- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at lease twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “2024 began with extended operational hours—now covering 6am to midnight, with an emergency advice line overnight.”
- “Admissions were lower than in 2023, primarily due to new regulations restricting the use of certain medications by any persons other than a veterinary professional.”
- “SWWR completed a full refurbishment of all onsite aviaries... We also transitioned from Quantock Vet Hospital to a new veterinary partnership with Nurture Vets.”
- “Income decreased by 19% compared to 2023, primarily driven by a significant drop in legacy donations.”
- “Operational spending rose by 15%, reflecting inflationary pressures and necessary investment in staffing and compliance. A key factor was a 25% increase in staff costs.”
