## **Not Quite Wired Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 31st December 2024** 

The Trustees present their annual report for the year ended 31st December 2024. The Trustees listed on page 2 served for the whole of 2024 and were the Charity Trustees on the date the report was approved. 

The Trustees have read the Commission’s Public Benefit requirement statutory guidance, and have had regard to this when running the charity. 

## **Aims and Objectives** 

The Charity aims to promote humane behaviour towards dogs (particularly wirehaired fox terriers) in the UK by providing appropriate care, protection, treatment and security for dogs which are in need of care and attention by reason of sickness, maltreatment, poor circumstances or ill usage - re-homing such dogs where possible. As well as the provision of financial assistance to support the care and treatment of dogs belonging to persons resident in the uk who are unable to meet the costs of such care and treatment. 

## **Review of the Years Activities and Future Developments** 

This is the second report of the charity Not Quite Wired and covers the twelve month period from 1[st] January 2024 to 31[st] December 2024.  During this time the Trustees have continued to develop the working practices of the Charity and have continued planning future developments including the possible registration with HMRC to allow gift aid to be collected on qualifying donations. 

During the period the Charity’s social media community has continued to grow and now numbers 837 followers which not only ensures possible future foster and permanent homes for Wire Haired Fox Terriers that come into our care can be identified but also expands the knowledge base of experienced dog owners for the benefit of everyone involved.  This number also allows us to target a wider range of supporters to illicit donations for particular support projects. 

In 2024 advice was given to a number of owners who were considering rehoming their pet which resulted in the dog remaining in their care, while one dog was successfully found a permanent new home. 

In 2024 funds were raised in a number of ways including one-off donations, regular giving, fee for rehomed a dog, through the Easy Fundraising app where supporters purchase from various retailers result in a donation, and a one special appeal to allow financial help to be given to a Wire Hair Fox Terrier owner who was having difficulty in meeting veterinary bills which were being accrued through the treatment of their dog. .The money raised by this special appeal was ring fenced and paid directly to the vet practice who were carried out the treatment  (on them providing a

detailed invoice)  rather than it being paid to the dog owner. 

## **Risk Management** 

The Trustees have reviewed the Charities activities and considered the risks to which it is exposed. The Trustees are committed to implementing management strategies to minimise those risks and to implement procedures to reduce the impact of those risks should they materialise. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The Trustees acknowledge that the future needs of beneficiaries must not be compromised in the provision of the Charities services. Therefore future risks and liabilities must be reviewed on an ongoing basis and an adequate level of free reserves established. However, it is also acknowledged that those reserves should not be higher than can be reasonably justified 

## **The Charity’s financial position at the end of the year:** 

In the financial year 2024.  The Charity had an income of  £1517.74 and an expenditure of £1571.40.
