Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's or the parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “On 4th October 2023 it was announced that Phase 2A of HS2 was cancelled. In the short to medium term this means we remain unaffected, however, the long-term implications for this project remain unclear at present. In any event the long-term reserves policy still has to take account of the potential need to relocate from projects or demands that may arise.”
• “In the year 2024/2025 the Trust carried out 334 rehomings, during the period 2023/2024 the Trust carried out 295 rehomings, the intention of the Trust is to re-home within this range. The figures have not yet returned to the levels pre-Covid but the pressures on all animal welfare can be highlighted in the figures for this year although the reasons behind them are varied.”
• “Volunteers are an important part of any charitable organisation and the Trust has always welcomed volunteer support, however, the Covid restrictions on volunteering and the loss of all volunteers for two years are still taking time to resolve and rebuild but we are seeing a gradual return, especially those offering extra time with the dogs in our care. During the financial year 40 volunteers supported our work in various ways including dog walking and administration.”
• “Following the refusal from HS2 to assisting financially with relocation, and the subsequent cancellation of the project, meaning we will be unaffected in the short to medium term, work on retiling kennels in the main rescue kennel block was completed along with other projects including fencing and secure areas within the new field and also a new Meet and Greet room which will provide a quiet and calm area for adopters to meet new dogs.”
• “Following a protracted process during 2022 the Trust secured the purchase of a 6-acre field directly opposite the centre and planning permission was obtained in order to utilise the area for dog walking and enrichment.”
