Section B Structure, governance and management

Description of the charity’s trusts

March 2012

TAR

	Type of governing document (eg. trust deed, constitution)	DOGS FOR HEALTH is governed by a Constitution as laid out during its formation. The Constitution uses the Charity Commission standard template and was revised in April 2021
	How the charity is constituted (eg. trust, association, company)	The charity is an association as per the guidance of the charity Commission
	Trustee selection methods (eg. appointed by, elected by)	Initial selection was the three Trustees who formed the charity. The charity plans to run in this form for two years with elections in March 2022 to form the new board of Trustees. In 2022-23 however there was not any
		uptake in new trustees and the charity remains a three trustee charity as
		per its original set up. James was again voted in as chair of trustees for a
		third year.

The numbers of volunteers is increasing and the charity has been approached to take on a failing charity within the Frome area. The talks are looking at us taking on befriending with and without dogs as well as a
		Tuesday group that currently meets in the local church hall.
		The charity is evaluating a vehicle or trailer to create a public face at
		events and visits. This would be under the Pawamedics banner to create
		awareness and future funding of the charity.
		Trustees have increased insurance to £10,000,000 public liability as well
		as Trustee insurance and insurance for public assemblies and events.
		Further risks in the delivery of service have created a need for a paid
		person to monitor and support the administration and running of the
		charity.

Section C Objectives and activities

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document	Our aims are still as stated in the original governing document, these are To support people who are in need regardless of their age, disability, health or social circumstances.

During 2023-24 the charity continues to offer the following

Paws at the door, a service providing free home visits and visits to care homes and hospitals etc. These visits are free at point of contact and continue to be the bulk of the work delivered by the charity. Each patient has an initial six week assessment and visits session followed by revaluation for further visits.

Pawamedics service, a fund raising part of the charity where the dogs and handlers deliver group work sessions in business and wider community, a donation is obtained which is used to fund the ongoing work of the charity and negates the need to fund raise by traditional methods.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Fund raising has been boosted by taking over a local charity at the end of March 2024 which will attract a funding of £23,000 towards our administrator costs as a two year project.

Good connections with local support networks continue to grow, these connections have allowed us to receive grants from a local council and to be included in events within the community.

The web presence is to be a major project which large steps have been taken towards making this a reality. The promise of 2024-25 being a bigger presence

To continue the assemblies, provide support in classrooms and to explore the wider community in which the charity operates, guides, scouts, beavers and cubs to name a few. To maintain a presence in the town and start to promote our work through dog shows in association with the local councils. As well as development of a student dog handler programme and dog first aid training courses to offer within the communities we serve.

The army have used the services of the team on several occasions this year and this continues to be an area we will develop going forward. Our presence at the Blue Light show was a good step towards us havng a national presence.
