INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH APRIL 2021

Report to the trustees/ members of Angels for Animals Foundation on the accounts for the year ended 30th April 2021.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and

  3. · to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act

have not been met; or

  1. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

ANGELS FOR ANIMALS FOUNDATION

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH APRIL 2021

Purposes of the charity

The advancement of animal welfare for the public benefit in the UK and abroad by the promotion of human compassion towards animals, the protection of animals from cruelty and the relief of animal suffering through:

a. Forming partnerships with animal and wildlife rescue, rehabilitation and adoption organisations and volunteers globally, providing them with funding (by way of grants), information, advice and support for their projects;

b. Taking financial responsibility and overall responsibility for the care of animals rescued by partner animal and wildlife rescue organisations and volunteers abroad and rehoming these animals with appropriate families in the United Kingdom; and

c. Raising awareness of and providing education around global stray, abandoned and abused animal welfare concerns abroad and working with communities to address these concerns in a way that is mutually beneficial for the animal and human population.

Main activities

We are dedicated to improving the quality of life for street dogs in Turkey, empowering the local volunteers that help us to improve the quality of life for street dogs in Turkey and rescuing and rehoming dogs.

We achieve this by:

Grants – supporting local volunteers in Turkey to care for the existing street dog population in their local areas and to reduce the street dog population in those same areas. We do this by providing funding for:

  1. Spay/neuter surgeries for street dogs;

  2. Fuel for transporting street dogs to the vets for emergency care or spay/neuter surgeries;

  3. Dog food;

  4. Dog shelters and feeding stations;

  5. Key medicines such as tick, flea and worming treatments; and

  6. Accommodation for street dogs in recovery from spay/neuter operations or other emergency treatments before release.

Volunteers to whom we make grants are volunteers with whom we have built a trusting relationship and who have proven to have a positive impact on the welfare of street dogs in their local area and their local community. These volunteers all promote spay and neuter of dogs (street dogs and pet dogs) and support members of their community to be more responsible pet owners. Appropriate due diligence is carried out to monitor the correct use of grants by volunteers. For example, written updates on and pictures and videos of the work grants are supporting are provided by the volunteers.

Rescue – rescuing vulnerable dogs from the streets, for example, dogs that will not survive as street dogs for reasons including injury, abandonment and/or age. For dogs that we rescue and place in our care until rehoming, we provide veterinary treatment and secure boarding facility until they are transported to the UK to be placed into adoptive homes, foster homes or kennels from which appropriate placements are found.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH APRIL 2021

Public Benefit

The Trustees have given careful consideration to, and complied with, the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. We provide public benefit by:

Main achievements

Starting operations during a global health pandemic was challenging. Raising funds was harder due to increased financial pressures on the general public and transporting dogs to their new homes was made more difficult due to constantly changing travel restrictions. As travel to the UK was halted for periods, we partnered with a registered charity in the USA to rehome 5 of our rescued dogs with loving families so as to relieve burden on our charity funding where possible.

In the period between December 2020 and April 2021:

  1. We formed relationships with three local volunteers in Turkey to whom we made grants for food and shelter support for street dogs;

  2. We transported 33 dogs to their new homes in the UK or USA. We are provided with updates on dogs rehomed by the charity by way of social media or direct contact with the adopters;

  3. We made grants of £250 to local volunteers in Turkey for the feeding and shelter of street dogs. Shelters are built by the volunteers using wooden pallets, planks and tarpaulin. These

  4. shelters are particularly vital for the dogs during the colder months of December – March; and

  5. We spayed/neutered all dogs brought into the charity’s care and supported the spaying/neutering of street dogs.

Financial Review

The charity is in a strong position at the end of the period holding more than double our set reserve and there is no liability that the Trustees are aware of that would weaken the charity’s finances. The charity is in a good position on which to build to continue to achieve its objectives over the next annual period.

Reserves

The aim of the charity is to ensure that the charity’s ongoing and future activities are reasonably protected from unexpected variances in its income and expenditure. We aim to keep a minimum level of unrestricted general fund, currently set at £5,000.

Amount of Reserves Held

£5,000

The trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily.
