RISK MANAGEMENT As part of our ongoing commitment to reviewing and miligating against the potential risks that the chanty faces, the trustees have created a risk register. The purpose of this is to predict any risks Ihal the charity may face and take preventative steps to mitigate againsl any adverse '•w•tb impact. In addition to the risks faced by the charity, the trustees have also taken steps to mitigate against any risks that our staff and voluntèers may face during the course of their duties. Th8 Irustees have developed a lone worker policy lo support our staff and volunteers to fe81 safe and supported at work. Staff and volunteers We also required to und6rtake a package of training to ensure that staff and volunteers feel equipped to manage any incidents thal may occur during the course of their duties. This included first aid training, health and safety training and fire safely. The Branch carried out a risk assessment in 2021, which remains under periodic review, and idenlrfied the following risks which are ongoing: Loss of income through error or fraud Loss of reputation Loss of income through outside forces Insufficient trustees to continue Insuffi¢ienl volunteers to fundraise Risk of claims by volunteers or the public Adverse publicity Risk of inadvertent nonmplIance with complex bgislation such as GDPR Insufficient suitable homes for Ihe anirnals rescued and rehabilitated, particularty the elderfy and abused Health and safety of staff and volunteers worf(ing with abused and neglected animals and their owners in the most difficult afeas of animal welfare Insufficient resources to help all the animals that need us. The reality of animal r8scue in London is Ihat all our resources and those of other charities are always ovepwhelmed with many more animals needing our help than can be accommodat8d. The trustees have a human resources and health and safety contract Acton Jennings LLP for advlce and support. We appointed tsvo lemporary truslees in early 2024. who have specific risk & compliance experience. A new risk assessment with mitigations will be carried out in 2024. STRATEGIC AIMS AND OBJECTIVES, PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES Th8 object of the charity is to promote kindness and good care and prevent or suppress cruelty lo animals by all lawfvl means with partlar reference lo tho area of the Branch, in accordance with the polie5 of the Society. Our aCtivitS to achieve the objectives include the following- To provide veterinary welfare assistsnce for those on low incomes. This work benefits pet owners vtho cannot assist their pets themselves and are distressed to witness their pet suffering. The trustees have devebped a policy which will seek to provide support Ih veterinary bills lo those on a tow income but not necessarily in receipt of welfare payments. The trusiees identified that there were a proportion of people in our branch
area who may rt be able to receive supp)rt yth their bills, but they are still struggling financially and wouhy be considered as being "in work povety". The trustees have approved and put into place Ihe-Help with Vels Bills" policy which seeks to support this group of people and ensure that the weware of their pets paramount. To provide neutering and microchipping faciliS for those on low incom6s. This work benefits those members of the public on low income by giving them financial help and promoting responsible pet ownership. Neutering has both behavural and health benefits for the animal which in tum b6neffts the owner. To support Ihe Societys Inspectorate in t1r Irk providing financial assistance and èmergency accommodation for mistreated or abandoned animals, including pets whose owners suffer ill health or financial difficulties or pass away. The Societs inspectorate, as well as providing education, infomation and advic8. rescues animals in distress and enforces laws against the cruel mistreatment of animals in England and Wales by bringing prosecut)n. This work is key to Ihe prevention or suppression of cruelty, part of the RSPCA objects and promotes humane sentiments towards animals which Involves moral benèfrt to humankind as a vknokg. Thè National Call Centre accepts complaints about animals in distress frcwn 7am to 10pm. every day of the year and the public benefits by being able to call in for help whèn an animal is suffering, which can be very distressing for humans to witness and feel powerless to help. To accept stray and owned animals for rehoming. Animals in our care receive vetèrinary treatment, vaccination. neulering, microchipping and are assessed for rehoming. This work helps lo control the incidence and spread of disease and suffering through vaccination and neutering. The work benefits our local community including local authorities as it reduces the incidence of abandonmenl and cruelty and the public knows Ihal we assist animals in need. Whilst we are primarily an animal charity, the service we offer pel owners who cannot assist their pets thems8lv8s in times ol crisis can relieve much dislress lor the owner as wéll as the pet. We provide many volunteering opportunities for those who wish lo support our work. including fostering. fundraising and relail opportunities. This benefits It)cal people and companles by providing the possibility of doin9 work vthich is both compassionate and rewarding and offers experience which may assist participants in finding paid work. It is nol possible to quantify the financial value ol our volunteers but in 2022 we had the benefrt ol over 12.000 hours ol volunteer work. Our ¢harily shops provide a valuable source of Iow-cost good qualty recyded goods to the benefit of the public and the environment. The trustees have reviewed Ihe outcomes ar*d achK?vements of our obj'ectives and activtties for the year to ensure they maIn focused on our charttabl8 aims and continue lo deliver benefits to the public. We have complied with this duty under the Charities Act 2022 to have due regard to public benefrt guidance published by the Commission. The trustees have devised their branch aims and objectives for 2024 and they can be summarised as fdlows: To Mer wrth the Purfey. Catetham & District Branch. effective absorbing the rest of Croydon Borough wstcodes (Purley. Couldson. South Croydon. New Addiscombe. Selsdon elc.) into the South London Branch. This is planned lo be finalised by the end of June 2024 and will increase our catchment area to a population of over haff a million people.

To strengthen our status as the Pets al Home Wimbledon partner charity by meeting our commitrnents to have a regular presence on their premises. To diversify the revenue stream and ensure that our branch is adequately funded through different means. This will involve performing a digrtal strategy & social media Calendar and ensuring that fundraising remains a prbority. To ensu that the branch is able to offer financial support for those in need to ensure that all animals are protected frorn cruelty. This involves continuing the successful"Help wilh Vets Bill" policy which will offer support to those in work povety who may not be rec8iving additional support from the stste. To ensure that the branch remains fiscally viable with the aim of maintsining a reserve of al least 9 months of operational expenses.

To implement and monitor a number of key performance indicalors IKPlsl lo measure the Branch's perfomance against objectives The Branch Manager is an integral part of the charity and il is important that She has adequate Tesources lo meet the needs of the branch operations. As menlioned above, we sadly had lo make the decision to exit the lease for our Calerham shop. Despite considerable efforts by the shop managers and volunteers. ably assisted by our Branch manager and retail Iwstee. we were unable to generate sufficient revenue lo avoid a loss. With the pro$Cts for tuming this around lo be low. the d8asion was made lo leave. The exil will happen during 2024 and is being carefully managed. We would like to put on record our gratitude for the dedication and support from our shop managers and volunteers. The makeup of the trustees is diverse and there is a wealth of experience reftected in the board. The Branch will seek to increase rts fostering neork lo allow the Branch to have greater capacity for rehoming. The Branch Manager will continue to develop all activtttes induding income generation. re- homing and community engagement.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Sl nlflcant a Ilvltlos The committee are pleased to report thal its objectives for 2023 were met. in particular: The rehoming of a record numbers of cats Finding and agr08ing the lease of a new charity $p in Tooting Establishing a good working relationship with a Trussell Trust foodbank to help distribute our donations and 1p k)cal pet owners keep Iheir animals Established new lill systems for ¢)ur shops to enable Gift Ahj in the future Established links wtth local group in our new area and conducted a litter pick alongside Friends of T¢ting Cornmon Arranged for our Animal Welfare Officer to be trained on microchip implantation to prepare and support the local communty for compulsory cat microchipping in 2024 In 2023, the Branch continued to accept all animals they were requested to take from thè RSPCA Inspectorate. providing boarding and fostering for animals until they could either be netsyorked or rehomed through the Branch. The Branch conlinued to take in cats where the Branch themselves identrfied a welfare issue. ensuring thal those animals with the greatest need were cared for and horned. With our AWO fully settled inio the rofe, she was able lo work MO dosely with the local
Inspectorate team. helping them with difficult jobs and in retum getting their advtce and assistance on branch animals. On one occasion. our AWO assisted th8 Inspeclorale at a one bed flat with over 80 cats. Towards the end ofthe year, a member ofthe public gol in louch about local strays they'd been feeding in Thomlon Heath. however the numbers were starting to get out of hand. Our AWO attended and upon seeing that the living Conditions were suitable. and local residents were happy lo continue to feed and look out for the cats. we began a trap. neuter. release (TNR) programme with the - around 201 Through collaboralion vrith the local residents. the use of larger traps, and lols of time and effort. we managed to TNR another 9 cats. with the work continuing into 2024. We were able to start rabbit fostering during the year. After many months hard work we sourced a rabbit foslerer prepared to have a 3'2m hutch in their garden. Unfortunately due to personal issues, they later had to stop offering fostering to sets of rabbits. We are Iherefrjre on the lookout for people who can help. In order to increase our income and to secure future sustainability for the branch, we started the search for a new charity shop in our new area of Balham and Tooling. After several viewings and lols of research around the potential areas, we negotialed and secured the lease on a nèw retail unft on Upper Tooling Road. The renovations and Tecruitmenl process were well underway by the end of the year. The Branch was selected as the official charity partner of Pets Al Home Wimbledon store for the second lime. and as such held several fijndraising events at the store. We wére also able lo benefit from their in-store donation station v*hich helped us provide our fosler8rs with food and equipment for the animals. The Branch has remained in l¢xal control sinGe its relum to Ioc81 control in January 2020. and the committee remains enthusiastic and is keen to ensure the Branch is given a new lease of life. We have Temained active across various social media channels, hav8 maintalned our 13,000 strong following on Facebook and have increased our Instagram folkJweTS to over 2,000. We have established good relationships with local media to help us share and promote our work. We are also active on Tv•rytt8r and have launched our own YouTube channel.

The Branch made a £10.000 donation to C4, the London based cat neutering charity, helping owners struggling to pay for cat neutering. rethve the seNice at a subsidised rate.

After this. she was moved to a foster home so we coukj leam more about her personalrty to find her the perfeth forever home. However withln a few weeks PersepPK)ne started drinklng and urinating a lot more frequently. and upon further v8t check$, our fears of diabetes We confimed. The next few ekS Te filled with vel appointments and injections to try and get Persephone's insulin velS righl. Our foster Carers did a fantsstic job of caring for her during this time. We Vre very lucky that Persephone loves her fc*)d, and so injecting her at meal times was quick and easy as she wa$ distractedl Once Perspehone was stable agaln. we then fac8d the difficult task of finding the right home for her. 11 took several month$ of searching and advertising. but we were lucky enough lo find a lady who had experience of diabekn'c cats and wanted another cat lo care for. We then liaised with her local branch to look for suitable charity vets who would be able to help keep th& treatment costs down. We managed to get an agreement with a vel not tw far away and werè able to go ahead with the adopti(. Persephone has been in her new home since November 2023 and is happy and healthy.
