Structure How it is managed How it recruits trustees
(2)Eligibility for trusteeship
(a)Every charity trustee must be a natural person.
(b)No individual may be appointed as a charity trustee of the CIO:
if he or she is under the age of 16 years; or
if he or she would automatically cease to hold office under the provisions of clause [12(1)(e)].
(c)No one is entitled to act as a charity trustee whether on appointment or on any reappointment until he or she has expressly acknowledged, in whatever way the charity trustees decide, his or her acceptance of the office of charity trustee.
[(d)At least one of the trustees of the CIO must be 18 years of age or over. If there is no trustee aged at least 18 years, the remaining trustees may only act to call a meeting of the charity trustees, or appoint a new charity trustee.]
(3)Number of charity trustees
(a)There must be at least [three] charity trustees. If the number falls below this minimum, the remaining trustee or trustees may act only to call a meeting of the charity trustees, or appoint a new charity trustee.

Any person retiring as a charity trustee is eligible for reappointment.
No decision shall be taken at a meeting unless a quorum is present at the time when the decision is taken. The quorum is two charity trustees, or the number nearest to one third of the total number of charity trustees, whichever is greater, or such larger number as the charity trustees may decide from time to time. A charity trustee shall not be counted in the quorum present when any decision is made about a matter upon which he or she is not entitled to vote.
The members of the CIO shall be its charity trustees for the time being. The only persons eligible to be members of the CIO are its charity trustees. Membership of the CIO cannot be transferred to anyone else.

Activities and objectives in the year
- achievements and performance
In the period 01/04/2022 to 31/03/2023 , we have rehomed 9 dogs from Greece, and one cat, on a transport cost recovery basis.
We have a charity PetTrac account to register the microchips in the UK as soon as the dogs arrive. Our adopted dogs have dual registration to the new adopter and to the Charity.
We are registered with the Government GATEWAY IPAFFS and the EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification).
2 of our Trustees will retire in the next reporting period and we hope that they will be reelected. We have secured one more Trustee that will come on board in the next financial period.
Financial review
We operated on a cost recovery basis, that is, we aimed to recover as much as possible of the transport, import and medical costs associated with each rescue animal, through a voluntary adoption fee. Increased transport costs mean that we are unbale to recover all of the costs via the adoption fee. Payments are handled by the treasurer, with oversight by the chair. Occasionally, payments are made by the chair after discussion and approval of the treasurer. We have obtained invoices for our payments to the transporter. We have fundraised through informal, donation-based dog sitting for friends/neighbours; we have received the occasional spontaneous donation. The costs of fostering while looking for a suitable adopter are higher this year due to slower adoptions (post-COVID there is a flood of rescues) but these have been covered by volunteering. All financial transactions are through a dedicated Charity Bank account; donations are deposited directly there. Our income in the reporting period has been £5925 and the expenses have been £6075 leaving us with a small deficit which we have covered in the next financial period.
