Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 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 31 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).

STRATEGIC REPORT
Achievement and performance
Charitable activities
In 2023 we continued to push forward to make Goodheart Animal Sanctuary (GHAS) a great place for our resident animals and for people to come visit our animals, learn about their lives both at the sanctuary and before they arrived plus about the lives of those 'farm' animals who aren't lucky enough to find their way to a sanctuary.

Our big project was building the Merry Rehabilitation and Special care unit and I'm pleased to report this was mostly completed with some residents were able to start using the facility. The unit will allow us to provide an isolated and quiet area for those residents that need it maybe whilst recovering from illness or an operation or if available it can provide overnight accommodation for our equines.

The toilet block was completed in time for our Open Day which attracted around 600 people (our biggest yet). The outside toilets made the visitor experience much better.

The record-breaking Open Day provided visitors with a chance to meet our residents; well those that like to interact with humans, gift stalls, food stalls and talks provided by staff and people from other animal welfare organisations.

We recruited a new education manager following the resignation of the previous incumbent. Whilst this resignation led to a suspension of visits, we were still able to welcome over 50 school children during the year and continue our tours and experience days alongside corporate volunteer visits. The feedback on all these types of visits was amazing.

GHAS continued to work with the British Hen Welfare Trust and during the year we helped rescue 1095 hens.
Sadly we lost 4 cattle to TB. Despite being a sanctuary where our animals will never end up in the food chain, there was absolutely nothing we could do to prevent their deaths due to government/DEFRA rules. I'm very pleased to say the sanctuary subsequently passed all the TB tests resulting from this outbreak.

To finish on a happier note; GHAS's verification with the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries was renewed and is a clear indication that we are providing great care to our residents. I believe we are the only farm animal sanctuary in Europe to achieve this. Well done and thank you to all the staff who help make this happen.

Fundraising activities
There is no doubt that the 'cost of living crisis' suffered in 2023 had an adverse effect on us and no doubt many other animal charities. Additionally, we didn't have a Gala during the year as these are planned for every two years. As a result, our fundraising totals suffered.

We were grateful for two trust donations to help with our education programme and to go towards our Goat village planned for 2024.

We continued to build our profile on social media, our Open Day was our biggest yet and our adoptions and visitor packages continued to sell reasonably well.

Financial review
Financial position
In June of 2023 we sold Brackenmoor for £360,000. Brackenmoor had previously been the home to Wiccaweys Rescued Border Collies and working Sheepdogs CIC; which GHAS had continued to support prior to the sale of the property. After the sale we continued to support the dogs (7) which hadn't been adopted at that time of the sale and which were cared for by the new owners who were running a dog kennels.

The sale gave GHAS a significant injection of cash which meant the Trustees didn't have to put any money in during 2023.

However, due to the large inflationary pressures on feed, building materials etc plus an increase in minimum wages which has the knock-on effect of pushing up all salaries, the sale money was used to a greater extent than hoped. This would have a negative effect in 2024 where we already knew there was likely to be a large increase in the minimum wage. Whilst some companies can absorb such increases and others pass the increase or part thereof onto their customers; sadly, charities aren't afforded that luxury. When their supporters are suffering, this will have a knock-on effect on charities.

With GHAS, the trustees will continue to support the sanctuary to ensure it's a great place for the residents, our hardworking staff/volunteers and our visitors for years to come.

Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023


STRATEGIC REPORT
Financial review
Reserves policy
As the charity's income (excluding Trustee donations ) is well below the cost of running the charity, we are not in a position to hold reserves for long periods. The charities money is held in a business account with Barclays Bank and from here invoices, salaries etc are paid. As previously stated the Trustees will continue to donate to cover the cost of any shortfalls between income and costs.

Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they have adopted the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.

Financial Management
The management team prepare the annual operational budget for the charity and this is approved by the Trustees prior to the commencement of the financial period.

The Trustees receive quarterly reports on the financial performance of the charity. These include an income and expenditure statement compared to budget.

Plans For Future Period
GHAS despite some of financial issues mentioned above will continue with its mission to provide a great sanctuary for our residents whilst highlighting the fact that so called farm animals are not just commodities on legs but are living breathing creatures who like humans and other animals have characters, emotions, needs, feelings, friendships etc.

We will aim to increase our visitor numbers including holding another Open Day in 2024 and introducing more school children to farmed animals along with all visitors.

2024 will also see us put on our third Gala aimed at raising funds for GHAS as well as advertising the work we are doing.

Work will also start on our Goat Village.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Method of appointment or election of Trustees
The management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Articles of Association.

Risk management
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charity and are satisfied that the systems and procedures are in place to mitigate its exposure to the major risks.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of Goodheart Animal Sanctuaries for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

-select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In so far as the trustees are aware:

-there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
-the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS
The auditors, Haines Watts Tamworth Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

Report of the trustees, incorporating a strategic report, approved by order of the board of trustees, as the company directors, on 24 September 2024 and signed on the board's behalf by:

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Goodheart Animal Sanctuaries

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Goodheart Animal Sanctuaries (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:
-give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 December 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern
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 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.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Goodheart Animal Sanctuaries


Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Goodheart Animal Sanctuaries


Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:

- results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks and irregularities;
- any matters we identified having obtained an understanding of the company policies and procedures relating to:
- identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they are aware of any instances
of non-compliance;
- detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or
alleged fraud;
- the internal controls set up to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations
- the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the
financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud;
- obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the company operates in, focusing on
those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the financial statements, including UK Companies Act 2006,
pensions and tax legislation;
- provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but
compliance with which may be fundamental to the company's ability to operate or to avoid material penalty. These
include the non adherence to animal welfare requirements and safety legislation surrounding public visits to the
sanctuary when taking part in educational programmes.

As a result of performing the above, we did not identify any key audit matters related to the potential risk of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.

Audit response to risks identified

Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:

- reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with
provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
- enquiring of management concerning actual and potential legal action and claims;
- carrying out analytical procedure to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of
material misstatement due to fraud, including review of independently prepared management accounts;
- in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal
entries and other adjustments;
- assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias;
- evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of
business; and
- considering performance targets and their influence on efforts made by management to manage earnings

We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

Goodheart Animal Sanctuaries


Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the company's accounting policies, which are described in this note, Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates are underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the directors have made the following judgements:

- A provision is recognised when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a
past event for which it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and
the amount can be reliably estimated. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the
expected future cash flow at a rate that reflects the Time value of money and the risks specific to the
liability.
- Whether a present obligation is probable or not requires judgement. The nature and type of risks for these
provisions differ and Trustee's judgement is applied regarding the nature and extent of obligations in
deciding if an outflow of resources is probable or not.
- Depreciation and residual values. Trustees have reviewed the asset lives and associated residual value
of all fixed asset classes and concluded that they are appropriate.

The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a
number of factors. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation, product life cycles
and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as
future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projects disposal values.

Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income tax recoverable in relations to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised
at the Time of the donation.

Investment income is included where receivable.

Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such as grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

Intangible assets
Amortisation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Branding-25% straight line
