:The purposes of Hay Animal Rescue Team (HART) are:

To relieve the suffering of animals in need of care and attention
-
To provide and maintain rescue (foster) homes and facilities for the reception, care, and treatment of such animals
-
Our activities focus on the border area between Powys and Herefordshire in Wales and England
Activities and Objectives
HART is a small, dedicated charity based in Hay-on-Wye, Mid-Wales. With the trustees’ guidance and a remarkable volunteer admin and foster team, we support dogs, cats, and - during emergencies - other small animals needing care and new homes.
Animals are cared for in loving foster homes, receiving vaccinations, microchips, flea/worm treatments, and neutering (when age-appropriate). Foster carers rehabilitate and assess animals until they’re ready to be matched with their forever families. Our core objective remains relieving animal suffering through foster networks and community engagement.

Rescue Statistics
Number of animals into H.A.R.T
Income
Our funding comes entirely from community support and creative efforts. The two main income streams are adoption fees and direct donations. We have then raised additional funds through raffles and small fundraisers.
Expenditure
All funds are used solely for the charity’s purposes. A significant portion of this year’s costs related to veterinary care, which remains our highest expense. This ensures that every animal receives not only routine treatments, but urgent care upon arrival. Additionally, major investments were made toward the construction of a new cattery and kennels to help us support and rehome more animals.
Vet Bills - ££68,70068,700 Cattery Construction- £11,0001,000 Kennel Construction - ££5,0005,000
With a strong foundation built on compassion, resilience, and transparency, HART continues to enhance animal welfare across our community. We deeply value the trust and support of our volunteers, donors, adopters, and members.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Hay Animal Rescue Team (H.A.R.T) for the period ended 31 May 2025
I report on the accounts of the charity, which are set out on pages 6 to 7.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011
-
Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with
-
the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
-
2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
