ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Dog Meat Trade Dachshund Rescue & Support Group (DMT DRSG) was created in May 2020 and celebrated our 5th Anniversary this year. Within this reporting period the Charity rescued 62 dogs (72-2024) taking the total number of rescues to 279 (217 - 2024). In addition, a further 61 dogs were transported to forever homes (61 - 2024) in the UK taking the total number of dogs in the UK to 225 (164 - 2024).
The trip planned to South Korea in September 2024 was unfortunately cancelled due to last minute volunteer hospitalisation, discussions are underway to reschedule. In February 2025, we made the decision to end the relationship with our China boarding facility, this was to protect our charitable purposes and to obtain a better service. We have been working with a new boarding facility since and to date have experienced a vastly improved service, not to mention reduced costs.
The Charity has continued to expand the vitally important network of foster volunteers to provide emergency foster care for our rescued dogs if required. The number of approved foster homes in our network currently stands at 130 (113 - 2024) and covers the whole of the UK. We have continued to source high quality adopters for our dogs and have seen a number of repeat adopters, who have adopted from us once and adopted again in the future. This year we also reviewed our adoption terms and conditions in relation to the ongoing financial support for health conditions, the aim of this was to ensure sustainability of charity funds.
Our social media presence has continued to grow. Our Facebook Group membership has grown to 12,407 members/supporters, providing a significant social media platform to raise awareness and funds. Our Instagram following has grown by over 6,000 people during the reporting period, standing at 16,069 by May 2025 (9,705 - 2024). This platform is vital for global awareness of the charity and the dog meat trade. The Charity's Tik Tok account currently has 25,835 followers (17,220 - 2024) and 358,952 likes (187k - 2024) and our Twitter recorded 1,395 (1300 - 2024) followers. The Charity's website also recorded 103.9k unique visits (76k - 2024).
The charity has been engaging with a volunteer web designer/user experience expert to overhaul the charity website, the main aims of this are to enhance the charity's awareness/reputation, to make donations easier and to make adoption adverts more accessible. Due to improved functionality, the new website should also be quicker and easier to update, saving time for our volunteers. The new website will also feature information on the Dog Meat Trade in general in order to educate the public.
The charity continued to undertake fundraising events including a sponsored walk in both Aviemore and Sunderland, providing an opportunity for supporters to come together and raise vital funds. We also attended 24 (46- 2024) dog themed events across the UK to raise funds through merchandise sales, these events also provide a vital awareness raising opportunity. Planning is underway for our first independent fundraising event, set to take place in June 2025.
We now produce our own items for sale at our events and on our Etsy store- using our heat press and mug press- this includes greeting cards, Christmas baubles, bookmarks, mugs, water bottles, bandanas and clothing. In addition to producing our own goods, we continue to enlist the support of our volunteer crafters- of which we have 288 of- who handmake a whole range of goods for us. In July 2024, we formed a partnership with Merton Court School, who held a fundraising event for us which involved us supplying them a range of custom merchandise to be purchased by their pupils. This initiative raised £2017.83.
The Charity's active monthly Guardian Angels who contribute towards the cost of the care and rehabilitation of the dogs has also grown to 575, an increase of 35 contributors since the previous reporting period.
Work was undertaken around the provision of our charity spare change collection boxes, an order form has been created and added to our website and social media platforms. The form seeks to gather information on the location the box will be stored to ensure that we are only supplying boxes to locations with a worthwhile return on investment.

Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 May 2025
We have started to apply for charitable grants and have applied for around 16 but are yet to see any success. We are also frequently contacting companies for corporate sponsorship and/or item donations we can use to raise funds. Corporate Sponsorship has included - £500 from Univer and £1000 from . Item donations have included support
from companies such as Innocent Hound, Sausage Dog Box, Tails.com, Baavet, Danish Design Dog Beds and Craft Gin Club. In July 2024, we attended a network/celebration event in London with one of our corporate sponsors
This was a great opportunity to learn about the support available to the charity and build worthwhile relationships. We intend to attend again in July 2025.
We have also expanded our use of the platform Sum Up this year which has allowed us to create a user friendly donation link, which is displayed on our website and social media pages, allowing donors to pay via card, Google Pay or Apple Pay. This has generated a huge increase in organic donations over recent months.
In October 2022 the Charity launched an Etsy page and up to and including 31st of May 2025 have taken 2,420 orders (1,114 - 2024) providing total revenue of £22,600 (£13,514 - 2024).
Our new board of trustees have settled well into their roles and despite some movement, we now have a dedicated, skilled and experienced board of trustees. In May 2025, the trustee board held their first "away day" and met in London to discuss and devise a new strategy for the charity.
In October 2024, Charity Manager resigned and new manager was appointed, supported by Deputy Charity Manager . Charity operations continue to be coordinated by a team of 24 dedicated volunteers. Close attention has been paid in recent months to enhancing the volunteer experience. Initiatives include; regular volunteer surveys, Wellness Wednesdays, exit interviews and the promotion of benefits such as charity volunteer discount sites.
After much discussion, it was decided that we would not be continuing with our previous objective of post adoption volunteers undertaking behaviourist training. This was deemed to be too time consuming for volunteers and too costly for the charity. Instead post adoption team members have been benefitting from peer learning and learning through experience of working with our adopters and 3rd party behaviourists. We have continued to expand our network of behaviourists who are willing to support us at a discounted rate.
(founder and charity manager until October 2024) was awarded an MBE in December 2024, recognising her hard work and dedication to charitable purposes. This was great recognition for the charity and the work we carry out.

FUTURE PLANS
Over the next 12 months the Charity's objectives are:
Brand:
- To progress the development of an exciting new identity and recognisable brand. This will be implemented across digital and print platforms, including a new website. We expect this will lead to improved awareness, higher engagement and increased fundraising opportunities.
Fundraising:

To begin a project to gather more data from our monthly sponsors 'Guardian Angels' and increase our engagement and communication with them.
-
To explore a broader range of funding sources by investigating potential resources and approaches that could support more sustainable income including considering event templates, grant opportunities, and partnership options.
-
To pilot running our own fundraising event. If successful, we will look to expand across the UK, creating supporting templates to enable this to be run by passionate ambassadors.
-
To refresh our Etsy store, to ensure we are offering high quality and in demand items whilst maximising profit.
Adoption / dogs:
-
To continue to grow our network of approved foster homes across the UK, and aim to ensure we have a variety of homes available.
-
To enhance our management of information, particularly in the area of post adoption, to ensure that we are keeping clear and comprehensive records.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Dog Meat Trade Dachshund Rescue &
Support Group
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 May 2025 set out on pages seven to fifteen.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity's trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1)(a) to (c) of the 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 the independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. 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 seeking explanations from you as 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; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with Regulation 8 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.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The accounts are presented in sterling which is the charity's functional currency, and rounded to the nearest pound.
No changes have been made to the basis of preparing the financial statements this year.
Going concern
The accounts are prepared on a going concern basis.
The Trustees have reviewed the financial position and the reserves policy at page 3 and are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue and that the going concern basis remains appropriate.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements conforms with the requirements of the Charities SORP and general accepted accounting principles. The only area in which it is considered that the accounting estimates and areas of judgement have been applied is depreciation, the policy on which is outlined below.
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.
Fixtures and fittings On a straight line basis over 2 years On a straight line basis over 4 years
Computer equipment On a straight line basis over 3 years
Assets are reviewed for impairment on an annual basis.
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing stock to its present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out formula. Provision is made for damaged, obsolete and slow-moving stock where appropriate.

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.

Creditors and loans
Creditors and loans are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and loans are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
