Structure, governance and management
Governing Document
Dali Dog Rescue UK is established by Constitution and registered as a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) with the Charity Commission in England and Wales on 6 April 2022 under charity number 1198532.
The charity's constitution was last amended 5 January 22.
Appointment of Trustees
Apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees.
In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO. At present our Trustess have been selected from our known volunteer pool, for their skills and abilities.
Objectives, activities, achievements and performance
Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document
The object of the CIO is, for the benefit of the Public, to relieve the suffering of dogs in Cyprus who are abandoned, stray or otherwise in need of care and attention, and which may be at risk of being euthanised.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects
Support of the dogs flown to the UK by the Cyprus registered charity D.O.G Rescue Cyprus (Dali Organized Group). We introduce our charity to all new adopters bringing Dali dogs directly from Cyprus. This includes:
-
sharing knowledge to help dogs settle in their homes,
-
helping adopters source training & behavioural resources in their local area,
-
looking for suitable homes for the dogs already in the UK when necessary,
-
fundraising to keep dogs safe in both UK and Cyprus,
-
participating in and growing the Dali Dog community in the UK,
-
fostering awareness of rescue dogs and their needs
We continue to grow our website to help our rescue and work on building the information resource available on it. We supported 44 dogs into new homes in the UK.

Appreciation
We truly appreciate the support of our Dali family. Our adopters, fosters, volunteers and donors are all very much an intergral part of rescue we are grateful for their continued support.
Financial review
The Trustees have adopted a reserves policy, which they consider appropriate to ensure the continued ability of the charity to meet its objectives. The Trustees aim to ensure reserves equal to 3— 6 months of operating expenditure are available, which we work to maintain.
Operational and Staff Report
Volunteers
Our volunteers are involved in interviewing and assessing prospective adopters, helping us match dogs to the right families. Some volunteers also provide advice and help monitor our groups and forums to help adopters find the help and support they need.
Our microchip administration is understaken by a volunteer to ensure our dogs are protected with the rescue's lifetime support marked on their chip. Volunteers also help us run our auctions and participate in fundraising events.
We also have a homecheck coordinator who liaises with a third party charity called the Animal Team to ensure checks are carried out to the standard required.
Activities
Our Cyprus sister charity D.O.G Rescue Cyprus (Dali Organized Group), continues to feel the pressure from the sheer number of dogs in need of help in Cyprus.
In the UK we organised auctions and raffles as well as using our fundraising platform FUNDRAZR to raise funds to ensure we can support dogs in need of help in Cyprus and also in the UK.
244 dogs flew from our sister charity to the UK in this financial year and 26 of these flew to foster homes. We fly dogs directly to foster homes to try to help them find families as some dogs get overlooked and this can help them.
We homed 44 dogs in the UK. These dogs were either flown to foster homes or needed to find new homes due to changes in their families circumstances as people return to offices post covid, thereby showing the importance of a rescue back up team in the UK who can help ensure our rescue dogs do not become a burden on the already stretched UK system. We have 2 dogs in forever foster in the UK due to health reasons and 7 dogs who have benefited from rehabilitation in a kennel environment with 2 now successfully in homes.
Changes by some vets in their requirements for patient registration with regards to Brucellosis, led to us encouraging our sister charity in Cyprus to implement pre flight Brucellosis testing, which is now in place for all dogs flying to the UK.. Christmas cards and calendars continue to be created to help raise awareness and funds.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Dali Dog Rescue UK
I report on the accounts of Dali Dog Rescue UK (CIO No: 1198532) for the year ended 31 March 2024 which are set out on pages 6 to 11.
Responsibili�es and basis of report
As the trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Act and that an independent examination is needed.
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s 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 confirm that no other matters have come to my attention that giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
1 the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
2 the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
3 the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
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.

Notes to the accounts
1 Basis of preparation
1.1 Basis of accounting
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with:
-
the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014.
-
the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
-
and with the Charities Act 2011.
Dali Dogs Rescue UK meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
The board of trustees has a reasonable expectation that there are adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The accounts have been prepared under the going concern basis.
1.2 Change in basis of accounting
There has been no change to the accounting policies since last year.
1.3 Changes to previous accounts
No changes have been made to accounts for previous years except reclassification of income based on additional information.
2 Accounting policies
2.1 Recognition of incoming resources
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
-
the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
-
the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and
-
the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
2.2 Incoming resources with related expenditure
Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA.
2.3 Grants and donations
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.
2.4 Tax reclaims on donations and gifts
Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SoFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate.
2.5 Contractual income and performance related grants
This is only included in the SoFA once the related goods or services have been delivered.
Page 8
Notes to the accounts (cont)
2.6 Donated services and facilities
These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received.
2.7 Volunteer help
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual
2.8 Liability recognition
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.
2.9 Governance costs
Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.
2.10 Grants with performance conditions
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
2.11 Grants payable without performance conditions
These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to the grant which remain in the control of the charity.
2.12 Tangible fixed assets for use by charity
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £1000. They are valued at cost.
