TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

The Foundation was registered as a charity with the Charity Commission on 17th September 2019.

The Trustees present their end-of-period report, together with the financial statements of Wallington Animal Rescue for the year ended 31 December 2021.

The Trustees confirm that the year-end report and financial statements of the Wallington Animal Rescue charity comply with:

The above guidances are specifically applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard practiced within the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015).

1. OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Charitable objectives

Wallington Animal Rescue is a non-profit voluntary charity dedicated to the rescuing of domestic animals based in South London. The rescue continuously strives to reduce the population of homeless or unwanted animals by providing support and advice for animal welfare, rescuing, fostering and rehoming animals and promoting spay/neutering awareness programmes within our local community.

Fundraising note

The Charity does not solicit funds by means of any mass appeals or generalised campaigns by phone, email, or direct mail. The Charity also does not sub-contract any fundraising activities to a third party and does not otherwise fundraise via a general call for support. Funds are instead raised via private donations and events held. The Charity did not receive any complaints about fundraising activity during the year.

Achievements and performance

Again 2021 has proved to be just as challenging for the charity as the previous year. The charity witnessed an increased number of calls for assistance, both wildlife and domestic. The charity received approximately 2600 calls for assistance from both residents of the borough it operates in and from across London and the Southeast. This was an increase of 600 calls from the previous year 2020. In 2021 the charity rescued just over 300 animals, both wildlife and domestic. The charity also rehomed 120 animals.

The charity has been limited when it comes to fundraising opportunities again due to the ongoing Covid crisis.

The charity continues to see a regular income through direct debits, Facebook giving, Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), Benevity and other local organisations and businesses. The charities income from direct debits remains stable. Going into 2022 the charity finds itself in a good financial position and with a strong cash reserve which will enable the charity to continue its normal operations.

The charity has continued to grow its public image within the local community and has now become firmly established and recognisable. The charity has also continued to forge strong links and effective working practices with other local rescue organisations, both large and small, as well as other rescue organisations throughout the country.

The charities annual fundraiser in September was a success raising just under £8000.00. This enabled the charity to achieve one of its previous objectives from 2020 of securing, equipping and fully funding a second rescue vehicle staffed by an experienced wildlife rescuer on a voluntary basis. This has had the effect of spreading the workload amongst the existing charities staff and allowing the charity to respond effectively to more calls for assistance from the public.

Plans for the future

The charity has set up what it considers to be an effective and sustainable operating model and will again continue to enhance and improve this throughout 2022.

Towards the end of 2022 and into 2023 the charity will look to restart its public education project with regards to responsible animal ownership, Covid restrictions dependent.

The charity is also looking to start an animal therapy programme aimed at people with various disabilities and/or medical needs. This will be achieved by working closely with other organisations already established in this particular sector.

The charity intends to continue to enhance its public presence in the local community as well as throughout the Southeast and nationally.

The charity is also looking into several specific training courses for its team both online and on a practical basis. The goal being to enhance the team’s knowledge and training with regards to the best way to provide effective animal welfare and care.

Going concern

The Trustees have a duty to consider whether there are material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the date that the accounts are authorized for issue (until at least December 2021).

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, income generated through adoption fees and donations has remained constant allowing the charity to continue it’s operations and further increase it’s ability to support more rescues.

As a result, the Trustees are confident that the Charity’s operation remain viable.

Financial review

The accounts have been prepared under the accruals basis.

During the period, the total income of the Charity was £40,270 (2020: £53,260). Total expenditure was £26,219 (2020: £32,062).

The Charity’s activities are mainly financed by donations raised through voluntary income. During the period £27,712 (2020: £48,173) was raised. During the year, additional funds were received of £12,558 (2020: £6,887).

As a result, as at 31st December 2021, the Charity’s total funds were £40,270 (2020: £53,260), all of which were unrestricted.

The Trustees identify 6 months’ operating costs as the appropriate level of reserves in their reserves policy and in the context of the Trustees’ plans for the future activities of the Charity. This would mean holding £13,109 (2020: £15,941) in reserves. The current level of reserves of £51,854 (2020: £37,230).

The Charity’s financial risks relate to risks of damage or injury to third parties or to their premises during the staging of fundraising events. These risks are covered by the Charity’s annual insurance cover.

Structure, governance and management

The Charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and is governed by its Constitution.

No new trustees were appointed during the year.
