Worthing Animal Clinic Annual Report 2021/22 Chairman’s Report

When I wrote last year’s report I reflected on how COVID 19 had impacted on the charity, the clinic and the world in general. Whilst we appear, as I write now, to be returning to a more settled scenario from a pandemic perspective it would be a false hope to say that our situation is back to normal.

Although our clients have returned they are certainly in lesser numbers and for what reason we do not know. Impending fears of inflationary pressures will not help either the demand or our ability to contain costs so 2022 may bring unwanted pressures on resources. We can only wait and see.

As in 2020, our 2021 AGM was not open to our members to attend but, subject to there being no government restrictions at the time, we will hold the 2022 AGM at the clinic on 31 May.

In spite of the relaxation in the regulations we continued to hold our regular Trustee meetings via Zoom albeit that we have reverted to bi-monthly and have found that this does prove to make the process easier all round for attendees (provided the Chairman’s computer doesn’t crash too often). It is the current intention to continue this practice.

I cannot believe that last year I had reason to comment on the protracted delays we had encountered in respect of two substantial legacies both being dealt with by the same solicitor. Here I am again 12 months later still waiting for one of those estates to be sorted out. In the meantime, in spite of successfully dealing directly with the executor of the estate (who is as frustrated with the inactivity as we are), no payment whatsoever has been made to the beneficiaries. As, technically, beneficiaries are not clients of the solicitors involved there is nothing we can do other than reflect on appalling professional standards and wait. The deceased, who was one of our clients as well as a member of the charity, actually died in 2018 and probate was granted in 2019.

I commented last year that “the Clinic’s rapid response to the (COVID 19) situation meant that all the staff still did what they could for our clients whilst keeping themselves as safe as possible “and that “the Charity has continued to operate in accordance with the objects of the charity as laid down in our constitution and can expect to do so at least for the coming year.” I feel that it is worth repeating those words as we are, once again, incredibly proud of the efforts made by all our staff (and locums) over the period of the pandemic and many thanks are due to all at the clinic.

Worthing Animal Clinic Annual Report 2021/22 Trustees’ Report

CLINIC OBJECTIVES

The principal objective of the Clinic is to offer subsidised veterinary treatment and care to the pets of those in receipt of means-tested benefits (Housing Benefit/local Housing Allowance, Council Tax Reduction, or Pension Credit) and also to those in receipt of a State Pension only. The rules of the Charity also allow for the provision of subsidised veterinary care to other animal charities within the prescribed post code areas.

ORGANISATION

The Trustees currently meet at two-monthly intervals via Zoom to consider the activities of the Clinic and to monitor the financial progress made during the time since the previous meeting. Members of staff and the book-keeper are also invited to attend these meetings. The daily administration and professional activities of the Clinic are under the control of the Veterinary Surgeon.

POLICY

The policies of the Clinic are driven by its objectives. The facilities of the Clinic are available to all those who fall within the stated criteria. Furthermore, from time to time, the Veterinary Surgeon will use his/her discretion in providing free treatment to animals in exceptional cases.

STATUS AND ADMINISTRATION

Worthing Animal Clinic is an unincorporated charitable association, Registered Charity number 211467. It is governed by the Rules of the Clinic, last amended in October 2007 and, being registered with the Charities Commission, is required to comply with the Charities Act 2011.

Its principal address is Anthony House, 30/32 Newland Road, Worthing, West Sussex, BN11 1JR.

The Trustees comprise a committee of up to eight members of the charity, elected annually. The committee appoints a Chairman and such other officers as it deems necessary.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

The accounts comply with current statutory requirements and with the requirements of the Clinic’s governing rules.

Annual Report and Unaudited Accounts 2021/22

PUBLIC BENEFIT

The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and are satisfied that they are meeting the requirements. Specifically, the aim of the charity is to relieve suffering and distress of animals by the provision of a subsidised veterinary service to the pets of those of limited means in the Worthing, Lancing and Littlehampton area which is not covered by any other subsidised veterinary service. In addition there are further funds available to provide assistance beyond the normal subsidy.

REVIEW OF THE CLINIC’S YEAR

In the year ending December 2020 the income of the Clinic amounted to £179,584 (2020 = £138,935) being the combined total of professional fees, fund-raising and investment income. Outgoings amounted to £181,761 (2020 = £171,007), resulting in a net deficit for the year of £2,177.

At the Clinic during the course of the year 1468 animals attended consultations and 205 were operated on. The corresponding figures for 2020 were 1395 consultations and 204 operations.

Trustees serving on the board during the year were as follows: Geoff Parrish Karol Jeffery

In the light of their low numbers and lack of volunteers, the Trustees have again not organised or attended any fundraising functions during the year although we are grateful that a number of our members took it upon themselves to raise funds in our name at functions and by other means.

RECRUITMENT OF TRUSTEES

Recruitment of Trustees should be an on-going process as the Charity has never had what could be termed a full complement of active Trustees. Currently the Trustees are not actively seeking potential new members as there had been little apparent interest shown for some time. If suitable candidates do appear they will be requested to submit a CV and be interviewed. Initially they would be offered a co-opted position on the Trustee board with a view to standing for election as a full Trustee at the next AGM. Training is offered in respect of the work of the Clinic and the duties and responsibilities of Trustees. In light of the very small number of current Trustees, however, any new recruit is expected to be already proficient in the area of their intended contribution to the Board.

RESERVES POLICY

A concise and realistic Reserves Policy has been devised and the principles therein are endorsed by the Trustees. Following the annual review of the Reserves Policy in May 2021 it was decided to return our expected reserves ratio to a range of 2 to 3 times the total annual operating expenditure. During the year we have maintained the reserves within this range. The next review is at the June 2022 trustee meeting and the current level of reserves will be looked at and amended if thought necessary at that time.

INVESTMENT POLICY

A concise and conservative Investment Policy has been devised and the principles therein are endorsed by the Trustees. Environmental, social, and governance issues are integrated into the overall investment policies of each of our investment fund managers. The Investment Policy was reviewed at the May 2021 Trustee meeting but no changes were felt necessary. The next review will be held at the June 2022 trustee meeting.

EXPENSES POLICY

A straightforward Expenses Policy has been devised and the principles therein are endorsed by the Trustees. The policy follows the guidance of the Charities Commission with regard to trustee expenses and payments. The Expenses Policy was reviewed at the December 2021 Trustee meeting but no changes were felt necessary.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Trustees continue to keep the Clinic’s activities under review and maintain a full range of insurances to mitigate exposure to loss.

SERIOUS INCIDENTS

The Trustees have satisfied themselves that the charity did not experience any serious incidents or other matters that should have been brought to the attention of the Charity Commission during the course of the year.

OBJECTIVES FOR 2021

The principal objective for the coming year is to ensure a continuation of the Clinic’s work for the foreseeable future.

Worthing Animal Clinic Annual Report 2021/22 Veterinary Surgeon’s Report

At the Worthing Animal Clinic we are gradually returning to normality after 2 years of Covid restrictions. Clients are now able to enter the consulting room area with their animals, without masks, although many choose to continue wearing them. As far as possible we try to limit risks to staff and clients in what is of necessity a very enclosed space.

The most noteworthy case we have seen in the last 6 months affected ‘Poppy’ a 9 year old terrier. Poppy has suffered from epilepsy for many years and is on permanent treatment for that condition. In January she began to suffer from an increased frequency of seizures and also concurrently became unwell with frequent attempts to urinate and blood in her urine. A course of antibiotics for a suspected urine infection failed to resolve her symptoms, and a subsequent X- ray revealed the dramatic finding of a bladder literally packed full of stones. Poppy underwent immediate surgery to open her bladder and remove the stones. This is a painstaking process as leaving behind even the smallest stone could be a focus for the whole process to start again. We actually use a sterile teaspoon to scoop out the stones from the bladder – crude but effective! Poppy made an immediate and uneventful recovery and a change of diet will hopefully prevent the problem recurring. For so many stones to be present it is likely that this problem had been developing for months or years. Unfortunately, it is a feature of our patients that they are unable to communicate their problems and some are very stoical and able to hide their symptoms until the effects become obvious.

One legacy of the ‘pandemic’ and lockdown periods is something that most people are aware of because of extensive media coverage around the huge increase in pet ownership, particularly the acquisition of puppies and kittens. In itself this is all well and good, but this is a trend which presents many potential problems for the future. Impulse buying of an animal for company is likely to turn sour for many people when lives return to ‘normal’ and the financial burdens become all too real. Animal charities will need to be prepared for issues of abandonment. A huge increase in demand for pets has also driven vast inflation in the prices that breeders charge. We’ve all heard of puppies changing hands for many thousands of pounds. No surprise, therefore, that some unscrupulous breeding will have taken place in order to cash in on this bonanza, and no surprise that there has been a huge influx of animals from abroad, many with uncertain origins to put it mildly (puppy farms!). Breeding from animals with inheritable diseases or temperament problems could well lead to a future population of companion animals with poor health and behavioural problems. It is perhaps a little known fact that the offspring of a nervous or aggressive bitch will likely also be nervous or aggressive, especially if poorly socialized in their first few weeks of life. The usual sound advice to ‘meet the parents’ in their own

Annual Report and Unaudited Accounts 2021/22

Page 7

home environment when choosing a pup or kitten has been widely flouted during the past two years, with many purchases made on a ‘click and collect’ basis. In our clinic we are already encountering some of the results of this folly. We are spaying an increasing number of 2 year-old cats who have already given birth to a couple of litters of kittens. I have also been presented with more nervous, anxious and poorly socialized dogs than ever before, a few so nervous or aggressive that they are virtually un-handleable. Whether we will also begin to see an increased frequency of genetic disease in years to come remains to be seen, but it is easy to predict ongoing challenges for the veterinary profession.

This year’s accounts should be a little easier to put into context as the pandemic had similar effects on both 2020 and 2021 numbers but we will always have to take into account the impact that erratic legacy income has on the accounts. I will not dwell again on a Worthing solicitor’s appalling delay in finalising legacy payments to us other than to record that, not only did we need to realise assets whilst waiting for payment of one legacy, but we are also still waiting for the other legacy to be paid with a possible resultant need to release yet more assets.

This year’s total income figure stands at £179,584 or £133,945 excluding legacies. In 2020 it was £138,935 with no legacy income. Similarly, total expenditure was £181,761 compared with £171,007 in 2020. Overall this year’s overall deficit was thus just £2,177 thanks to legacy income compared with the £32,072 deficit that we had last year. We had budgeted for a likely surplus of about £11,000 assuming that both significant legacies would have been received. The rise in stock market prices, in spite of the pandemic, did however cushion the total asset valuation and total charity funds had risen from £510,036 at the end of 2020 to £558,734 at the end of 2021.

Even without the Charity carrying out any specific fund-raising activities subscriptions and donations continue at a reasonable level although we were not fortunate enough to get any more significant grants this year. Last year we had received £10,000 from the IVO Trust which has been used, in part, to supplement certain designated funds which will now run out of funds again during 2022. Online funding methods (Easyfundraising, AmazonSmile, Virgin Money Giving and Paypal Giving) continue to produce regular receipts of funds, although Virgin Money Giving has now ceased to operate.

Expenditure this year was, in many categories, similar to last year but two items do stand out. Firstly the apparent increase in ‘rates and water’. This reflects the large repayment we received in 2021 as a result of the re-assessment of the whole of the premises for business rates rather than treating the upper rooms as domestic property. The other large increase was in the ‘emergency cover’ category and this reflects a significant problem in receiving and agreeing invoices with our supplier. Even when invoices were agreed there were still problems in ensuring that direct debits were properly set up and collected. It has been a recurrent theme during 2021 that suppliers seem to have problems nowadays in setting up and correctly collecting direct debits. We have ceased to use direct debit for HMRC, for example, as standing orders seem to be the only safe method of making payments.

Although we still hope to receive the outstanding legacy in 2022 plus one other promised small one we are anticipating a significant shortfall in income during the year and have budgeted for a deficit for the year of about £40,000. Although this figure represents only about 7% of our total assets the continuing reduction in number of clients both for consultations and operations does mean that the Clinic’s viability long term is not assured.
