The financial accounts are independently examined by Alanbrookes Group Ltd., t/a J S Weeks & Co., 10 Market Place, Devizes, SN10 1HT. Branch funds are held by Lloyds Bank PLC, Devizes.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Branch is constituted as an unincorporated association. The Branch operates as an autonomous Branch of the National RSPCA subject to its rules for Branches. A committee of Trustees, elected at the Annual General Meeting governs the Branch. All Trustees are briefed on their responsibilities as Trustees prior to their acceptance of the role.
The Branch operates within a national network of organisations that pursue the same objectives, known collectively as the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The network comprises independent Branches operating within a defined geographical area for the purposes of fundraising and the provision of animal care facilities and treatments.
A regional structure which is overseen on a national basis, brings several Branch colleagues together with Inspectors, regional and national representatives. The purpose is to discuss regional funding, co-ordinate policies and objectives as well as provide opportunities for colleagues to share knowledge and experiences.
Representatives of the Branches, regional and national organisations meet at this forum on a regular (at least bi-annual) basis.
The Branch also has links with other Branches and organisations committed to the same objectives including among others, Cats Protection, Wiltshire Wildlife Hospital, RSPCA Bath Cats and Dogs Home, Cat Action Trust, Chippenham Cat Rescue, Acorn Rescue and Compassion for Cats.
Branch Management
The Trustees meet every eight weeks to discuss progress on the year’s activities and to agree any required actions. The Branch finances are reviewed at each meeting to ensure donated funds are used appropriately and to mitigate any risks.
The Trustees also examine other operational and business risks and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate any significant risks, such as:-
-
Loss of reputation through error or fraud
-
Loss of income through error or fraud
-
Insufficient funds to cover the costs of animal welfare activities
These meetings are also used to ensure that the Branch operates in accordance with any relevant National Society rules, processes and initiatives – guided by the Branch Partnership Manager.
OBJECTS, OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The objects of the Branch are to promote the work and objectives of the National Society of the RSPCA – to prevent animal cruelty, to promote kindness to animals and to alleviate the suffering of animals through all lawful means – with particular reference to the Branch area and in accordance with the policies of the Society.
The Trustees have reviewed the outcomes and achievements of the Branch’s objectives and activities for the year to ensure they remain focused on the charity’s aims and continue to deliver benefits to the public. The Trustees have complied with the duty under the Charities Act 1993 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission which can be illustrated as follows: -
Alleviatng Sufering
A priority for the Branch is to ensure appropriate veterinary care is available for animals whose owners are on benefits or a low income and may be reluctant or anxious about the costs of seeing a vet. The Branch provides contributions towards veterinary treatment for sick or injured animals owned by local people on low incomes and on benefits through a voucher scheme.
Briefly we have dealt with the following:
18 x neuters. 14 x TNR. 26 x Treatments via vouchers. 28 x Microchips. 5 x PTS. 1 x Dog spay.
Promotng kindness and preventng cruelty
The branch has a phone which trustees take in turns to hold and answer so that the public can ring to ask for help and advice. This is available for 12 hours a day and when not manned has a lot of useful information the public can access. We issue vouchers where we feel this is necessary to alleviate an
animal’s suffering (this is only to owners who are on benefits) and always encourage owners to think about pet insurance.
The Branch also offers subsidised neutering of cats for owners on state benefits, this helps to control cat populations and promotes responsible pet ownership.
Volunteering Support
RSPCA Wiltshire Mid Branch provide volunteering opportunities for those who wish to support our work including Trusteeship, fundraising and event participation.
The Branch continues to make efforts to attract new Trustees and volunteers.
Joint Report of Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer for 2025
2025 has seen this small but very effective branch continue to support animals in the community in various ways.
Our volunteers continue to trap, neuter and release feral cats also ensuring that any kittens trapped are then fostered and prepared for a good life in a domestic situation.
We have had some distressing cases this year including a report of cats left in extremely hot weather (27 degrees) on Salisbury Plain, trapped in cages with no food or water or means of escape. Although this is not our area it was reported to us so some of our volunteers and trustees immediately travelled to rescue these cats.
There were 10 in total all filthy and in a very poor condition with one extremely poorly. Our local vets made sure all cats were thoroughly examined and necessary care given. This was followed by fostering care to bring them back to health and ready for their new homes. We are glad to report that the one cat who was very ill has recovered.
The cats were actually rescued from the South Wilts Branch area and they willingly contributed to the vet bills as they understood how vital it was for the rescue to be immediate to save the cats lives.
We also launched a fundraiser on various medias and were overwhelmed by the generosity of the public in response to our appeal. The vet costs are just part of the cost of rescue, food and ongoing care is also an expense so the money raised enabled us to do our very best for these cats who are now all happy and thriving.
We have successfully used fundraising in this way for other cases that require large sums of money for treatment. Directly appealing to the public and providing actual cases they can relate to means the responses we have are fairly immediate and generous.
Our emergency help line is managed by trustees who deal with a variety of problems and hand out advice and information or provide small contributions towards care for pets whose owners who are on benefits. We can be asked about anything from domestic pets of all sorts to wildlife
and we have a comprehensive list of organisations that can help owners and members of the public who report wildlife issues to us.
Our thanks go to the following organisations for their support throughout the year and, as you can see, we have an increasing number of organisations we are able to call on for all sorts of assistance with the work we do in the community,
Estcourt Vets, Devizes, whose support and reduced costs are so much appreciated
McQueen Vets in Devizes who help with reduced financial costs for treatment of our rescue cats.
Cats Protection, who never fail to provide any help they can however difficult it is for them. Ginger Cat who provide “stinky ferret” toys which are much beloved by our recue cats.
Wiltshire Wildlife Hospital, who provide us with so much support around wildlife in our area.
The Bear in Devizes who provide us with a room for meetings free of charge
Morrisons in Devizes who allow our pet food bank on site
Kats and Kits
Acorn Cat Rescue
Cats Action Trust
Cat Rescue, Chippenham
Cats in distress
Compassion for Cats
Chalklands Vets
Hale Vets
RJT who provided a new cattery roof
Excel flooring who provided new pen flooring and additional flooring for cat room
Herons farm animal rescue
Our local police
Rangebourne Pet Supplies staff who are always helpful and knowledgeable
Our fosterers who go above and beyond to ensure our rescue cats and particularly kittens are cared for often with kittens requiring 24 hour care.
Last but not least our Inspectors who continue to support us and are always willing to advise/attend any cases concerning cruelty to animals that come our way.
Collaboraton with the Natonal Society
It is a given that we always support the National Society objectives, where appropriate, and within our capability. Guided by our Branch Partnership Manager we use the regular Branch Communication circulations to identify opportunities to get involved.
As part of our commitment to running a properly regulated charity we have established several Branch policies and have adopted the principle of a Branch Annual Review through which we may reflect on past work and to plan future activities.
Collaboraton with the Community
We attended the Melksham River Festival again this year, the interest was not as marked as last year but we had trustees manning the stall who were able to engage with the public to promote our work.
Collaboraton with other Branches and Charites
As will have been seen from previous reports the Branch agreed to North Wilts Branch siting an RSPCA shop in Warminster, under the terms of the arrangement the Branch receives a percentage of the profits and all donations received, which this year amounted to £1142.08 to benefit the Mid Wilts Branch.
Wiltshire Wildlife Hospital continues to receive monetary support from the Branch to assist in their work of caring for and rehabilitating local wildlife.
Collaboraton with the Local Inspectors
The RSPCA Inspectors provide knowledge and experience to the Branch which is invaluable, the wide range of issues and problems they face can be seen from the Chief Inspector’s Report included within this Report.
Fundraising
We are actively seeking to raise funds via grants and legacies with leaflets about legacies being part of our events. Branch Awareness is a focus for the coming year with events that inform and (and hopefully involve) people in the areas we cover.
As previously stated, our fundraising is veering towards media appeals which have been very successful.
Financial Review
The total incoming resources for the year amounted to £39,677. Expenditure for the year amounted to £34,435.
It is the policy of the Branch to maintain free reserves for the Branch at a level equal to approximately five years’ unrestricted expenditure, to allow for fluctuations in donations and legacies on which the Branch relies. Our Trustees are keen that money should not be retained unnecessarily simply to ensure sustainability.
Free reserves are defined as unrestricted reserves (funds donated for a specific purpose which cannot be used for anything other than the purpose for which they were donated).
In line with the Branch Rules, an annual donation is made to the National Society, this amount is calculated as a percentage of our free reserves. This donation is deducted at source from our share of the Door-to-Door collection that we receive annually from the National Society.
The investment policy, taken on advice following receipt of legacies, takes into account our cautious at ude to risk, with investment funds stored in National Savings Income Bonds.
The Trustees have no designated funds for expenditure in the next twelve months. FUTURE PLANS
Together with our regular and continuing support provided to those in need of financial veterinary assistance we will be actively trying to attend local events to promote the work of the branch.
We continue to look to increase our Volunteer / Trustee base with a view to bringing fresh ideas into the group.
We will continue to work with our local Inspectors, supporting them on specific animal welfare projects as identified by them.
We have built up really good working relationships with organisations in our area and the collaboration has both helped and enriched our work.
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and their financial statements in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales require the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs and the net incoming and outgoing resources of the Charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, Trustees are required to: -
-
Select suitable policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-
Prepare financial statements on a going-concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Branch will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open, to safeguard the assets of the Charity and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
So far as the Trustees are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Charity’s auditors are unaware. Additionally, the Trustees have taken all the steps needed in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Charity’s auditors are aware of that information.

Joint Report from Chair, Secretary and Treasurer
Liz Davies, Secretary of the branch gave the following report:
If you have read our Annual Report you will know that it has been another busy year for our branch.
We are just 7 trustees and we have a lot of area to cover particularly dealing with feral colonies and also encouraging owners to have their cats neutered before they produce kittens.
We have invested in a new branded gazebo and clothing to attend events and we are planning to attend as many events as we can manage given our small team including Melksham River Festival again this year. Mainly to try and educate owners and potential owners about care and costs involved with owning a pet. Often people do not think beyond getting a pet so it is important that education is part of our commitment to the pets in our community.
We continue to build very good relationships with the local vets and organisations (these are mentioned in our Annual Report) that also help pets in the area. We often have to call on them at very short notice and they always do their very best to help us.
We are very lucky in the team of inspectors that cover this area who are always approachable and ready to assist with problems.
We are hoping to recruit more trustees encouraging those interested to come along to events we attend and see the work from a different perspective.
We have had a wonderful response from the public this year with donations to our pet food bank in Morrisons in Devizes. We are always amazed at people’s generosity. We always share the donations with other organisations in the area.
Financially we are in a much stronger place than recent years and, hopefully, this will continue thanks to our treasurer and ensuring that requests for financial help go to those who need it most and are on benefits.
One of our trustees has been shortlisted for the Animal Award at the BBC Radio Wiltshire Make a Difference Award 2025. The result will not be until 14[th] September but it is still a great achievement to be shortlisted and is thoroughly deserved.
Caroline Davy – Treasurer of the Branch gave the following report:
Caroline had previously handed out a spreadsheet of the first quarter of this year and asked if anyone wanted to ask questions, there were no questions asked.
She then went through the annual report and enlarged upon items in the report:
Door to door donations – the money we receive from these has reduced.
Income now comes from sources such as adoption fees, neutering and microchipping contributions from owners and from the efforts of two trustees (Jess Scull and Jess Portch) who have raised a lot of money on social media for particularly difficult and expensive cases where veterinary fees are very high.
There has been a low uptake on neutering this year despite a lot of publicity.
There has been a shift in income this year from the proper use of vouchers and tracking them, we now conform to the RSPCA guidelines. We have spent more on branch animals but can now afford to do so.
Adopton of the Accounts
Proposed – Lesley Pawlak, Seconded – Richard Pearce
Electon / appointment of Auditor – to remain the same
Proposed – Jo Sheppard, Seconded – Barbara Myles
Caroline Davy said the auditors had proposed a new system of accounting called Zero and, although there is a fee for this service, it was felt to be a much more transparent and better system. The use of this package will start in January 2026
Electon of the Commitee
Richard Pearce counted and signed the ballot papers and all current members were duly elected for another year.
Any Other Business
Andy Sheppard thanked: All trustees and volunteers for their hard work in the last year, all inspectors for the support and all the vets we deal with for their assistance.
Jess Scull gave a report on the work we do with cats and other organisation that help us particularly with feral colonies. She mentioned:
Compassion for Cats who now have a vet room on site and take in a lot of our ferals. They also give homes to FIV afflicted cats who cannot be released back into feral colonies, there is enough enclosed space on site for them to feel free to roam whilst being safely looked after.
Ginger Cat rescue who provided (amongst other things) a specialist trap from America which has greatly helped with the trapping of feral cats.
Copper Shell who help us with farm animals.
We have been working towards negotiating with vets to have better rates for the treatment of animals we rescue.
We also work with the local council around things like licences.
We have built up an increasingly strong network to aid us in the work we do with animals in our community.
Richard Pearce asked what was in it for these organisations helping us, Jess Scull replied that it was the common bond of wanting the best for animals in our care.
Any Sheppard closed the meeting and thanked everyone for attending

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.

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners.

Independent Examiner’s Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
