The Trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act) present their annual report together with the financial statements for the period 1 November 2023 to 31 October 2024.The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the company comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the company's governing document and Accounting and Reporting by Charities; Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The Charity's objects are to promote humane behaviour towards animals by providing appropriate care, protection, treatment and security for animals which are in need of care and attention by reason of sickness, maltreatment, poor circumstances or ill usage and to educate the public in matters of pertaining to animal welfare in general and the prevention of cruelty and suffering among animals.

Achievements and performance

The charity has continued to promote humane behaviour towards animals during the year.

However, the charity faced ongoing challenges in its operations. In particular, the trustees encountered significant difficulties in recruiting and retaining suitable employees to manage and deliver the charity's work. Despite repeated efforts, it became clear that the charity could not continue its activities sustainably without adequate operational support.

Public benefit

In planning any activities for the year the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.

Financial Review

The financial results of the charity are as shown in the Statement of Financial Activities on Page 5. As can be seen, there is a net loss of £23,378 (2023: £21,180 net profit) for the period. The Trustees consider that the performance of the charity this year has been satisfactory. The loss for the period arose after adjustments for a debtor balance writen off and impairment of assets. If these adjustments are excluded, then the result for the year would have been a net profit of £ 10,686.

Due to the decision to cease operations, the accounts have not been prepared on a going concern basis. Assets have been valued at amounts expected to be recovered, and any known liabilities have been recognised in full.

The retained reserves at the end of the year amounted to £ 47,577 and the trustees are satisfied that the charity retains sufficient assets to meet all outstanding obligations.

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.

None of the trustees have any beneficial interest in the company. All of the trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.

Induction and training

As part of their training, Trustees are given an information pack which includes the Foundation's Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Charity Commission guidance on Trustees' Responsibilities. All Trustees are aware of their legal duties and obligations in respect of the management of the Foundation, including in relation to the protection of its assets.

Related parties

An intercompany balance of £18,578 due from Glendee Ltd has been written off during the year, as the trustees have assessed that the amount is no longer recoverable since this company is currently under liquidation.

Risk management

The trustees have identified and reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Both manual and automated checks are regularly invoked, particularly those relating to the operations and finance of the charity. The trustees are satisfied that these systems and procedures manage any perceived risks.

Cessation of Activities and Plans for the future

Uncertainties in the current climate continues and following the end of the financial year, the trustees made the decision to cease all charitable operations. The charity formally ceased its activities by the year end. This decision was taken after careful consideration of the charity's operational constraints and long-term viability.

In accordance with charity law and the company's articles, any remaining assets of Glendee Rescue Ltd will be applied towards charitable purposes. The trustees are taking appropriate steps to transfer any surplus funds or assets to a charity with similar charitable objectives.

EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE YEAR

Information relating to events since the end of the year is given in the notes to the financial statements.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 18 September 2025 and signed on its behalf by:

Ms G L Armstrong - Trustee

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Glendee Rescue Ltd ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 October 2024.

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.

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.

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.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Taxation

The Foundation is not subject to any taxes on its charitable activities. Irrecoverable VAT is charged to the SOFA against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Cash and cash equivalent

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and in hand, short term deposits with an original maturity date of one month. Cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Foreign currencies

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

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 recognised at amortised cost, except for investments in non-convertible preference and non-puttable ordinary shares which are measured at fair value, with changes recognised in profit or loss.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Derivative financial instruments are initially recorded at cost and thereafter at fair value with changes recognised in profit and loss.
