The Branch is administered by a committee. The committee members, elected atthe AGM, or co- opted by the committee, are its Trustees for the purpose of charity law and are referred to as Trustees throughout this report. All Tru5tee5 are briefed on their responsibilities as trustees prior to their acceptance of the role. The committee meets regularly for the purpose of dealing with the branch affairs and to receive reports from its Officers. The Trustees review the risks that the charity faces on a regular basis. The major risks to the Branch as identified by the trustees have been reviewed and steps taken to mitigate them are.. Loss of income, including through error or fraud. Irbsufficient trustees for the branch to continue. It is the opinion of the Trustees that the Branch's policies. procedures, and controls are adequate to mitigate finan¢ial10sS through error or fraud and to maintain the future financial viability of the Branch. The Branch is run entirely by volunteers and all fund5 are either raised by volunteers or come from donations or legacies, except a small rebate of membership 5ub5criptions from the Society's central fund5 and reimbursement from the Regional Board as and if agreed, for specific projects.

Branch Objectives and Public Benefit Statement The objectives of the Branch are to promote the work and objertives of the Society that are to promote kindness to and to prevent or suppress cruelty to animals by all lawful means with particular reference to the area of the Branch, in accordance with the policies of the Society.
Trustees Annual Report (continued) For the Year Ended 31 December 2023 The Trustees have reviewed the outcomes and achievements of the objectives and activities for the year. to ensure they remain focused on their charitable aims, and continue to deliver benefit5 to the public. They have complied with the duty the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Commission. Advancement ol Animal Welfare Under the Charities Act 2011, the advancement of animal welfare is recognised as a distinct statutory charitable purpose. Thi5 legislation and the Animal Welfare Act of the same year indicate an acceptance by society that treating living Creatures with compassion has a moral benefit for the public as a whole. Whilst this public benefit is clear. it is sometimes difficult to quantify and must be balanced against any detriment. The 8ranch'5 animal welfare work, although local in nature, benefits society at large, and aims to help people in need with the care of their anima15. All our charitable activities focus on promoting kindness and preventing or suppressing cruelty to animals and are undertaken to further these purposes for the public benefit. Charitable Activities pursued for the Public Benefit We provide financial support towards veterinary treatment costs for animals that are sick or injured and belong to local people on low incomes. We do this through the operation of a voucher scheme. This work provides assistance to those on means tested benefits by giving them financial help to obtain care for companion animals in need of veterinary treatment. We also help on an exceptional basis to pay veterinary costs for unowned animals in our area that are involved in accidents that are emergency cases. The Branch is also focused on the active promotion of neutering and microchipping for companion animals for those people living in the branch are3 on low incomes through the issue of vouchers. We provide re-homing and f05tering services where possible for both unowned and companion animals that come via the Inspertors, members of the public or l(Kal veterinary practices. We respond to enquirie5 Iboth direct and via the Societrfs national call centrel from the public about animals in our area. The public benefits from knowing that we will help anima15 in need, where POS5ible. We offer free animal care advice by holding events and answering enquiries. The public benefits through the promotion of responsible pet ownership. Within the terms of our governing document, we support the National Society, other Branches, the RSPCA Inspectors, local veterinary practices and other local animal charities. We provide volunteering opportunitie5 for those who wish to support our work, including trusteeship, f05tering, and fundraising. Thi5 benefits local people and companies by providing the possibility of doing work which is compassionate and rewarding.
Trustees Annual Report (continued) For the Year Ended 312023 Achievements and Performance 2023 has been very busy for the branch in all area5 of animal welfare we help with. The cost-of-living crisis has had the greatest impact this year. Prices rising in all area5 including food and energy bills has resulted in less money available towards the cost of veterinary treatment for animals owned. The demand for our financial support from people in our area on low incomes ha5 therefore increased significantly. This increase in demand. together with the rising cost of the veterinary treatment5 has had a double impact on spend on veterinary costs. Veterinary costs through our voucher scheme increased by almost 63% - £24,182 vs £14,839. The number of vouchers issued increased to 182 a5 compared to 131 the prior year. This was the highest number of vouchers issued Since the scheme began eight years ago. As a result of this higher spend on veterinary costs we recorded an overall deficit of £6,107 in 2023 as compared to a deficit of £1,215 in the prior year. We do consider the branch to be in a strong position financially despite the deficits, but we will continue to do what we can to raise funds and reduce costs going forward. There are several vet practices locally that do give us a charity discount on the costs of vet visits and treatments to which we are grateful and try and use them as much as possible. Nationally the longer-term aftereffects of COVID with higher animal ownership together with the higher costs of living and therefore higher animal abandonment has resulted in animal centres being at almost full capacity. Our Kent Chief Inspector Nick Wheelhouse and his team continue to do an amazing job working through these challenges whilst providing the much-needed front line services in responding to animal welfare concerns. This includes the rescue of all kinds of wildlife trapped or injured from a number of hazards. We have continued to support Nick and his team durinE the year wherever possible. We have also been busy in our °3nirnal care" work in the year. This relates to animals. mainly stray cats and kittens, that are not owned and come into our care. Our cattery closed in 2022 but since then we now use up to six foster families who kindly look after the animals prior to them being rehomed. We are very grateful to all of these volunteers who give their time freely to help us and the animals in their care. In November 2022, we began working on a joint project at a local housing authority Slte where the iesidents had requested assistance with a population of cats and kittens. Together with another animal rescue charity in our area Rescued Anima15 in Need or -RAIN- we the site regularly together and since that date we have caught a total of 76 feral cats and kittens. The adult cats were taken to a local vet and each neutered and given a health check and blood test and then re-released. The kittens were also given veterinary treatment. vaccinations, neutered and microchipped and were cared for by our great team of foster families before being rehomed. We will continue to visil the site in future on a less frequent basis now that most adults have teen neutered. We also helped a member of the PLbblic with the rescue neuter and rehorne of 10 feral cats and kittens at his home during the year. The average cost for the veterinary treatment for each stray or feral cat or kitten is approximately £250 £300 each. The RSPCA South East Regional Board. of which we are a member. offer several funding schemes to help branches with animal welfare projects. One scheme is the multi-animal slte scheme whereby we can recover veterinary costs associated with the restue of animals where there are 5 or more in one place. As a result of the rescue and rehoming we have undertaken at the two location5
Trustees Annual Report (continued) For the Year Ended 31 December 2023 mentioned above, we were able to reclaim £14,420 from this scheme related to the veterinary costs incurred. This costs and reclaim amount are shown rbetted in the animal care costs within the experbditure on charitable activities in our financial statements. Lastly, we continue to operate a dedicated branch telephone line to help people in our area with anv questions related to animals in need, including wildlife. This contirbues to be very much in demand, and we help as much as possible. Our donations and rehoming income more than doubled in the current year to £9,853 as compared to £4,685 the previous year. This includes the increase in rehoming fees due to the higher number of stray cats and kittens we have helped rescue and rehome this year. We charge a nominal rehoming fee which has not changed in the year, and this goes towards the veterinary and food costs incurred for each animal in our care before they are hOmed. The donations income also increased and includes monies raised and received as part of being our local Pets At Home branch Charity Partner since the beginning of 2022. As a result of this, we have received donations of pet food and supplies collected from the public in store as well a5 donations of large pallets of pet food and litter. We used these to distribute to our neighbourir)g RSPCA animal centres as well as to 3 local established food banks and also for animals in our care with foster families. We also receive vouchers to spend in their store on animal supplies and also participate in fund raising campaigns through the Pets at Home Foundation. During the year we held three of our usual fund-raising events including the local Great Comp garden event and had stalls at the Otford and Shoreham heavy horse show. us the opportunity to increase public awareness of our activities in the local area. We did receive our annual share of the National Sociews house to house collections and donations in the current year of £23,094 which was down slightly from 2022. This remains our largest source of income, without which we would not be able to carry out all of our animal welfare activities. These are collections carried out two years prior. Financial Review Financial Performance The Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 will be Submitted for adoption at the Annua5 Gener31 Meeting to be held on 17 lune 2024. The Financial Statements (including the Notes to the Accounts) show a position which the Trustees consider to be sound. During the year the Branch recorded a deficit of £6,107 compared to a deficit of £1,215 in the prior year, due primarily to increased expenditure on welfare assistance for veterinary fees of £24,182, an increase of £9,343 compared to 2022. Expenditure on charitable activities includes veterinary fees. animal care and any contributions made to the RSPCA National Society. The increase seen this year 15 due to several rea50n5.' increases in veterinary costs year-on-year. the number of 3nima15 treated and taken into our care and an increased
Trustees Annual Report (continued) For the Year Ended 31 December 2023 contribution to the National Society- The Branch continued to spend animal welfare through the branch voucher system for veterinary fees and the animal trapping and rehoming activities. The Branch was able to reclaim £14.420 from the South East Regional Board fund in respect of veterinary costs incurred related to the two large multi animal projerts undertaken in the year. Overall intome in 2023 increased by £4,862 to £34,557. primarily due to an increase of £2,642 in income generating from rehoming activities and an increase of £2,526 donations income to £6,303 12022.. £3,7771 which includes £3,347 raised from multiple campaigns at the Pets at Home Foundation. The Branch's share of the central allocation received of the Society's house to house collections reduced slightly compared to the prior year. This initiative, which uses professional fundraisers, generated £23,09412022- £23,218) and continues to be the Branch's largest source of income. Branch financial plan- including designated funds details. Reserve5 policy and risk management The policy of the Trustee5 15 to have a minimum of £5,000 in unrestricted reserves to ensure that our public interest welfare work can continue in a managed way should the income reduce Significantly for any reason. The Branch ended the 2023 financial year with £72,48912022,' £78,596) in reserve5. We continue to seek opportunities to reduce the carried forward reseeS year on year but will also give consideration to a possible reduction in our share of the National Society's house to house collections in the next few years and higher welfare spend. Funds were designated by the Trustees for a total of £20,OC(> to suptK)rt the following 3 initiatives- Feral Fund - £S.000 was designated to support the Branch activities in assisting with feral cat colonies in our area.
