Most of the countries In which we operate went into lockdown, thereby reducing the level of services we could provide. Conditions continued to be challenging into 2021, with our education work still reslricled during the early part of the year. Vvhile the numbers of treatments and educational opportunities were fewer than re￿nt years, we responded lo a greater number of crisis situations. The charity's emergency feeding programme provided food to starving animals, whose owners found themselves unable lo earn a livelihood due lo the collapse of local trade and tourism. Despite the varied challenges of Covid-19, 2020 highlights include.. Donated income rose by 22 per cent thanks to our supporters, with increases in general donations. legacies and appeal income., SPANA vets performed 350,628 treatments for sick and injured animals-, Our community trainer5 improved the skills and knowledge of 47,400 animal owners., SPANA'S education team provided humane education lo 50.888 children., We launched an emergency feeding programme, which supported working animals in six countries and encompa55ed a number of other local feeding inilialives. SPANA'S priorities al the start of the pandemic included the safety of our staff, in the UK and abroad, as well as instigating a series of emergency programmes for animals affected by the crisis. We then began to plan for a future based on potentially reduced income but an increased need for our services abroad. This work included a rigorous examination of our Head Office (London) costs, where a number of savings were identified. As a result of this, together with an especially successful fulldraising year and the recovery of our investment portfolio from losses in 2020, the charity is financially robust. We are now well placed to Carefully increase our charitsble spend, while maximising the use of every donor pound. SPANA currently works in 28 countries around the world, focusing on our Ihree charitable objectives, which are lo.. TREAT - providing free veterinary care for sick and Injured working animals, and also responding lo emergencies, lo get urgent help to animals affected by drought, conff ict and natural disaster,.

However, following a review of our operations in Jordan, the decision was made to liquidate these subsidiaries and to perform our charitable work through partners. The process to liquidate the subsidiaries will be completed in 2021. The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic had an immediate effect on the finances of the charity, with the value of our investments falling in value by £1 m in Mttrch 2020. However, our investments subsequently recovered from these initial losses and the unrealised loss stood at £208,866 al the end of the year. For the working 8nim&ls of the wortd 11 THE SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION OF ANIMALS ABROAD Report of the Councll lincorporatlng the Report ot the Dlrectorsl Forthe year onded 31 December 2020 In response lo the crisis, and ils expected impact on the charily-gtrving market, the charity's Senior Management Team launched a strategic review aimed at implementing cost-saving measures. The Tiustees also led on a restructure of the organisalion. ReseNes olic SPANA holds reserves so that it can continue lo fund ils operations and deliver its ch8rilable objectives if income is impacted by unforeseen events. The reserves are divided into reslricled and unrestricted ftjnds. Total funds in 2020 were £11.025,93412019'. £9,186,725 as re-slatedl. SPANA'S funds comprise both restricted and unrestricted reserves. Reslricled reseTves al 31 December 2020 were £309,017 and are the unspent monies raised for a specific purpose and which Gan only be used for that purpose., full details are shown in Note 12. Total unreslricled reserves on 31 December were £10,716,917 and are those available for general spending, Within total unrestricted funds are designated funds lolalling £1,283,009. Designated funds represent the nel book value of the charity's land and building which is not easily realisable. Remaining free reserves al 31 December 2020 were £9,433,908, representing 57 weeks forward expenditure against a resèrves target of 26 weeks. SPANA'S intention was to use these excess reserves to restructu￿ operations and programmes in line with the five-year strslegic plan so that free reseNes fall within the target range by the end of 2022. Following the continued impact of Covid-19. these plans have been reassessed. Revised forecasts have been prepared and the charity plans lo reduce costs over the forecast period using only £1,650,000 of the available free reserves balance by the end of 2022, thereby reducing free reserves lo approximately £5.1 m. which represents 41 weeks of planned lorward expenditure_ The trustees will continue to monitor the resetves position, including free reseNes. which is one of the key performance indicators reviewed by the ITuslees. Goin concem The ongoing pandemic has had a significant operational and financial impact on the charity and its activities in the UK and abroad. Our activilies have continued, though with some reslriclions, throughout the crisis and action has been taken lo ensure the safety of our employees and those we work with through remote working and sooial distancing. Key risks surrounding the pandemic have been incorporated into our risk management framework and are monitored regularly by the trustees and senior management team. Our response lo the crisis has included-. Placing staff on the government's coronavirus job retention scheme. Removing all non-essential discretionary spend Reslrucluring operations and activities lo reduce the overall wst base in the UK and within overseas projects. A revised forecast has been prepared which considers expected financial perfOMan￿ up to December 2022. This exercise has considered sensitivities and scenario planning over key asstjmptions including fundraising income. staff costs and available reserves. For the working animals of the wortd 12 THE SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION OF ANIMALS ABROAD Report of the Council lincorporatlng the Report of the Dlrectorsl For the year ended 310ecember 2020 ForeGasts show that planned deficits are expected to recur until 2022 with the charity breaking even in the period thereafter. Financial performance and cash flow have continued lo be monitored règularly with a focus on liquidity and available free reserves being of central importance. As parl of this oversight, there is ongoing assessment of fundraising and investment performance and the cash position to ensure SPANA retains sufficient headroom lo fund day-to-day aclivilies. Should performance fall below expectation, additional cost savings and contingencies have been identified to ensure the organisation can continue as a going concern. After consideration of the revised forecasts, sensitivity and scenario planning and the current level of available free reserves, trustees are satisfiÈd that there are no material uncertainties around SPANA'S ability to continue as a going concern and il remains appropriate to prepare the accounts on that basis. Investment owers oli and erformance Monies not immediatety required for SPANA'S charitable purposes are invested into assets and for a term as the trustees think fit and suitable in the context of all relevant circumstances of the charity. The charity's excess funds are currently invested in cash and marketsble securities. The Council has adopted an investment policy that is medium risk, invèsting in both fixed interest funds and equities, and to this end has also issued a statement of the charity's investment policy, the terms of reference for the investment managers, and a statement of the Gharily's ethical policy. SPANA'S investment policy is predicated on the Iruslees, obligation lo safeguard ils assets. Within that requirement, the Investment Managers have authority to invest in order lo maximise the return lo SPANA. However, in doing this. they are directed by SPANA to screen investments from an ethical standpoint in an effort to ensure that investments are not made with companies whose performance might, for instance, be affected by unethical business practices or negative environmental praCtI￿s. The Council considers that the performance of ils investment portfolio was in line with ils policies and overall global stock market conditions in 2020 and against a suitable benchmark for this policy, Prlnci al risks and uncertainties The Council has established a risk management framework for the assessment of major risks lo which the charity is expDsèd. During 2019, the formal of the risk register was updated, and new procedures were developed lo ensure that risks are identified, monitored and subject to ongoing review and oversight For each major risk that is identified, a member of the senior management team is assigned responsibility for identifying the steps needed to marsage or mitigate the risk. All identified risks are reviewed by the senior management team on a quarterly basis lo ensure that any new risks are identified and that appropriate actions proposed to mitigate or manage risks are being undertaken. The risks are also reviewed and assessed by the Iruslees annually and more frequent updates where material changes are identified. In addition, the Finance & Audit Committee reviews the risk ￿gIster every quarter. The most significant risk that has been Identified is the impaot of the Covid-19 virus on the financial and operational resilience of the charity. The Council has agreed to a revised budget lo minimise the financial impact, while management have taken actions to ensure the safety of our staff. For the working animals ofthe world 13 THE SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION OF ANIMALS ABROAD Report of tho Councll lincorporatlng the Report of the Directors) Forthe year ended 31 December 2020 In light of the emergence and spread of Covid-19, SPANA is monitoring the situation closely lo assess the potential impact on ils operations. Management believes that there will be polents'al impact in areas around the business including.. reduced income fall in the value of our investments Cancellation of scheduled events and travel by UK based staff disruption of the services offered abroad. When the initial impact of Covid-19 beceme apparent, our first priorities were to ensure that all our UK based staff.. who were working overseas were repatriated were able lo work effeolively from home. Communications were maintained with our overseas operations lo make sure that their staff were being protected and that SPANA complied with any local reslriclions and measures. As the crisis deepened, actions were taken lo slabilise our finances. which included the creation of a new budget and ulilising the Government's job retention scheme, fulloughing some staff members. These measures ensured that SPANA had sufficient cash lo continue operating, albeit at a reduced level as a result of an expected fall in income. As staled in the Going Concern section, detailed financial planning has been performed lo ensure that SPANA has sufficient reserves to continue to operate in the medium term. This planning identified a number of actions that needed lo be taken, which include a reslruclure that unfortunately resulted in some redundancies, along with a reduced level of funding for our overseas operations. Other major risks that the senior management team have identified include the following.. Effective control over country operations The risk is that the appropriate systems and controls are not in place to understand and manage in- country activities. Fraud, financial mismanagement, nepotism, bribery, and off strategy or inappropriate activities taking place are some of the possible risks, which could lead lo missing or unaccounted funds and damage to SPANA'S reputation where ftjnds have been inapproprialely spent. Controls that exist to mitigate this risk include.. A new standard operation manual is being developed Regular reviews by visiting London based staff New contracts for County Directors that mandate adheren￿ to policies and procedures. ConduGI (including 88fegUa￿{ng, bullying and whistleblowing Goncerns) There is a risk that safeguarding, bullying, whistleblowing issues and any other inappropriate conduct or unwanted behaviour is happening across SPANA locations. With serious misconduct Claims and legal cases, there is a risk that staff lake stories lo the media, resulting in reputational damage should this occur. Controls that exist lo mitigate this risk include..

Safe uardln and whistleblowin SPANA has always placed a high degree of importance on safeguarding issues and, in 2019, we launched a major review of all aspects of safeguarding, both in the United Kingdom and in the countries in which we operate abroad.

The Major Gifts team is responsible for our legacies, trusts and foundations, major donors and corporate fundraising programmes., The Donor Marketing & Digital Fundralsing is responsible for our individual giving programme, which encompasses a comprehensive range of direct mail, retail and digital aclivilies., The Supporter Care team is responsible for supporter engagement lincluding enquiry handling ané response managemenll. datsbase management and community fundraising., The Communications and Brand team is responsible for PR, brand, digital Communications, publications, content, celebrity eng8gement and inlemal communications.

The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic Created significant changes and uncertainty in the external charity fundraising market, with giving from areas such as events, trusts, community and corporate fundraising immediately declining. In response to the initial impact of the coronavirus For the worklng animels of the wortd 18 THE SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION OF ANIMALS ABROAD Report of the Councll {incorporating the Report of the Dlrectorsl For the year ended 31 December 2020 pandemi¢, SPANA'S fundraising budget was reduced by 27gA, while the headcount of fundraising. marketing and communications staff decreased by 19V• as part of an organisation31 restructure. In the response lo the Covid-19 crisis, the fundraising and marketing team slralegically refooused our programme lo ensure we could continue to maximise awareness, support and nel income for the charity on a reduced budget. We also developed a Covid-19 crisis-lhemed strand, culminating in the summer appeal, which gave our donors several opporlunilies to support working animals whose ownèrs and commLJnilies had been hard hit by the local pandemic. Our revised activity programme, coupled with our initial work lo deepen donor loyalty and strategically align the organisalion's fundraising and brand awareness-building aclivily, was instrumental lo ensuring that fundraising and marketing delivered SPANA'S best-ever year for voluntary income. Wnile income in such areas as events, Irusls, community and corporate fundraising was adversely affected by the Covid-19 crisis, the eX￿ptIOnal perfoTmance of our legacies programme, our seasonal appea5s, Happy Hooves retail programme and raffles more than compensated for the shortfall. Our fledgling Australian lundraising programme aSso continued to develop as planned, with income increasing by 3001, despite 8 reduced budgel and the combined impact of both the Covid-19 pandemic and the preceding Australian bush fires. Our active UK donor base comprised 38.297 supporters and organi5alions in 2020, while our acquisition work Iprimarity drwen by spècialist TV advertising, mailings, inserts and digital advertising) secured 3,577 new and reaclivaled supporters. Our active global donor base comprised 6.212 donors- an 8Vo increase on 2019. 2020 was also a highly successful year for our awareness raising activities. Despite a 61 OA decrease in expenditure, the charity's social media audience grew lo more than 360,000 followers by the end of 2020, while our PR activity generated 754 pieces of national and local coverage across titles including the Daily Mail, Daily Express, Daily Mirror, The Sun, The Independent, and MSN.com. Key drivers for coverage included SPANA'S response lo the Covid-19 crisis and our annual International Working Animal Day. The combined circulation figure of our PR coverage was an estimated 139.3 million. Fundraisin and marketin ractices SPANA works to ensure all elements of ils fundraising and marketing PTogramme (including acts'vilies performed on ils behalf by third partie51 fvlly comply with all statutory regulations. The charity is an organisalional member of the UK'S leading fundraising bodies, the Chartered Inslilule of Fundraising and the Fundraising Regulator, plus the influential communications organisalion Charitycomms.

In addition to meeting all legal requirements, SPANA'S fundraising and marketing programme is enhanced by ils commitment to SPANA values, particularly the programme's focus on acting with integrity and treating our supporters and donors with respect. We are committed lo providing the best- possible supporter care, while our fundraising programme deliberately excludes actwities that might be intrusive or problematic for vulnerable people, such as door-lo-door or face-to-face fundTaising. SPANA fundraising and marketing staff are also encouraged to develop their skills and practiGes by attending external training courses and conferences. For the w0￿1ng animals ofthe world 19 THE SOCIETY FOR THE PROTECTION OF ANIMALS ABROAD Report of the Council Ilneorporating the Report of the Directors) For the year ended 31 December 2020 Due lo the Covid-19 crisis, the charity was forced lo move all our fundraising and marketing operations lo a remote model, with all staff working from home. This required the team lo outsource our phone handling and mail response from mid March 2020. While this was a significant operational challenge, overall this change was implemented successfully and this working model continued to run throughout the rest of the year. All complaints about our fundraising and marketing programme are responded lo individually and help Inform our approach to future activities. In 2020, the charity recorded ?79 fundraising complaints, which was down from the 233 received in 2019. The majority of these concerned mailing and fulfi'lment issues relating lo orders made lo our retail programme1531, while issues donating on our website was the second most common area of complaint 1341. 40 complaints eoncerned aspe¢ls of our direct mail appeals, representing less than 0.1 per cent of the volume of direct mail appeals sent. All complaints were ultimately resolved by SPANA and none were escalated to the Charity Commission or any external source. All Ihird-paty contractors working on behalf of SPANA are asked lo fully adhere lo all statutory regulations regarding fundraising, as well as SPANA'S own best practice guidelines. The charity monitors fundraising activities conducted on ils behalf by third parties through a variety of means. For example, the activity of our direct mail programme is monitored by members of SPANA staff who are included in our mailing lists and receive the same appeals as OL¢r supporters. SPANA is unaware of any failure, either by the organisalion or any third parties operating on its bohalf, to comply with any fundraising or marketing regulations or standards during 2020.

The laws and r8gulatlons W8 considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006 together with the Charities SORP IFRS 1021. We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regijlations as part of our audit procedures on the related f inancial stalgment items. In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements bul ¢omplian¢e with which might be fundamental to the charitable company's and the group's ability to operate or lo avoid a materlal penalty. We also ¢onsidered the opportunitk and incentives that may exist within the charitable company and the group for fraud. The laws and regulations wè considered in this context forthe UK operations were compliance with the requirements of the Fundraising Regulator, Gambling Commission, veterinary service regulations and General Data Protection regulations. We also considered compliance wlth local legislation forthe group's overseas operallng segments. Auditing standards limit tha required audit procedures lo identify nDn-complian¢e wth these laws and regulations lo enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of ￿gUlatOry and legal correspondence, if any. We identified the greatest riskof material impact onthe financial statements from irrggularities, including frdud. to be within the timing of recognition of donation. legacy, investment and other income. aulhurisalion and approval of payments lo overseas branchgs, partners and other non-UK entities and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond lo these risks included gnquirigs of management and the Finance & Audit Committee about their own identification and assessment of the risks of Irregularities, sample testing on the posting of joumals, reviewing accounlirg eslimales for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence wth the Charity Commission and reading mlnutes of meetings of those charged with governance. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detect some material misslalemenls in thè f inancial slatemenls, even though we have propedy planned and perfomgd our audit in accordance wth auditing standards. For example, thg further removed non- compliance wth laws and regulations lirregul8ri1iesl is from the events ond transactions reflgcled in the financial statements, the Igss likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would i¢Jenlify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non4eteclion of irregularities, as these may involve collusion. forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresenlalions, or the override of inlemal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expeGted lo delect nonHcompllance with all laws and legulations.
