REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
for the Year Ended 29 Februa
2024
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended
29 February 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 (FRS 102) (effective
January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
Rescued Animals In Need (RAIN) adopts the following objettives in furtherance of its aims.,
l. 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.
2. To provide all necessary veterinary treatment including vaccinations and neutering to the above
mentioned animals.
3. To assist with veterinary charges and/or keep of anlmals In proven cases of need.
RAIN'S activities are repetitive in nature and there has been no change year-on-year in these pursuits.
A continuous procession of animals arrive at the charity, either through direct contact with the public or
from other welfare organisations, veterinary practices, 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 prospective 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 attractlng 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 members 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 for 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 (600 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
Useful routes in referring prospective adopters to information concerning our animals.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
During the current year 43 cats and kittens have been rehomed by the charity. Over and above the
re-homing the charity has assisted in the neutering of 107 cats, 65 dogs, I rabbit and 2 guinea pigs from
the wider community. Help with veterinary bills has been given for a further 170 animals, excluding
neutering. Some animals continue to receive this financial support when circumstances dictate. Pet
insurance is strongly recommended to adopters. The majority of our cats find good loving homes without
long-term boarding being necessary. The necessity for us to provide a service of helping with veterinary
costs is continuing to increase and has become a very important part of the charity's work.
Current
initiatives include working with a local Council and the RSPCA in visiting traveller sites with the aim of
neutering as many stray cats as possible.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
for the Year Ended 29 February 2024
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 specific use
should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months. worth of expenditure. The
RAIN committee considers that reserve5 at this level will ensure that in the event of a significant drop in
funding, 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 goveming document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorpoTrted
charity.
Organisational structure
'Rescued Animals In Need,, first regISte￿d as a charity in 1986, is directed by an executive committee
comprising members of long standing. New committee members a￿ ￿cruIted as necessary from
volunteers who are known to be dedicated to the objettives of the charity and a￿ 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
executlve status.
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 signatures for clearance.
A membership database is maintained by the membership 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 correspondence is required.
It is with regret that RAIN can no longer rescue 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 assist with neutering and veterinary care in the wider
community if required.
