Structure, governance and management
Governing Document
The Pettifor Trust Corporation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 19th August 2003. The Pettifor Trust Corporation operates within the framework of the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Appointment of Trustees
All trustees are appointed at the AGM, as set out in the Articles of Association. Any significant decisions need to be approved at Trustees meetings. The number of Trustees shall not be less than 3 (unless otherwise determined by ordinary resolution) but shall not be subject to a maximum.
Objectives and activities
The Pettifor Trust Corporation is a registered charity, number 1106097. The principal activity of the charity in the period under review was that of raising money for charitable causes relating to the prevention of cruelty to animals and the promotion of animal welfare.
Achievements and performance
Throughout the year we continued to see inflationary pressures taking a toll on our running costs particularly related to utilities and refuse and recycling collections. We are however pleased to note, towards the end of the year, increasing turnover and an increase in members of the public frequenting our charity shops.
Circumstances led us to employ a new shop management team which gave us the opportunity to employ experienced managers only, and this has lead to an increase in turnover and a much happier team.
We have also approached Social Business Wales and have been given a mentor, at no cost, to help restructure the charity based on advice from the Charity Commission. This advice was given during a review by the Charity Commission.
We have continued with our 'Keeping People and Pets Together' project which remains a delight to us, and our supporters. The aim of the project is to provide financial support to enable owners to keep their pets with them. So often when pets require medical treatment, the cost of which being beyond the financial ability of many, particularly the elderly or otherwise vulnerable, the options can lead to pets needing to be rehoused or worse. We remain willing and able to provide the necessary support.
We continue to see a growing need amongst animal sanctuaries and relief organisations. Working together with those organisations we have endeavoured to raise awareness of the work that they do and where appropriate provide financial support. We firmly believe that working together with other organisations is far more effective and rewarding than working in isolation. Building relationships with those who have a shared love of animals will remain key to the work that we do.
Education and raising awareness of animal suffering continues as a central pillar to our work. Promoting the need to safeguard animals at risk from harm and deprivation and, at the same time, demonstrating the mutual benefits of respectful pet ownership underlies our 'Kind Hands to all Animals' project which is primarily aimed at school children. We have continued to increase awareness of animals at risk and to educate the next generation of the importance and intrinsic benefits of supporting and caring for all animals whether they be domesticated pets or the wildlife of Wales. Instilling the concept in children that all animals have emotions and feelings can change attitudes and inspire them to become animal champions of the future.
We continue to invest in the development of the staff and volunteers managing those shops and to look at improved ways in which the shops can meet the needs of both patrons and supporters.
Our aims
Our primary objective is to ensure the welfare of animals and we do this in various ways including using the funds we raise to pay vet bills for vulnerable and homeless animals and financially support animal sanctuaries in South West Wales. We also aim to increase the awareness of animal suffering and the need for society to be proactive in facing issues relating to their welfare.
Grant funding
At our charity shops we are able to resell donated goods in order to raise funds for the charity. However, we are very much reliant on the grants received from organisations and foundations to support specific projects and enable our outreach work to raise awareness of animal suffering and the need for positive prevention of that suffering.
Grant funding is vital to achieving the aims of the Charity and the diminished availability of funding this year has hit us hard. However we are developing links with new partners which we are confident will stand us in good stead in the future.
Public benefit
We are very proud of the work that we do and we feel that we are making a big difference to alleviate the issues of animal suffering. We have outlined above our main activities and how those activities achieve the our charitable purposes for the public benefit.
The trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the commission's public benefit guidance when exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant.
Financial review
The accounts comply with the current statutory requirements and the charity's governing documents.
Total incoming resources for the year of £143,876 (£144,739 in 2023) consist mainly of shop income of £126,572 (£137,817 in 2023). Costs primarily related to the running of the shops amounted to £126,900 (£129,064 in 2023). Grants to Welsh animal welfare charities and causes amounted to £5,117 (£15,128 in 2023).
Expenditure exceeded income by £8,675 (excess of £33,742 income over expenditure in 2023).
Reserves policy
The trustees continually review the finances of the charity in order to ensure there are sufficient resources to enable it to meet its aims and objectives.
Plans for future periods
We have raised our profile considerably over the last few years which has put more demand on us with frequent requests to help animal sanctuaries with operations, vets bills, food and shelter.
For this reason we would like to open another shop but it has to be at the right price in the right location. We certainly intend to grow the charity in the future.
We are proud of the work we do and feel we are making a big difference to the problem of homeless and suffering animals in South West Wales.
The charity will continue its objectives of relieving the suffering of animals by raising public awareness and providing practical and financial support. Patrons are invited to keep an eye on the Trust's website www.pettifortrust.co.uk for further information and details of recent activities undertaken by the Trust.
We believe that as the financial effects of the cost of living crisis deepens, more animals will be at risk of neglect and deprivation. We therefore face the double threat of increased demands upon our resources together with potentially reduced income as our supporters and patrons themselves face financial pressures. The trustees stand ready to face these challenges and look at all ways to increase our income streams and minimise overhead costs. We are so grateful to our volunteers and supporters who share our vision and passion for the protection and wellbeing of all animals.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Pettifor Trust Corporation
Year ended 30 June 2024
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Pettifor Trust Corporation ('the charity') for the year ended 30 June 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements 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 the 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 charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
3. the financial statements 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 financial statements 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 30 June 2024
1. General information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is First Floor, 2 The Precinct, Killay, Swansea, SA2 7BA.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment. Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: - income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. - legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. - income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. - income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: - expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. - expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. - other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Motor vehicles
-
20% straight line
Equipment
-
20% reducing balance
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payble including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund. When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
4. Limited by guarantee
The company has no share capital and the liability of its members is limited by guarantee.
