## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

FAR has yet to fully get started on its objectives but in 2022 responded to 110 calls for advice relating to sick and injured strays and wildlife. Its team of trustees are experienced hands-on animal welfare experts so understand the complexities of the rescue environment so can give knowledgeable and safe advice to callers. 

The trustees have reviewed the outcomes and achievements of our objectives and activities for the year, to ensure they remain focused on our charitable aims and continue to deliver benefits to the public. We have complied with the duty under the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Commission. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RESERVES POLICY** 

The charity has unrestricted reserves of £1,104 and aims to develop its supporter base and animal welfare work during the coming years to become a fully active animal rescue organisation. 

FAR does not have any commercial participator or professional fundraiser agreements in place. 

## **FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS** 

The development of the Charity was severely restricted by the COVID pandemic which continues to impact on operations. The trustees will endeavour to grow the charity as soon as practical.

- Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and consistent; 

- State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been 

- followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

* Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The charity prepares and files accounts prepared on a receipts and payments basis in compliance with, The Charities Act 1993 and the Statement of Recommended Practice 2015 (FRS 102).
