## **St Francis Dogs Home** 

## Trustees' Report (continued) 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## _**Nature of governing document**_ 

The Charity operates as Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) in accordance with our constitution and our charitable objectives. The overall responsibility for the Charity and decision making is undertaken by the Board of Trustees. The Trustees have kept, and will continue to keep, the structure under review, as required by good practice and Charity Commission guidance. 

The old Charity, St Francis Home for Animals, is now dormant and St Francis Dogs Home took over the assets and all other aspects of work from April 2021. 

## _**Recruitment and appointment of trustees**_ 

Trustees are recruited through a mixture of networking and advertising. All potential new Trustees are asked to submit a CV and other details. They are interviewed by the board who assess their suitability against a role description and any skills identified as needed on the board. We are actively looking for additional trustees who can help us with our ambitious and exciting plans. 

## _**Induction and training of trustees**_ 

All Trustees are given the Charity Commission’s comprehensive document called ‘The Essential Trustee’. We impress on them to read this fully before they decide to take on the role. We discuss the role of Trustee at length. Our Trustees all subscribe to our Code of Conduct for Trustees. During the year Trustees have learned about other aspects of Trusteeship and the Charity Commission’s requirements and guidance. 

## _**Arrangements for setting key management personnel remuneration**_ 

Key management personnel currently comprise the Trustees. No Trustee is paid remuneration. Staff and contract salaries are set in relation to market salaries in the area and affordability after discussion and by decision of the Board of Trustees. 

Trustees have engaged the services of a veterinary nurse, professional dog behaviourist and a professional dog trainer who provide our fostering service on a contract basis.

## **St Francis Dogs Home** 

## Trustees' Report (continued) 

## _**Organisational structure**_ 

The Charity has a centre at Porth, Newquay. Most of the buildings on that site are beyond economic repair and offer poor welfare to the dogs we exist to care for. We therefore decided, in early 2020, to close the site temporarily. 

We are part-way through a project that will see these buildings demolished and replaced by modern buildings, with kennels offering high standards of dog welfare, supported by ancillary buildings. Our plan was submitted to Cornwall Council and approved in December 2023. This plan involves demolishing all existing buildings except the training hall and replacing with a new block of 10 kennels with runs, 2 isolation kennels and an administration building including reception area, offices and staff facilities. 

Over the course of this year our dog fostering service has continued to give immediate help for relinquished dogs. Our dog fostering is underpinned by behaviourist support, veterinary assistance and other resources provided by the Charity to develop the dogs to become pets that can enjoy and be enjoyed in domestic homes. We will focus on professional behavioural support for dogs and owners and, in cases where it is appropriate, will give support to owners who wish to retain their dogs rather than relinquish them. We have recruited 23 foster carers who take in and care for our dogs until they can be rehomed permanently. The foster team have successfully rehomed 92 dogs in the past year with the numbers growing each month. 

The Trustees outsource our payroll and bookkeeping to independent local businesses. Trustees also engage specialist advice, where needed, in line with Charity Commission guidance. 

## _**Major risks and management of those risks**_ 

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to manage these risks. Any risks faced are discussed at Trustees’ meetings. When it is considered necessary, professional advice is taken to assess and manage such risks as may require specialist attention and advice.

## **St Francis Dogs Home** 

## Trustees' Report (continued) 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## _**Objects and aims**_ 

The object of the Charity is to provide shelter and care for stray, abandoned and other unwanted dogs; to return them to their owners where possible; to care for and rehabilitate the others before finding them suitable, and loving new permanent homes. In addition to seek to instil responsible dog ownership among the community through the example of good animal welfare practice and education. The Charity’s aim is to ensure that they have appropriate care, to rehabilitate them and then to place them in suitable new homes where they will be wanted, loved and cared for again. 

We have made a point of keeping in contact with our supporters, both through our vibrant and busy Facebook page, and through updates on our website. We have also continued to help dog owners who needed our advice about their dogs and their care and welfare. 

## _**Public benefit**_ 

When making relevant decisions, particularly on developments to the Charity’s activities, the Trustees have taken account of the requirements for charities on public benefit.The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. 

## **Financial review** 

At the end of this period unrestricted reserves stood at £1,280,127 (2023: £1,268,173) which is considered an adequate level to cover running costs for the foreseeable future and is similar to the previous year. The reserves include an investment portfolio valued at £729,232 (2023: £787,478) which is held to produce income and aid in future development. The investment portfolio made unrealised losses of £35,562 (2023: £149,150) and realised losses on disposals of £4,362 (2023: £3,206) during the year reflecting the low/medium risk investment mandate with the objective of producing an income. The unrealised loss reflects the fall in the value of high yield assets as interest rates increased. 

The overall surplus for the year was £11,954 (2023: deficit £177,845). This is comprised of operating expenses totalling £114,669 and investment losses of £39,923 partially offset by income generated from the investment portfolio dividends, legacies, and donations of £166,546. 

## _**Policy on reserves**_ 

The Trustees consider it is prudent to hold the Charity’s reserves against its running costs and consider that it would be reckless to deliberately deplete resources to less than one year’s trading funds. This policy also recognises that a percentage of these reserves must be held available for maintenance and renewal of fixed assets. This policy is reviewed annually by the Board of Trustees. 

The Reserves Policy takes into full account the amount and nature of the income required to fulfil the Charity’s objectives. The income from rehoming, fundraising and investments cover substantially less then the costs of running the Charity, some money does come from legacies but by their nature the amount is variable. The income is affected by a number of factors including economic factors and donations, rehoming and investment returns can suffer. 

The Trustees also ensure the Charity maintains some readily accessible cash reserves to cover the running costs of the Charity. These reserves are monitored at Trustee Board meetings.

## Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of St Francis Dogs Home 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the period ended 31 March 2024 which are set out on pages 9 to 20. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of St Francis Dogs Home you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the St Francis Dogs Home'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 giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of St Francis Dogs Home as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting 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.

## **St Francis Dogs Home** 

## Notes to the Financial Statements 

## Year Ended 31 March 2024 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Statement of compliance** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Basis of preparation** 

St Francis Dogs Home meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. 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 to these accounts. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity. 

## **Income and endowments** 

Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## _**Donations and legacies**_ 

Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured. 

## _**Deferred income**_ 

Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when: 

- The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or - The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement. 

The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included. 

## _**Investment income**_ 

Income from investments is recognised in the year in which it is receivable. 

Page 11 



## **St Francis Dogs Home** 

## Notes to the Financial Statements 

## Year Ended 31 March 2024 (continued) 

## **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. 

## _**Raising funds**_ 

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. 

## _**Charitable activities**_ 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 

## **Intangible assets** 

Intangible assets are stated in the Balance Sheet at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. They are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Individual fixed assets costing £200 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 

## **Amortisation** 

Amortisation is provided on intangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

**Asset class** Website costs 

**Amortisation method and rate** 10% straight line basis 

Page 12 



## **St Francis Dogs Home** 

## Notes to the Financial Statements 

## Year Ended 31 March 2024 (continued) 

## **Depreciation** 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets, other than land and properties under construction, so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

**Asset class Depreciation method and rate** Land and buildings 10% straight line basis Furniture and equipment 10% straight line basis Computer equipment 33% straight line basis 

## **Fixed asset investments** 

Fixed asset investments, other than programme related investments, are included at market value at the balance sheet date. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period of disposal. 

Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities based on the market value at the year end. 

## **Fund structure** 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
