## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The Branch is a branch of (and thus dependent on) the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Charity reg no. 219099). 

It is governed by the Society’s rules for branches (2012 edition as updated in January 2022). 

The Branch Committee members (the Trustees) are elected by the branch membership at the AGM. The Branch Officers are elected annually by the committee at the committee meeting following the AGM. 

All  trustees  are  briefed  on  their  responsibilities  as  trustees  prior  to  their acceptance of the role.  Trustees are also offered in-service training organised by the RSPCA on an ad hoc basis on relevant topics eg. recruitment and retention of volunteers; financial reporting. 

Branch policies are decided, within the RSPCA Rules, by the committee. Appropriate aspects are implemented by the Branch Officers.  Otherwise policies are implemented by the Branch Manager, Mrs Julie Ashcroft and her staff, supported and assisted by volunteers. 

The trustees meet as the Branch Committee every other month; the Branch Manager, Senior Vet, the Branch Partnership Manager and, when possible, the local Inspector, attend.  Other meetings are held as required – there are no permanent sub-committees.  The Annual General Meeting of the Branch is held in May or June. 

The trustees have identified that the major risks to which the Branch may be exposed are: 

- insufficient funds to allow operations to continue. 

- loss of reputation through error or fraud 

- loss of income through error or fraud 

- health, safety and welfare issues relating to staff and volunteers. 

The trustees actively review these risks at their regular meetings which include operational and financial reviews and confirm that systems have been established to mitigate the risks. 

## **Objects and public benefit statement** 

The RSPCA Bolton and District Branch is an unincorporated charitable 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 area of Bolton Metropolitan Borough plus North Turton. 

The objects of the Branch are to promote the work and objects 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.   The key aim is to implement the RSPCA’s Minimum Animal Welfare Standards (MAWS) and the appropriate parts of the RSPCA/BVA Memorandum of Understanding (April 2001). These standards cover:  welfare neutering, assistance with veterinary treatment, providing advice, accommodating and re-homing animals, microchipping and so on. 

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 Charity Commission. 

## **Advancement of animal welfare** 

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 the comments in italics demonstrate the benefit provided to the public _._ All our charitable activities, as described in more detail 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. 

## **Charitable activities pursued for the public benefit** 

We support our local Inspectors by taking in, free of charge, mistreated, injured or abandoned animals.  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 moral benefit to humankind as a whole._ 

We provide subsidised veterinary treatment for animals which are sick or injured and belong to local people on low incomes.  We do this by providing basic veterinary health care at a subsidised cost at our clinic. _This work benefits those on means tested benefits by giving them financial help to obtain care for companion animals in need of veterinary treatment._ 

We provide subsidised neutering, microchipping and vaccination of companion animals for those in the Branch area on low incomes at our clinic. _This work helps to control dog/cat populations through neutering and benefits those on means tested benefits by giving them financial help to neuter, vaccinate and microchip companion animals, thereby promoting responsible pet ownership._ 

Animals in our care receive veterinary treatment, vaccination, neutering, and microchipping, and are assessed for rehoming. _This work helps to control the incidence and spread of disease and suffering through vaccination and neutering._ 

We rehome animals in need for a reasonable adoption donation to people willing and able to have a companion animal (dependant on a successful home check). _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 request a reasonable adoption donation for animals, and to carry out home checks, 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 respond to enquiries (both direct and via the Society’s national call centre) from the public about animals locally. _The public benefits from knowing that we can intervene to assist animals in need._ 

We offer free animal care advice at our Advice Centre and clinic. _The public benefits through the promotion of responsible pet ownership._ 

Within the terms of our governing document, we support the National Society by donations to special appeals, eg the work of the Overseas Department.  We support other RSPCA branches, eg helping with horse transport and stabling facilities in the area, and by donations for special projects. Veterinary support is also supplied to other local branches, including Wigan, Bury and others. We work together with other local animal welfare charities to find spaces to accommodate abandoned or injured animals, and provide subsidised neutering, vaccination and microchipping for stray animals before rehoming by other local animal rescue groups. _This work benefits the public by allowing us to help more animals in need._ 

We provide volunteering opportunities for those who wish to support our work, including trusteeship, fundraising, shop, clinic and administrative work. _This benefits local people and companies by providing the possibility of doing work which is compassionate and rewarding._ 

## **Volunteers and other support** 

Volunteers play a central role in the work of the Branch: as Trustees, committee members, and Branch Officers; helping at the Charity Shop, Advice Centre and Clinic; assisting at fund raising events; fostering and rehoming animals. The Branch also benefits from the unpaid out-of-hours activities of our paid staff; those who do not claim expenses to which they are entitled; and those who donate goods for sale or use. Bolton Council also gives the Branch discretionary rate relief in addition to the mandatory relief for registered charities. 

We estimate that our volunteers contributed some 4500 of their free time in 2022. On behalf of the animals helped, the Trustees acknowledge all this help, without which the Branch could not function, with many thanks. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

Following the closure our Chorley Old Road shop at the end of December 2021 most of our valued volunteers transferred to the Vernon Street shop in the new year along with several loyal customers. The Vernon St shop benefitted from increased sales and revenue. 

The sale of the Chorley Old Rd shop released funds which we ring-fenced to spend on the development of the building at Vernon St. 

Our clinics, running Monday to Friday, responded to growing demand for subsidised vet care as the cost of living crisis affected larger numbers of people: the local area suffers a high level of deprivation. 

Our contract with Nottingham University for students on placements at the clinic continues to run successfully. 



We are pleased to report that the Branch was again ranked first in the North Region of the RSPCA for animal welfare assistance, having provided help to 6809 dogs and cats, neutering 1830 animals and implanting 1557 microchips during the year. 

These achievements have only been possible because of the hard work and dedication of our vets, branch staff and volunteers who regularly work very long hours in often difficult circumstances. The trustees would like to record our appreciation for everything they do to allow this vital animal welfare work to continue. 

## **Fundraising** 

Unfortunately, the partnership with Pets at Home has now ended though we still receive smaller donations from their lifeline scheme and in the form of pet food etc, 

A significant contribution to Branch fundraising comes from the success of our charity shop which made a net profit for the year 2022 of £54317 (2021 £19874). Approximately £10000 of this was sales via Ebay. We would like to thank the staff and volunteers who identify and handle the sales of these items. 

We receive welcome donations via sources such as Amazon, Pay Pal, Just Giving, Facebook, Pets at Home Lifelines scheme etc, where the Branch is the nominated charity. 

All the above fully utilise the time of staff and volunteers to full capacity. 

## **Financial Review** 

The total incoming resources for the year amounted to £385,574 (2020 £301,934) including legacies of £80,581 (2020 £135,113).  Expenditure in the year amounted to £324,876 (2020 £229,333). 

There was a surplus of £60,698 for the year (2020 £72,602). 

The increase in the level of incoming resources during the year was mainly due to the big jump in clinic income, as a result of the clinic being open again all year (post Covid) and the increase in the opening hours to 5 days per week by August 2021. The sharp increase in expenditure was also due to the clinic, in respect of salaries for clinical staff and the cost of drugs etc. We were also delighted to receive a further £80,581 in legacy income during the 

year and are always very grateful to those supporters who remember us in their wills. 

The value of our investments returned a positive increase again of £7,453 by the end of the year, however they have shown a drop in the first quarter of 2022 as a result of the unrest in the Ukraine and Russia. These are long term investments and are under the advice of professional advisors. Shop income also recovered, however, for the reasons stated earlier in the report, we permanently closed our Chorley Old Road Shop from 20[th] December 2021 

The Branch also continued to benefit from the National Society’s door-to-door recruitment programme, receiving income of £24,134 during the year (2020 £25,173). 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The Branch holds reserves for 2 main reasons: 



- In order that levels of service provided for animal welfare may be maintained, and legal obligations to employees met, if there should be a downward trend in incoming resources, bearing in mind that such a downward trend is liable to coincide with increased demand for financial support. 

- Because of fluctuations in income from year to year, the main variable being legacies received over which we obviously have no control. Legacies in 2021 totalled £80,581, 2020 £135,113, 2019 £39,234 and 2018 £7,000. 

The target level for reserves (i.e. net current assets excluding legacies due) is calculated as the total expenditure for the two previous accounting periods, rounded down; this should ensure at least two years of operations following a drastic financial downturn. The target level for the reserves for the year 2021 was £425,844, and the actual reserves varied between £384,533 January and £503,615 on 31 December.  The target level for reserves for 2021 is £554,209. 

## **Investment and Deposits Policy** 

The Trustees make efforts to ensure that funds are deposited in accordance with the Society’s ethical policy, and also take advice from a professional financial advisor.  Otherwise they deposit funds with the following priorities: 

- To reduce the risk of loss, funds are spread between several banks, noting the compensation arrangements in each case. 

- Funds are deposited in order to maximise income. 

- To keep reasonable availability, term deposits are arranged to have staggered maturity dates. 

It is recognised that the interest on these deposits provides an essential income stream at a time of recession when voluntary income such as donations and collections will inevitably reduce and requests for assistance will increase. 

## **Overall Financial Aim** 

The overall financial aim is to have net liquid assets at the Reserve Policy figure of £554,209 and to maximise income from any temporary surplus funds by depositing in line with the above policy. We also aim to reduce our dependency on legacy income. 

## **Future plans** 

Our plans for animal welfare for 2023 are to continue to extend assistance to people in need by the operation of the clinic, and to continue to support National Society campaigns and the work of the Inspectorate. 

We intend to concentrate on extending the work of our clinic as there is an evident increase in demand for animal welfare assistance. 

We will continue to work together with other local animal welfare charities, eg Cats Protection, to benefit as many animals and owners as possible. This also gives us 



the opportunity to educate owners on the importance of ongoing welfare such as neutering, vaccinations and flea treatment. 

We obtained planning permission and will begin work in the New Year at Vernon Street to build on-site accommodation for students from Nottingham University in preparation for later in 2023. This will enable the branch to provide our own out of hours vet cover Monday – Friday, reducing our reliance on Animal Trust.  An additional benefit will be the possibility of extending the range of operations we can offer to clients. 

## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities** 

Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the Charity’s financial activities during the year, and of its financial position at the end of the year.  In preparing those financial statements the Trustees should follow best practice and are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent 

- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements. 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation 

The trustees are also responsible for maintaining accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity, and which will enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable law, regulations and trust deed.  They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

## **Report approval** 

This report was approved by the Board of Trustees when they met as the Branch Committee on 20 April 2023.

## **BASIS OF OPINION** 

We conducted our examination in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity.  This examination consisted of review of the accounting records and comparing the financial statements with the accounting records kept by the charity.  It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. 

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the financial statements.

1. which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements 

a) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act and b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act, have not been met or 

2. to which in our opinion attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
