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 pract1￿5, 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 vete￿nary 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 ne￿SSary. The as51stance we offer for
neutering animals in the community is also f￿qUentlY 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. CUr￿nt initiatives include working with a local Council
vlsltlng Travellers Sltes wlth the alm of neuterlng as many stray cats as posslble.

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.
