RESCUED ANIMALS IN NEED (GREEN ST GREENJ Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 28 Februa 2023 The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 28 February 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of Recommended Prattice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 102} (effective l January 2019). OBJEcfIvES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims Rescued Anlmals In Need (RAIN) adopts the followlng objettlves In furtheran of Its alms: The relief of sufferlng animals which are in need of care and attentlon by reason of homelessness, maltreatment, poor circumstances, ill-usage or other similar causes and for the prevention of cruelty to anlmals. To provide all necessary veterinary treatment including vaccinations and neutering to the above mentioned animals. To assist with veterinary charges and/or keep of animals in proven cases of need. RAIN'S attivities are repetitive in nature and there has been no change year-on-year in these pursuits. A contlnuous processlon of anlmals arrlve at the charlty, elther through dlrett contart wlth the publlc or from other welfare organisations, veterinary pract15, social services etc. The majority require vaccination and neutering. All are checked and, if necessary, micro-chipped by RAIN. Any further medical treatment Is catered for at that time. Where serious illness or injury is reported by the veterinary inspection a few animals are put to sleep as a last resort at that point, but only if this is considered to be in the best interests of the animal. After their veterinary check etc, the animals are transported to a well-established commercial boarding cattery until prospettive new owners can be found. Advertising their availability takes place in the form of promotion at the local vets, our website, on Facebook and also by word of mouth. All are used as routes for attratting new owners. RAIN asks for a fixed donation from anyone who is homing one of our animals. The aim of this is to ensure as best that is possible that the prospective owners have thought carefully about their future responsibilities. Adopters are given a 12 month free subscription to the charity and encouraged to become mernber5 in the longer term. They often then contribute their animal's story to our members magazine which is usually full of successful stories of happy new associations between animal and owner. Volunteers Volunteers contribute at many levels throughout the organisation. Some help with transport. some foster animals; some visit prospective homes and establish suitability ft)r homing. Our members magazine 'RAIN NEWS, is published twice a year to keep in touch 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 copies). Distribution is conducted by the membership secretary. A website (www.rain.org.uk) is maintained regularly and we also have a 'Facebook' page. These are most useftjl routes in referring prospettive adopters to information conceming our animals. ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE During the current year 36 cats and kittens have been rehomed by the organisation. Over and above the re-homing the charity has assisted in the neutering of 87 cats, 22 dogs and 3 rabbits from the wider community. Help wlth vetenary bills has been glven for a further 71 anlmals. A few anlmals requlre long term veter(nary care whlch the charlty funds. Some anlmals contlnue to receive thls financial support on rehomed when circumstance dittate. Pet insurance is strongly recommended to adopters. The majority of our cat5 find good loving homes without long term boarding belng neSSary. The as51stance we offer for neutering animals in the community is also fqUentlY called upon and we have responded accordingly. We are also, in some circumstances, assisting with other veterinary expenses when necessary. The necessity for us to provide this service is continuing to increase. CUrnt initiatives include working with a local Council vlsltlng Travellers Sltes wlth the alm of neuterlng as many stray cats as posslble. Page 1
RESCUED ANIMALS IN NEED (GREEN ST GREENJ Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 28 Februa 2023 FINANCIAL REVIEW Funds are held in several accounts but mainly in CAF Gold and Platinum accounts. No RAIN fund is materially in deficit. It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for speciffic use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and slx months, worth of expenditure. The RAIN committee considers that reserves at this level will ensu that in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's current artivities 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. Organisational structure 'Rescued Animals Ln Need,, first registered as a charity in 1986, is direrted 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 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 2020 has continued because no AGM has been possible due to Covid-19. The organisation is headed by a chairman, supported by two secretaries (an administrative secretary and a membership secretary), a treasurer, and an animal welfare team. All are honorary positions. Cheques need two approved slgnatures for clearan. A membership database Is maintained by the membershlp secretary who arranges for the distribution of news and the house magazine to our membership. An administrative secretary minutes details of committee meetings and looks after communications with outside bodies and 'fronts' the organisation when Corresponden is quIred. RAIN also works amicably with a group of similar charities. It is with regret that RAIN can no longer cue and re-home dogs. These are referred to Battersea at Brands Hatch. This is due to the lack of in-house expertise and facilities to socialise and rehabilitate dogs. We continue to support our 'foster dogs, and asslst with neutering and veterinary care in the wider community if required.
