Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
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 To raise awareness of the charity we
have made television appearances on
both This Morning and The Russell
Howard Hour, as well as doing local radio
and newspaper interviews.
The publicity allowed the general public
to see the possibilities that were around
for their disabled, injured and elderly
pets, giving them hope for the future.
Post COVID-19 has meant that we have
been able to start attending a lot more
dog shows, which has given us the
opportunities to carry on getting the
word out to the general public and
offering help and support on a
nationwide basis whilst continuing to
raise much needed funds.
The Charity has been going from
strength to strength with more people
joining our Facebook site and a lot more
**requests for help. **

4

As at September 2022 we now have over 200 wheelchairs and 60 strollers out on loan to people and have helped more than 600 dogs to stay mobile and continue enjoying time with their families on outings and holidays. A lot of the equipment we provide once no longer needed is returned to us to be sent on to the next suitable dog on the waiting list, which means that some wheelchairs and strollers are now out with their third or fourth dog.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s
financial position at the
end of the period		 Para 1.21 All funds raised immediately go out of
the charity account as there is a long
waiting list of dogs requiring wheelchairs
and strollers which all need purchasing.
At the end of this period there was
£4,434.88 left in the account.

Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 No reserves are held in the account.

Reasons for holding zero
reserves		 Para 1.22 Our funding is always concentrated on
buying the equipment to keep as many
dogs mobile as possible. This has meant
that we have yet to build up enough
funds to enable us to hold reserves at the
present time.

Explanation of any
uncertainties about the

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Winstons Wheels Charity, Charity number 1191322

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Winstons Wheels Charity

for the year ended 30 September 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Association you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the Charities accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Name: Tracy Martin
