ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Pur
os8 of Branch
As set out in ils conslitullon the purpose of the Plymouth and Sotjth West Devon Branch, one of the oldest in the
country, is to foster the trealmeril and welfare of animals and to comi)al cruelty io Ireatsng animals in the lo¢al area. This
is pursued under the aegi5 of the nats.onal RSPCA or own aCtI￿lieS trea￿"n9 animals and promoting their welfa￿. and
by the work of the SocielY5 ￿ntrallY managed Inspectorate.
Charitable Activi
This is achieved in several ways: by 18king in animals direclty by inspectors. by engaging ￿1h Ihe local community
where there are Cases of abandoned or injured anitnals. an¢J when appropriate by helping owners over difficult times to
treat their animals in cases of emergency or by prowding access to affordable spawng and neuterin9.
The inspectors. exploits are dewbed In detail in their own reports. Many of the animals Ihey rescue cowne lo us ¢I￿¢￿Y
or via a vel for treatment andlor ￿hOMing. We also take in animals from Ihe general public in circurllstances such as
bereavement. owners moving lo rented accommodation (w no longer atAe to look after them bec8US8 of failing health or
other changes in ¢ircumstance5.
The work we do is outlined in the followFng reports=

The past year has been one ol the mosl challeThJing the Branch has eyperienced. with a significant increase in animal
abandonment. part￿￿larlY involwng cats and dogs. Earty in the year, the Bfanch responded lo requests from local
farmer5 to assist wth feral cat populatEOll5, rernowng and ne￿tering nineteen cats across Iwo properties. All anirnals
were treated for fleas and worms before beitvJ retsJme(J.
Valuable support was provided by LIz￿e Smilh, a long-standing Cats Protec￿'on volunteer who ioined the Branch as an
RSPCA ARV during the year. Lizzi8 has sinc8 assumed the rde of Rehoming and Welfare Coordinator and provides
essential assistance to Inspectors and Animal Rescue Officers. Her I￿rk includes supporting multi-cal household8,
arranging veterinary transport. and coordinating daily neutering programmes. Notably. she played a key role in the
SU¢CÈS8ful management ol a complex welfare case involving a pattially sighted owner and rnulliple Cals. resulting in the
I￿atment and iehotning ol all 13 killens and the safe relum of the adult cats, un*ortunalely 3 kiitens due lo illness lost
one eye each.
During the year. the Branch 511PPOrted over 150 families laung finanaal diificulty wlh veterinary ¢osls. Many recipients
contributed small donalions, helping offset rising expenses. In total. the Branch arranged the neu18ring of 400 animals,
primarily cats, alon9 Wth some dogs and rabbiis. A vride variety of animals a150 passed through the Branch's care,
in¢luding ferrets, iabbits. gulls and a tortOiS8.
One particularty di51fessing case involved a young puppy that had sustsined rÈpÈaled injurie5 within a family home from
a 7-year-old child. The father could not control his daughte¥ awwj ielu¢tanlly agreed to sign the puppy over lo the
RSPCA. The puppy had a severely fractured elbow. knthich was treated and the puppy was evenlually rehotned.
The Branch continues to work closety wth Ihe in5peclora¢e to support the increasing nurnber of animals requiring
medical care prior lo rehoming. We remain extremely gratelul lo the veterinary praciices lor theii ongoing ¢ommilment
and support. Our thanks also extend lo Gables Dogs and Cats Home. Plymouth,. Margaret Green Animal Rescue.
Tavislo¢k'. and neighbouring RSPCA Centres for their conbnued Cooperati(￿ throughoul the year.

Re
rt 2025
As you will know from previous reports lh8 aim of ihe group is to identify as many Feral cats as we Can to check if they
are in need of help from us for trealmenl. spraying, flea treatrnenl et¢. Some wll be known to residents and are b8ing
led by local people, olheis may be living in a colony. wlh hurnan suppori ol any kind. When any feral cal is brou9ht
to our attention we need lo catch them Iwth the use of a human trap) have them checked by 8 veterinary surgeon and
given any ne¢e$sary treatment.
When we have caught them and have had them in Ca￿ for a few days, many prove tts be far (rom feral but have avoided
human contact because of their fear of the unknovm or because they have been ill-trealed in the past. SorTre tan
overcorne this fear in a relatively short time, others can be mote of a challenge. We accept that some will never be able
lo live in a dorneslic setting bul we can still improve theii lives by treats'ng and plaang them in an environment where
they have food. shelter and someone lo monito¥ their conditi￿. This may b8 the ofiginal area bul only if there is ongoing
support.

Some domestic cats Iwell loved by Iheir 0￿￿e[sI can. vthen lost. develop Ihe same sort ol fear through the stress of
being alolle in an alien enwronmenl.
One such cal was spotted in Ihe Dockyard some mtsnlh5 ago. We soon r8alised that he was new to the ar8a an¢J in view
of his condition must be caught urgently. He was so dirty that il was difficult lo be sur8 of his colour and breed. Once
caught he was checked lor a mi¢ro¢hip and found to be a reported stray. His owner was conta¢ted and we found he was
8 dorneslie cat who had lived as an indoor cal all his life and had been lost for almost a year. He musl have been
terrified of the great outdoors and il is miracle thal he survived lor so long. The family had losl hope of ever seeing him
again and were delighted to get hirn back. One of the family was dispalched lo the pel shop lo Collect supplies including
cat shampooll A very unexpected and satisfactory ending_
Thanks goes to Lizzie for the effort she made to catch him so quickly and relum hirn lo his owners.

Raising funds
The Charity rai5e5 funds frorn running Ihree ¢h8rily shops. These shops rely solety on volunteers so all Surplus funds
can be used lo further the charitable puipose of animal welfa￿.
Our incorne streams ar8 not of themselves suificient to cover the cost of our charitable work and must be supplemenled
by income from resetves on a wular basis.
Our income this year exceeded expenditure by more than 10Yo. (Inc￿ne £256.514. Expenditu￿ £232.091.1 Incorn8 h8S
in¢reased upon last year by £130,453. Expenditure has de¢￿ased upon last yeaT by £4,883
Legacies in 2025 have been significanlly higher and Ihis has allowed us to woJk ￿thIn our means for the first time within
six years. Income has been generated through legacies. charily shop income and rentsl income from our flat.
High expenditur8 partscularly in velerinary fees 1£127.4281 is the result of those many requests for financial help from
the public as well as our Commitment to lake tn a5 many animals lor bthich we have spare capacily. Obviously, we rnay
not always be able lo sustsin such a level of spending. This has been supplemented by several lega¢ies this year
incluéing one from our long-terrn supporter and volunteer John Russan has worked lor the branch for MO￿ than 40
years.
The cost of limng conlinues to in¢rease for everyone and Ihis has an itnpact on our suppliers and veterinary costs. Costs
of p81 fo(xl has also increased.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial po$ltion
In Ihe year ended 31 December 2025 the Chaiity had a surplus of £28.942 12024", deficrt £140.764 of incoming
resources against resource5 expended.
Total income ￿ceIVed for the y8ar Wds £256.514 compared to £126.C61 in the pwous financial y88r and is a iesull of
an increase in legacy donats'ons.
This year saw large decieases lo Contribution5 lo RSPCA ￿giOnal fund than in previous years. However. there w8r8
increases across over vanous costs which led to a small decrease in expenditure Ihis year.
Investment polity anil perfomiance
The rnanagement committee has considered the mosl appropriate policy for investing funds and ha5 found that
investing funds in a deposit account. ¥noderale investmenl portfolio and lh￿e investment properties rneets their
requiremenl$. Th8 cornmillee consvjer the relum Ihal they receive on their investments to b8 sa115factory.
The charity has two investment properties in operati￿7 and Ihey ￿nerate¢j in￿rne of £25.44912024.. £26,3171.
The Charity also has inveslmenis held ￿th Rowan Daibnglon %*K) Ihe Chatity adwses to maintain a w)licy of avoiding
adverse financial risk.
This is kept under review annually by the Board.
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the Charity to try and maintsrn a level of free reserves. that a￿ those vnresthct8d funds which are not
invested in fixed assets, designaled for a 5pe¢ific purpose or Othe￿Se committed should be at least 18 fflonths ol
resourTrs expended which equates lo circa £345.000 in general funds. It is the truste8's opinion that thi5 level ol
reserves would be adequate lo maintain uninterrupted se￿l¢eS in the evenl of a rnajor loss in funding.
The lev81 of funds are reMe%%td on a wular basis by the Iiustee's ioJelher ¥￿th known al￿ likely luture demands on

The charity 15 currently holding ￿serveS in excess of the ￿Se￿&S policy. The charity would like to buikl or purchase a
suitabl8 homing centre in future to expand Ihe number ol animals il tan c2re lor. Reserve5 are ¢urrenlly not suffieienl lo
do this but the Tfustee5 continue to monilor.
Going concern
After undertaking appropriate review5 enouiries. lh8 Iru51ees have ￿asOnable 8xpectatson that the Trust has
adequate resources lo continue in existen￿ for the foreseeable future. As with most charitable enlerpri5es. the
continued sucess of the Charity and indeed appropriaieness of the going cOn￿M status is dependent on fulure income

EVENTS SINCE THE YEAR END AND PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
Our work is sustained by the efforts of our lunpaidl Trustees and olher Volunteers. We hav8 no paid employees.
Therefore. all our funds go into our animal welfare work. If we reach a stage when we cannol rely on our unpaid
workers, il would certainly mean a 519nificant reduction in funds lor ihe f¥ont lin8.
We still need lo maintain a reliable slream of income to underpin our work.
Our Vets. fees and boarding costs conlinue to accounl lor ihe majority of our expenditure. Some of our larger branches
ol the RSPCA tun their own animal centres and sanctuaries. In view of our litniled humall resources and constrained
finance5 in typical years where legacies are fewer. thal may never be a wable proposilK)n for Plymouth & South Wesl
Devon. However, we wll strwe to maintain the goal ofachiewng our own centre %then we have suffiuent funds.
Our charity shops are a key eletnenl of our income. Grenville Road continves to be oveThthelmed wlh donations anij still
a¢ts as a feeder distributing ¢Jonaled g(x)d5 to our other iwo shops. Tamstock. our rented shop Continues lo do a good
trade. Wolseley Road has once again achieved sterfsng work, rnainlainin9 our high st￿1 presen¢e in the City throughout
the year thanks to the volunteers May and Gill. Anne Dyer has conbnued lo dear donations arLI stock from Gienville
Road shtsp on a r8gular basis, providin9 good stock when needed lo Wolseley Road..
In addition, the Ihree flats assoctated wth oui two Plymouth shops continued to help fund our work. how8v8r one of our
Grenville Road flats has caused us many problems and major ewen5e and this wll continue to drain our resources in
2026.
Current tenants wntinue to cornplain about damplnNJuld in the property. a problem we have not experienced wth
previous renters. PCC have recommended remedial ￿ and this is now complete.
As we look to th8 year ahead we wll Continue to on helping not only anirna15 coming into our rar8 but to support
owners who find veterinary Costs prohibitive.
