## **Recruitment and Appointment of Management Committee** 

Under the Constitution of The Parrot Society UK the Council members are elected by the members of the Society and are elected to serve for a period of three years after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting. 

Due to the nature of the Charity and its objectives the majority of Council members are experienced aviculturalists who have been involved in the hobby most of their adult life. They are experienced in providing advice to new members of the hobby who have a wide age range. To be eligible to become a Council member you must have been a normal member  of  the  Society  for  at  least  2  years  and  be  proposed  by  one  member  and seconded  by  another  member  before  you  can  stand  for  Council.  Obviously  some members wish to assist the Society and do much good work for us on a voluntary basis. 

If certain management and business skills are in short supply on the Council, we have the ability to co-opt members, this ensures that our skill levels are maintained. 

## **Council Induction and Training** 

Most Council members are already familiar with the practical work of the charity having worked on aspects of our Shows and contributed articles to our monthly magazine and our free On-line publication Bird Scene over a long period of time. Additionally, new Council members are also encouraged to visit our office in Berkhamsted to see the advice provided from the centre. This allows them to gain more knowledge of the charity, browse our  extensive  avian  library  and  see  how  our  monthly  magazine  (our  life-blood)  is produced  and  despatched.  Our  Microsoft  Access  database  of  our  members  is  also demonstrated and allows new Council members to acquire knowledge of the records we maintain. These visits are lead by our Secretary and Editor. 

A  Question  and  Answer  pack  has  also  been  prepared  which  is  based  on  Charity Commission publications. This is distributed to new Council members together with a set of our last two years accounts and a copy of our Constitution.

**Trustees' Annual Report** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 August 2021** 

## **Structure, governance and management** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Risk Management** 

The Council conduct regular reviews of the major risks that we are exposed to. Obviously the Covid-19 pandemic that has swept the country during the financial year 2020/21 has had a major impact on the Society as three annual shows were cancelled in the period. With the upgrading of the African Grey Parrot to CITES Appendix 1 which came into effect on  4th  February  2017  there  was  a  considerable  amount  of  work  educating  our membership  and  the  public  on  the  issues  that  this  caused.  There  were  numerous enquiries relating to he the procedure to obtain Article 10 certificates. 

Avian  Influenza  continues  to  have  a  potential  risk  for  the  Society  although  there  is nowhere near the hype produced by the media during its peak. DEFRA are taking a more considered response to outbreaks of this disease and they now appear to accept that it is very difficult for parrots to catch and therefore through continued publicity in our monthly magazine we were able to allay fears of our members and the public who contact our office for advice. Our shows and Sale Days, when we are able to hold them due to Covid19, have become accustomed to the licensing and associated paperwork. 

During this financial year, coronavirus, which started in March 2020 meant that our 4th October 2020, 6th December 2020 and 11th July 2021 Shows had to be cancelled. 

Our investments during  the year have been very prudent as the Society feared the general financial situation at the commencement of the year and only invested in areas where we were protected by the £85,000 limit under the rules of the FCA. This has proved successful but has meant that as the Bank of England has a very low Base Rate it has been difficult to obtain a reasonable return on most of our investments. The reduction in the value of sterling against major currencies indicates an increase in in inflation and therefore careful management of our expenditure will have to be redoubled. 

## **Organisational Structure** 

The Parrot Society has a Council of up to 11 members who meet 6 times a year but due to coronavirus these meetings are being held remotely. Our Council are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. The present Council has a compliment of 9 members  and  an  excellent  mix  of  business  and  professional  skills  allied  to  strong avicultural knowledge. The secretary attends all Council meetings but does not have a vote. The Chairman and Secretary handle the day-to-day management of the Society, these  two  individuals  have  daily  contact  by  telephone  and  e-mail,  and  a  part  time administrative  assistant  also  based  at  our  Berkhampstead  office  with  the  Secretary support them. 

## **Related Parties** 

The Society has no related parties, although in so far as it is complimentary to the charity's objects, we will work with other clubs and organisations in the avicultural world. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The objects of the Society are to promote the study and conservation of parrots and parrot like birds excluding the domesticated form of the Budgerigar. In order to achieve these objectives the Society publishes magazines, e-magazines and other literature that it makes available to the public. It holds public meetings, lectures and exhibitions and provides advice and information to the public. We also have 3 Area meetings to provide information around the country. Our extensive free website, which was updated during the year, also assists us in providing valuable information to the public.

## **Trustees' Annual Report** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 August 2021** 

## **Achievements and performance** 

The main areas of charitable activity are the provision of advice and information both to our members and the public on all aspects in relation to parrots and promote the study and conservation of parrots and parrot like birds. 

## **Advice and Information** 

Our advice and information centre is based at our Berkhamsted office and we provide help to anyone having problems or wanting to know more about parrots. Funding for this service that is spearheaded by our Secretary is from funds generated at our Shows. We have  produced four publications entitled 'Grey Parrots as Pets - Some  guidelines for beginners', 'Amazon Parrots as Pets - Some guidelines for beginners', 'Parakeet Breeding - Some guidelines for beginners' and 'Colour Mutations - Some guidelines for beginners'. Feedback on all of these publications has been very pleasing and our Council consider that this is an excellent way to provide quality advice both to our members and the public on important areas of aviculture. It is our intention to continue to use this medium to inform and educate our audience. In addition we have supplemented our information by producing an e-magazine known as Bird Scene which is published four times a year, accessed through our website www.theparrotsocietyuk.org. 

## **Conservation of Parrots** 

We continue to support parrot conservation projects around the world, those that we have given financial support to in the current year have been: - 

- World Parrot Trust for African Grey parrots in the D.R. of Congo. 

- World Parrot Trust for the provision of artificial nest boxes for the Nyasa Lovebird in 

- the Zambezi. 

## **Financial review** 

For any Society finance is always an area that requires considerable attention. Money can so easily be spent on items or services that do not give value for money. The Society has had  a challenging  financial  year  in 2020/2021  losing  income  expected  following  the cancellation of our three shows due to coronavirus and achieved a deficit of £33,318 during the year. 

## **Principal Funding Sources** 

A small amount is received from the sale of publications, second-hand books donated to the Society by members, binders and club badges. The major income comes from Shows run by the Society, subscriptions for the monthly magazine and commercial advertisements in the monthly publication and bequests. 

## **Investment Policy** 

The Society has always had a very prudent investment policy. Most bird keepers are not rich and there has always been a tradition of careful spending amongst them. Possibly for this reason our Council has always taken great care to protect our surpluses and use the income from the investments to subsidise annual subscriptions.

## **Trustees' Annual Report** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 August 2021** 

## **Financial review** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Reserves Policy** 

Initially the Council were concerned that the Animal Welfare Act 2007 could make our Shows uneconomic to run by enforcing welfare issues and requirements that would be expensive to implement. For this reason and the possibilities of a serious outbreak of Avian Influenza that might have decimated the UK bird-keeping hobby,  our Reserves policy has been, like our Investment Policy, very prudent. This has proved a sensible approach as the coronavirus that is now with us will mot have such a devastating effect on our future than it will have on other charities and businesses. It does not now look as though  we  will  experience  difficulties  with  the  Animal  Welfare  Act  but  the  general financial state of both the country and to a degree private individual's does give the Society concern. Our strategy is to continue  to build our reserves through operating surpluses where we can, we are aware that Animal Rights Activists are targeting birdkeepers and we may well need these Reserves to protect our interests against these Activists. If this does not prove necessary Council would like to consider the purchase of office accommodation but at present that does not seem as necessary as protecting our activities against the Animal Rights Activists. Council, however, will continue to monitor this area carefully. 

## **Plans for future periods** 

The Society wishes to continue to provide advice and assistance to the public because there is a high level of need and interest from them in parrots and such intelligent animals do give rise to difficult problems when they are not properly stimulated and cared for, both for their dietary and housing requirements.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Parrot Society UK** 

## **Year ended 31 August 2021** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Parrot Society UK ('the charity') for the year ended 31 August 2021. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

3. the  financial  statements  do  not  comply  with  the  applicable  requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true  and fair' view  which is not  a matter considered  as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have  come across  no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **The Parrot Society UK** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** 

## **Year ended 31 August 2021** 

## **1. General information** 

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and  is  unincorporated.  The  address  of  the  principal  office  is  Audley  House, Northbridge Road, Berkhamsted, Herts, HP4 1EH. 

## **2. Statement of compliance** 

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011. 

## **3. Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. 

## **Going concern** 

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. 

## **Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 

## **Fund accounting** 

All incoming resources and resources expended are treated as unrestricted. 

## **Incoming resources** 

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: 

- income  from  subscriptions  is recognised  in the year to which the subscription relates. 

- income from donations, grants and legacies is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. 

- income is generated from advertisements in the monthly magazine and on the Charity's  website.  Income  from  advertisements  is  recognised  in  the  period  the advertisement is published. 

**- 9 -** 



## **The Parrot Society UK** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** 

## **Year ended 31 August 2021** 

- income from shows is recognised in the year in which the show takes place. Any income relating to future shows is deferred until the period in which the event takes place.

**The Parrot Society UK** 

**Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 August 2021** 

## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Incoming resources** _**(continued)**_ 

- sales income is generated from the sale of books, the majority of which are donated by members. This income is recognised in the period the sale takes place. 

## **Resources expended** 

Support costs have been allocated between the activities in relation to the income received in the year. 

## **Tangible assets** 

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent  accumulated  depreciation  and  subsequent  accumulated  impairment losses. 

An  increase  in the  carrying  amount  of an asset as a result of a revaluation,  is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities.  A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities. 

## **Depreciation** 

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: 

Equipment - 25% and 33% reducing balance 

## **Impairment of fixed assets** 

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value  exceeds  the  recoverable  amount,  the  asset  is  impaired  accordingly.  Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. 

## **Stocks** 

Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition. 

## **Financial instruments** 

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
