Outreach at VSPCA in St Vincent, and Denise Mansell, who is the Treasurer of the VSPCA, are newly elected as board members, while Alan Briefel has left the board.
Outlook 2026
After renewing the board, we expect the VSPCA to return to its old fundraising activities by soliciting donations through the webpage and Facebook presence of the foundation, as well as by approaching tourists visiting St Vincent and the Grenadines.
Financial Statements
The following statements cover the reporting period of the VSPCA-UK for fiscal year 2025.
Income Statement:
Compared to 2024, the fundraising success was £8,286 lower with a total of £15,276.68 in donations received. This is despite a complete absence of fundraising activities due to a lack of volunteers and time. Yet, the traditional benefactors of our organisation have once again come forward with enormous generosity. To support the ongoing medical care for dogs and cats in the Caribbean, the VSPCA-UK donated a total of £14,350 to run spay and neuter clinics in St Vincent & the Grenadines and buy medication for animals as well as food for sheltered dogs.
Overall, the board of the VSPCA-UK is satisfied with the reporting of the use of funds by the VSPCA in St. Vincent and the Grenadines and confirms that all funds were used in accordance with the charter of the VSPCA-UK throughout 2025.
As per the end of 2025, total assets of the VSPCA-UK were £1,309.51, out of which £48 are held in our bank account with Metro Bank (and thus fully insured up to £85,000.00 by the UK’s Financial Services Compensation Scheme), and £1,261 is held in our PayPal account and uninsured in case of a default of PayPal.
The VSPCA-UK has no liabilities or debt, and all services by the board members have been provided pro bono. The VSPCA-UK did not incur any costs except bank fees for the transfer of money to St Vincent and the Grenadines and Paypal administration fees.
