GIVE A DOG A BONE ( and an animal a home) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024
The trustees who are also the directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 November 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the 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 (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Give a Dog a Bone (and an animal a home) was granted charitable status in November 2013.
Objectives and aims
Give a Dog a Bone... and an animal a home was granted charitable status in November 2013.
The aim of the charity is to tackle loneliness for older adults via animal companionship.
We operate two main projects in order to achieve this aim:
The first is our original, long standing, project where we support the over 60s to afford a rescue pet companion – it’s a WIN/WIN – the person gets a friend and the animal gets a home!
The second project was launched in January 2018, called ‘Companionship in the Community’ – a communitybased project, providing a safe space for older adults to make new friends, learn new skills and mix with dogs!
Project number 1 allows older adults, who would love an animal companion - but are worried about the costs involved - financial assistance to adopt a pet.
Project number 2 recognises that many older adults love animals but, for whatever reason, do not (or cannot) have their own pet. Our community space project offers the opportunity to make new friends, learn new skills and mix with our special team of Companionship Dogs – without the pressure of taking a dog home!
Over the years we have helped thousands of older adults to have a more engaged existence with both peers and animals alike and have won several awards for our unique charitable offering.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The following statement is based on our 11[th] financial year to date, commencing 01 December 2023 and ending 30 November 2024.
Charitable activities
Give a Dog a Bone’s 11[th] year commenced on the 1[st] December 2023.
As the financial year opened, we received an unexpected one-off grant from HSBC towards activities for older adults, to take place across all of our community spaces. This was most welcome as it’s an area that is

consistently under-funded. As this was unexpected and, as a result, not forecast – it was a very positive start to our new financial year!
This, along with previously secured funding, meant we were able to start the financial year in a stronger position than ever before.
This healthy financial landscape was largely due to applications submitted the previous year/s, which had resulted in several multi-year funders. We are genuinely grateful to our funders for recognising the value of our work, by supporting us financially.
At the end of Year 11, the Trustees are pleased to report a profitable year, with income up 10% compared to the previous year.
We are pleased, once again, to see Fundraising income at over £100k per annum – with Just Giving donations the highest they have ever been (£24k) as more people identify Give a Dog a Bone as a charity they would like to support. This is an increase of £7k from Year 10.
Give a Dog a Bone is built on Fundraising and we are pleased to see this income stream continue to grow, year on year.
Community Fundraising is key to our success and, as we look forward, we continue to seek new ways to engage with our supporters and become their charity of choice.
Our original project of supporting older adults to afford a rescue pet remains steady and we have over 50 individuals who rely on our support, each month, to feed and/or insure their pet companion. The spend on this project in Year 11 was circa £21k, without any staff time or resources included in costs.
Here is a quote from an older adult beneficiary on our financial support scheme:
“I had talked for a long time about getting another dog but, as I am now retired, I felt I could not afford to. After GADAB helped me financially, I not only have a companion in the house and to go on walks with, I also have the chance to meet people when I’m out – and I have the GADAB community space as well. On days when I would perhaps stay in and become isolated, Willow doesn’t let me. It’s as simple as that! She thinks she’s the boss – and maybe she’s right!”
Our Companionship in the Community project continues to be the larger of the two projects.
Achievements
In Year 11 we had an overall footfall of almost 18,000 across our three locations – an increase of 2,000 from the previous year! We recognise that the cost of living crisis may have impacted these numbers as more people come to us for a hot drink and a warm space and – of course – companionship.
We are proud to note that each space has a core of regular, older adult, visitors who visit several times per week and who, without GADAB, would struggle to find connections within their community.
Here is a quote from an older adult service user on our Community Space project:
“The team always make you feel welcome. You can walk in and pull up a chair joining some company, or you can just talk to the dogs. You can mosey round looking for something to buy and then enjoy a coffee. There’s something for everyone at Give a Dog a Bone!”

GIVE A DOG A BONE ( and an animal a home) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024
One of our key strategic aims has been to improve, enhance and grow our community space project.
To this end, we are please to report two important updates:
-
1) As communicated in last year’s report, it has been our aim in recent years to upgrade/upscale our Shawlands community space offering. As our first ‘pilot’ community space, it is much smaller than the other two locations – which can prove difficult at times and limits the number of both humans and canines we can host at any one time.
-
Relocation has proven difficult as we struggled to secure a unit in a similar location, which fits our criteria in terms of size and cost.
We are pleased to report that, in late 2024, we became aware that the larger, double unit, right next door to our existing community space was becoming available. We acted quickly and are pleased to say that we have secured a 5-year tenancy and will get the keys in April 2025.
To avoid disruption in service, we will remain open in our existing community space, whilst work takes place next door to make it a safe and inviting space for our beneficiaries.
- 2) In line with our strategy to expand our offering in to the East of Scotland, we are delighted to report that we have identified Dunfermline as a good fit for our services and that, towards the end of Year 11, we had located a prime location on Dunfermline High Street which our current landlord had agreed to buy. The intention is that we will become immediate tenants. This reduces risk for both parties, as we continue our trusted partnership.
As we enter into Year 12 we recognise that it is going to be a very challenging year ahead - both financially and resource wise. Opening not one, but two community spaces in the space of months will undoubtedly put a strain on our small team. That being said, we are confident that our previous experience will pull us through.
Financially, we will experience both set up costs as well as an increase in running costs. With both Year 10 and 11 being profitable years, we are in a position where we can move forward with our strategy and look forward to achieving both of these key milestones for the charity.
Main Challenges in Year 11:
Lean team delivering a large project Shawlands unit has become too small for the demand Continuing to secure the appropriate level of funding

We will leave you with our Team Values, which we identified over the past year:
Our Values
We act with compassion for animals and older adults. Compassion in action is at the heart of what we do.
We are trusted by the individuals and organisations who fund us, as well as by those we support.
We respect, and are respected by, local communities and individuals within those communities.
We are recognised for our kindness. Kindness is our calling card!
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial overview
Overall reserves have increased by £43,882 during the year to 30 November 2024. Total income in the year was £351,442 an increase on the prior year of £33,198, an increase of 10%.
Reserves policy
The Trustees recognise the need for the charity to have reserves (that is, those funds that are freely available), which will enable it to cope with unexpected fluctuations in income and expenditure, to take advantage of development opportunities that might otherwise cause cash flow problems and to act as responsible employers in the event of termination of specific funding of the organisation. The trustees' policy is to aim to retain 6 months' worth of normal running costs in order to meet commitments and to cover any unexpected expenditure. At 30 November 2024, unrestricted reserves totalled £201,834.

GIVE A DOG A BONE ( and an animal a home) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 1 January 2015)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Companies Act 2006.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£).
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the trustees believe to be appropriate for the reasons set out in the Trustee's Report. There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The company considers on an annual basis the judgements that are made by management when applying significant accounting policies that would have the most significant effect on amounts that are recognised in the financial statements. The trustees consider there are no such significant judgements.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, 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.
Charitable activities
Costs of charitable activities are incurred on the charity's core operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity.
14
�������������������������������������������������������
GIVE A DOG A BONE ( and an animal a home) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life.
| Computer equipment | 33.33% on cost |
|---|---|
| Motor vehicles | 25% on cost |
| Office equipment | 25% on cost |
Fixed assets are included in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment.
No assets with a gross value of less than £100 are capitalised. These items have been treated as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Impairment of tangible fixed assets
Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. When the carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease.
Stocks
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to sell.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds
They can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds
They 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.
Transfers between funds
With regard to the use of both restricted and designated funds, the release represents an amount which matches the expenditure incurred in the year in respect of the relevant purpose of each fund. Transfers are made between funds for identified internal transactions such as staff training where funds are moved from unrestricted core income to a designated training fund. Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

�������������������������������������������������������
GIVE A DOG A BONE ( and an animal a home) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024
Financial instruments
The charity only enters into financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable.
Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year. Typically trade debtors or trade creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received.
Financial assets measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for evidence of impairment and if found, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Cash and cash equivalent includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other financial institutions.
Leasing commitments
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they are incurred over the term of the lease.
Pension commitments
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme . The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. The amount charged against the Statement of Financial Activities represents the contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period.
Donated assets
Donated assets received by the charity are capitalised and recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year they are received.
The basis of valuation is the price the charity estimates it would pay in the open market for goods of equivalent utility.
VAT
The company is not registered for VAT. Expenses are therefore shown inclusive of VAT in the financial statements.
