BEST LIFE DOG RESCUE LIMITED REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

The Trustees are pleased to present their report together with the financial statements of the charity for the period ending 30 June 2008.

The directors of the charitable company (the charity) are its trustees for the purpose of the charity law and throughout this report are collectively referred to as the Trustees. Structure, Governance and Management Governing Document Model Constitution for Charitable Unincorporated Associations adopted 15 March 2006 amended 22 June 2006. Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees This is set out in the Model Constitution, the charity in a general meeting shall elect the officers and other trustees, the trustees may appoint any person who is willing to act as trustee, they may also appoint trustees to act as officers. No one may be elected a trustee or officer at any annual meeting unless prior to the meeting the charity is given a notice that: (1) is signed by a member entitled to vote at the meeting (2) states the members intention to propose the appointment of a person as a trustee or as an officer (3) is signed by the person who is to be proposed to show his/her willingness to be

appointed. Trustees Induction and Training New trustees will attend an initial meeting where they will be provided with a full report on the charities activities and what their roles and responsibilities are as trustees of the charity. Trustees are encouraged to call meetings of trustees whenever they feel it is necessary to discuss any issues that arise. The trustees will be invited to quarterly meetings to discuss progress made and future plans. Page 2 BEST LIFE DOG RESCUE LIMITED REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 Risk Management These issues will be raised at the quarterly meetings. Any potential risk that has been identified will be addressed and a procedure/system put in place to mitigate that risk. So far the only risk that has been established is the small number of trustees. This is currently being addressed and although we have added additional trustees this year we are aiming to add more this year. Objectives and Activities

The Objectives of the charity are: To advance the education of young people and the wider communities of Selby and South Selby’s rurally isolated and less privileged areas, particularly through leisure time activities, so as to develop their physical, mental, social, moral and spiritual capacities so that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society. The main objectives for the year were to continue fund raising in order to provide learning opportunities in the rural communities. We want to: * Improve access to activities for the youth in the area * Increase the number of opportunities for children and their parents/carers to learn together. * Improve access to ICT training and resource for community members of all ages. The activities we provided in 2008 have been hugely successful. Achievements, Performance and Financial Review Our main achievement was successfully managing to provide family learning opportunities in 15 locations that where accessed by over 500 families across Selby. We received 100% positive feedback from every session. Page 3

BEST LIFE DOG RESCUE LIMITED REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 Following the receipt of the Awards for All funding we timetabled and facilitated the delivery of the family learning programmes in schools and village halls across Selby each Family had the opportunity to handle and learn about all sorts of animals from snakes to rabbits with Animals in Tuition, then they had a go at building bird boxes, bird feeder and planters with Yorkshire Wildlife trust then they experience and in many cases have a go at Falconry where they met owls, falcons and a range of other birds of prey with Minster Falconry. As well as meeting the animals sessions included quizzes, games and visual displays. The groups who attended range from 0-80 years and everyone enjoyed themselves. Following the success of these sessions all the schools in the area are now aiming to provide at least 3 family learning opportunities in their schools in 2008/2009. Unfortunately due to the scale of this project fund raising was reduced to a minimum and we only received some small donations of non restricted funds and we did not have to return the small amount that remained from the Awards for All bid this year. We are aware that fund raising needs to increase in 2008/2009 and all trustees are actively seeking these opportunities. Our principal funders for 2007/2008 were members of the public who attended our sessions. Plans for the Future We want to increase of fund raising this year, we still want to develop learning opportunities

and holiday activities for the youth in communities, as well as look at more physical activity opportunities for families and community members after school and in the holidays. We invested some money this year in promotional material in the form of tops with names and logos. This appears to have made an impact on a lot of families who have said they will look for the logo in future. We will continue to look for funding to provide schools and community groups with resources to enable them to offer activities themselves. Assets The resources the charity holds are held in storage when they are not in use at schools or community groups. They are secure and insured. These resources will remain the property of the charity. Page 4 BEST LIFE DOG RESCUE LIMITED REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 Policies The charity reserves policy explains that as we apply for grants for specific projects only, the grant should cover the full cost of the project. However, should there be any unforeseen expenses or complication with the project and the need to cover annual expenses e.g. accounts we believe a small level of reserves is justified. We have set this at £500 for 2009.

The current reserves are £222. The charity does not make investments or grants. Responsibilities of the Trustees Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees should follow best practice and:

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued)

* select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
* make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
* prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is
inappropriate to assume that the company will continue on that basis.

reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to
enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 1985. The
Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and
hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other
irregularities.

page 1.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part VII of the
