RESCUED ANIMALS IN NEED (GREEN ST GREEN) Re ort of the Trustees for the Year Ended 28 Februa 2021 The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 28 February 2021. The trustees have adopted the provislons of Accounting and Reporting by Chadtles.. Statement of Recommended Prartice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 (effertive January 2019). OBJECTIVES AND AcfIvITIES Objectives and aims R.A.l.N adopts the following objectives in furtherance of its aims.. The relief of suffering animals which are in need of care and attention by reason of homelessness, maltreatment, poor circumstances, ill-usage or other similar causes and for the prevention of cruelty to animals. To provide all necessary veterlnary treatment Includlng vaccSnatSons and neuterlng to the above mentioned animals. To assist with veterinary charges and/or keep of animals in proven cases of need. R.A.l.N's activities a repetitive in nature and there has been no change year-on-year In these pursuits. A continuous precession of animals arrive at the charity, sometimes through dirett contatt with the public or from other welfare organisations, veterinary practices, social services etc. The majority require vaccination and neutering. All are micro-chipped by RAIN. Any further treatment that is necessary is catered for at that time. Where serious illness or injury is reported by the veterinary inspettion a few are put to sleep as a last resort if this is felt to be in the best interests of the animal. After thelr vetednary check etc, the anlmals are transported to a well-establlshed commerclal boardlng establishment until prospettive new owners can be found. Advertising in the local vets, on the internet and at fund-raising actlvltles and by word of mouth Is used as a route for attrartlng new owner5. We ask for a fixed donation from anyone who is homing one of our animals. Hopefully this ensures that they have thought carefully about their futu responsibilities. Adopters are given a 12 month free subscription to the charity and encouraged to become members in the longer term. They often then contribute to our house magazine which is usually full of successful stories of happy new associations between animal and owner. Volunteers In a 'normal' year volunteers contribute throughout the organisation. Some help with transport,. some foster animals,. some visit prospective homes and establish suitability for homing,. some help at sales and coffee mornings. Others Stand in all weathers shaking collecting tins. Unfortunately none of these activities have been able to take place thls year due to Covld restrlctlons. A magazine 'RAIN NEWS. is published twice a year to keep in tOLJch with our members and to provide publicity. The magazine is prepared in-house, but goes to a commercial printer due to the high print run required (1000 copiesl- DistribLJtion is conducted by the membership secretary. A webslte {www.raSn.org.ukl Is also maSntaSned regularly by a volunteer and we now have a 'facebook' page. These are most useful routes in referring prospective adopters to information conceming our animals. Further regular fund-raising takes place through the .200 Club. run by another volunteer. Here a steady income accrues through the generosity of ordinary members. ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE During the current year 45 cats and kittens have been rehomed by the organlsation. Over and above the re-homing the charity has asslsted in the neutering of 33 cats, 6 dogs and 3 rabbits from the wider commLJnity. A few animals require long term veterinary care which the charity funds. Some animals continue to receive this financial support once rehomed when circumstance dictate. Pet insurance is strongly recommended to adopters. The majority of our cats find good loving homes without long tenn boarding being necessary. The assistance Ive offer for neutering animals in the community is also frequently called upon and we have responded accordingly. We are also, in view of circumstances some people are finding themselves in, assisting with veterinary expenses when necessary. This has increased this year. Page I
RESCUED ANIMALS IN NEED (GREEN ST GREENJ Re ort of the Trustees for the Year Ended 28 Februar 2021 FINANCIAL REVIEW Funds are held in several accounts but mainly in CAF Gold and Platinum accounts. Long term futu expenditure is a function of fund-raising artivities yet to be determined. No RAIN fund is materially in deficit. It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month expenditure. The committee considers that reserves at this level will ensure that in the event of a significant drop in fundingi they will be able to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity. Oryanisational structure 'Rescued Animals In Need,, first registered as a charity in 1986, is directed by an executive committee comprising members of long standing. New committee members are recruited as necessary from volunteers who are known to be dedicated to the objectives of the charity and are known to the trustees. Officers and full committee members are normally eletted at an AGM and are appointed as trustees under the terms of the written constitution. The committee is supported by co-opted Members without executive status. In the last twelve months the committee of 2019 have continued because no AGM has been possible. The organisation is headed by a chaiman, supported by two secretaries {an administrative secretary and membership secretary), a treaSur, an animal welfare team and a small fund ralsing and promotlon team. All are honorary positions. Cheques need two approved signatures for clearance. A membership database is maintained by the membership secretaryi who arranges for the distribution of news and magazines to our membership. An administrative secretary minutes details of committee meetings and looks after communications with outside bodies and 'fronts' the organisation when correspondence is required. RAIN also works amicably with a group of similar charities. It Is wlth regret that RAIN can no longer take and re-home dogs. These are now referred to Battersea at Brands Hatch. This is due to the lack of expertise and facilities to socialise and habilitate dogs. We continue to support our 'foster dog5, and assist with neutering and veterinary care if required.
