1.19||London Retired Police Dogs Trust launched
in November 2019 with ongoing fundraising
through public events as a priority and then
affected by the worldwide Covid pandemic
we were forced to re-evaluate and find
other ways of fundraising.
Online Shop and Merchandise
We run a successful online shop within our
website www.lrpd.uk
where we sell
merchandise directly via the shop and also
through third party volunteers attending
public facing fundraising events.
Yearly LRPD Calendar
Our yearly Calendar is produced and paid
for by Metfriendly, supporters of LRPD, with
all profits from sales going direct to the
fund.
Give as You Earn Initiative
With the assistance of the Charities Aid
Foundation we successfully run a give as
you earn scheme within the Metropolitan
Police Service where employees can sign
up to contribute a monthly donation direct
from source to LRPD.
Ongoing Volunteer Supporter Fundraising
Activities
Throughout the year supporters have
undertaken a variety of events with| |||fundraising on behalf of LRPD being the
driving force, we have had volunteers run
the London Marathon, Swim the
Serpentine, run the London Landmarks
Half Marathon, attend Open Days, Fetes,
Fairs, Cake Sales, and hold raffles to name
a few. We also held a charity fundraising
ball in September 2024.

achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|Since the launch of London Retired Police
Dogs Trust and registration as a registered
charity LRPD have continued to grow.
LRPD has overcome obstacles and
developed new and innovative ways to be
able to continue to fundraise.
We have made awards of over £260,000
since our launch in direct response to
applications received for assistance with
regards to the welfare of retired police dogs
up to 30/06/2025. (In this accounting
period our award settlements totalled
£110,787). The number of applications is
increasing due to cost of living and up to
30/06/2025 we have assisted with 288
separate applications for support.
Since launch, the London Retired Police
Dogs Trust has grown to include retired
City Of London Police Dogs and retired
London Fire Brigade dogs.
LRPD has also secured a working
partnership with Goddards Veterinary
Group who are able to offer a discount on
fees relating to retired police dogs
treatment.|| |---|---|---|---| ## Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |

Para 1.41|
As a charity our biggest aim is to meet the
needs of the retired police dogs of London
requiring help and assistance financially to
enable them to live their retirement in the
best welfare position. We have been able
to meet the needs of every application
received thanks to ongoing fundraising on
behalf of London Retired Police Dogs
Trust.| |---|---|---| |Performance of fundraising

our Natwest and Paypal accounts at

The trustees acknowledge there is an
excess of expenditure over income of
£16,221 in the last accounting period but
the charity still had bank balances of over
£140,000 at 30 June 2025. There was a
significant increase in Application Awards
from £63278 to £110,787 but the charity
has also increased its revenue stream via
fundraising/donations/give as you earn/sale
of merchandise. The trustees contribute
the rise in applications to the cost-of-living
crisis and people being more aware of the
existence of London Retired Police Dogs
Trust. The trustees have been able to
assess each claim on an individual basis
and due to the strength of the asset base
the trustees have again been able to
approve successful applications at 100% of
the claim amount. They will continue to
monitor the financial strength of the charity
during the current and future accounting
periods.| |Statement explaining the
