## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
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 2022.
The Trustees confirm that the year-end report and financial statements of the Wallington Animal Rescue charity comply with:
- The current statutory requirement
- The requirements of the governing document
- The provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP)
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 through mass appeals or generalized campaigns via phone, email, or direct mail. Additionally, the Charity does not subcontract any fundraising activities to third parties and does not engage in general calls for support. Instead, funds are raised through private donations and events. This year, the Charity organized a fundraising event to raise awareness and gather funds. Notably, the Charity did not receive any complaints about fundraising activities during the year.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
## **Achievements and performance**
Again, 2022 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 3,200 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 2021. In 2022, the charity rescued just over 350 animals, both wildlife and domestic, and rehomed 150 animals. Additionally, the charity has seen more requests for assistance from neighboring boroughs, further straining resources.
The charity has faced ongoing fundraising limitations due to the continued impact of the Covid crisis and the expanding cost-of-living crisis. Despite these challenges, the charity continues to see a regular income through direct debits, Facebook giving, Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), Benevity, and other local organizations and businesses. The charity's income from direct debits remains stable. Going into 2023, the charity finds itself in a good financial position with a strong cash reserve, enabling it 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 recognizable. It has also continued to forge strong links and effective working practices with other local rescue organizations, both large and small, as well as other rescue organizations throughout the country.
The charity organised a few fundraising events to raise awareness and gather funds, contributing to its successful financial standing.
## **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 further develop the 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.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
## **Going concern**
The Trustees have a responsibility to assess whether there are any significant uncertainties regarding the Charity's ability to continue operating for at least 12 months from the date the accounts are authorized for issue (until at least December 2023). The Trustees are confident that the Charity's operations remain viable.
## **Financial review**
The accounts have been prepared under the accruals basis.
During the period, the total income of the Charity was £40,287 (2021: £40,270). Total expenditure was £39,380 (2021: £26,219).
The Charity’s activities are mainly financed by donations raised through voluntary income. During the period £40,287 (2021: £27,712) was raised. During the year, no additional funds were received (2021: £12,558).
As a result, as at 31st December 2022, the Charity’s total funds were £52,762 (2021: £51,855), 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 £19,690 (2021: £13,109) in reserves. The current level of reserves of £52,762 (2020: £51,855).
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.
## **Trustees**
The Charity does not employ any staff. The trustees serving during the period and since the periodend are as follows:
- Colin Minns
- Anthony Garton
- Jacqueline Quail
All of the trustees were appointed by the Board of Trustees at the initial meeting of the Charity in on 17th September 2019, and are subject to removal by the Board of Trustees. As the Charity continues to operate, the Board will continue to review the skills and experience of trustees with a view to determining whether the appointment of additional trustees is warranted. No new trustees were appointed during the year.
