Objectives and activities
Objectives and Aims
The objects of the charity are to provide improved animal welfare, sanctuary and rescue operations, in and around the South Liverpool area. Although the core work of the charity is centred around the South Liverpool area, if cases arise from outside this area, we are happy to help - if we are able to.
Volunteers
Throughout the current year and in future years our charity thrives on the input and hard work of our volunteers and we thank them very much for their continued support.
���������������������
The shop continues to provide a source of income to enable the charity to continue looking after and caring for the animals that are in distress.
����������������������
Our Charity is always looking for new and exciting ways to raise additional funds, we rely on voluntary donations and we operate one shop which we are always looking to improve.
Financial Review
The charity feels it prudent to retain sufficient reserves to enable continued operation on a day to day basis.
Principal Funding Sources
The charity operates one shop and relies heavily on donations and support from the local community.
Investment Policy
The charity holds any excess funds in an interest bearing bank account.
Reserves Policy
It is the policy of the charity to retain sufficient reserves to enable it to function on a day to day basis.

Plans for Future Periods
We hope to be able to acquire dedicated premises so that we can rescue even more animals, for example, farm animals which will be a new venture for us, in addition to our existing work with feral cats. Our aim is to provide space for these sentient creatures and to provide a safe space for them.
We will invite schools to visit us and see our work. We believe that fostering a culture of kindness towards all animals will benefit society in general, and especially children who are, of course, our future.
Our sanctuary would be a place of calm and peace, to help both people and animals. Eventually we aim to have features such as:
-
•A doggie play area and activity centre.
-
•A wildlife hospital.
-
•A vegan café and a wildflower meadow.
-
•A set of rooms within the sanctuary where we can give presentations to schools, to promote compassion towards all creatures.

Garston Animal Rescue Charity Number: 701001 Independent examiners report for the year ending 31st March 2022
Independent Examiner
Graeme O'Callaghan ACA 300 St Mary's Road, Garston, Liverpool L19 0NQ
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
���������������������������
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
��������������������������������
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the 1 requirements: - To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; - To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of 2 the accounts to be reached
