IVelfNre Objeclives The Donkey Breed Society continues to contribute 10 the maintenance of welfare siandards by engaging with other equine w'elfare b(xJies at a national level and we continue to be a member of the National Equine Welfare Council. During 2021 we liave been unable to carry out all our usual phvsical events including displaj., exhibitions and general meetings with tlie public in order to pursue our welfare objectives as regard cducation of the widcr public. We have, however, continucd to ensure OUT web51te, social mcdia and other publications incliide articles on general welfare and our Facebook pages continiie to act as a first point of call for man) who require guidance, either '1th their own donkeys, in advance of purchase or where they have a concern about donkeys potcntially in need of assistance and protection.

DONKEY BREED SOCIETY TRUSTEE8' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 Our Volunleer. The Society can only fiinctioii becaiise of the many unpaid volunteers who sit on the various committees or who act as Regional and Area Rcpresentatives and give up untold hours to support the Society's aims. There are 9 Regions in the Society 5UPPOrted by area representatives and there are 4 Society Committees with a number of committee members. There are also groups who look after the Active Donkey Award Ed the Stud Book. MeetingF5 for these have been carried out online ai)d have eiiabled the best to be inade of a relatively ph)'5ically inactive year, M'ith tnany plans for the fiiture itJcludin¥ how to rther develop the positive5 of usiiig online interactions. Public En¥agemEllt ?021 was a more active year thali 2020, biit still very rniich reduced from pre-covid year5. The London New Year's Day Pande went ahead but on a dilTerent basis and the DBS (along with other animals} was unable to L4ke part. Palm Sunday, Nativitv services, Parades, maiiy Shows and a great number of local evei)ts did not take place due to the need, or wish. of members and the public to maintain social distancing. A new and highly successful event in 20? I for the Society was taking part in 'Your Horse Live, This was a prestigious 3 day event held in Stoneleigh. The Socielj. plus 4 donkeys, were present for all 3 days, along with the Society shop selling donkey-related goods including educational books. An educational stsnd was present, talks ivere given by experts in various donkey-related fields (such as donkey-specific foot care) and members who manned the stand had an exhausting but highly productive time talking non-stop 10 a very wide ranging audience of the public. Speci141 Qui4li¢ies Donkeys have a wonderful ability to interact calmly and safely ivith members of Slxiety who have challenging needs. Despite physical contact being restricted during mii¢h of 2021, those instances w,here it has been permitted have been extra special and photographs of donkeys have brought much joy to those unable to get oiit gnd about. For many, the interaction with their own donkqNs ai home has assisted greatly in relieving mentsl health isslles. With more people exploring the Countryside, the numbers who have now 'met' these gentle creatures on new- found walks has greatly increased and it is often reported that families now in¢liide adonkey visit on Iheir outings as it brings them all so much pleasure to interact with donkevs, albeit over a fen¢e. Regionul EngfigemeRI RegFional Delegate5 and Area Representative5 Continue to be the grass roots of engagement with potential members and the wider public. As Covid restrictions have lifted, soine areas have been able to hold socially distanced day5, Inainly focusing on outdoor events such as walks or picnic5. There have been variations in leve15 of activity due to the personal confjdence leve15 of members regarding meetit]g others but generally some face to lace. albeit socially distanced, activities have taken place. Media Engagement The Societ)J continues to produce an annual A4 colour magazine 'The Donkey, which is available lor public purchase as well as Ihree editions of a members, publication 'Bray Talk, Newsletters are also produced in the Regions. Copies of these are available io members and also often distributed to veis, farriers, feed merchants and anyone M,ho has expressed an interest in learning more about donkeys. Each publication invites advertisements and educational articles from stakeholder groups and includes infomiative articles from members as well as coniaci details for members of Ihe public wishing to find out more. 1veb.sile UFEdSocial Medi The Society Continues to engage with its members and the general public b). boih paper and online routes. The website has links to social media applications, such as Facebook and Twitter which are regularly gccessed by members and a miich lder publi¢ audience. Whilst much of the information shared is demonstrating Correct care and use of donkeys, this glso leads to a good deal of discussion and information sharing on best prgctices amongst both members and non-members and is a valuable tool for rapid response to public enqiiiry. particularly on welfare niatters.
DONKEY BREED SOCIETY TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 OUR PURPOSES AND ACTIVITIES Purpose The Donkcy Breed Society is a company. IiTnited by guarantee which was registered as a charity, INO 292268), on 05 August 1985.

This revieiv looks at ihat have achieved and the outcomes of our w'ork in the previous 12 months. The review looks at our successes in achieving the objects of the charity and the benefits they have brought to our long-eared friends and the people who look after them. The revieiv also helps us ensure our aim, objectives and activities remained flicused on our stated purposes. We have referred to the Charity Commission s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our objectives and in planning our future activities. The Trustees are of the opinion the activities undertaken during ihe year provide public benefit not just in this countrv but elsewhere in the world. During 2021 we in¢re&sed our activity level from the enforced low of 2020, but manv events where we would have been preseni, failed to Tun. In addition to attendance at Your Horse Live, as mentioned above, Ive carried out the following.. The Aclive DonkeyAwffirdScheme (ADA) Whilst opportuiiitie5 for getting oiit and about with donkeys remained sonieivhat limited in 2021, tlie ADA scheine continued to encourage member to caTry Out varying activitie5 I.1th their donkeys. Many of these were shared ot] Social media, such as Facebook, to promote both the capabilities and the welfare benefits of these type of event5, particularly to inforn] non-members. Driving Coinpetitive driving shows were very limited however memberg took their donkeys out for pleasure driving tvent5 as w'ell as participatin¥ in event5 of¥<inised by local groups and other Societies. These event5 ¥ave opportunities to show non-lnembers the capabilities of donkeys. often amongst other members of the equine world. EdHcatioM A full range of proficiency tests are available to all ages to download from Liur website. These are noi restricted to Inembers, although it is the members who in turn engage with the general public and pass on the standard of care required for a healthy donkey to live out lis life to maximum potential. Our educational leatlets are aimed for use in group events, specif1cally for our club membership which are often attached to schools, although they are equall). useful for individuals. Our rgnge of other educaiional maierial includes the creation of online talks, which are then recorded and made available via YouTube. We continue to mgintsin an Educational Bursgry fund that is open to students, of any age, to assist with the acquisition of books and publications or tools and equipmentthat would enable the student to improve the welfare of donkeys, primarily in the United Kingdom but also throug]iout the World. Our shop sells books and pamphlets concerning the care of donkeys, all of whicli are valuable tools to suppon the welfare of tlie animal. We recognise that educatioii of the public is 50 fundamental to ensure a liealthy and enjoyable lifesty'le foT donkeys: both in the United Kingdom and abToad.

FINANCIAL REVIEW Results As disclosed in the accompanying accounts, Society fvnds rose in 2021 by £7,092 from £194,293 to £20 1,385. Excludin¥ investment ¥ain5 aiid105St5 the re¥ular society activitie5 resulted in a deficit of £5,670 cotnpared with £5,445 in the 2020. The level of deficit arising in 2021 ig one that the Trustees consider to be acceptable at this time. Incoine from passport issuing and transfer fees rose by 6.50/0 compared with 2020, althOuh additional costs resulted in .just a l. l % increase in net income. Pa55POrt income continued to reflect a reduction due to the discounting Me make in the fees for the issue of passports to The Donkey Sanctuary and other equine charities. In 2021 this amounted to £1,178 {2020- £8821. Subscription iiicoine also held up due to inore inember5hip income being Gift Aided. With some of the relaxation of Covid rules more regional events and activities were able to be held. which with income received from the sale of War Horse Memorial Purple Poppies and income generated by attending Your Horse Live resulted in an increase of over £3,090 in the income from Society Shows and Activities. Shop and Sundry Income rose by £2,868 in pan as we sold £1,4.f 8 of goods at Your Horse Live. In addition. sales of Lhrisimas cards, books and DBS branded clothing increased bv £536. Expenditure increased in a nuinber of related areas and a150 on Communication, reflecting the cost of improvements to the Society website. They were partly offset by a fall in the cost of donations made to other panies, reflecting Ihe one off nature of Ihe six £l.000 donations made 10 other equine sanctuaries in 2020 whose income had beeii adver5elv affected by Covid. None of the tropl)ies held by the Society are included at value in the financial statements, as the Trustees consider that Ihey do not and would not generate income for Ihe Society and they do not have a market value. Principal Source of Funding The Society's principal source of funding comes from its members, either from their membership fees, passport applications fees or entry tees and donations. These are supplemented by other donations and bequests which are not relied on when budgeting tor tre years. Reserves Policy The Trustees liave examined the charity requirements for reserves. During the year the Trustees have reviewed the reserves policy and detemiined thai the minimum level of unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tsngible fixed assets lield by the charity should remain at £12,000. At 31 December 2021 Ihis was covered 16.2 times12020- 12.0 tiines) by the general unrestricted reserves after deducting stock and tangible fixed assets. The reserves are needed to me£t t]ie working capital reqiiiTeinents of the cliarits. and the Trustees are confident that they w'ould be able to continue the nomial activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in fure funding. c.onsideration is given each year, by tlie Trustees, as to what purpose any excess over tlie general UTITestricted liquid ndS target amount may be allocated to. No sucli allocations were Inade in 2021 as it had been anticipated theTe would be a deficit on tlie vear and a deficit lias also been budgeted for in 2022. At 31 December 2021 a total of £38,909 was allocated to designated purposes, including regional and area activities and education.
DONKEY BREED SOCIETY TRUSTEES, REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 The charity's tTU5tees have ultimate responsibility for risk aiid so have regularly reviewed and assessed the risks they perceive the cl)aritv has in all areas of it5 work and plan for the Inanag5emeiit of those risks. The major risks are considered to be matters over M'hich we have no initial control, such as a stock maA(et crash or the failure of a finai)cial institiition. After assessing the other risks to ivhich the charity. coiild be exposed, particularly those related to low income and l)igFh operatioiial costs, the fnjstees are satisfied there are procediires in place to mitigate the impact of these. Investment Policy The Trustees havt consideied the funds available to it for investment and have identified a number of investments specifically designed for charities as rneeting the needs of the ¢ompan>'. The majority of unrestiieted reserveg ale held in tl)tse readilv rtalisable investments. These are intended to provide both income and Capital growth withtsut exposing the Socitty to excessive risk. A similar policy is adopted for the restricted funds. The average rate of investment income returns on interest bearing bank account balances achieved in 2021 was around 0.9(P/o (2020 - 1.16/01; that achieved on investmenis ivas much higher at around 4.79/012020- 4.30/0).
