THE KENNEL CLUB CHARITABLE TRUST TRUSTEES' REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

The Kennel Club Charitable Trust is a registered charity (No. 327802) and is governed by its Trust Deed dated 3 May 1988.

Vice-President

Sir John Spurling KCVO OBE is the Trust's Vice-President.

Trustees

The following have been the Trustees throughout the period covered by the attached financial statements (except where stated):

Revd W King (Chairman) Mrs J Millard Professor M Herrtage Dr A Higgins Mr G Hill Mrs R Smart

The Trustees met on five occasions during the year to consider the business of the Trust and the making of grants. The Trustees receive no remuneration or benefits from their position, but their expenses connected with the Trust are reimbursed by the Kennel Club Limited (see Note 3).

THE KENNEL CLUB CHARITABLE TRUST TRUSTEES' REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

Charitable Objectives

The Objects of the charity can be summarised as being:

  1. To promote the advancement of education and science by furthering research into canine diseases and hereditary disorders of dogs.

  2. To promote the quality of life of human beings by promoting dogs as therapeutic and practical aids to humans.

  3. To promote the relief of suffering of dogs which are in need of care and attention.

These Objects have applied since the foundation of the Trust in 1988.

Recruitment, induction and training of Trustees

The policy for recruitment of new Trustees is to consider nominations from the existing Trustees and from the Board of the Kennel Club Limited. Induction and training are conducted by encouraging a potential Trustee to attend a “trial” meeting of the Trustees, and by providing copies of the Trust Deed, the latest accounts and Minutes, and the Charity Commission's booklet “The Essential Trustee”. Where the individual is inexperienced in the role of being a Trustee, one-on-one training may be provided.

Financial statements

The accompanying financial statements cover the year ended 31 December 2022.

The Trustees consider that, in the context of the substantial liquid assets available to the charity in the form of cash and investments, the going concern basis on which the accounts are prepared is appropriate and that applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed.

Review of the year and future developments

The Trust's total outgoings for 2022 were £1,275K (2021 - £686K). Of these amounts £1,092K (2021 - £496K) represented grants made by the Trust.

Total income was £870K compared with £909K in 2021. Together with a net unrealised loss on the value of investments amounting to £256K (2021 – gain of £274K), current year funds decreased by £661K; in the prior year there was an increase of £497K.

Scientific grants amounted to £395K (2021 - £403K), including to the re-formed Kennel Club Genetics Centre in partnership with the University of Cambridge .

Non-scientific grants amounted to £697K (2021 - £94K), made to a total of 40 recipient bodies, including to the International Canine Health Awards.

Details of all grants made are shown in Note 2.

The Trustees continue with their fundraising strategy, to develop its own fundraising income streams, increasing the financial resilience of the Trust, providing additional resources to fund canine medical research, and to reduce reliance on donations from the Kennel Club in funding the Trust’s activities.

Risks

The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the Trust may be exposed and concluded that they have in place controls which could reasonably be expected to manage and control (but not eliminate) those risks, and thus protect the financial and reputational standing of the Trust.

THE KENNEL CLUB CHARITABLE TRUST TRUSTEES' REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

Investments and Cash Balances

The Trustees, advised by their professional investment advisors, follow an investment policy which seeks balanced income and capital growth, with a moderate attitude to risk, and within ethical parameters which they have defined recognising the Trust’s charitable purpose. The Trust's investments are represented by units in CCLA.

There was no change in the content of the Trust's investment portfolio during 2022. The market value of the holdings has decreased by £256K (decrease of 12%).

CCLA, our investment managers and advisers, have a benchmark of achieving an inflation (RPI) adjusted return of an average of 5% pa over the business cycle (say 5-7 years); and also measure their performance against a composite comparator index.

The Trust's cash balances decreased over the year by £405K (2021 increase of £217K).

Reserves

The Trust's reserves decreased by £661K (2021: increase of £497K) to £ 2,447K.

The Trust had, at 31 December 2022, committed £1,265K in grants over the next 2 years (see Note 9). In addition, further commitments have been made since the year end.

The Trustees wish to see the level of the Trust's support increase over the next few years, and to be in a position to meet such requests as are considered worthy of support. The fundraising strategy referred to above is a key element in achieving this objective. This includes the welfare objective of the Trust, given an increasing emphasis on breed rescue, in addition to general welfare groups, and the welfare of dogs caught up in international conflict zones.

In the context of the Trust’s future grant commitments and its aspirations, the Trustees seek to hold an amount of at least two years' future grants in reserves. As at 31 December 2022, reserves represented significantly greater than this level and the Trustees will be reviewing this area over the coming year, including being informed by Kennel Club strategy in health and welfare.

Grant making policy

All applications are fully considered by the Trustees against specific criteria and with the support of specialist advice where appropriate. The latter includes peer review of substantial scientific applications. Grants are approved by the Trustees collectively. Generally, applications purely for building costs, or requests from individuals or from organisations whose concern is not predominantly with the dog do not receive favourable attention.

The Trust's work is advertised through the Kennel Club website, in the Kennel Club Journal and by direct contact with individuals, societies and universities, as well as in the Directory of Grant Making Trusts and other listings of charities.

Furthermore, the Trustees are continuing their attempts to develop wider publicity programmes, including at Crufts, in order to bring the Trust's activities to a wider audience, of both benefactors and applicants for the Trust's funding.

THE KENNEL CLUB CHARITABLE TRUST TRUSTEES' REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

Public Benefit

The Trustees are fully aware of the Charity Commission's requirements on the subject of public benefit.

The whole purpose of the Trust is to improve the health and welfare of dogs, and to provide healthy and trained canine companions to human beings.

The Trust accepts grant applications across a broad base and within the Objects of the charity. It operates an open process, assessing applications on the basis of credibility of the applicant, the assessed efficiency of the proposed object for support, and the likely ability of the recipient to fund themselves on a continuing basis.

The list of grants in Note 2 to the accounts indicates the institutions supported, and Press Releases expand on some of these case studies.

The Trustees believe that the Trust clearly provides a public benefit, without discrimination, and that each of its Objects incorporates this feature in positive terms.

Thanks

The Trustees wish to thank Her Majesty The Queen for her continuing interest and support; Sir John Spurling for his encouragement and expertise in his role as Vice-President; the Trust's Ambassadors; all donors and all the recipients of our grants who work for the benefit of dogs and their health and welfare.

On behalf of the Trustees:

Mrs J Millard

THE KENNEL CLUB CHARITABLE TRUST

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including Financial Reporting Standard 102.

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under charity law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for the period.

In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made thereunder. 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.

THE KENNEL CLUB CHARITABLE TRUST

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE KENNEL CLUB CHARITABLE TRUST

Opinion on the financial statements

In our opinion, the financial statements:

We have audited the financial statements of The Kennel Club Charitable Trust (“the Charity”) for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence

We remain independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Conclusions related to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Report and Financial Statements, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

THE KENNEL CLUB CHARITABLE TRUST

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF

THE KENNEL CLUB CHARITABLE TRUST (continued)

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion;

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Extent to which the audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Non-compliance with laws and regulations

Based on:

We considered the significant laws and regulations to be The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, Corporate and VAT legislation, Health and Safety and the Bribery Act 2010.

The Charity is also subject to laws and regulations where the consequence of non-compliance could have a material effect on the amount or disclosures in the financial statements, for example through the imposition of fines or litigations. We identified such laws and regulations to be the health and safety legislation.

THE KENNEL CLUB CHARITABLE TRUST

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF

THE KENNEL CLUB CHARITABLE TRUST (continued)

Our procedures in respect of the above included:

Fraud

We assessed the susceptibility of the financial statements to material misstatement, including fraud. Our risk assessment procedures included:

Based on our risk assessment, we considered the areas most susceptible to fraud to be revenue recognition and management override of controls.

Our procedures in respect of the above included:

We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the Financial Reporting Council’s (“FRC’s”) website at:

https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

THE KENNEL CLUB CHARITABLE TRUST

Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

THE KENNEL CLUB CHARITABLE TRUST NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of accounting

The entity is a trust established in England at 10 Clarges Street, London W1J 8AB. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, including the October 2019 amendments.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The accounts of the Charity have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

A summary of the accounting policies, which have been applied consistently, is set out below.

(b) Critical accounting judgements and estimations

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to make estimates and judgements. The items in the financial statements where these judgments and estimates have been made include:

(c)

Cash flow statement

As a qualifying entity (for the purposes of FRS 102 Section 1A Small Entities), the charitable entity has taken advantage of the reduced disclosure framework exemption from requirement to prepare a statement of cash flows.

(d) Donations and legacies

Donations are accounted for as soon as there is an entitlement and the amount is measurable and receipt probable.

A donation in kind was received during the year from The Kennel Club amounting to £70,706 (2020) £67,545). Donated services are recognised when the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service received.

(e) Investments and investment income

Investments are included at market value as required by the Statement of Recommended Practice. Unrealised gains or losses on revaluation are included in the Statement of Financial Activities. Investment income is included on an accruals basis.

The Trust's investments are represented by units in CCLA's general investment fund. Any charges form part of the movement in the price of those units.

(f) Research project support and grants made

Research project support and grants made are charged to expenditure when performance conditions are met and payment is approved. Where grants are expected to span more than one year, subsequent years' awards are subject to conditions (for example, the requirement for progress reports to be presented to the Trustees) and are shown as Commitments (see Note 9).

(g) Employees

There were no employees during the year (2021 - Nil).

(a)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months, from the date of acquisition, or less and bank overdrafts. All cash and short-term deposits are basic instruments and are measured at amortised cost.

(h) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount.

(i) Financial instruments

The trust only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
