REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2020

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The RSPCA Chesterfield and North Derbyshire Branch is an unincorporated association and a separately registered Branch of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (the Society), carrying out its direct animal welfare work in the areas of Chesterfield and North Derbyshire.

The objectives of the Branch are to promote the work and objectives of the Society - to promote kindness 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.

This is achieved through donations, gifts, legacies, fundraising and trading together with the help and dedication of paid staff and volunteers.

The trustees have reviewed the outcomes and achievements of our objectives and activities for the year, to ensure they remain focused on our charitable aims and continue to deliver benefits to the public. We have complied with the duty under the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Commission.

Under the Charities Act 2011, the advancement of animal welfare is recognised as a distinct statutory charitable purpose. This legislation and the Animal Welfare Act 2006 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 Branch's animal welfare work, although local in nature, benefits society at large and also aims to help people in need with the care of their animals. The next section of this report highlights the Branch's main activities and demonstrates the benefit provided to the public. All our charitable activities, as described in more detail below and in the following pages of this report, focus on promoting kindness and preventing or suppressing cruelty to animals and are undertaken to further these purposes for the public benefit.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2020

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Significant activities

Charitable activities pursued for the public benefit

-We support the Society's Inspectors and other RSPCA branches by taking in mistreated or abandoned animals, including pets whose owners suffer ill health, financial difficulties or pass away. The Society's Inspectorate (as well as providing education, information and advice) rescues animals in distress and enforces laws against the cruel mistreatment of animals in England and Wales by bringing prosecutions. This work is key to 'the prevention or suppression of cruelty' part of the RSPCA objects, and promotes humane sentiments towards animals which involves a moral benefit to humankind as a whole.

-We support our local community by taking in pets belonging to owners living in the local area where the owners are no longer able to care for them. This benefits pet owners who are in need of assistance by rehoming their animals.

-We take in lost animals (other than stray dogs for which the local authority is responsible) and take steps to try to reunite them with their owners. This work benefits our local community by preventing animals straying and posing a risk to themselves and people, for example through road traffic accidents.

-We provide reduced-rate micro chipping of cats for people on low incomes in the Branch area. We also provide low cost micro chipping for pets belonging to any member of the public living in the local area. This work helps to reunite lost animals with their owners, helps people on low incomes to get their pet's micro chipped and promotes responsible pet ownership as well as compliance with the legislation on the compulsory microchipping of dogs, which benefits society in general. There is also government consultation taking place on introducing compulsory microchipping of cats.

-Animals in our care receive veterinary treatment, vaccination, neutering, micro chipping and are assessed for rehoming. This work helps to control the incidence and spread of disease, helps prevent suffering and also helps to control cat and dog populations and reunite lost animals with their owners.

-We rehome animals in need to people willing and able to have a companion animal. Whilst we recognise that companion animals provide measurable benefits to people's physical and mental health, we consider the provision of pets as subsidiary to the main charitable aim of this service, which is to reduce animal suffering. Our policy to charge a reasonable adoption fee for animals aims to highlight the ongoing personal and financial commitment of pet ownership. It would not be in the best interests of animals, and therefore would fall outside our objects, to rehome to those who could not afford them.

-We provide financial assistance towards the cost of emergency veterinary treatment for animals that are sick or injured and belong to local people on low incomes. We do this through a voucher scheme. This work benefits those on means tested benefits by giving them financial help to obtain care for companion animals in urgent need of veterinary treatment.

-We offer free animal care advice by telephone, at our animal centre, by email and via our website. The public benefits through the promotion of responsible pet ownership.

-We provide volunteering opportunities for those who wish to support our work, including trusteeship, animal care and fundraising. This benefits local people and companies by providing the possibility of doing work that is compassionate and rewarding and that can help develop an individual's skills, which may also enhance the volunteer's career prospects.

-We provide educational talks on animal welfare to local schools and community groups and offer tours of the animal centre to such organisations to highlight our work. This benefits the local community by educating people, in particular children, about animal welfare and promoting responsible pet ownership, which benefits society as a whole.

During 2020 the Branch rehomed a total of 370 animals (153 dogs, 198 cats, 17 rabbits and 2 small animals and birds). In addition the Branch neutered 218 animals, microchipped 219 animals and issued welfare assistance vouchers for 2 animals belonging to owners on a low income.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2020

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

The trustees feel the charity has successfully achieved its charitable objectives during the year, and all involved are committed to maintaining the level of care and facilities currently offered.

Fundraising activities

During the year the charity has continued with its fundraising efforts but due to the Coronavirus pandemic the income has significantly reduced. A supporter engagement officer is employed by the branch to ensure that income from fundraising is maximised and sustainable.

Investment performance

The Branch Rules authorise the trustees to make and hold investments in the furtherance of the charitable objectives. Investec Wealth and Investment are engaged in a trust investment management capacity and the Branch converted all of investments in this portfolio to liquid funds. These funds are held on pooled deposit with Investec Wealth and Investment pending utilisation towards the animal centre rebuild program of work.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal funding sources

The principal source of funds for the charity is donations together with income from adoptions and trading. Boarding income is received from the National Society and branches for boarding of animals on their behalf and additional income is received from fundraising, legacies, grants and investment income.

Reserves policy

The Branch holds three types of reserves, restricted reserves, designated funds and free reserves. Restricted reserves are held for the purpose of activities specified by the donor. Currently all restricted funds relate to the rebuild program. Designated funds represent funds approved by the trustees for future capital projects. Currently the designated funds relate to the rebuild program. General funds represent the free reserves of the branch and tangible fixed assets.

The trustees consider it is prudent that to maintain a level of free reserves that will enable the branch to ensure a level of continuity and have the ability to adjust in a measured way to significant changes in the economic environment and demands on services. It is considered that free reserves should be sufficient to cover 8 to 12 months of total operational costs including centre administration, fundraising and support.

In the current year there has been a further improvement in the level of reserves. During the year the Branch has legacies receivable of £166,836 (2019 - £266,452). In June 2014 the Branch launched an appeal to raise additional funds towards the replacement and refurbishment of facilities at the animal centre. In respect of the appeal there was net income of £982 (2019 - £32,874) from donations.

FUTURE PLANS

After significant delays caused by the Coronavirus pandemic, the construction of the dog and cat isolation unit and the creation of new reception and visitor facilities at the branch's Chesterfield Animal Centre is now advancing well with the project expected to be completed in Autumn 2021.

As well as impacting on the rebuild project, the pandemic and resulting lockdowns have continued to affect the branch's income and operating activities during 2021. The branch has consequently experienced a significant reduction in fundraising and retail income and a drop in the number of animals coming into the branch's care. Moving forward, as restrictions have lifted, the branch is focussing on sustainability, growing its support from individual donors and developing new income streams, such as the online sale of donated goods via an auction site and the launch in September 2021 of the branch's lottery. Despite the huge challenges and negative impact of the pandemic, it has also created the opportunity for the branch to review its working practices and adoption processes to create more innovative and efficient ways of working and also improve both the welfare of the animals in the branch's care and the customer experience for potential adopters.

The branch's Cat Adoption Lounge in Pets at Home Chesterfield is operating successfully, providing an additional rehoming outlet for cats in the branch's care together with the opportunity to promote the branch's work to a wider audience. The branch will continue to manage this activity and partnership.

1. 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, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.

The accounts are prepared under the following accounting convention and include the results of the charity's operations which are described in the Trustees' Report and all of which are continuing.

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':

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.

The income from fundraising ventures is shown gross, with the associated costs included in fundraising costs.

No permanent endowments have been received in the period. The Branch is receiving a share of the income from a permanent endowment where the permanent endowment funds are held by third party trustees.

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 costs 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.

Charitable activities

Costs of charitable activities include costs directly related to the charitable objectives.

Governance costs

Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to professional fees and an apportionment of overhead and support costs.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Costs are allocated and apportioned with regard to the nature of the expense and the relevance to the activities of the charity.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2020

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Tangible fixed assets

Motor vehicles -20% on cost

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

To the extent that the charities income and expenditure relates to 'business activities' the figures in these accounts are net of VAT. The charities non business activities are outside the scope of VAT.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance 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.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that are set aside for specific purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Donated goods

The Branch receives donated goods which are sold through the charity shop. Also sold are goods purchased specifically for resale. The Branch is extremely grateful for the income it generates from donated goods but it is impractical to measure their value upon receipt. The income from donated goods is recognised when they are sold. No carrying value is recognised for the stock of donated goods on hand at the balance sheet date.

Treatment of legacy income

Legacy income is recognised on a receivable basis. During the year there were legacies receivable of £166,836 (2019 - £266,452).
