Its mission is to work with horses, horse owners. communitie5, organisations and governments to help improve welfare standards and stamp out suffering in the UK and worldwide. The Charity accomplishes thi5 through upholding its values- to be realistic in it5 approach, focusing on the practical to achieve what is possible now while mindful of the future,. compassionate in its attitudes, behaviour5 and decision-making; and forward-thinking in anticipating challenge and change, always seeking new ways of being more effective. World Horse Welfare plans for 2021 To assist in the delivery of the charitable objectives, the plans for 2021 were: Developing a pilot project on how to engage a hard to reach community to prevent equine overbreeding Overhauling data gathering and storage within its UK processes to enhance analysis Campaigning for more effective enforcement of equine-related legislation in the UK 3nd pressing for licensing of equine welfare establishments Pa9e 5 WORLD HORSE WELFARE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 Enhancing the user experience and staff processes behind rehoming and associated communication5 Continuing to contribute evidence to the ongoing review of transport legislation in the UK and EU Evolving the social licence concept in equestrian sport Influencing COVID-19 related emergency support through establishing partnerships in the development sector Advancing an evidence base on the contribution of working equids to the Sustainable Development Goals Actlvlties carrled out durlng the year The Trustees, report on performance in achieving these plans Is set out below. UK The UK Office handles calls from the public, coordinating the work of the Field Officers and Rescue and Rehoming IR&RI Centres and giving advice, producing educational information in a range of formats. The Charity also works closely with other agencies, including the RSPCA, Police and Trading Standards, in identifying and resolving welfare cases. Rescue ond Rehoming There are four R&R Centres in the UK, specialising in rescuing and rehabilitating horse5 which have been found in states of neglect or having suffered abuse. At the year-end 2,14612020: 2.0191 horses were in homes approved by the Charity. In 2021, 319 12020- 2851 new horses were taken into care, 151 12020.. 1471 were returned from previous loan homes and 37812020: 3561 horses were successfully re-homed. The Charity continues to See large group admissions to the Centres making up a considerable proportion of cases being admitted. As the statistics above show the centres have managed to continue admitting and rehoming horses despite the ongoing impact of COVID-19. Field Officers have been able to resume attendance at non- emergency welfare cases and in-person checks on horses that are out with rehomers. However, the use of video communication has been a positive development for the Charity and a review is underway looking at how that could be best continued. UK processes and supportin8 Svstems have been redeveloped to enhance analysis and streamline data gathering and storage. in compliance with current legislation. This included work to collect additional information on the type of premises that are visited in the course of investigations into welfare reports, such a5 whether the premise5 are commercial or private. As well as enhancing the back-end processes, the Charity also developed new supporter-facing, web-based forms for reporting of welfare concerns and enquiries relating to the rehoming scheme. and ongoing work is looking at mappin8 enhancements to enable more efficient travel for Field Officers and Rehoming Officers. Education The programrne of Welfare Wednesday educational webinars. initiated during COVID-19, continued throughout the year on a bi-weekly basis in Spring and Autumn. Over the summer a monthly series Pag8 6 WORLD HORSE WELFARE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 focused on equine mental well-being was developed and run with the University of Nottingham. These webinar5 continue to attract a wide. geoEraphically-distributed audience and hundreds and sometimes thousands of replays on YouTube. The content ofsome of these webinars continue to be repurposed into website blogs. To advance the Charity's aim for a wider educational offering, it commissioned a consultant tied to the University of Edinburgh to work with the Charity to develop an international SLtrvey to ascertain educational preferences and needs among people interested in horses. The survey results will be used in 2022 to help inform development of the Charitvs education Strategy. A key objective of the year was to develop a pilot project to discourage overbreeding by owners who were identif led a5 hard to reach. and this was partially fulfilled through a partnership developed with the Farming Community Network and Farmwell, organisations which support farmers who are struggling with any number of issues. The Charity established these relationships and is seeking to promote them by signp05ting appropriate services. The Charity also developed web pages to appeal to members of this audience or those who are concerned for them which are due to be made live in 2022. The multi-organisation group which was established to look at equine weight management issue5 continued its work throughout 2021. culminating in the establishment of five different working groups who will meet durin8 2022 to review relevant research and start to pull together consistent messagin8 on various aspects of this challenging topic. International The restrictions around COVID-19 remained In place for much of 2021 and continued to affect the implementation and management of the Charity's international programme. The Charity implemented andlor funded 22 projerts in 18 countries12020: 17 projects and 17 countries). Five of these proiects were funded from the Small Grants Scheme, that 15 used to explore new sltuation5 usually in new locations or countries. There were two projects in Tanzania, two in Zambia and one in South Africa. The results of these interventions will be analysed early in 2022 but initial indications are that several of the organisations have shown the potential to be effective long.term partners. Figures collected from the other 17 longer term projects show that ways are being found to work in the COVID-19 affected environment. The number of equids helped by the Charity's trained service provider5 was 74,75012020.. 45,5001. The number of recorded field treatmentslinterventions was 19,25012020: 9,5001. The number of equids helped directly through the Charity's project5 wa5 21,500 12020: 11,8001. The total UK technical advisory days. which are counted as those in which a UK based advi50r visits a project was zero12020: 101. Increased priority was given to research with an empha5i5 placed on developing a demonstratable relationship on the contribution of working equids to the livelihood5 of their owners and the Sustainable Development Goals. Other subjects that could be of immediate use on the project were Iso followed up. In partnership with the University of Nottingham data was gathered in Colombia using 24 focus groups in eight regions of the country. A thematic analysis of this data was carried out and the analysis identified three overarching themes of physical environment, social environment, Page 7 WORLD HORSE WELFARE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDEO 31 DECEMBER 2021 and hor5e-human relationship. that diredly or indirertly affect working equid welfare. A poster on this part of the research w35 presented at the One Welfare World Conference in September where it won first prize. Several papers on research carried out by people associated with the Charity were published in open acce55 journals during the year. One of these papers was on the results of a COVID-19 survey that had been carried out across the Charitls international programme. The paper investigated the effect of COVID-19 on the welfare of working equid owners and their equids and was widely read. Evidersce taken from this paper was used to influence stakeholders in several countries to consider the needs of working equids and those who depend on them when providing support for the effects of COVID- 19. A key aim for the year was to build re13tionships with other stakeholders in the development sector to influence them to provide the level of support to equid owning communities that the Charity does not have the resources to cover. This aim was achieved in Senegal where a relationship was built with the Rufisque Livestock Department to persuade a large feed manufacturer to provide subsidised feed to equid owners. Oaxaco University in Mexico undertook a survey of equid owners and designed the strategy to work with the Oaxaca Equine Welfare Programme to provide timely feed supplements and vet care to working equids that were undernourished. And in Nepal the Charity's partner organisation worked with local authorities to provide feed to equids in the western part of the country that are suffering because of a 51ow-down in the tourist industry. Whilst international travel by the Charity's UK based staff was not Possible during the year, regional variations in restrictions did allow for limited travel by the Charity's Regional coordinators. This was particularly helpful in Lesotho. where the Regional Coordinator and Project Coordinator were able to visit and make recommendations to avoid the project stallin8. Video conferencing platforms have been extensively used to provide trainin8 to partner staff by UK based personnel, BEVA Trust veterinarians and staff from the University of Nottingham. An important initiative has been the provision of training and support on Human Behaviour Change. This has taken the form of a serie5 of webinars. that are on-going, that have been presented by an expert from the University of Nottingham. The Regional Coordinator has also led several interactive webinar5 With teams in the Central America region on how policies are used and the effect that they can have on development. It is the intention that this sort of training will encourage and equip the partner team5 to become more involved in influencing or lobbying activities. The Charity supported two influencing related initiatives in Africa during the year. Working with the International Coalition for Working Equids and World Animal Protection, agreement was reached with the African Union Inter-African Bureau for Animal Resource5 IAU-IBARI to provide fundinE for an extra post to develop an Animal Welfare Strategy for Africa. There is general agreement within AU-IBAR that such a strategy is needed but progress in taking it forward has been slow due to lack of resources. The Charity has also been taking an active part, a5 well a5 providing funds, for an initiative to have a re501ution adopted by United Nation Environment Programme= "recognising that anirnals are an important part of ecosystems, and that ecosystems are balanced by nature if allowed to self- regulate. but detrimental impart5 on animals or their habitats can harm nature and our natural Page 8 WORLD HORSE WELFARE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 environment in variou5 ways". The Charity ha5 been part of a coalition of animal welfare organisations that have been developing and drafting the resolution document and lobbying governments 3cross the world to adopt it at UNEA-5.2 in February 2022. In Nicaragua, the government continued to make it difficult for foreign organisations to support initiatives in the country, therefore the Charity is working through it5 Slster organisation, the Brooke Hospital for Animals in Central America to help deliver the project. In Haiti, the UK Aid Match IUKAMI funded project has continued to be succe55fully implemented despite COVID-19 restrictions, political and social unrest following the assassination of the country's President, a devastating earthquake in a region adjacent to the project area and an economy that is collapsin8. Campaigning The Charity's campaigning, significantly impacted during 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, gathered steam throughout 2021. The Charity worked with vigour to make the most of the significant opportunities presented in both the UK and EU to improve animal welfare legislation across a range of areas, including in transport, equine identification and enforcement. Separately, a new Parliament in Scotland and Senedd in Wales enabled the Charity to engage policymakers, sUPPOrters and political representative5 on these topics and train their focus on improving equine welfare. UK In 2021 the UK Government published an attion plan on animal welfare, with opportunities to Improve a wide range of legislation for equines. Consultations on improving welfare during transport launched by the governments of Scotland. England and Wales provided the Charity with the opportunity to set out the factors which most impart equine welfare during transit and recommendations for improved legislation and enforcement. The Charity also produced an extensive. evidence-based report and recommendations to inform policy. The CharitW5 Positions had the support of the British Horse Society and were aligned. as much a5 possible, with the rest of the equine sertor to help ensure a cohesive case was presented. The Charity also led on the British Horse Councils, written evidence to the Envlronment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee inquiry into 'Moving Animals Across Borders,, and provided oral evidence of 'horse smuggling, and the need for joined up systems and digitisation of ID to addre55 it. Similar evidence was provided to the Committee scrutinising the Animal Welfare (Kept Anima151 Bill. Throughout the year the Charity continued to meet with Defra to discuss improving welfare at slaughter regulation5, transport legislation and the government's proposed ban on live export for slaughter to determine how such a ban could be enforced for equines. The Charity a150 coordinated the development of a British Horse Council position paper on improvements that should be made to future legislation on equine ID, which wa5 Shared with Defra and the Welsh and Scottish Governments. To help achieve the Charitws objective to improve enforcement of equine welfare laws, it partnered with the All-Party Group for Animal Welfare, the Local Government Animal Welfare Group and the RSPCA to develop a proposal for a new. regional animal welfare enforcement model. It also worked closely with NGOS on the Anima15 (Fixed Penalties) Bill to ensure any changes to enforcement penalties still safeguard welfare. While a consultation on the licenting of animal welfare Page 9 WORLD HORSE WELFARE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 organisation5 in England was postponed, the Charity produced a briefing on the topic in readiness for the anticipated consultation in 2023. The ChaTlty also focused its campaigning artivity on Scotland and Wales by developing country- specific manifestos for equine welfare and sending these to political candidates asking them to pledge their support. Following the election5. the Charity launched a campaign for supporters in these countries to encourage their elected representatives to take the pledge. In Wale5, the Charity helped to establish a formal equine working group of the country's Animal Welfare Network, which will initially aim to influence Welsh government policy on improved equine identification. In Scotland, the Charity had several meetings with the Cabinet Secretary and other sector stakeholders to highlight opportunitie5 for the upcoming Parliamentary term including digitising equine ID and improving welfare during transport. Scotland also published licencing legislation for which the Charitv expects to help inform draft guidance. EU In response to the European Commission's commitment to review all EU animal welfare legislation, the Charity produced a wide-ranging and evidence-based report on the deficiencies of the existin8 Transport RegLrlation and recommendations for changes. By invitation, it provided initial and then formal evidence regardin8 the risks of transport to equine welfare to the European Food Safety Authority to inform their review of EU transport law. With the European Horse Network and Eurogroup for Anima15, the Charity also provided feedback on all stages of the report of the European Parliament Committee scrutinising the problems with current animal transport laws. As part of the EC review of animal welfare laws, the Charity responded to Consultations on the fitness of current regulations as regulations regarding transport, welfare at slaughter and the keeping of equines on farm and provided evidence to their impact assessment. Promoting the need for an improved, digitised system of equine ID, it worked with the European Horse Network to provide a legislative proposal on EV recommending a fully di8ltalised system. The Horse and Donkey Guides developed by the voluntary initiative on responsible ownership and care of Equidae under the EU Platform on Animal Welfare, which had been translated into more than six languages, were uploaded to the Platform's official web51te. With the new mandate of the Platform in 2021. the equine sub-group was reinvigorated with new members. The Charity presented at the MEP Horse Group Annual Conference in Brussels, which was opened by the President of the European Commission. Ursula von der Leyen. It also provided evidence on horse welfare in equestrian sport at a hearing in the French Parliament. Internotionol The Charity became founding members of the World Federation for Animals, which aims to advocate for animals in the United Nations and maximise the efforts and resource5 of the animal protection movement. Separately, as members of the International Coalition for Animal Welfare (with the Page 10 WORLD HORSE WELFARE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 Charity'5 CEO currently serving as Chairl, the Charity provided feedback to the draft OIE Chapter on welfare at slaughter. with a special focus on including the latest scientific evidence on best practices. The Charity also worked with other coalitions and NGOS to host events to raise awarenes5 of working equids in achieving the SL15tainable Development Goals ISDGsl. In cooperation with The Donkev Sanctuary and as part of the Working Animal Alliance. it co-hosted two side events World Water Week and also attended COP26, to bring the contribution of working equids to new audiences of development policymakers. In addition, together with the International Coalition for Working Equids and Eurogroup for Animals. the Charity hosted an online event during European Sustainable Development Week.

The Charity therefore continued its programme of increased online communication5 With supporters, rehomer5 and the public while also promoting key themes including the need for horse sport to maintain a social licence to operate. Medio Oespite the pandemic, the Charity still managed to attract almost £3 million in media coverage. Public relations scandals in horseracing, including the widely publicised photo of Gordon Eliot and BBC Panorama expose on the fate of former Irish racehorses, enabled the Charity to put a spotlight on the need for horse sport to demonstrate respect for their horses and take care of them from birth to death to maintain their social licence to operate. Coverage of the Charity's views appeared on BBC Online, 88CI, BBC Radio 4 and 5 Live. Sky Sports News. the Irish Field and the Racing Post. After a hiatus during COVID-19 lockdowns, courts reopened and prosecutions for welfare offences resumed, leading to coverage of some the largest welfare cases the Charity helped to resolve in the previous two years. It5 involvement in rescuing dozens of horses from a failed sanctuary in Wales featured in the Daily Express and ITV. while a similar number rescued from a Welsh breeder featured on BBC Online, ITV and The Daily Post. Additionally, coverage of the sentencing of an owner from a farm in Surrey attracted coverage by the BBC, the Daily Mail and The Daily Telegraph. Coverage In equine media was also strong during the year. with the Charity appearing regularly in Horse & Hound, Horse & Rider and Your Horse magazine as well a5 in a wide ran8e of veterinary publications, where it commented on a number of topics, including the welfare of horses in the wake of the Tokyo Olympics during the women's Modern Pentathlon. Local and regional coverage of the Visitor Centres focused on their reopening and the stron8 rehoming performance during COVID-19. Social medio. emoil ond web51te The Charity continued to use social media to engage with its supporters and the public in 2021, adding Tik Tok to its list of channels. which also includes Linkedln, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. Facebook likes increased by more than sk to almost 214k during the year, Twitter followers increased to just over 39k, Instagram following increased by 3.8k to over 24.5k, and YouTube views rose to over 30 million. The Charity also diversified its YouTube following of 60k subscribers, creating a new Charity channel dedicated to education. and also created one for the International Coalition for Working Equids. The Charity continued its pro8ramrne. commenced during COVID-19. of keeping in touch with supporter5 more frequently through emails feattrring news, appeals, surveys and advice sent at least twice per month. Additional blogs and news items were added to the website and promoted across the Charitrf5 digital channels. Rehomers of the Charitvs horses also continued to receive dedicated emails on a regular basis, which offered seasonal and general horse care advice and information. The Charity redeveloped or Page 13 WORLD HORSE WELFARE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 Created additional materia15 for rehomers, welcome pack5 which now include more information, in a digital format, than ever before. On the website, an enquiry form for rehoming was developed to help answer potential rehomers, m05t frequent questions and signpost them to information thev need before making their application. Data was also extrarted on unsuccessful applicants and analysis begun to help inform more tailored communication5 for this important audience. Film While opportunities to film were constrained due to recurrent lockdowns due to COVID 19, a total of 11 new films and animations were made, in addition to 13 educational Welfare Wednesday webinars, an animation to promote the Welsh and Scottish campaigns, a public affairs video and webinar featuring speakers f rom acr055 the globe and the live streaming of the Charity's annual conference. Several of the new films featured case studies highlighting the complexity of some rescue5 and the scale of the rehabilitation needed for these horses to prepare them for new homes, while others focused on supporting fundraising appeals for Sponsor a Stable Yard and the Big Give. Print and Publicotions The Charity's three newsletters were produced in-house, as was a Spon50r a Stableyard appeal and new promotions as well as the updates sponsors receive as part of the product. As the Visitor Centres prepared for reopening, updated 5igna8e was produced. including promotional signage for the Stable Yard appeal. Other materials produced included educational graphics for Social media, campaign manifest05 for Wale5 and Scotland and materials for the annual Conference, including POP Ups highlighting the Charitvs involvement in horse sport. Conference For the first time, the Charity's annual conference was held In a hybrid lin-person/virtuall format. The theme of the event was 'Whose opinion matters?, which attracted speakers and hundreds of attendees from all over the globe representing government. media, sport, racing. veterinary medicine, academia, NGOS and industry. as well as covera8e in the equine and horse sport media. Revlew of the Year Finonciol Overall the Charity recorded a surplus of £1.68m12020: deficit of £477kl: a surplus of £505k12020'. deficit of £690kl before investment gains of £1.18m12020: £213kl. COVID-19 has continued to affect the Charit(s financial performance, particularly in relation to fundraising. Total income rose to £8.5m12020.- £7.4ml an increase of 16% on the previous year, but this was almost entirely due to an increase in legacies, whilst direct fundraising and other forms of income have remained flat. Not being able to plan or hold many of the Charity's regular f undraising events coupled with the Visitor bein8 closed until mid-August depressed income below normal levels. Total expenditure for the year was £8.Om12020: £8.Oml. The Charity continues to not undertake overseas travel and much UK based travel contuse to be suppressed by restrictions and new ways of working. Details of charitable expenditure are set out in note 6 on page 34. The Charity continues to respond to the challenge of COVID-19 by ensuring that operations continued within the confines of the latest Government regulations and guidance. Staff based in Head Office Page 14 WORLD HORSE WELFARE REPORT OFTHE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 worked partly from home and staffing levels within Head Office were limited when restrictions dictated this. Farm operations largely reverted to pre COVID-19 with additional safeguards put in place as and when necessary- for example staggered break times to limit the number of people in indoor areas. Field Officers varied their level of response based on current restrictions and this was tailored by geographical area. Some physical rehoming checks resumed but the Charity continue5 to make use of online checks, which have proved to be effective as well as saving travel time and costs. The Visitor Centres reopened in August 2021 and a new ticketing system was operational that allowed visitor numbers to be tracked and if necessary limited. It is encouraging that visitors have returned to support the Charity and by introducing a small entry change at three locations the ticketing system is providing a new stream of income as well. The Charity has retained the £lm Coronavirus Busine55 Interruption Loan obtained in 2020 to avoid potentially having to cash in investments to cover cashflow. Whilst interest rates remaln low this provldes a useful cushion against ongoing uncertainty. At the year end the Charity had total funds of £33.Im12020.. £31.4ml. These were represented by fixed assets of £13.3m12020'. £13.6ml which is principally the four UK Centres that are required to provide ongoing care to the equines that are in the Charity's care at any one time, investments of £12.2m12020.. £11.Iml, net csjrrent asset5 £8.4m12020'. £7.8ml. and long term liabilities of £0.8m 12020.. £1.Oml. Current assets Include £4.Om 12020.. £4.5ml for residuary legacies. The Trustees regard the financial position of the Charity as strong, with free reserves above the target reserve5 range, and no going concern issues that need to be addressed. Although the budget for 2022 is less cautious than the one set for 2021, it remalns conversative in terms in fundraising income and expenditure, ensuring that resource5 are prioritised in those areas that will meet the objectives set for the year. Fundraising performance will be monitored over the coming months with a view to increasing investment in carefully considered target areas. Uncertainty exists within the budget with re8ards to income achievable in 2022 as this will depend on what government restri¢tion5 are in place throu8hout the year. The Charity Ss mana8ing this by monitoring income and cost5 carefully and ensuring that potential deficits can be managed comfortably within the level of reserves held. Regular monitoring and reforecasting of financial results will continue throughout the year. Fundraising The Charity is grateful for the continued generosity of its supporters throughout 2021 as this challenging period continues. This of course includes those who remembered it in their will as legacv income is crucial to its work. As such. the Charity continues to promote the benefits of rememberin8 World Horse Welfare in wills. For the second year in a row the Charity participated in the Bi8 Give Christmas Challenge. This is an annual matched giving campaign focusing on a specific project, which in 2021 was the rescue of IS thoroughbreds that had been left at a Devon farm following their owner's evittion. Such an operation is a lengthy and expensive process, and the response wa5 Staggering, the Charity reached its funding target in just 31 hours with almost 200 individuals donating. Pag8 15 WORLO HORSE WELFARE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 The Charity's appeal focus for 2021 wa5 Sponsor a Stableyard. the successor to the Charity's Adoption Scheme, which gives supporters the opportunity to 5UPPOrt horses at the four centres by making a regular donations to fund the stable-yards that are at the heart of the Charity's rehabilitation process with horses that come into its care. The appeal featured the story of Violet, a mare in terrible condition who gave birth to a filly foal named Rose just three weeks after arriving at Hall Farm. Thanks to the diligent care of the Charl￿S grooms both Violet and Rose are now thriving. Several major equine events that the Charity would normally have a presence at were cancelled in 2021. It was diff icult to plan anything more than very small-scale events, and even these efforts were frustrated by changing regulations. The Charity did manage to attend the London International Horse Show in December as well as a lunch hosted by the Sir Peter O'sullevan Charitable Trust- a valued and long-term supporter of the Charity. The reopening of the Visitor Centres was an opportunity to review how they can best support fundraising efforts by encouraging greater en8agement with its work and making clear the ways in which supporters can offer support. The introduction of a small entry fee at three of the centres is believed to have led to greater engagement and is accompanied by the opportunity to experience the work of the Charity at closer range with a serie5 of farm tours and other activities put on. The development of the Visitor Centre experience will continue in 2022 with special events planned for those who Spon50r a Stableyard and current members. Risk monogement The Trustee5 have assessed the identified major risks to which the Charity is exposed, grouping them into the following categories.. Finance People Environment Technologv Image The plans and strategies for managing risks are to identify key risks and assess them for likelihood and impact, the Charitws tolerance of each risk is graded, and appropriate mitigation measures are defined. Risks and the effectiveness of mitigation measures are reviewed on a rolling basis so that all areas are re-a55essed at least once a year. This risk register is managed by the Executive, reviewed by the General Purposes and Finance Committee, and approved by Council annually. As a result, the Trustee5 are 5at15fied that adequate systems are in place to manage the adverse effects of any such risk exposure, recognising that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed. Reserves policy Total funds as at the 3151 December 2021 equalled £33.Im12020: £31.4ml. £127k of this were funds held for restricted purposes12020: £128kl. and £13.3m12020= £13.6ml relates to the carrying value of fixed assets required by the Charity to provide ongoing care for the equine5 in its care Page 16 WORLD HORSE WELFARE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 The Trustees reviewed the re5erve5 policy, taking into account future income projections and expenditure plans in line with the strategic plan together with the associated risk5 and opportunities, particularly within the context of COVID-19. As a result of this review the reserves policy was retained as follows. To maintain a level of reserve5 that will enable the Charity to adjust to any significant Change in resources through unplanned events". The Trustees define the reserves level in terms of a range of between 10 and 12 months of operational expenditure. Based on the 2022 budget this indicate5 an ideal free reserve range of £8.5rn-10.2m. At the end of 2021 the Charity held"free" reserves of £15.7m comprising investments and net current assets excluding legacies, and le55 long term liabilities. The Trustees anticipate that any Surplus will be used to fund the strategy and for planned investment project5 including the future redevelopment at Hall Farm. Given the current climate and the uncertainty around the scale of future COVID-19 restrictions on the Charitrfs ability to fundraise. the Trustees are of the opinion that the current level of reserves is in line with poli(v and is satisfactory. The Trustees will continue to review both the reserves policy and the level of "ideal" reserves on a regular basis through the General Purposes and Finance Committee. Investment pollcy and performance The Trustees have reviewed and retained the Charity investment policy. which states.. Yhe Trustees of World Horse Welfare wish to pursue a policy that provides revenue for it5 current purposes and enhances income and capital growth over the longer term. thereby enobling them to meet their current and future objectives in accordance with the pvrposes of the Charity. The Trustees, in delegating their investment management to Newton Investment Management Limited, require the Managers to pay attention to the standard investment criteria. namely the suitability of the class of investment and the need for diversification insofar as is appropriate to the circumstances of the Charity. The Trustees have a duty to optimise financial returns for the Charity. However, where justified, the Trustees may exclude certain types of investment from the investment portfolio. In addition, the Trustees require that the investment managers do not knowingly invest in companie5 Involved in the transport of live animals for slaughterf. During 2021 the investment portfolio generated total revenue of £137k {2020.. £113kl. Given prevailing market conditions in the year, the Trustees viewed thi5 performance as satisfactory. Plans for the future The Charity's Strategic plan is scheduled to run until the end 2024. The plan identifies four discrete goals.. To promote responsible ownership of all equines through both prevention and intervention To ensure responsible use of horses in sport and entertainment To end long-distance transport of horses for slaughter and ensure humane slaughter To improve the live5 of working equids to support the livelihoods of their owners. To help achieve these goals the plans sets out four areas of activity: Caring- to provide relief to equines in immediate need Researching- to understand the causes of equine welfare challenges and using evidence to inform our work Pag8 17 WORLD HORSE WELFARE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 Education-to support and improve the horse-human partnership Influencing- to advocate and campaign to achieve long-lasting change in equine welfare. In line with the Charit￿5 strategic plan, the key projects for 2022 are.. 11 E5tabli5h a bespoke communications and stewardship programme for unsuccessful rehoming applicants 21 Develop work with vulnerable horse owners through promoting services and those of public agencies 31 Complete an education strategy and roll-out 'fast fact, handouts for key welfare issues 41 Advance communications with horse 5POrt through the development of practical resource5 around the social licence concept 51 Work in partnership to promote a new regional structure and funding model for enforcement of animal licencing and welfare legislation 61 Influence UK and EU policy on equine transport by providin8 an evidence base for practical change and promotin8 a frictionless and fully digital equine ID system 71 Establish a project in Romania designed to support wider advocacy work in the EU 81 Work through ICWE and other partners to promote the adoption of a UN resolution on animal welfare and to advance an animal welfare strategy for Africa 91 Enhance the capacity of the Charitvs international partner or8ani5ation5 to work in partnership with the human development sector stakeholders The current COVID-19 situatlon. although not as impactful as this time last year, undoubtedly creates uncertainty over restrictions on the Charitls 2022 operations. Accordingly, resources have been prioritised to the projects above that have been planned with the potential restrictions in mind, and new ways of working developed over the last two year5 will continue to be engaged to ensure that they are delivered upon.
