Management
The trustees are responsible for the strategic direction and governance of the Charity, as well as

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Charitsble purposes
To advance the education of the public on the preservation and conservation of the rare breed Oxford
Sandy and Black Pig , in particular but not exclusively, through the provision of workshops and events to
assist with furthering the knowledge of the conservation of the Oxford Sandy and Black Pig.
ACTIVITIES, ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The Oxford Sandy and Black Pig Group (OSBPG), have continued to grow and support our increasing
number of followers and supporters . These achievements can be seen across our social media pages
with our charity efforts, education programs, and fundraising initiatives. We have a dedicated
Committee who meet every month and work very hard behind the scenes to engage and educate our
supporters.
The key highlights for the year:
Education and Training
This year, OSBPG has continued to lead in education, providing members and the wider farming
community with clear, practical guidan￿ on breed management, welfare and sustainability. Our pig
training courses have continued to be exceptionally well re￿ived. Designed for both new and
experienced keepers, these courses provide interactive, practical training and expert guidance, helping
participants gain confidence in pig management and welfare.

Events and Public Engagement
OSBPG has actively participated in a wide range of events this year, promoting our charity and breed
to the public, fellow breeders and the wider agricultural community. These events have provided
opportunities to showcase the Oxford Sandy and Black pig, raise awareness of rare breeds and
promote sustainable and ethical farming practices.
Additionally, we have been working closely with the pig industry on critical issues such as African
Swine Fever (ASF) and other disease control measures. Our focus has been on improving
communication and guidance for both pig keepers and the general public, helping ensure that
biosecurity practices are clearly understood and widely adopted. These initiatives play a crucial role in
protecting pig health, conserving rare breeds and supporting informed, responsible farming across the
UK.
Pork Development Team
The launch of our new Pork Development Team is a strategic extension of the Charity. By supporting
independent producers, tracking production data, and promoting OSB Pork products, the team has
strengthened the market presence of our breed while demonstrating the quality, versatility, and value of
Oxford Sandy and Black pork. This initiative has further reinforced the connection between breed
conservation, producer support, and public engagement.
OSB Register
The charity has had many busy months this year, with Cloudlines (our Pig register) dissolving earlier in
the year and with no other alternative register available, we developed a brand new register from scratch
to maintain continuity for the members who were already signed up to Cloudlines. After its launch some
months ago, we continued to make improvements to the register so the charity can continue to grow and
support its members. We would like to thanks Andrew O'shea for all his hard work in setting up this
valuable resource.
Social Media
Our Facebook, Instagram and YouTube Channels continue to attract a huge number of followers and
enthusiastic engagement with our podcasts , the OSB Stock List , Pig Tales Newsletter and online
competitions. Our website sales and OSB products are very popular and contribute greatly to our funds.
Genetic Support Allowance(GSA)
We continue with the good work in ensuring the continued diversity and strength of the Oxford Sandy
and Black pig breed. We supported pig breeders with £1000 of GSA.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Our main sourceof funding continuesto be merchandise sales, fees for the our own breed register
and charitable donations.
In Summary, all Receipts and Payments are unrestricted with total receipts being £8,119 (2024:
£11,860). Payments for the year were £8,971 (2024: £17,215) , mainly running costs for the website

Reserves Policy
To date the Charity has not had a Reserves Policy as such, keeping a nominal figure in reserve in the
Savings account to cover any unexpected expenditure. However, the Trustees will be reviewing the
need for a formal Reserves Policy.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
Looking ahead, we are excited for what the future holds and are committed to continuing our mission
to support the Oxford Sandy and Black pig breed, alongside the farmers, breeders, and enthusiasts
who make our community so special. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to our successes
this year.

Independent Examiner's Report on the Accounts of
The Oxford Sandy and Black Pig Group (SC052662)
For the year to 30th September 2025
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees & 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) 2005 Act and the Charities Accounts
(Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees consider that the audit
requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) 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 Independent Examinerfs Statement
My examination is carried out in accordan￿ 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 seeks explanations from
the trustees con￿mIng any such matters. The Pro￿dureS 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 accounts.
Independent Examiner's Ststement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention
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 comply
with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
have not been met, or
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a
proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
