Our transport team is now well established and has expanded. This team is made up of volunteers who are able to collect cats from outside our regular locations as we build relationships with rescues further afield. They are also helping with our vet runs – taking cats to and from the vets for routine procedures such as spaying and neutering. They are made aware of the objectives and aims in relation to the benefits to the public in accordance with the Charity Commission's Guidelines

## **Achievements and Performance** 

SORP reference Our Charity continues to thrive, rescuing and rehoming unwanted /abandoned cats and kittens. Since Summary of the main COVID-19 we have slowly been Para 1.20 achievements of the working on increasing our homing charity, identifying the figures. We are currently at roughly difference the charity’s 60-80 cats and kittens a month. work has made to the circumstances of its This year we have been able to use beneficiaries and any the legacy money that has been ringwider benefits to society fenced to buy our permanent as a whole. property. During this time, our property was under our previous charity number – 1145090. We spent a lot of time transferring the property to our new charity number – 1191606 as part of our conversion to a CIO. During this transitional period we have both charity numbers active though the annual return and all business will now be under our new CIO charity number. Before moving we had to spend a lot of time ensuring the premises was ready to move the cats over from our previous property. This has allowed us to have a dedicated isolation area with a separate hospital space for cats and kittens who are particularly unwell. We have increased the 



number of outdoor pens we have to ensure there are less cats in each pen which will continue to help us reduce infection. This has also allowed us to help more with emergency cases as we have more flexibility with our intake. Alongside this we have now also installed heating in each of the pens to maintain high standards of comfort for the animals in our care. This property also benefits from a larger office to ensure the safe keeping of documents, a separate washroom to further reduce any cross contamination. As part of the new property being purchased and moved in to, we have convert to a new charity registration and format from charitable association to CIO. We are constantly working at improving our administration and communication throughout the Charity. There are co-ordinators for each part of the charity e.g Homing officer, foster co-ordinator etc. This has allowed us to rescue and home cats effectively and efficiently. Care is taken with the induction of new volunteers so that any reservations or problems are covered; helping them feel confident in the knowledge of what is expected and also not to be afraid to ask for any advice or help. We have also been part of the Duke of Edinburgh scheme. The co-Ordinator for this inducts the D of E students and promptly completes their reviews. These students have been able to develop a range of personal skills along with effectively working in cat rescue. However, since March 2020 we have removed our D of E volunteers to ensure their safety amid COVID-19 and have sustained this throughout this year. 

Our in person fundraising is starting back up again with us being able to hold stalls at local events. We are still using social media to undertake a lot of our fundraising as we have a strong following and are finding it to be very successful. We hope to continue to fund raise both online and in person 



as we still have work to do to improve our new property. The welfare of each animal continues, all cats are homed after being vet checked, vaccinated, flead and wormed with 4 weeks free PetPlan insurance. Last year we established a new policy to microchip all cats and kittens that come in to our care (unless already chipped). We are continuing to do this as it is working well.  We have chosen to do this to minimise the chances of lost animals not being returned to their home with the appropriate owner. We have also worked alongside our partner vets to amend our spay and neuter policy. We are now spay and neutering from 5 months rather than 6 months. In doing this, we hope to continue to take all precautions against unwanted pregnancies, reducing the chances of spreading FIV etc

|**Note 2**|**Accounting policies**|
|---|---|
|**2.1 INCOME**||
|**Recognition of income**|These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:|
||· the charity becomes entitled to the resources;|
||· it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources;|
||· the monetary value can be measured with sufcient reliability.|
|**Ofsetting**|There has been no ofsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the<br>FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.|
|**Grants and donations**|Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to<br>5.12 FRS102 SORP).|
||In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has|
||provided the specifed goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related|
||conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).|
||Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the|
|**Legacies**|executors have established that there are sufcient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy|
||are either within the control of the charity or have been met.|
|**Government grants**|The charity has received government grants in the reporting period|
|**Tax reclaims on**<br>**donations and gifts**|Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor.  Any Gift Aid amount<br>recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the<br>initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specifed otherwise.|
|**Contractual income and**|This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the|
|**performance related**|performance related conditions.|
|**grants**||
|**Donated goods**|Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical<br>to do so.|
||The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to benefciaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts|
||at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt.  In the reporting period in which the stocks are|
||distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.|
||Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale|
||less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding|
||stock recognised in the balance sheet.  On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading|
||activities' and the proceeds from  sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'.|
||Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fxed assets and included in the SoFA as|
||incoming resources when receivable.|
||Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable.|
|**Donated services and**|Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity|
|**facilities**|provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.|
||Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent|
||amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA.|
|**Support costs**|The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.|
|**Section C**|**Notes to the accounts                                                        (cont)**|
|**Volunteer help**|The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual<br>report.|
|**Income from interest,**<br>**royalties and dividends**|This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.|

## **2.2 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES** 

||Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing|
|---|---|
|**Liability recognition**|the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.|
|**Governance  and support**|<br>Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support.  Governance costs comprise all|
|**costs**|costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.|
||Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent|
||with the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by foor areas, or per capita, staf costs by the time spent|
||and other costs by their usage.|
|**Grants with performance**|<br>Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specifc level of service or output to be|
|**conditions**|provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specifed|
||service or output.|
|**Grants payable without**|Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to realistically avoid the|
|**performance conditions**|commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised.|
|**Redundancy cost**|The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period.|
|**Deferred income**|No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.|
|**Creditors**|The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts|
|**Provisions for liabilities**|A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of<br>the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date|
|**Basic fnancial**|The charity accounts for basic fnancial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 10.7 FRS102 SORP.|
|**instruments**|Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS102 SORP.|
|**2.3 ASSETS**||
|**Tangible fxed assets for**|These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least|
|**use by charity**||
||They are valued at cost.|
||The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 14.|
|**Stocks and work in**<br>**progress**|Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net realisable value.|
||Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount|
|**Debtors**|after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity.  Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or|
||other consideration expected to be received.|
