**period**|Re-homing Springer Spaniels.
During 2024 Springer Rescue for Scotland assessed, fostered, and
placed in assessed homes 55 dogs. We continue with our policy of
neutering all dogs who come through SRS care, and continue to
receive excellent support from a number of vet practices who
provide neutering services at a price that the charity can afford.
We continue to work with 'Think Pawsitive', to provide fully
qualified training and behavioural support when required. This can
be provided to help families avoid surrendering dogs, to assist
volunteers with initial assessment of dogs, to provide training
advice while in foster care, and to support families who have
adopted an SRS dog.| |---|---| ## **Financial review** |**Brief statement of the charity’s policy**

**Details of any deficit**
**Donated facilities and services (if any)**|The Trustee’s continue to build the Charity’s reserves to allow
continued support for:
(i)the rescuing and re-homing of Springer Spaniels to include
assessment, veterinary support, transport, foster care for dogs and,
after re-housing, monitoring, welfare and progress of each dog;
(ii)encouraging responsible dog ownership, by providing
information and education; and
(iii)discouraging irresponsible breeding by providing information
and education.
**Banking**
In 2017 SRS moved to fully electronic banking, with governance
structures agreed by trustees and put in place. This has allowed
more efficient work by the treasurer, speedier payment of bills and
expenses, and facilitates ongoing scrutiny of accounts by the
treasurer plus two other trustees, for governance purposes. This
continues to work well for us.| |---|---| ||None| ||None| **4** Docusign Envelope ID: 7BB934B5-385A-4DFA-B338-F24C25E81222 ## **APPENDIX 1** ## **Other optional information** Aspirations for Springer Rescue for Scotland for the year 2025 All aspirations are aimed towards further achieving the purposes of the charity as set out in the Deed of Trust. - SRS will continue to seek to recruit one or more new Trustees. As we move from being a small charity that works with personal communication, and corporate memory, to a larger organisation requiring clear and easily accessible policies, procedures, and lines of communication, we will seek Trustees with skills to support this change. - We will continue to explore alternative means of providing volunteer education, and support area coordinators and the rehoming team in their ongoing programme of volunteer engagement. We will also consider how we might increase the diversity of our volunteers, and take any initial steps to start to achieve this. - We will seek during 2024 to review our approach to identifying at an early stage dogs that will be difficult to rehome and ensuring that any such dog has a specific plan in place. ## **Declaration** ## **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **----- Start of picture text -----**

The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the 2006 Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. - **Basis of independent** My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts **examiner’s statement** Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. **Independent examiner’s statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations - • to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations have not been met, or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. **Signed: Date:** 24 September 2025 **Name: Relevant professional qualification(s) or body** Chartered Accountant **(if any): Address:** Robb Ferguson Chartered Accountants, Regent Court, 70 West Regent Street, Glasgow, G2 2QZ *Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply.
