Trustees' Report
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2025.
Objectives and Activities
Aims and Objectives
For the benefit of the public, 
1) To relieve people who are in need by reason of being homeless, vulnerably housed, domestic violence, hospitalised, mental health and rehabilitation or otherwise severely affected by poverty and to relieve the suffering of animals in need of care and attention, by: 
  • Assisting in the provision of free veterinary care and free essential services and items such as goods, dog food / diet harnesses, grooming, obedience, training, leads, bedding, and toys for their animals 
  • Arranging foster care at our safe kennel sanctuary for their animals when they are not able to care for them or when the animal has a specific medical need 
  • Re-homing in the event the owner cannot support the animal (ie in the event of death or the owner having complex needs. 
  •  Assisting the owner in engaging with relevant services/pathways with a view to accommodation, medical support, rehabilitation, mental health and domestic violence or any other support services that the owner may be in personal need of. 
2) To advance the education of the public in general in respect of animal care and welfare for the public benefit, particularly by training those working in the homeless and service sectors.
Significant Activities
Dogs on the Streets exists to relieve hardship among homeless and vulnerable people with dogs through practical support, welfare assistance, advocacy and safeguarding services.
Activities during the year included:
• Street outreach including emergency dog food distribution
• Veterinary and welfare support
• Emergency safeguarding and temporary dog care
• Advice, advocacy and signposting & Partnership with outreach teams and frontline services
• Public awareness and fundraising activities
• Support for individuals entering hospital, rehabilitation, refuge or temporary accommodation where a dog was involved.
Achievements and Performance
Main Achievements
Outreach and Welfare Support
The charity continued regular frontline outreach, supporting vulnerable dog owners experiencing homelessness, poverty and housing instability.
Veterinary Assistance
Dogs on the Streets continued helping vulnerable owners access veterinary care including emergency treatment, vaccinations, flea and worming treatment, welfare monitoring and liaison with veterinary professionals and partner organisations.

Main Achievements - continued
Sanctuary and Operational Development
The charity continued operating from 5 Claverhambury Kennels under its existing five-year lease and veterinary practice registration no. 7492139. During 2025, the charity also took over the lease of 4 Claverhambury Kennels to accommodate increasing demand for emergency dog placements.
Partnership and Community Development
The charity strengthened partnerships with frontline agencies including the London Ambulance Service and Westminster Council. Increased work was also undertaken within the local Essex community surrounding the sanctuary, supporting individuals facing housing issues, domestic violence and rehabilitation needs through signposting and practical assistance.
During the reporting period, the charity also became increasingly aware of the growing number of dog owners entering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services who had no safe arrangements in place for their dogs. Dogs on the Streets provided emergency safeguarding support for several dogs in these circumstances and, in one case, supported both the owner and their dog throughout the owner’s rehabilitation journey.
Grants and Funding
The charity was grateful to receive support from several charitable foundations and local supporters during the reporting period. One grant funded a planned kennel block expansion which was deferred until 2025–2026 due to seasonal ground conditions at the sanctuary. Additional local support included the installation of solar panels and refurbishment works to kennel and staff facilities carried out by volunteer teams.
Volunteers
Volunteers remained central to the charity’s work, assisting with outreach, transport, administration, fundraising, dog welfare and events.
Challenges During 2024–2025
The charity continued to face increasing demand for support alongside rising operational costs, veterinary expenses and growing housing-related enquiries. The charity also experienced increased requests from individuals unable to access charitable veterinary services due to changing eligibility criteria operated by some providers. Recruitment and retention of volunteers, particularly for evening outreach and specialist roles, remained challenging while transport, fuel, storage and welfare costs continued to impact operational delivery.
Future plans
Trustees aim to:
• Continue and strengthen outreach services
• Expand partnership working with frontline agencies
• Improve fundraising capacity and financial sustainability
• Recruit volunteer specialists and additional trustees with relevant expertise
• Strengthen emergency safeguarding support for dogs
• Increase awareness of homelessness involving dog owners
• Continue improving governance and operational procedures
• Expand community engagement initiatives within Essex

Financial Review
Financial Position
The total incoming resources during the year ended 31 July 2025 amounted to £482,390 (2024: £364,778) of which £289,207 was unrestricted and £193,183 in restricted income. 
Expenditure amounted to £387,499 (2024: £407,794) split £356,087 in unrestricted expenditure and £31,412 in restricted. The overall result is a deficit of £66,880 (2024: £23,857) in the unrestricted fund and a surplus of £161,771 (2024: deficit of £19,159) in restricted funds leaving retained funds of £223,432 (2024: £128,541) at the year end. This is split between a deficit in the unrestricted funds of £44,743 and positive restricted funds of £268,175. 
Cash in the bank and additional accounts at 31st July 2025 was £122,396 (2024: £70,821). 
The total income is under the current audit threshold in the Charities Act 2011 and the Trustees have therefore agreed that the accounts should be independently examined rather than incurring the additional costs of audit.
Reserves Policy
The charity has a policy to keep reserves as a minimum of three months operating costs to a maximum of six months. 
The deficit on unrestricted funds has arisen primarily as a result of the pressures as set out in the achievements and performance section above and due to donations falling in the year.  Income from donations fell but was replaced with grants for capital projects.
In 2026 the charity has improved its gifts and donations and has been looking at recovering Gift Aid for earlier years to improve its general fund.  It is recognised that there continues to be a huge demand for the charity's services and support and the charity is looking to manage future multi-year grants to support the works undertaken within the Sanctuary to support those regular costs.
The purpose of one of the restricted funds was finalised in 2026 and the terms of the grant allow for any unspent funds within the grant to be transferred to the general unrestricted fund.
The trustees recognise that restricted funds cannot be used for general charitable purposes unless permitted by the terms of the relevant funding agreements. As a result, although the charity has net assets of £223,432, only a limited proportion of these funds is available to support general operations.
The trustees have reviewed the charity's forecasts and projected income and expenditure for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. 
Based on this review, together with fundraising plans, increased general giving and close work with funders, the trustees consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.  The trustees continue to monitor unrestricted reserves closely and have implemented measures to strengthen the charity's unrestricted financial position over the medium term.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Dogs On The Streets Ltd
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 July 2025.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the charity 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
Since the Company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.
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).
Matters of concern - Going Concern
Without modifying my conclusion, I draw attention to Note 2.2 of the financial statements, which describes a
material uncertainty relating to going concern. At 31 July 2025, the charity's unrestricted funds were in deficit by
£44,743 and the charity's ability to continue to meet its obligations as they fall due is dependent upon the receipt
of post year-end income and the successful delivery of its fundraising plans.
The trustees have identified a number of post year-end developments that support the going concern basis of
preparation, including a confirmed unrestricted donation of £100,000 received after the year end and the
potential release of restricted funds into unrestricted reserves. These matters are described in Note 2.2.
My conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Conclusion
I have no other 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.

The financial statements 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 charitable company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity.
2.2. Going Concern Disclosure
The trustees are aware that the charity's unrestricted funds were in deficit by £44,743 at 31 July 2025. Whilst this is a cause for concern, the trustees have reviewed the charity's forecast income and expenditure for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements and consider it appropriate to prepare the accounts on the going concern basis. 
The trustees' assessment is supported by the following post year-end developments:
  • Since the year end, the charity has received a confirmed unrestricted donation of £100,000.
  • The trustees have identified £60,948 of Gift Aid recoverable in respect of the year ended 31 July 2025, which has been recognised as income in these financial statements.  A further £10,000 to £15,000 of Gift Aid is estimated to be recoverable for the period August 2025 to May 2026.
  • The Marshall and Millions Fund has concluded its legal expenditure commitments and the balance of the fund may be released into the charity's unrestricted funds in accordance with the terms of that donation.
The trustees continue to monitor unrestricted reserves closely and have implemented measures to strengthen the charity's financial position including the appointment of a Treasurer Trustee.  The trustees are also actively pursuing unrestricted fundraising opportunities and grant applications to support the charity's ongoing operational costs.
Notwithstanding the above, the existence of the unrestricted deficit at the balance sheet date and the reliance on post year-end receipts and future fundraising activity represent a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from the going concern basis of preparation being inappropriate.

2.3. 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.
2.4. Incoming Resources
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.
Donations are recognised upon receipt of funds. Legacies have been accounted for when the charity is entitled to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amounts can be reliably measured.
Grants are recognised in the accounts for the period that they relate in accordance with any specific conditions set by the grantor.
2.5. Resources Expended
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.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
2.6. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Improvements to Property over term of lease
Plant & Machinery 25% reducing balance
Motor Vehicles over 4 years
Computer Equipment over 3 years
2.7. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of opening of the deposit.

2.8. Foreign Currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating surplus.
2.9. Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
2.10. Debtors
Trade debtors and other debtors are included at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.
2.11. Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the Charity has a present obligation arising from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are recognised at their settlement amount.

The creditors balance attributable to unrestricted funds on the balance sheet is £126,397.  This figure includes an internal fund allocation of £103,866 which represents the overdrawn unrestricted cash position within the charity's fund accounting.  This arises because all cash held by the charity at 31 July 2025 of £122,396 is held within restricted fund bank accounts and is therefore presented within restricted funds on the balance sheet. The internal allocation does not represent a liability to a third party.  Actual third party creditors at 31 July 2025 totalled £22,531 as set out above.
