Objectives and Activities
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | We rescue, rehabilitate and rehome boxer dogs and boxer crosses who are in need of care. We have a no destruction policy and never put a healthy dog to sleep. Full assessment is completed whilst the dogs are in our care to ensure that when rehomed they can be matched to the right family. We will then offer life time advice, support, and rescue back up to the dogs which we have rehomed. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
Throughout the period 1 November 2019 to 31 October 2020 we have rehomed approximately 20 boxer dogs and boxer crosses through our charity. These dogs have been signed over into our care through hand ins from previous owners and also from local pounds where the dogs have been strays and have served their 7 days so would have been euthanized if we had not rescued them. We have also provided support and information for people who have adopted dogs from us and also to the general public. |
| Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit |
Para 1.18 | As a rescue we pride ourselves on taking into account the needs of the dogs who are within our care and also the need of our supporters including foster homes and adopters. We will continue to offer the back up and support for the duration of the dog’s lives that we support. |

Para 1.20 | Throughout the period 1 November 2019 to 31 October 2020 we have rehomed approximately 20 boxer dogs and boxer crosses through our charity. These dogs have been signed over into our care through hand ins from previous owners and also from local pounds where the dogs have been strays and have served their 7 days so would have been euthanized if we had not rescued them. We have also provided support and information for people who have adopted dogs from us and also to the general public. In March 2020 the global pandemic meant that for the majority of the year we were in various stages of lockdown. This meant that we were unable to fundraise in the conventional ways face-to-face and also limited us being able to rehome dogs. During this period, we focused on the future for the rescue and got our website redesigned and purchased a new vehicle to enable us to continue our work more efficiently once restrictions are lifted. Despite challenges due to lack of fundraising opportunities we continue to be in a good position financially and have generous supporters of the charity. |

| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | We aim to hold 12 weeks’ expenditure cash in the bank account as unrestricted reserves. At the end of the financial year ending 31 October 2021 we were considerably under this due to the impact on fundraising. However, with lockdown restrictions our expenditure has currently reduced therefore this is not an area of concern. Once we are able to we will rebuild our reserves level through fundraising events. |
