## The Beagle Welfare Scheme 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

## **Governing Document** 

The charity is governed by its constitution adopted 25 March 1990 as amended 24 March 1996, 31 March 2007, 28 March 2010, 24 March 2013, February 2015 and 23 March 2016. 

## **Objectives of the Organisation** 

The principal objective of the charity is to promote humane behaviour towards beagles by providing appropriate care, protection, treatment, shelter and security for beagles which are in need of care and attention by reason of sickness, maltreatment, poor circumstances or ill usage and in particular to: 

- rehome beagles; and 

- encourage responsible ownership of beagles throughout Great Britain. 

## **Method of Appointment** 

Trustees are elected by the council members at the ACM or at an SCM. 

## **Governance** 

The charity is run by a group of seven trustees who meet between four and five times a year. They have referred to the guidance in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the aims and objectives and in the planning of future activities. In particular the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they set for the organisation. 

New trustees appointed by the council are provided with the Charity Commission’s guidelines for trustees and an operations manual is maintained to provide guidelines and assistance to all volunteers. 

The organisation is centralised around the rehoming centre in Staffordshire, supported by a network of volunteers and trustees across England, Wales and Scotland and an additional rehoming centre in Kent. We are so grateful for all those who help out with transporting, home checking and assessing beagles  and fostering (many times at short notice) across the country to enable our charity to continue its work. 

The rehoming centre in Staffordshire remains the main point of contact for all surrendered and adopted dogs across the country with all the record keeping happening all in one place enabling more effective administration. 

2020 was an interesting year for us and saw the trustees embrace technology and hold the trustee meetings and the ACM over zoom. This worked very well for us and was a good alternative to meeting up in person and once we get back to some kind of normality may be an alternative that we may consider along with meeting up face to face. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The main focus of the charity continues to be rehoming unwanted beagles as well as providing advice and education for owners. The dogs in our care are fully assessed where possible, while they are waiting for homes, resulting in fewer unsuccessful placements. 

Being a breed specific rescue, Beagle Welfare will generally only accept pure beagles, or at least those who have the general physical beagle characteristics. People who come to beagle welfare looking to rehome a dog will be looking specifically for a beagle. 

More general, non-breed specific, dog rescue centres are better able to rehome cross breads although beagle welfare work closely with these rescue centres to help out if they are trying to rehome a beagle. 

Beagle Welfare are often approached to rehome beagles who are known to be aggressive and have bitten in their previous home. We will always look at the circumstances of the beagle’s issues but if it becomes apparent that the dog will not be able to be safely rehomed, then we will refuse to take the dog, as we have a duty of care to our staff, volunteers, the public and to people who come to us to adopt a beagle. 

Potential owners make enquires through our website, social media and via other animal welfare groups.

## The Beagle Welfare Scheme 

Where we can, we make every effort to attend shows, fairs and other functions where we hope to educate the general public about what owning a beagle entails. We also warn people about the dangers of buying through puppy farms and we encourage them to go to reputable breeders. Some of the advice and assistance that we have given owners has resulted in a number of beagles remaining with their owners, when they might have otherwise been given up for rehoming. Due to the COVID19 pandemic, there were no external events held that Beagle Welfare were able to attend except Crufts. This is expected to be the case for much of 2021 until restrictions subside.

2020 saw 234 beagles added to our register for rehoming. Due to the COVID19 pandemic, this figure was lower than in 2019 and beagles were much sought after as many peop[le found themselves in lockdown and wanting a companion dog. We were unable to rehome many beagles during the start of lockdown due to the restrictions in essential journeys.

## The Beagle Welfare Scheme 

## **Education** 

There are many reasons why people give up their beagles for adoption. Lack of research into the breed and the breed not suiting their lifestyle remain the two main ones. 

All potential and new owners are provided with copies of our booklets, _Understanding Your Beagle_ and _Beagles As Pets_ , The team at Beagle Welfare felt that more had to be done to educate and inform owners to the realities of beagle ownership. 

All potential owners are asked to watch our short film, produced in 2015, which gives potential new owners the low down on beagle ownership and should leave them under no illusions as to what beagles ownership could entail. 

A few of our volunteers and employees have taken and are undertaking dog behaviour training courses with a view to obtaining professional qualifications. This has been useful in providing help and advice to owners struggling with beagle problems resulting in some beagles remaining in their home that may have otherwise been surrendered for adoption. Our aim is always to support new owners and are always ready to provide advice and help with training as necessary to avoid dogs being returned to the rehoming centre. 

## **Training** 

Training has continued at the rehoming centre with the team working on helping some of the beagles with more issues and also working with potential owners to manage these issues and help to overcome them. 


Whilst 2020 has been a little difficult for people to undertake group training classes with their beagles, we have had a few people undertake training with good results and we have supported them in contributing towards these lessons with our dog training vouchers. We hope to continue with this into 2021 and help all the new beagle owners who might otherwise struggle with their beagles. 


## **Merchandise** 

Profit on sale of goods this year was £8,785 nearly double the profit that was earned in 2019 of £4,883, which is incredible since we were not able to attend any events and all sales were online. 

At the beginning of 2020 Lesley Rootham retired from merchandise after being a big help with us taking merchandise back in-house. We were really grateful that merchandise sourcing was taken over by Trustee Jo Morrison Rowe along side the fulfilment, which Jo has been running since we took it back in-house. 

We saw many new items in this year such as jigsaws, beer and wine glasses, new clothing and Christmas items to name but a few. The pricing of existing products also had a small increase. The new items were received well by the beagle community and we saw an increase in sales month on month throughout the year. We are now sourcing more and more items through one of

our main suppliers, who, although can only provide in larger quantities to that of previous suppliers, only charge us cost price as they are a supporter of Beagle Welfare.

## **Fundraising** 

The last year was certainly challenging for fundraising due to Covid 19. When the country went into lockdown so many fundraising events that had been organised had to be cancelled, which was very disappointing for those that had put in such a lot of work and preparation. When Fundraising restrictions are lifted we look forward to these events finally taking place. The amount of people who contacted us to confirm they would 2020 still be fundraising for us during lockdown was very 2019 £28,531 encouraging and reassuring. We are so lucky and very thankful £35,902 to have such brilliant supporters throughout the UK. 

The amount of people who contacted us to confirm they would still be fundraising for us during lockdown was very encouraging and reassuring. We are so lucky and very thankful to have such brilliant supporters throughout the UK. 

Once again, we benefitted from sales of charity Christmas cards and calendars; and we thank the organisers for their continued support. Many individual beagle groups organised various Social Media events, these include raffles, virtual dog show, beagle fashion show, sales of dog bandanas, birthday donations, book sales, sales of Christmas items and lots more. 

We also thank the small businesses’ who very generously chose to donate to us from proceeds of their sales. Social Media has been an essential tool for fundraising and a great way for us to keep in touch with our supporters. 


We launched the Shelter for the Beagles campaign in September, this was to raise money for a new shelter to replace the tree in the paddock at the Rehoming Centre, this had fallen due to a storm. The response for this campaign from our supporters was outstanding - within 24 hours £1000 was raised and we went on to reach our target of £1500.  We plan to erect the new shelter in the Spring. 

We have planted some new apple trees to replace the fallen tree and have managed to level out the paddock after some of our past residents had “redesigned the landscape”! 



In November, through our Social Media pages, we posted a request for new blankets for the beagles at Rehoming Centre, again the response was remarkable and thanks to our supporters we are now very well stocked for the colder weather. 

As expected, our fundraising total has reduced for 2020, however, considering the Covid restrictions that were in place it is an excellent amount and all our fundraisers should be congratulated and we look forward to continuing to work with them in 2021.

A large proportion of our income comes from regular donors, our Friends of Beagle Welfare (FOBW). We have seen donations from our regular supporters increase by around 21% this year partly helped by our new website which allows people to donate directly. Regular donors to the charity receive a copy our bi-annual magazine, In Full Cry, produced by some of our volunteers giving helpful advice, updates on our work and also invites contributions from supporters and people who have adopted beagles from us.

## **Legacies** 


We have been extremely fortunate to be a recipient of the generosity of people who remember us in their wills. Funds have been invested whilst the trustees decide how best to utilise these fund for the charity. 



## **Expenditure** 

Overall, expenditure for 2020 was under budget by around 8.5% and around 3.6% lower than in 2019.

Expenditure<br>2019 2020<br>£193,034 £186,165<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


## **Rehoming Centre Costs** 

Costs for the rehoming centre were down against budget by £4,571and prior year by £4,228. This was mainly due to the lower number of beagles being kennelled at the rehoming centre and lower travel costs due to COVID 19 restrictions where travel was restricted to essential travel only. Whilst we were unable to rehome dogs during the first lockdown, the team at the rehoming centre took he opportunity to complete some maintenance tasks around the yard. 

## **Travel** 

All other travel costs were down during the year due to the reduction in rehoming travel and the trustee meetings and 

ACM being held via Zoom. We did manage 


to get to Crufts this year before the first lockdown where we managed to spread the word on our charity and promote the rescue assisted by Maggie, Mizar and Matilda.

## The Beagle Welfare Scheme 

## **Comercial Kennels, Boarding & Fostering** 

Costs for Commercial kennels, boarding and fostering were all down this year by due to the lower number of beagles that we had being surrendered. Most of the beagles in commercial kennels and boarding kennels were moved up to the rehoming centre as soon as travel restrictions allowed, giving our team at the rehoming centre the opportunity to do more assessment and training with the beagles getting them ready for when the opportunity to rehome opened up. 

We are extremely grateful to our volunteers who foster for us sometimes at very short notice. Fostering beagles is not always an easy role and can easily upset the balance in a beagle household. We usually arrange foster care for beagles who are particularly unsettled and who benefit from having additional calm beagles around to help them adjust.

Bank charges increased this year following the receipt of a large legacy and the decision to use the CAF Charity Deposit Platform provided by Flagstone Investment Management Ltd. This provides the opportunity to manage investments in a single platform giving visibility of deposits and the opportunity to maximise return whilst minimising risk. There is a monthly management fee for this service, which the trustees judged this to be reasonable considering the large sums of deposits involved. All of the cash deposited is covered under the FSCS deposit protection scheme and is invested at various intervals to ensure access to the funds with a mix of maturity dates from 30 day notice out to 18 months. 

## **Total Vet Fees** 


**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
Total Vet<br>Fees<br>2019<br>£34,735 2020<br>£40,826<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


Vet Fees have increased this year due to an increased requirement to help out with vet fees for people who have fallen on hard times. COVID has brought about a requirement for more people to request financial assistance for their beagles. Conversely the vet fees for our Golden Oldies (beagles over 8 years old at time of adoption) have decreased. Sadly this is mainly due to a number of the older beagles we were supporting having passed away. 

For 2021 we have set up a separate hardship fund for beagle owners requiring support for their beagles vet bills. This funds specifically for beagle owners who have fallen upon difficult financial times and need assistance with one off costs for their beagles.

## **Reserves Policy and Related Funds** 

The primary function of the charity is the re-homing of beagles, to help in the prevention of maltreatment and cruelty to beagles, and in particular to encourage responsible ownership of beagles throughout Great Britain. 

It is the duty of the trustees to ensure that funds are available at all times to pay for these activities with the bulk of these costs being at the main rehoming centre in Staffordshire, together with the charity’s related administration costs. 

The charity’s reserves policy is to maintain the following funds: 

## **1) The Rehoming Centre Base Fund.** 

The majority of the charity’s income comes from donations from The Friends of Beagle Welfare, past and new owners and fundraising. These are uncertain sources of revenue that may not always provide the funds to cover these essential costs. The Trustees’ policy is to maintain reserve funds to cover up to a maximum of the next 24 months’ planned running costs including Vet costs. As at 31st December 2020 the trustees set aside £160,000 representing the next 24 months’ planned running costs of rehoming centre and vet fees. 

When planning all of the above activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and feel that the activities of the charity are carried out in accordance with that guidance and that the activities undertaken during the year have provided a benefit to the public. 

## **GDPR** 

To ensure we can be compliant with the GDPR legislation which came into force in on 25 May 2018, our Trustees, employees and necessary  individuals are required to complete GDPR training.  All of our volunteers are given guidelines to ensure they maintain the confidentiality & integrity of all personal data they receive whilst undertaking activities on behalf of The Beagle Welfare Scheme. 

An annual review will be undertaken to ensure The Beagle Welfare Scheme remains GDPR compliant.

## The Beagle Welfare Scheme 

## **Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020** 

## **1) Accounting Policies** 

- a) Basis of accounting 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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 (FRS102) (effective 1[st] January 201 9 )”, Financial Reporting Standard 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
