RSPCA- ESSEX SOUTH WEST BRANCH
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The Committee present its reports and the financial statements for the year ended 31st De￿rnber 2020. The
Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 'Accounting and
Reporting by Charities,.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives
The objectives of the Essex South West Branch (the Branch) are to support and adhere to the National
RSPCA Society (the Society) policies and prO￿dureS to promote kindness and to prevent or suppress
cruelty to animals and to do all such lawful acts as the Society may consider to be conducive or incidental to
the attainment of those objects. The objectives of the Branch are with particular referen￿ to the area
covered by the Branch, ranging from Dagenham & Barking in the South to Epping & Nazeing in the North,
Waltham Abbey to the West and Abridge to the East, in accordan￿ with the policies of the Society.
Advancement of animal welfare
Animal welfare concem is our top priority. The Branch recognises animal welfare as a distinctive charitable
purpose and focuses its work on prevention of cruelty, providing veterinary care and treatment to animals in
need, providing supported care with fully trained staff at Goddard Chingford Boarding Kennels (Goddard
Kennels), and re-homing all the animals entrusted into our care to a loving home when a qualified vet has
given them a clean bill of health.
The Branch animal welfare, although local in nature, has a compassionate and ethical approach which
benefits the larger society and continues to help people in need and address issue of animal suffering in
general.
Significant activities
The Branch supports the Society's inspectorate in their work by providing financial assistance and
emergency accommodation for mistreated or abandoned animals, including pets whose owners suffer ill
health or financial difficulties or pass away, in accordan￿ with the Society's standards. On a case-by-case
basis, the Branch will also accept animals from the public, prioritising those cases where the animal is in
distress andlor injured. In cases where the Branch decides not to support the animal we would always look to
advise or re-direct to other charities more suitable for the situation.
All animals under our care, where appropriate, receive veterinary treatments, vaccination, neutering,
micro-chipping and are assessed for rehoming. Vaccinations and neutering help control the incidence and
spread of disease and suffering. The work benefits our local community, including local authorities, as it
reduces the incidence of abandonment and cruelty and the public knows that we assist animals in need.
Public benefit
In shaping the Society's objectives and planning our activities, the trustees have complied with the duty in
Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidan￿ published by the Charities
Commission.
In the interest of the animal, reviewed on a case-by-case basis, the Branch helps members of the public with
veterinary bills where people are on benefits and unable to pay for their pet's treatment. With the aim of
population control to prevent unwanted litters being bom into an uncertain future, we offer free and affordable
neutering treatments to pet owners who are unable to pay in full or in part through the support of C4 Free
Neutering for Cats Scheme. We advocate kindness to animals and provide information and advice to the
local community including young people with the aim of developing empathy to animals at a young age and
prevent cruelty in the future. We work in partnership with local Pets at Home stores for fundraising events.
We establish networking with other charities in sharing knowledge and skills and providing volunteering
opportunities to those who wish to help and participate in all activities that will help us to achieve our work in
animal welfare.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The Essex South West Branch, like all RSPCA branches, is financially independent of the Society, although
we often receive an annual grant from them. Our income derives mainly from donations, collections,
legacies, adoption fees and fundraising events.
At the beginning of the year, we focused on increasing our welfare activities and rehoming. Unfortunately,
due to the rehoming restrictions put in pla￿ as a result of COVID-19, our welfare activities and rehoming
were limited throughout the rest of the year. We adapted to these restrictions by offering a foster to adopt
prO￿ss, to allow the potential adopters, who were unable to meet the cats before being delivered to them, a
chance to make sure they were a suitable match. This is reflected in the increased number of cats in foster
care at the end of the year. The Branch continues to not have an Animal Welfare Officer (AWO) and as a
result no dogs were rehomed.
During the year a total of 22 (2019: 48) animals were taken in, this included 1 dog (2019: 3), 21 cats (2019:
34) and no rabbits (2019: 11).
- We have rehomed no dogs (2019: 3), 24 cats (2019: 12) and no rabbits (2019: 2) from Goddard Kennels.
1 dog (2019: 6), no cats (2019: 14) and 1 rabbit (2019: 8) were transferred out to RSPCA or other animals
centres for rehoming.
3 dogs (2019: 4) and 1 cat (2019: none) were euthanised or died during our care.
1 dog (2019: 4) and 9 cats (2019: none) are in foster care at the year end.
During the year the Branch had a contract with the RSPCA London East Branch to hire six cat pens at
Goddard Kennels. From 1 January 2021 these six pens were hired directly from Goddard Kennels.
Unfortunately, Goddard Kennels permanently closed on 14 May 2021. We are currently in discussion and
negotiation with an altemative boarding and veterinary provider to secure future servI￿s, whilst
simultaneously discussing possibilities with other Goddard branches.
Up until their closure on 14 May 2021, our boarding arrangements for rescued cats, dogs and rabbits with
Goddard Kennels continued to operate satisfactorily, and we would like to thank the management and staff
who gave us tremendous support and assistance in carying out our work in animal welfare.
From March 2020, on-site fundraising events were cancelled due to the COVID-19 restrictions in place. To
increase our online donation presen￿, we set up a CAF and JustGiving page and have encouraged our
approx. 4,000 Fa￿book followers, along with our friends and family, to donate online. Our partnership with
Pets at Home has been very successful, with £2,415 re￿iVed from their Summer and Santa Paws appeals,
along with £225 that we collected from their stores in January to March 2020. We would also like to thank
one of our volunteers, who raised a huge £707 by completing the 1 Ookm by Christmas challenge. In total the
Branch raised £3,387 from fundraising (2019: £908).

A review of investment perfomance is included in the investment section within the financial review section.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Investment policy and objectives
The trustees have wide powers of investment governed and restricted by the Royal Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals Investment Act 1958. The Branch needs to have quick and easy access to the majority
of its funds and so consider the most appropriate policy to hold funds is in a Bank Santander current account.
To increase the return earned on funds, £50,000 is held as income bonds with National Savings and
Investments (NS&I), earning interest at a rate of 1.15% gross per annum, although this has redU￿d to
0.01 % from 24 November 2020.
In light of the current and foreseeable low interest rates in the UK, the trustees consider the future retum on
the Branch's investments to be satisfactory.
Reserves policy
The Branch holds reserves in order that the level of Servi￿ provided for animal welfare is maintained should
there be a reduction in incoming resources. With the Un￿rtaInty in our incoming resources, we have kept our
reserve policy to a level that allows resilience and capacity to manage unforeseen financial difficulties.
Reserves relate to funds that are freely available for the Branch's general purposes or can be restricted if
they are for a specific purpose only.
The trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed and held by the Branch
should be at least twelve months of the resources expended. The resources expended in the year were
£21,878 (2019: £20,369). The Branch has unrestricted reserves represented by net current assets of
£143,151 (2019: £129,927), which covers the resources expended by 6.5 times (2019: 6.4) The adequacy of
the reserves policy is reviewed annually.
Financial review
A net income of £13,224 resulted in the year (2019: £47,950), the reduction is due to not receiving any legacy
income (2019: £34,439). The major items of expenditure remain as boarding fees and veterinary costs.
Stripping out legacy income, total income was up by 4 % compared to last year, with the slight reduction in the
grant from the Society being offset by increased fundraising. Direct charitable expenditure increased by 13 %
compared to last year, due to an increase in the Society regional contributions and extra boarding costs for
additional pens.
There are no restricted funds. Unrestricted funds of £143,151 compared to £129,927 in 2019, are general
funds to meet ongoing operating expenditure. With the uncertainty in our incoming resources, we have kept
our reserve policy to a level that allows resilience and capacity to manage unforeseen financial difficulties. In
light of continued govemment restrictions on rehoming and fundraising activities due to COVID-19, and that
due to the way the Society calculate the amount of our regional contributions this cost will substantially
increase in 2021, we forecast to make a small loss in 2021. However, we enter 2021 with sufficient cash
reserves to cover these losses and to maintain cash reserves at a suitable level. Furthermore, additional
activities have been identified to mitigate the loss and protect legacy cash reserves to invest to sustainlgrow
the Branch in an unprecedented and un￿rtain economic environment, albeit at a lower pa￿ of growth.
Going concern
The trustees assess whether the use of going concem is appropriate, i.e. whether there are any material
uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Branch to
continue as a going concern. The trustees make their assessment in respect of a period of at least one year
from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements.
The board of trustees has a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in
existen￿ for the foreseeable future.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
FUTURE PLANS
With animal welfare being the Branch's top priority, and with the continued government restrictions on
rehoming and fundraising activities, the trustees have agreed to concentrate on a few but effective
operational, tactical and strategic initiatives covering areas such as:
1. Development, finding an alternative venue to Goddard Kennels. In the short term this is likely to be at an
existing cattery, but in the longer term this may involve development of our own cat pens. This particular
investment would be funded by the Branch's cash reserves and corporate sponsorships.
2. Volunteers, to continue our volunteer recruitment drive. This includes new potential trustees and building
on our cat fostering network.
3. Fundraising, to increase methods and channels. This is of particular importance due to our significantly
increased regional contribution cost to the Society in 2021.
4. Marketing and Social Media, for example to produce a quarterly newsletter and to extend membership.
5. Education, currently this is through social media and we hope in the long tem to expand on this through,
for example, visits to schools.
In addition to increasing the Branch's capacity to grow our animal welfare activities and intake of animals,
these initiatives may generate revenue to bolster future income, protect reserves, maintain our liquidity
requirements and enable the reinvestment of broadening our animal welfare. We look forward to continuing
the Branch work with a strong board of trustees and volunteers offering different skills and expertise.

RSPCA- ESSEX SOUTH WEST BRANCH
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The Branch is controlled by its goveming document, a deed of trust. The Branch is constituted as an
unincorporated charitable association. The Branch operates as an autonomous branch of the Society subject
to its rules for branches as updated in 2012 and is separately registered with the Charity Commission.
Organisational structure
Committee members are elected at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) from the members of the Branch.
Each candidate is nominated by at least two eligible branch members and must receive the votes of at least
fifty per cent of the eligible branch members present and voting. All Committee members must be Society
members for a minimum of three months on appointment. Up to three co-opted Committee members may be
Co-opted by the Committee to hold Offi￿ until the next AGM. The Committee may at any time appoint a
rep1a￿rnent Committee member from eligible branch members to fill a causal vacancy. The Committee
members are trustees of the Branch and are briefed on their responsibilities as trustees prior to their
acceptance of the role. The trustees hold meetings every 1-2 months at which decisions are made, tasks are
delegated for actions, risks are assessed and written reports on the Branch's financial position and activities
are reviewed. Minutes of each meeting are kept.
The Society's animal welfare work has traditionally been reported by the Society's Chief Inspector in the
South East 2 Group and the Branch Partnership Manager. However, due to the priorities and restrictions
around COVID-19 and the restructuring of the Society, participation during the year has been limited. All
trustees are volunteers and the trustees cary out their duties on a voluntary basis. The Branch is run entirely
by volunteers.
Induction and training of new trustees
New trustees will attend the Society's training programme for new trustees, after active participation in at
least three trustee meetings.
Risk management
The Branch has carried out a review to identify major risks and has taken steps to mitigate them. The major
risks identified are:
the availability of sufficient funds to cover the costs of animal welfare activities, especially due to the impact
of COVID-19;
insufficient trustees to continue; and
adverse publicity and loss of reputation due to misconceptions of our activities, or due to error or fraud.
As at the date of this report, it is the opinion of the trustees that the Branch's policies, procedures and
controls are adequate to minimise the possibility of financial loss through error or fraud and to maintain the
future financial viability of the Branch.
Related party relationships
As described above the Branch operates as a branch of the Society. Details of transactions with the Society
and other branches of the Society are set out in note 8.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been
prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities:
Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance
with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)
(effective 1 January 2019),, Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements
have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Going concern
The Trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate, i.e. whether there are any
material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of
the charity to continue as a going concem. The Trustees make their assessment in respect of a period
of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements. After making
appropriate enquiries, the Board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the Branch has
adequate resources to continue in existen￿ for the foreseeable future.
Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions
The charity has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial
statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and
Republic of Ireland,:
the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the
funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Investment income is included in the financial statements when re￿ived.
Pecuniary legacies are included in the financial statements when the Branch is legally entitled to the
income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
Online donation income is included in the financial statements net of platform and pro￿SSIng fees.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation
committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be
required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is
accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost
related to the category. Vvhere costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have
been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of reSoUr￿s.
Governance costs

Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordan￿ with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the
trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity.
Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted
purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial
statements.
Debtors and prepayments
Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.
Cash at bank
Cash at bank includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three
months or less.
Liabilities
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the statement of financial position date as a
result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement
and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount
that the Branch anticipates it will pay to settle the debt.
Judgements and estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the financial position date
and the amounts reported in the statement of financial activities during the year. However, the nature
of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates.
The Trustees do not consider there to be any critical accounting judgements, estimates or
assumptions.
