**Commission on public benefit)**|Annie's trust strives to provide assistance to the poorest public shelters
within Romania, currently focusing on Adjud Vrancea in the northeast.
With a small team of trusted unpaid Romanian volunteers, we have been
able to increase the quality of life, living conditions, nutrition, and medical
treatment for the dogs. By providing essential flea and tick treatment we
have eased the suffering caused by deadly mosquito and tick related
diseases like heartworm, babesia and anaplasma as well as controlling
the serious skin condition demodex, which is rife.
We fund and provide sleep boxes and kennels for the dogs living outside
in arctic conditions to provide a safe, warm, and dry place to sleep.
Puppies are vaccinated and provided with regular food and milk. While
older and sick dogs receive more nutritious food to improve their condition
and recovery.
Dogs within Romanian public shelters receive extraordinarily little medical
care when they get sick or injured. There is no medical care for the dogs
on the street who are left to suffer and die from common accidents,
brutality, or disease. We provide lifesaving medical treatment to all dogs in
need, that would otherwise suffer without our intervention.
We operate a stray feeding programme funding food for abandoned dogs.
We believe that the most sustainable way of controlling the numbers of
dogs on the streets and in the shelters is to promote spay and neuter
campaigns throughout the country. We currently fund year-round
sterilisation programs for the public shelter dogs, strays and to owners
with limited income for their pets. We educate to encourage better welfare
for their animals.
Annie’s Trust do not rehome dogs directly to the public, but instead we
liaise with trusted rescues and sanctuaries in the UK and Western Europe
who find homes for the dogs within their existing network. This ensures a
responsible approach to safely rehoming dogs.| |---|---| ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** March **2012** **TAR** 3 You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers. Section D Achievements and performance March **2012** **TAR** 4 ## Section D Achievements and performance We have remained consistent to our target of sterilising over 500 dogs **Summary of the main** again this year, despite the rise in costs in Romania for taxes and **achievements of the charity** medical supplies. We work with suppliers to achieve an efficient cost **during the year** control to ensure each donations goes as far as possible. We started fundraising and construction of a purpose-built quarantine shed, with completion due in 2026. This has been called the Big Bark Build. The purpose of this shed is to protect up to 50 dogs that are vulnerable or have ongoing health issues. This will also provide exercise facilities to improve their quality of life and wellbeing. Once again, this year we opted to take the opportunity to purchase a year’s supply of parasite treatment for the dogs. This offered a significant saving against ordering as required and ensured the dogs were adequately protected throughout the year. This improves the dog’s quality of life as simple things like ticks, fleas and worms can lead to profoundly serious conditions for the dogs in these dirty public shelters in Romania. The effects of this can be fatal, and cases of skin conditions alone can cost more than £1,000 per dog in the clinic for treatment. The year has been difficult for fundraising due to the ongoing cost-ofliving crisis in the UK directly impacting supporters' ability to donate. On top of this, tax in Romania has increased from 9% to 21% and therefore spend has increased significantly. Our initiatives of a monthly direct debit donation and weekly lottery continue to help support our fundraising needs. We remain steadfast in our commitment to the dogs of Adjud, aiming to reduce stray numbers, and improving the quality of life for those left behind. ## **Section E Financial review** March **2012** **TAR** 5 £50,000 **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** Due to the impact on the costs increasing, we have increased our reserve from two to four months average expenditure. This is to protect the charity, and its responsibility to the animals and its donors. **Details of any funds materially in deficit** Annie’s Trust has no debts. All bills and invoices are paid as received. ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: The charities principal source of funds are general donations from supporters. This is driven primarily by online fundraising via Facebook - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. ## **Section F Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** D Bowman **Signature(s)** SA Beaton Diane Bowman **Full name(s)** Scott Beaton **Position (eg Secretary, Chair,** Treasurer Trustee **etc) Date** 10/12/2025 March **2012** **TAR** 6 **Charity Name No (if any) Annie's Trust 1186172** ## **Receipts and payments accounts** ## **CC16a** **For the period** Period start date Period end date **To from** 4/1/2024 3/31/2025 ## **Section A Receipts and payments** **Unrestricted Restricted Endowment funds funds funds** **Total funds Last year** |**Section A Receipts and payments**
