Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 31 December 2021

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021. 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 objects of the branch are to promote the work and objectives of the National RSPCA, with particular reference to the branch area.

The main aim is to find suitable new homes for as many animals as possible, and to provide proper care for those who have been mistreated or abandoned.

Significant activities

The main activities in achieving the branch's objectives is an animal re-homing programme and the provision of financial support towards veterinary care to pet owners who are on benefits and low incomes, particularly neutering and micro-chipping which reduces the number of unwanted litters and re-unites pets with their owners, rather than them being classed as strays and ending up in the care of the branch. Our force of volunteers provides invaluable support by devoting thousands of hours of their free time to this cause.

Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 31 December 2021

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Public benefit

We support our local Inspectors by taking in mistreated or abandoned animals as well as animals from people who pass away, have to go into residential care and other welfare reasons.

We provide help towards veterinary treatment for sick and injured animals whose owners cannot afford the full cost. We provide subsidised neutering for pet owners who cannot afford the full cost and all these animals are micro-chipped free of charge as well. This work helps to control the population of dogs, cats and rabbits and promotes responsible pet ownership.

We also neuter free of charge cats that have had kittens if the kittens are handed over to us for re-homing. This is an incentive to the owners not to give the kittens away to just anyone.

We are continuing with a scheme to help pets belonging to homeless people. If their animals are sick we will arrange for them to see a vet through our Welfare Clinic. The RSPCA Inspectors and other frontline staff can also use this service for any animal in need that they deal with.

We have a scheme with all our local veterinary practices for subsidised micro-chipping. We provide the micro-chips and the vets will chip any animal for around £5. This is available to all pet owners and not just those on low incomes or benefits.

All the animals that come into our care receive a full health check, veterinary treatment as required, vaccinations, treatment for worms and fleas, a micro-chip and they are neutered if this has not already been done. Quite often animals coming into our care need dental work.

Adopters are given a voucher for the full cost of neutering if the animal was too young at the time of adoption for this procedure to be carried out. We neuter all dogs, all cats over 4 months of age and all rabbits before they are re-homed and we do not re-home dogs, cats or rabbits until they have received a full course of vaccinations.

We take in, free of charge, lost animals and take steps to reunite them with their owners. Our very proactive micro-chipping campaigns are reducing the number of lost pets who despite our best efforts are never reunited with their owners and have to be found a new home although sadly we do get animals coming into us who are micro-chipped but their owners have not kept their details up to date with their micro-chip company when they have moved house and in some instances we have been unable to trace them.

We re-home the animals in our care to people willing and able to afford to have a companion animal. Our policy to charge a reasonable adoption fee for animals aims to highlight the ongoing personal and financial commitment of responsible pet ownership. It would not be in the best interests of animals, and would therefore fall outside our objectives to re-home to those who could not afford the cost of their ongoing care.

We respond to enquiries about animals directly from members of the public and the Society's National Control Centre and we have a dedicated mobile telephone number to deal with these calls which are handled by one of our volunteers.

We have volunteers who are trained in animal behaviour who will discuss any behavioural problems adopters of our pets may be having and do their best to find solutions.

We work with Social Services and other similar organisations including those that deal with homeless people and victims of domestic violence when they have clients with animals in need of veterinary treatment or need to have their animals neutered.

Within the terms of our governing document we support the National Society, other RSPCA branches and other local animal welfare charities by taking in animals from them whenever we have space available.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

We provide volunteering opportunities for those who wish to support our work, including trusteeship, fostering, charity shop work, home visiting and fundraising. This benefits local people by providing the possibility of doing work which is compassionate and rewarding.

The trustees confirm they have had regard to the Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

In 2021 we found new homes for 32 dogs, 160 cats and kittens, 20 rabbits and 4 other small animals and birds. We still had a reduced number of appointments a day at our cattery and no rehoming was done from our fosterers homes. The kittens in their care were taken to our cattery once homes had been found for them and they were adopted from there. We are still not doing face to face home visits with potential adopters so where possible a vet check is carried out and a virtual check is carried out to ensure they are suitable. A Perfect Match form has to be completed and then a long conversation by telephone follows.

Our proactive neutering campaign was still ongoing with our local veterinary practices being able to offer 50% help with the cost of neutering cats and rabbits on our behalf to suitable clients in receipt of means tested benefits. We helped with the cost of neutering 1 dog and 15 cats for people on means tested benefits. We also contributed to the cost of veterinary treatment for 72 dogs, 29 cats 6 rabbits and 6 other small animals and birds for people on means tested benefits or low incomes.

We continued to provide micro-chips to all our local veterinary practices so that the subsidised scheme was again available to all pet owners. The number of animals micro-chipped in 2021 was 395 and again this is less than in previous years. We still get animals being found who are micro-chipped but the owners details are no longer valid which is very frustrating.

45% of the animals we took into care were from the Inspectors and other frontline staff.

Unwanted rabbits are still very difficult to rehome, particularly in pairs and the number of unwanted rabbits is increasing at a rapid rate. We are the first port of call for people wanting rid of their rabbit but most people go to a pet shop when they want to buy one, but we do try and promote the rabbits in our care through our website and Pet Search as much as possible.

Litters of kittens are often just dumped or advertised on social media which just perpetuates the number of kittens being born as often people will get a "free " kitten on a whim that then goes on to have other kittens. This is a very great concern and selling sites on social media are sadly a platform for advertising unwanted animals.

In 2021 we took 16 dogs, 102 cats and kittens and 1 rabbit into our care from RSPCA Inspectors and Animal Collection Officers and this figure includes quite a lot of animals from outside our own area.

We continue to be very proactive in the testing and neutering of feral cats and we have volunteers who dedicate many hours of their time to this and unless the cat is really wild we are able to find suitable homes for them. Very few are released back into the area they were found.

As COVID restrictions were eased we have been able to allow volunteers to go and spend some one to one time with the cats in our care. This is really beneficial to the cats particularly the ones who have not been particularly well socialised before they came into our care.

We have still helped pets belonging to homeless people through our welfare fund and animals referred to us for help by our Inspectors.

We gave assistance again in 2021 to the RSPCA Inspectors and Animal Collection Officers by taking in animals from them whenever spaces were available and we also helped with funding some of the veterinary treatment needed for animals that they rescued.

Some of the animals that came into care in 2021 needed considerable amounts of veterinary treatment which on some occasions was thousands of pounds.There is immense joy, however, when the animals are found a new caring home sometimes after months of care is beyond price.

Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 31 December 2021

As well as featuring pets looking for homes on the RSPCA Pet Search and our own website we also publicise them on our Facebook page. Many people who adopt animals from us, particularly cats and kittens, send us Happy Ending stories and photographs of their new pets settled in their new homes. These are published on our website and they get a lot of "likes".

Our volunteers who look after sick, injured and hibernating hedgehogs have done a sterling job again and their dedication has saved many lives of these vulnerable creatures. They took over 364 hedgehogs into care in 2021.

Fundraising activities

Due to the easing of COVID restrictions we were able to undertake some fundraising events many of which were in outdoor venues such as South Cliff Gardens.

Our volunteers did the raffles again at the dances at Bridlington Spa and we were able to have our stall in Morrisons and at Park Rose. We attended the Lions Fun Day and Flamborough Gala too. We were given two pantomime dates where we were able to collect after the performances as well.

We were still unable to fundraise in our local Pets at Home store but their support to us has been amazing both instore and through Support Adoption for Pets. We also did really well for VIP Lifelines points again which enables us to buy food and other items for the animals in our care.

A local Costcutter store did a couple of raffles for us instore and a guest house owner in Bridlington had one of our collection boxes and charged all her guests who brought their dogs with them a £5 donation to us.

Sadly the volunteers who normally do their Christmas Lights display were unable to do it due to ill health.

The food collection boxes in Tesco and Morrison's stores in Bridlington have done very well for us in 2021 but some of the places we had our collection boxes have closed so the amount raised has dropped considerably and some venues that they are open do not have their boxes out on display. Many people now only use their cards so that has also contributed to the reduction of donations in collection boxes.

We have lost a few of our regular donors who pay a monthly amount straight to our bank account for various reasons including loss or reduction in income.

The number of subscribers to our Lottery have fallen again so we need to find ways to promote this to get some new members.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The trustees have exercised good control of spending during the year, leaving the charity in a sound financial position, having net assets of £1,531,013 of which unrestricted reserves amount to £1,429,056. Cash at bank and in hand amounted to £639,671 at 31 December 2021. Total incoming resources for the year amounted to £124,878 (2020 - £151,698) including legacies of £38,804 (2020 - £16,842). Total resources expended in the year were £328,244 (2020 - £367,994). There was a net decrease in funds during the year of £203,366 (Decrease 2020 - £216,296).

Principal funding sources

The principal funding source is from operating the RSPCA Charity Shop in Bridlington.

The charity has benefited from legacies, fund raising events, donations and collections and continues to rely on the continued support of its unpaid volunteers.

Investment policy and objectives

The charity manages its cash reserves to ensure that it receives a good interest income without taking on significant risks to the capital.

Report of the Trustees For The Year Ended 31 December 2021

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

The charity holds reserves in order that the service level provided for animal welfare is maintained should there be a reduction in incoming resources. The trustees aim to maintain the level of free reserves of two years expenditure in order to enable the charity to continue to operate, should there be a significant decline in its income. Reserves are those that are freely available for general purposes and are uncommitted.

At 31 December 2021 the free reserves are represented by the net current assets of £658,403.

FUTURE PLANS

We took possession of a property in March 2021 that was to become our new charity shop and work started by getting quotes for the work that needed doing. We were able to apply for a grant towards the fitting out from the Love Your High Street Fund. It took some time to get quotes and then we had to wait for people to start the work so it was July before we made any progress at all. By the end of the year there was light at the end of the tunnel and the shop should open in the early part of 2022.

The shop is in the area of Bridlington which has the best footfall so hopefully we will make more profit than we did in our old shop.

We are hoping to make some progress at Cloverdale in 2022.

We will continue to support the local Inspectors and frontline staff and as much as possible again by taking rescued animals from them into our care.

We really need to be proactive in recruiting new trustees and volunteers and we are always looking for enthusiastic individuals. We also need new volunteers for fundraising activities.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

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.

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.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Costs are allocated to the appropriate fund as they are incurred. Where it is necessary to allocate costs between funds, the trustees use their best judgement and estimates to fairly allocate the cost between the appropriate funds.

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 - Straight line over 50 years Freehold property - 2% on cost Cattery - Straight line over 20 years Equipment - 20% on reducing balance Motor vehicle - 25% on reducing balance

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.

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.

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

The restricted fund relates to the fundraising receipts used for the construction of the Cattery. The restricted fund is reduced each year by the proportion of the depreciation charge in relation to the Cattery.

14. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The lease of the land in relation to the cattery provides that the landlord may terminate the lease by giving 12 months notice. If the lease is terminated in this way the Charity would be entitled to receive a compensation payment of £7,200 for each complete year remaining between the date of termination and 11 November 2037.

If the landlord were to issue a notice to terminate the lease it would be necessary to reduce the value of the cattery to the estimated recoverable amount.

The trustees do not anticipate any notice to terminate the lease to be given and consequently no provision has been included for the loss in the value of the fixed assets that would otherwise arise.
