Objectives and Activities** The charity’s objectives are: The relief of financial hardship among people living or working in the UK by providing such persons with goods, which they could not otherwise afford through lack of means. The Charity works for the benefit of the public, to prevent or relieve the suffering of animals and to provide subsistence and nourishment for such animals who would otherwise face neglect due to poverty or financial hardship of their owners. 1 The Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty under Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when carrying out the charity’s aims and activities. During the reporting period, Animal FoodBank UK, worked to relieve hardship among pet owners in financial difficulty by distributing pet food and essential supplies through a network of volunteers and partner organisations. These activities directly further the charity’s aims for the public benefit by preventing animal neglect and supporting responsible pet ownership during times of economic strain. ## **4.Achievements and Performance** Between 18 June 2024 and 28 February 2025, the charity: - Distributed approximately 25,000 pet meals to owners experiencing financial hardship. - Supported other rescues and charitable organisations requiring assistance with animal food supply. - Maintained and expanded its volunteer network to ensure effective collection and distribution.

Appropriate steps have been taken to mitigate these risks, including close monitoring of expenditure and active volunteer engagement. ## **8.Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement** The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and the Charities SORP (FRS 102).
