- Affirmed
“The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity will have adequate resources to continue in operation until at least December 2027. Consequently, the Trustees have concluded that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual statements.”
Significant events
- “On 1st July, halfway through the financial year, the charity's parent Dogs Trust, which was an unincorporated registered charity in England and Wales, transferred (almost) all of its assets and liabilities to Dogs Trust Worlwide, a charitable company registered in England and Wales (charity number 1167663, company number 09365971). Dogs Trust, the unincorported charity, was immediately renamed as Dogs Trust Legacy, whilst Dogs Trust Worldwide, the incorporated charity, was immediately renamed as Dogs Trust. From this date, Dogs Trust, the incorporated charity, became the new parent of WVS.”
