RE-HOMING ANIMAL TELEPHONE SERVICE

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

The executive committee, who are also the Trustees, present their report together with the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity’s trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (second edition) and Financial Reporting Standard FRS 102.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and Policies

The ultimate objective of the charity is to relieve the suffering and distress of animals of all species in need of care and attention.

When planning the activities for the year the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.

The charity is run and organised by the executive committee who may exercise the following powers:

i) To establish and maintain kennels, rescue homes, sanctuaries and other places for treatment of sick or ill treated animals or the reception of unwanted or abandoned pets.

ii) To undertake the boarding of animals parted from their owner temporarily or permanently either free or at a reasonable charge.

iii) To make arrangement for the adoption and future responsibility of animals on such conditions as the society consider advantageous to such animals provided that no animals owned by the society shall be disposed of for the purpose of commercial, scientific or other research.

iv) To neuter animals for the purpose of reducing abandonment unless advised by a veterinary surgeon that such action would not be in the best interests of the animal's welfare.

v) To treat and, if appropriate, destroy a sick animal on veterinary advice.

vi) To co-operate with and support, either financially or otherwise, other charitable authorities and organisations having similar objectives.

vii) To educate and advise generally and issue publications and propaganda about the proper care of animals and especially to advertise the responsibilities that stem from owning any animal and the damage that can be done by taking on these responsibilities too lightly.

Review of the year 2024

During 2024, the Rehoming Animal Telephone Service (RATS) lived up to the fact that it is a small charity with a big heart by rehoming 116 dogs, 81 cats and 10 small mammals. This is an incredible achievement; one of which we are very proud. We remain diligently focused on our mission of rescuing, rehoming and providing care for animals in needs.

Our Charity Shop in Biggleswade performed strongly in 2024 and we are grateful to all those who volunteer at the shop for their hard work and generosity with their time. 2024 was not, however, without its challenges, and like many businesses and charities, cost of living expenses, especially vets bills and running costs at the kennels, were a source of concern.

This review highlights the organisation's accomplishments in animal welfare, community engagement, and strategic growth, as well as the continued support from its members, supporters and volunteers who make our work possible.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Animal Rehoming and Rescue Efforts

2024, like 2023, saw an increased demand for our services as the number of animals being surrendered or abandoned was at an all time high nationally. In 2024, we continued to collaborate closely with local authorities and veterinary services to ensure that animals were removed from neglectful or abusive conditions.

We are fortunate that we have a number of dedicated teams of volunteers looking after the dogs, cats and small mammals in our care and working hard to find them their forever homes. Without their passion and willingness to give up their time for the charity, we would be unable to carry out our charitable work. We are also extremely lucky to have a hard working team of volunteers, who manage our social media and website and who play a key role in raising awareness of the charity and the animals in our care.

Our foster care network continues to play an important role in our ability to provide even more animals a safe space whilst waiting for their permanent homes.

Income Growth

RATS’ main source of income is its Charity Shop in Biggleswade. 2024 was a record year in terms of takings and we are grateful to everyone involved in the operation of the shop. In 2024, RATS were the fortunate recipients of legacies totalling £125,000. These sources of income are enhanced by the monies raised at RATS events and through the generosity of our members and supporters. In 2024, total income increased by 7.2% compared to 2023.

Volunteer Engagement

RATS would simply not exist without its volunteers. They are at the heart of everything the charity does. From running the RATS Charity Shop, to leading our events and marketing teams, to helping to provide love and comfort to the animals in our care. It is thanks to our amazing team of volunteers that we are able to provide all the services we do.

Looking Forward

At the end of 2024, a new committee was elected and over the course of 2025, the new trustees will be working hard to continue to drive the charity forward. A key focal area for 2025 is the redevelopment of the existing kennel facilities, which are currently in a poor state of repair. Fundraising for the new kennels will be imperative. Looking at how to build upon existing income streams and develop new ones will also be key as vets bills and running costs continue to rise exponentially.

Conclusion

RATS is a charity that simply would not exist without the hard work of its volunteers and support of its members. To have rehomed 116 dogs, 81 cats and 10 small mammals in one single year is a testament to their dedication and hard work. Our small charity is one we want to continue to grow so that we are able to support even more animals over the coming years.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported RATS over the past year, and we look forward to another year of making a difference in the lives of animals and the people who love them.

Volunteers

The charity remains dependent on the services of its unpaid volunteers to run its shop, to help at various fundraising events and to assist with the running of our kennels throughout the year. The number of volunteers stands at 213 (2023: 148).

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the Charity to hold reserves in its general fund that have not yet been committed or designated for any particular purpose. The executive committee have set aside these reserves in order to protect the future operations of the charity from unforeseen variations in its income sources as part of good financial management practice. At 31 December 2024 the amount of reserves in the unrestricted fund amounted to £1,012,929 (2023: £934,254) of which £537,579 is capital leaving £475,360 in the general fund.

Funding

The executive committee are satisfied that the charity's assets attributable to its individual funds are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in relation to those funds.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

RISK ASSESSMENT

Risk Management in the charity takes many forms to reflect the various activities undertaken for the protection of the charity and its ongoing future - for Dog Shows the charity is bound by Kennel Club rules and their risk assessment template details are utilised at the various dog shows held in any year. Similarly at our fundraising Open Days a similar set of criteria are utilised to ensure the safety of the public and our volunteers.

Risk is also discussed at most trustee meetings in various forms, although the words risk management may not be used. We may be discussing membership numbers and how to grow the charity, how to attract a younger population to help continue our work - the risks of not doing this are noted in the minutes of each meeting. Financial risk is also discussed each month in order to assure members that the charity remains solvent and can continue into the future.

Any risks arising from changes in requirements as declared by the Charity Commission are brought to trustees notice and actions put into place.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note to these accounts.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a true and fair view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, due to the fact that sufficient reserves are held to cover any necessary period of scaling down of activities.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Freehold property - 2% on cost
Improvements to property - 10% on cost
Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost
Motor vehicles - 25% on cost
Computer equipment - 25% on cost

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Financial instruments

Debtors and Creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administrative expenses.
