ENGLISH SETTER RESCUE ASSOCIATION- Charity 293708
Trustees Report for 2023.
1 General.
Activities by ESRA continue in accordance with the Trust Deeds, and as such are limited to support and “rescue” of English Setters. With the relatively small numbers of English Setters, activities of the Charity have remained low. The extensive use of Social Media has impacted the way the many people find new homes for their pets.
The financial situation of ESRA remains very strong, during 2023 the Charity income increased to £140000 for the year and income exceeded by £115000. ESRA received legacy donations of £126000 during 2023.
2 Activities.
Rehoming was very limited and has proven challenging for behavioural reasons. Uncertainties relating to a Setters behaviour are a concern for the charity and for this reason it was decided to construct a basic kennel in the Chairmans grounds to enable a detailed assessment of a dog’s issues to be made prior to placement in a new home. The cost of the kennel was £7600.During 2023 rehoming was limited to three dogs and cost £800.
Age support continued for two setters and cost £1100.
The main costs during the year were for ongoing Vets fees for Setters that had been rehomed with pre-existing health issues. This amounted to £11000.
3.Admin Costs.
Are low, related mostly to Insurance and Accountants fees. None of the Trustees received any finance from the Charity other than reimbursement of incidental costs.
4. Funding.
ESRA funding has strengthened considerably during 2023 mainly due to the receipt of Legacies for £126000, The valuation of the Barclays Wealth Investment fund increased in value by £18000 reflecting the economic situation.
Overall, the ESRA funding increased from £727000 to £863000 over the year.
Overall ESRA funding is such that the Charity is financially fully sustainable.
In accordance with the Trust Deeds, all bank transactions require approval by two trustees.

| facility received. | |
| Volunteer help | The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. |
