CROSSKENNAN LANE ANIMAL SANCTUARY
TRUSTEES, REPORT
Year ended 31 March 2023
The management committee. who are also the Charity's Trustees. have pleasure in presenting
their rew)rt and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND OBJECTS
The principal activities are those of the relief of suffering and distress of animals in need of care
and protection by reason of sickness, neglect or maltreatment by maintaining a sanctuary for such
anirnals and the promotion of animal welfare issues for the public benefit through cross
community initiatives, workshops, training days and publications.
GOVERNANCE
The organisation is governed by the management committee through the rules of its constitution.
REVIEW
The managyement committee regularly review the outcomes of our work to ensure that our aims,
objectives and activities are focussed on the stated purposes. In so doing we refer to the Charity
Commission for N I's guidance on public benefit. We are content that through our rescue and
rehabilitation programme we are providing a public benefit by making it safer for the public from
stray or roaming animals and through our workshops, publications etc w¢ are helping educate the
publ ic in animal welfare. These are available to all. There is no harm flowing from the purposes
of the charity and no private benefits ensue.
The committee is grateful for the continued support of the many individual sponsors and
suptx>rters without whom the organisation could not survive. We would also like to say a sincere
thank you to our staff and volunteers for all their hard work and dedication.
In a difficult financial year our overall income fell by 17.50/0 to £223,244 and our charitable
activities expenditure increased by 7.0 % to £280,878. The main expenditure increases were in
staffing costs (up 14.3 % to £108,520), feedstuff & bedding (up 31. 10/0 to £78,069) and veterinary
and medicine costs (up 14.30/0 to £38.773). Our administration and fundrdising costs remain low
at 4.6% of all ex￿nditure. We ended the year with an overall deficit of £71,231 (2022.. £3.195).
We continued our re-homing progyramme, including helping the public to fjnd new homes for
their animals when their circumstances have changed in a 'home to home, process which avoids
additional stress on the animals.

FUTURE PLANS
In view of the significant deficit for 2022123 and the likelihood of 2023124 also proving to be
financially challenging the Committee will be reviewing the amounts held in restricted funds
(being donations to purchase agricultural land, however no suitable land is available, nor have
sutricient funds for this purpose been raised) and revertingy to the original donors Wlth the aim of
seeking their approval to use thes¢ funds for general charitable activities instead.
The Committee will use its best endeavours, within its financial constraints, to continue to
provide sanctuary for neglected and abandoned animals.
A continued ap￿al will be made for volunteers and we will continue to engage with schools,
colleges, businesses. individuals, community groups and the public at large to further develop
and promote our educational and training initiatives.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Committee consider, on a regular basis, the reputational and financial risks that might arise
and review the prot(Kols and procedures in place to mitigate those risks.
RESERVES
At the year end free reserves were equivalent to two month's expenditure against a target figure
of three months. The Committee continues to keep the reserves under regular review.
