## Introduction 

The trustees present their annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024. The trustees are satisfied with the performance of the charity branch during the year and the position on 31 December 2024 and consider that the charity is in a strong position to continue 

2 



its activities during the coming year, and that the charity’s assets are adequate to fulfil its obligations. 

## Declaration of Conflict of Interest 

The branch has a comprehensive Conflict of Interest policy and mitigation strategy to manage the conflicts. Conflicted Trustees leave the room when appropriate and cannot partake in any discussions or votes related to the connected party.  Each committee meeting begins with any updates to conflicts of interest.  Decisions relating to any renumeration, pay or other benefit will always exclude conflicted Trustees. 

There were no conflicts of interest identified in 2024. 

We always welcome interest and applications from possible new trustees.  If you are interested - in finding out more about becoming a Trustee, please email info@rspca bedfordshiresouth.org.uk . 

## Chair’s Report by Jo Byrne 

I am pleased to present the Annual Report for our RSPCA Bedfordshire South Branch for 2024, highlighting our achievements, challenges, and the path forward for our Branch. 

We successfully launched our first free microchipping event in November 2023, aimed at providing essential identification for pets as well as giving those struggling with the cost-of-living crisis an opportunity to have their animal companions chipped without charge. We chipped 98 animals at our first event, thus enhancing their chances of being reunited with their owners in case of separation. In total, across five events, we have chipped 996 animals. 

Throughout the year, we organised several fundraising events to support our operations and welfare programs. These events not only raised vital funds but also increased community engagement and awareness of our small Branch. 

I am delighted to report that our fostering programme continues to be successful, and we have rehomed a total of 269 animals during the year, including cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and other small furries.  This programme is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our staff, fosterers, and volunteers. 

Our Branch is very fortunate to have a strong team of Trustees who have passion and determination in guiding our Branch’s success. We have our tireless Branch Manager who manages the day-to-day running of the Branch, dealing with an ever-increasing number of calls for help, co-ordinating the animal fosterers and volunteers, and ensuring the Branch adheres to all required organisational compliance. This year, we’ve been delighted to add our Branch Manager Assistant to the team to lend our Branch Manager a much-needed extra pair of hands! Our effervescent Shop Manager maintains the steady steering of our Ampthill Charity Shop, which continues to serve as a vital focal point for the local community – and donations are always welcome! 

The commitment and leadership demonstrated by the entire Bedfordshire South Branch team has been instrumental in driving our mission forward and ensuring the smooth operation of our charity and I thank them all for their dedication and tenacity, particularly during these financially trying times.

Despite our successes, we face challenges – from rising veterinary bills and the increasing cost of pet food, to the increased number of calls for support and, sadly, rehoming animal companions lost, abandoned, or whose owners can no longer afford their care. To address these challenges effectively, we need to explore strategies to enhance fundraising efforts, recruit more fosterers, and – where we can afford to – provide support to pet owners struggling with veterinary expenses. 

As we push forward through another year, I am confident that we have a strong foundation to build upon. With the dedication of our robust team, the support of our community, and a focus on the future, I believe we are well-positioned to overcome challenges and achieve even greater success in the coming year. 

In conclusion, I would like to express my gratitude to the Trustees, staff, fosterers, volunteers, branch members, donors, and the community for their unwavering support and commitment to our mission. Together, RSPCA Bedfordshire South Branch will continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of animals!

## Volunteering 











As a Branch we rely on volunteers to make our aims of helping animals in need and improving animal welfare a reality.  Our volunteers provide the backbone to our work and make a huge contribution to prevent cruelty and promote kindness.  The numbers of volunteers vary throughout the year.  Volunteer roles include: 

























- ✓ Administration 







- ✓ Social Media 





- ✓ Fostering 







- ✓ Driving and transport 







- ✓ Events 





- ✓ Fundraising 







- ✓ Shop work 

















































































































5 






























































































































✓ Trustee 













## Achievements & Branch Statistics 











We re-homed: 





- ✓ 171 cats 







- ✓ 52 rabbits 





- ✓ 46 small furries 







- ✓ TOTAL: 269 
















































































































We are always looking for new volunteers and rely on their hard work and commitment to be able to do all we can to help animals in need.  Volunteering with us is a great way to meet likeminded people who share the same enthusiasm for animal welfare.  Anyone can volunteer and we encourage volunteers from all sections of the community.  If you would like to find out - more, please e-mail: info@rspca bedfordshiresouth.org.uk 































## Thank you to ALL our volunteers! We couldn’t do it without you! 

























## Fundraisers 
















































This year we held craft fairs throughout the years raising vital funds to continue our work locally. Our team, trustees and volunteers worked tirelessly to continue to increase fundraising to cover ever increasing costs.  In addition to our craft fairs we held several Facebook auctions and 

























































































































6 






























































































































started to reach out and build our social media presence to support our branch, tell the stories of our rescues and most of all build a good reputation locally and to increase online donations. 



















































































































































































## Microchipping Events 












On June 24[th] , 2024, microchipping became mandatory for cats and the Branch therefore prepared to support our local community of cat owners to be compliant by offering free microchipping in the lead up to and following implementation of this new statute.  Whilst we remain unclear who maybe policing the possible £500 fine, we welcome more cats and other pets to be microchipped. 





































**A microchip with up-to-date details is the golden ticket home….** 

















We microchipped a total of 996 animals, including cats, dogs and rabbits at our local microchipping events across the year. 





































































































































7 





























































































































































































































































## Charity Objectives 











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 unlawful means, with reference to the area of the branch, in accordance with the policies of the Society.  We are to concentrate on our charitable aims and continue to deliver benefits to the public.  Under the Charities Act 2011, the advancement of animal welfare is recognised as a distinct statutory charitable purpose. The legislation and The Animal Welfare Act of the same year indicated an acceptance by society that treating a living creature with compassion has a moral benefit for the public.  Whilst this public benefit is clear, it is sometimes difficult to balance against any detriment. 















































The Branch’s animal welfare work, although local in nature, benefits society at large, and aims to help people in need with the care of their animals.  The Branch helps unwanted, abandoned, and sick animals.  We support our local Inspectorate by taking in mistreated or abandoned animals, including pets whose owners suffer ill health, financial difficulties, loss of housing or pass away.  The Society’s Inspectorate rescues animals in distress and enforces the law against cruelty and mistreatment of animals in England and Wales by bringing prosecutions. 







































The work is key to ‘The prevention and suppression of cruelty’ part of the RSPCA objectives and promotes humane sentiments towards animals which involve their moral benefit to humankind. The branch offers help and advice to rehome unwanted animals or strays. We take in numbers that reflect the space we have for the most abused and neglected animals and in order of most need.  We think this is fair and compliant with welfare needs. The adoption fee charged is reasonable and highlights the ongoing personal and financial commitment of pet ownership. Animals in our care are given a health check, wormed, flea treated, vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. We respond to enquiries from the public via telephone and email direct to the Branch Manager at: info@rspcabedfordshiresouth.org.uk 


























































































































































8 






























































































































The Branch raises money to support its work through its charity shop in Ampthill, which also help to promote our rehoming, neutering and other messages in line with RSPCA policies, campaigns, and values. The Branch provides volunteering opportunities for those who wish to support our work, including fostering, raising awareness of animal welfare issues through the promotion of campaigns, fundraising and retail opportunities in our shop. This benefits local people and companies through providing the possibility of doing work which is both compassionate and rewarding and offers experience which may assist participants in finding paid work. We thank our volunteers for their hard work, dedication, and commitment. The trustees have reviewed the outcomes and achievements of our objectives and activities for the year, to ensure they have focused on our charitable aims and continue to deliver benefits to the public. In deciding what activities, the Branch should undertake we have complied with the duty under the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Commission. 













































































## Statement of Trustee Responsibilities 











The trustees are required under the Charities Act 2011 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 (unless the charity is entitled to prepare accounts on the alternative receipts and payments basis).  In preparing the financial statements giving a true and fair view, the trustees should follow best practice and: 

































- ✓ Select suitable accounting policies and 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 departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements 















- ✓ Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume the charity will continue in operation. 



















The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity, and which enable with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity, and which enables and ensures that the financial statements comply with applicable law and regulations. 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. 







































## Rescue and Foster Stories 













## Benny & Teddy 















In early September Beds South RSPCA received a request from a dog warden in Slough for an urgent space for a tiny little kitten, with just one eye and a cleft lip. We leapt into action. 























































































































































9 































































































































He had been handed in along with his mum, dad and two siblings, following a member of the public fleeing a domestic abuse situation. A vet check deemed the kitten - said to be 12 weeks old - was in good health but TINY! An extra surprise for our fosterer who took him in was that the kitten came accompanied by one of his siblings, easily three times the size of his little brother! 


































































The kittens were officially named: Benjamin Button-Sized and Theodore JetSetter....aka Benny and the Jets...but we soon settled on, simply, Benny and Teddy. 




























































The Boys grew fast, and Benny's appetite is second to none...meaning he was soon only HALF the size of his brother Teddy! Two subsequent vet checks gave Benny and Teddy the thumbs up for rehoming. 












































Today, The Boys are in their forever home - with Sam and Hannah - as well as Charlie, Tony and Merlin, their three other cats. Tony is blind so also an indoor-only cat (as Benny is) - and he loves to give the family's newest members a thorough washing before a proper snuggle and snooze. 















































































































































































































10 
































































































































## Brie’s Story 









We can tell her story in the pictures…. 





**Brie was suffering Pyometra.** This is a serious uterine infection that affects unspayed female cats. It occurs within weeks of a cat being in estrus (or in heat) as a result of abnormal hormone changes. Bloody, purulent vaginal discharge and abdominal swelling are the most indicative symptoms of pyometra. Prompt veterinary treatment is critical because pyometra can be fatal if untreated. 





































**As well as the Pyometra poor Brie had fly strike** . Fly strike occurs when flies lay eggs on an animal, the eggs then pupate into larvae (also known as maggots) that feed on the flesh of the animal whilst they are still alive. This is, without a doubt, a very painful condition. It is also life threatening, and it is common for affected animals to go into shock once this process begins. Without treatment fly strike can be fatal. 


































































Our volunteer spend many hours on a busy 







layby trying to trap Brie.  They did NOT give up!  Brie was immediately taken to the vet, and everything was done to save Brie’s life. 















## **Removing the maggots and Brie at the vet:** 
















































































































































































































































11 




































































































































## **Brie today in her loving forever home and living her best life** 













































































































































































































































All this suffering could have been avoided had Brie been spayed. But look at her NOW!  What a tail, girl!

Th¢ trustees present ilieir repon with tlie financial staieinenis of the chai'ity foi" thc year etjded 31 D¢ccTnbei ?024. Tlie
stees have adopted thc pi'ovisions of Accounting alld Reporting by Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practic¢
applicable to clwkties preparing their accounts in accord￿)Ce witli tbe Financial R¢poitiiig Standard applicable in the UK
and Republic of Ir¢12nd IFRS 1021 (effective l January 20191.
FINANL CIAL REVIEW
Treasurers Report
In 2024. our ￿ndraISing efforts ¢ontinued to iinprov¢, alld we held a number of events which w¢re veiy su¢¢¢ss￿l, and our
income from fimdr8isll)g ￿75 incr¢ased by over £6,000 vs 2023.
Sales from Ol￿ shop in Anipthill were dow) vs prsor year. and the TrnsTres, Branch nwiager and Shop Inanager are looking
at ways to increas¢ sales in 2025.
0￿. adoption income was similar to prioi. year, althougli diie to thc licalth and neglect of the animals. prioi. to b¢ing placed in
our care, lh¢ veterinary exp¢nses were signifjcaiitly ii)cr¢ased. However, we are very proud of QUT fostering and adopti011
protsrams whicli are very success￿1 alld an iniportant sepdscE that we provide tts thc ansmals we rescue and the community.
We continue 10 work with vets and pet food suppliers to negotiate reduced fecs whei'e possible, but as the number of Anin]als
in our care increase. it is inevitable thai costs associaied with thtir care and welfare will increase also.
The trnstccs ntsde the decision at tbe begiilliing of the year to recruit a Brallch AssistarLt on a part lime basis io support the
Branch il&aRagei". who li&d bcen working a significant amount of Overt￿Me. All the trustees I￿ve tiill tiine jobs, and tt is
irLcrea5illgly diffielllt to recruEt vol￿tecrs. The acldiiional pa￿011 expense for this position was not Intended to also increase
income, but w¢ will be looking for ways to increase income to offset tl)is cost in 2025.
We received a legacy in 2024 totsllÉng £177,718, with no Sp￿]riC request or rcstrictiojjs on how we were 10 spend this
money. The trLiStees would like to invest this inoiicy, (in addition to the £25,000 fund we had previously designated for a
new shop or otlier illvesunent}, ill a project that will noi tsnly allow us to help anIn￿lS and our cotDmunity but will also
provide an ongoiiig incoiiie stream. W¢ ￿ryI1 continue to congidei options in 2025.
Largely part to the addition of the Brach Assistant overall increase in payroll Costs, increase iii veterinary costs and i'eduction
in shop sales, we would Iiave made a Ios5 In 2024 of approxsinately £31,000, if we had not received the legacy. W¢ covered
this shortfall by utilizing existing unrestricted funds from prior ycars.
All trusit%s reEllain conm]itted to die aim ot. inci'easing income. and wc are actively exploring investmeni OPPOLtunities, to
further enhanc¢ the brancb and 10 ensure we have enough fuiids available to be able to continue canying out our ainazing
worL coverllig all aspects of anunal welfare foi aniii)als in and out of olli. c&r¢, rescuing ai)iillals where necess&rv and
supporting out fantastic t¢am of foslei's.
