ANIMAL CARE IN EGYPT LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 03835294)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2023


The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The principal area of benefit is Southern Egypt and the charitable objectives are:

1) To relieve the suffering and distress of animals who are sick and in need of care and protection by reason of sickness or maltreatment in particular but not exclusively by the provision of horse and donkey centres in Egypt.

2) To educate members of the public especially children on matters concerning animal welfare whilst working closely with the local authorities.

Significant activities
The activities of the charity include the provision of extensive veterinary hospitalisation with in-patient and out-patient facilities for both equine and domestic animals which includes 24 hour emergency treatment for all animals. Significant emphasis is based on education for all those that visit the centre.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
We would again like to thank BEVA and Rossdales for their continued support and again to Helen Collins voluntary admin assistance.

In the first part of the year we were happy to welcome volunteers back until October with the onset of the Israeli and Palestine conflict. Many volunteers that had booked to come to ACE cancelled. We hope that we will be able to accommodate them at a later date.

The redecoration of the visitor centre including a new in memorandum area and a new stable sponsorship area was completed this year.

We continue to see animals from further afield making the journey to ACE keeping our team of 6 vets very busy.

We are incredibly grateful to all our supporters and work hard to make good use of their donations.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The net movement in funds for the year was a decrease of £105,315, compared to a decrease of £120,497 for the previous year.

The Trustees regularly monitor and review the level of reserves. The Trustees consider a level of reserves equivalent to a minimum of six months unrestricted expenditure (adopted in accordance with Charity Commission guidelines), to be reasonable given the nature and scale of the charity's activities.

The Trustees have reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are confident that controls are in place to mitigate those risks.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Animal Care in Egypt - ACE is a Charity with clear objectives and a high profile within Egypt since opening in July 2000. On a day to day basis the ACE Centre & Hospital continues to be managed by Ms Kim Taylor, who was involved in the initial concept and has managed the centre since it opened. The Trustee board has every confidence in Kim, and consults closely with her in major decisions and directions in which the Charity takes or needs to address. The Trustee's role is to ensure we are working within our financial constraints.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
ANIMAL CARE IN EGYPT LIMITED

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Animal Care In Egypt Limited ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st December 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
