**CANTERBURY AND DISTRICT BRANCH OF THE RSPCA** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022** 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The Trustees of the Royal Society for the Protection of Animals (RSPCA) Canterbury & District Branch (the Branch) present their Annual Report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ending 31st December 2022. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting policies set out in notes to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) FRS 102 as the Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the UK and Republic of Ireland (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

The overall mission of the Branch is to promote the work and objectives of the National Society of the RSPCA - by lawful means to seek to prevent cruelty, promote kindness and alleviate suffering of animals - in accordance with the policies of the Society. The Branch aims to fulfil this mission within its District through education, encouragement, communication and other activities. 

The Branch’s key aims are to provide suitable homes for as many animals as it receives, from all sources, to provide proper care and rehabilitation for abandoned or mistreated animals and to promote animal welfare across its District. Animals in the care of the Branch receive veterinary health checks, treatment, vaccination, neutering and microchipping and are assessed for suitable homing. 

## Public Benefit Statement 

The Trustees have reviewed the outcomes and achievements of the Branch in relation to their objectives and activities  for the year to ensure they remain focused on the charitable aims of both the trust and the Society and to continue to deliver benefits to the public, as prescribed by the Charity Commission•'s general guidance on public benefit. This is  illustrated by the following activities:- 

- - Support to local Inspectors by taking in, free of charge, mistreated or abandoned animals, including pets whose owners have suffered ill health, financial difficulties, or have passed away. 

- - Raising awareness of and providing free education, information and advice on animal care, benefiting the public by promoting compassionate human sentiments towards animals via social media, telephone, information leaflets and face-to-face at regular events and workshops both at CADAC branch and externally. 

- - Providing subsidised veterinary treatment for animals which are sick or injured and belong to local people on low incomes. Provision is met through an assessment procedure using a clearly defined policy for owners who are eligible. 

- - Offering subsidised neutering and microchipping services to animal carers. This helps to control pet populations and promotes responsible pet ownership. 

- - Inviting tenders for veterinary services every 2-3 years to seek the best value for money for the Branch and its users. The selected Veterinary Practice provides the main support for the Branch at the animal centre with weekly visits, while other veterinary practices are used in other areas, such as Dover and Sittingbourne, if more convenient. 

- - Offering volunteering opportunities and work experience through alliances with schools, colleges and employment organisations as part of a development programme and stepping stones towards employment and vocational development. Volunteering experiences have provided the background for several people who have gained employment elsewhere from this route. 

- - Supporting and encouraging ongoing training programmes for all staff, volunteers and Trustees to improve knowledge, experience and confidence in their work.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022** 

- - Fostering links with other local animal welfare organisations committed to the same objectives to share information and make the most efficient use of resources. 

The Branch generates revenue from its retail shops, from donations, fundraising projects and other activities. This revenue is used to support various activities to achieve its objectives, including the operation of its main animal  welfare and operational centre, known as the Canterbury & District Animal Centre (CADAC) which also provides other welfare services to external bodies, including other branches of the RSPCA. 

## Merger with RSPCA Kent Isle of Sheppey Branch 

In 2022, the Branch merged with RSPCA Kent Isle of Sheppey (charity number 241712) in order to be able to offer an enhanced animal welfare service across the combined branch areas. 

An Animal Welfare Officer (AWO) was employed from April 2022 to October 2022 to provide an increased frontline presence in the Sheppey area. This role has been re-recruited for and should be filled in 2023. 

The AWO role was a new service offered by the Branch after the merger and had a focus on delivering animal welfare support in the communities on the Isle of Sheppey, including: 

- Outreach events for education and engagement, for example attending an event held at the Sheerness Tesco store, where members of the public came to talk to the AWO about animal welfare 

- Wildlife rescue, for example freeing trapped birds from netting 

- Dealing with outdoor colonies of cats, humanely trapping before neutering and then returning or rehoming, according to the best option for each particular animal 

- Working with the local veterinary practices to set up and maintain subsidised neutering, microchipping and treatment schemes for people on low incomes 

- Being a visible presence in the communities, building relationships and trust with members of the public and local organisations 

Although there has been a small delay in recruiting a replacement following the departure of the AWO, we have continued to offer financial support to people on the Isle of Sheppey to ensure they can look after their animals.

CADAC is licensed to care for up to 80 cats in specially designed units and it is estimated that around 300 cats will  be cared for and successfully re-homed each year. During 2022, 266 cats were re-homed via the Centre (compared to 219 in 2021).

## **Fundraising initiatives** 

During 2022, fundraising events, especially in-person events, became more viable due to updated Covid-19 guidance and £1,586 was raised from a 'Kitten Yoga' event at the animal centre, plus a quiz night and Christmas raffle. It is expected that 2023 and 2024 will see increased fundraising events taking place as more confidence returns for people to gather in greater numbers. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

It is Branch policy to maintain free reserves (unrestricted funds not held as tangible assets) of the Branch at a level of between six to nine months' unrestricted expenditure. As the Branch relies heavily on donations and legacies, both of which can fluctuate enormously from year to year, it is felt prudent to maintain reserves at this level in order to fund the running of the animal centre and other animal welfare work across the District. 

Trustees are of the opinion that the existing level of reserves is sufficient to meet any reduction in incoming resources during the next six to nine months. 

## **Restricted Funds** 

The Branch had restricted funds of £132,512 at the end of 2022, the bulk of which is the balance of the funds  transferred from the Sheppey Branch at point of merger; plus a small balance still to be spent from the RSPCA South East Regional Board (SERB) grant and the remainder of the neutering grant from the RSPCA Sussex Brighton and East Grinstead Branch. 

## **Investment Policy** 

Due to the low returns available in recent economic conditions, it was decided by the Trustees to focus on liquidity  and the availability of operating cash; therefore no investments are currently held. Once opportunities become more attractive, the Trustees will review the cash position and may elect to deposit any surplus in a new investment.

**CANTERBURY AND DISTRICT BRANCH OF THE RSPCA** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The Branch generated income of £489,190 in 2022 (£492,400 in 2021) and incurred expenses of £618,026 (£470,748 in 2021), giving a deficit before recognised gains and losses on investments of £128,837 (surplus of £21,652 in 2021). The income for the year included legacies of £1,000 (£21,698 in 2021). 

Expenditure in 2022 was higher than in 2021 due to significant works at the animal centre to repair a retaining wall on the site; to build an additional cattery destined for use as a private boarding establishment; and to install new gates at the entrance and on the premises necessary for enhanced security and safety. We were fortunate enough to receive several generous donations from other RSPCA branches and the RSPCA South East Regional Board towards these costs, and we would like to extend our thanks to our fellow RSPCA organisations. 

The Branch received a number of grants and donations during 2022 from several sources, totalling £88,540 (£202,255 in 2021) some of which is restricted: 

Local Authorities (Rates relief Covid)  £963 Kickstart Apprentice Scheme  £5,717 (restricted) RSPCA Purley Branch £10,000 RSPCA Guildford Branch £20,000 (restricted) RSPCA Bromley Branch £5,000 (restricted) RSPCA Chiltern Branch £5,000 (restricted) RSPCA Plymouth Branch £3,000 (restricted) RSPCA Sussex Brighton & East Grinstead Branch £16,500 (restricted) RSPCA South East Regional Board  £22,360 (restricted) 

The RSPCA grants are recognised as Related Party Transactions. 

Overall shop income increased year on year due to the reduced Covid restrictions in place, and the addition of the Sheerness (Sheppey) shop into our portfolio, rising from £124,921 in 2021 to £232,398 in 2022. 

CADAC: overall operating costs of £283,665 (£174,919 in 2021), with wages costs for CADAC being £120,316 (£89,834 in 2020). Increased wages costs result from higher activity levels in intake and rehoming, plus the effect of wage inflation. Other increased costs include some of the maintenance work mentioned above. 

All Trustees are unpaid and provide their time on a regular basis helping the Branch in its strategic direction and implementation of operational activities.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022** 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Organisational Structure** 

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SCPA) was founded on 16 June 1824 and granted the "Royal" prefix by Queen Victoria in 1840. The current constitution of the RSPCA was created with the adoption of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1932 and its work is governed by this Act and, more recently, by the Animal Welfare Act 2006, as well as by the Rules of the Society. Membership of the RSPCA is by subscription and may be on life, annual, ex-officio or junior basis. 

The RSPCA is managed by an elected Council who, subject to the rules, control the affairs, funds, property and proceedings of the Society. They are assisted in the administration and operation of their charitable activities by a central organisation, headquarters, regional networks and local branches, of which this Branch is one. 

Representatives of the branches, regional and national organisations meet on an annual basis to consider all issues affecting animal welfare and to develop policies for the future pursuit of common aims. 

## **Governance & Management** 

The RSPCA Canterbury and District Branch is a separately registered and autonomous branch of the RSPCA. The Branch is constituted as an unincorporated charity governed by the deed of trust and its governing document known as the `RSPCA Branch Rules’, which was issued by the RSPCA on 18 February 2002 and amended on 2 May 2012. 

The Branch is governed by a Committee who are appointed Trustees of the Branch. This committee is essentially the Trust Board. Members of the Committee are appointed by vote each year at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). The Trustees can co-opt up to three additional places during the year, and the co-opted Trustees can be elected by the Branch membership at the following year’s AGM. All trustees are briefed on their responsibilities as trustees prior to their acceptance of the role and are invited to attend any relevant induction and training in relation to their specific roles. The Committee is kept up to date on RSPCA general developments by the RSPCA Branch Partnership Managers, as well  as via other advice communicated to us by the RSPCA on a regular basis. 

Subject to the overall support of the RSPCA network, the Trustees control and monitor all fundraising and animal welfare initiatives of the Branch. The Trustees of the Branch have an individual and collective responsibility for the overall management of the Branch and its funds. The Trustees hold monthly meetings at which strategic decisions as to the performance and operation of the Branch are made. 

The trustees are selected with their specialist knowledge in mind to support the branch in its affairs. Trustee selection processes over recent years have benefited the branch with their finance, retail, HR, legal and construction expertise from their primary roles. 

The day-to-day running of the Canterbury and District Branch including the animal centre (CADAC) is delegated to the Senior Management Team consisting of the full-time Animal Welfare Manager, full-time Funding And Special Projects Manager and the part-time Finance Manager. This management team is supported in the day to day operation by  directly employed staff some of whom are part-time, and c. 100 volunteers. 

The Senior Management team has appointed leads for each of the Branch functions, with appropriate delegated authority from the Board of Trustees.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CANTERBURY AND DISTRICT BRANCH OF THE RSPCA** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of CANTERBURY AND DISTRICT BRANCH OF THE RSPCA** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of CANTERBURY AND DISTRICT BRANCH OF THE RSPCA (the Trust) for the year ended 31st December 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying  out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **General information  and basis of preparing the financial statements** 

Canterbury and District Branch of the RSPCA is an unincorporated charity, registered at the Charity Commission in England and Wales. The principal address is shown on page 9 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are to promote the work of the RSPCA in the branch area, namely  to use all lawful means to prevent cruelty, promote kindness to and alleviate suffering for animals. 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been  prepared in accordance with 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure has evolved following the 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) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. 

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity. 

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. 

## **Income** 

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably  and it is probable that the income will be received. 

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled. 

Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold. 

Donated services and facilities are only included in incoming resources where the benefit to the Branch is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. 

For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received. At this point income is recognised. On occasion legacies will be notified to the charity however it is not possible to measure the amount expected to be distributed. On these occasions, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed. 

Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred. 

Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend and rent income is recognised as the charity's right to receive payment is established.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2022** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

## **Income** 

Income from grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred. 

## **Government grants** 

Government grants have been received by the charity in the year. Grant income is not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the entity will adhere to the conditions which are attached to the grant. There must  also be reasonable assurance that the grant will be received by the entity in order to recognise the grant in the financial statements, 

The accounting policy for recognising grant income adopted by the charity is the accrual model:- 

## Revenue-based grant: 

Grant monies receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred, or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the charity with no future related costs have been recognised in the period in which they are received or become receivable. 

## **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. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Freehold property - 2% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 15% on reducing balance Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. 

## **Stocks** 

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing stock to its present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out formula. Provision is made for damaged, obsolete and slow-moving stock where appropriate. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
