Objectives and activities
Objectives and aims

Achievements and performance
Charitable activities
The sanctuary continues to perform and promote the core values in the way it was intended and hoped by its founder, Alexandra Bastedo. We have numerous equines of varying size. In May and July 2025 we sadly had to say goodbye to two of our ponies. As at the end of January 2026, we averaged 21 equines, approximately 27 cats, 3 pigs, 4 goats, 3 sheep and a variety of chickens and ducks, all living calmly and happily in ten acres of beautiful grounds. Although the intake of cats during 2025/26 remained high, rehoming was good and a considerable number of cats were rehomed, a lot of them going to new homes in pairs. Approximately 23 cats were rehomed during 2025/26. We continue to be aware that a significant number of people suffer from depression, anxiety, bereavement and other forms of mental stress - the problems of which can often be alleviated by contact with or caring for animals. We aim to help if and when we can in these situations, although it is not always possible. Also as with our volunteers, working with animals and out in the fresh air helps to calm the mind and bring relaxation to individuals. We are pleased to continue to assist the local community by taking students from various educational colleges and schools for work experience and Bronze, Silver and Gold Duke of Edinburgh Awards. During 2025/26, visits by after school clubs dropped again and we only had a few visits during this period. The charity continues to go through an extremely difficult time regarding the financial aspects, with the rising costs of feed, vet’s bills, maintenance etc along with the decrease in donations and other income. General projects, along with day-to-day maintenance, continue to be challenging with the expense of materials and tools playing a major part. The overall project across all aspects of the charity to review costs, in an attempt to lower expenditure, continues. As always, the Trustees’ continued and heartfelt thanks goes to all the volunteers who give their time, whether hands on or working behind the scenes, covering every day of the year and without whom the sanctuary would not be able to operate. Subsequent to the end of the 2025/26 financial year, in July 2026 the sanctuary completed the sale of the house on the property. It was sold for £975,000, realising much needed funds with which we will ensure the continued wellbeing of the animals under our care.















Fundraising activities
Fundraising as always continues to be a constant challenge and requires a lot of hard work, dedication and manpower. We were very pleased with the success of the open weekend again, which proved to be one of the best attended to date and the most rewarding. Our online Christmas raffle was also a great success. We continue to fundraise and raise the profile of the charity by visiting local fetes and fairs along with one of our Shetland ponies. Strong growth continues generally with sponsorships and these were usually renewed. However, when people didn’t renew, new sponsors replaced them, so the numbers did not drop. During this period there were 137 sponsors, 10 ambassadors and 3 business sponsors. Sponsor and ambassador afternoon attendees have increased by over 50% during this period.

Financial review
Financial position
Overall the charity made a deficit of £44,081 compared with a deficit of £41,295 in the prior year. At the end of the financial year the retained reserves of the charity were £819,529 (2025: £863,610), of which £728,410 (2025: £734,755) was represented by the freehold property and other tangible fixed assets, and none were restricted. Given the level of free reserves the trustees recognise that our efforts to contain costs and boost fundraising must continue in order to ensure the long term future of the sanctuary. We shall continue to take in as many animals as we possibly can but we remain aware of both the financial constraints and land availability.



Reserves policy
The trustees are aiming to maintain a position where reserves equivalent to three years of expenditure will be held. This is considered necessary due to the longevity of the animals in the care of the charity and the difficulty in finding homes for some of them. In order to achieve this in the longer term it is the intention of the trustees to ensure that fundraising activities are maintained at a level where the income received more than covers the day to day running costs. As at 31 January 2026 the charity held free reserves of £91,119 (2025 £128,855) which is somewhat less than 12 months of expenditure at normal levels. However, as noted above, subsequent to the year end the house which formed a significant part of the carrying value of the freehold property was sold, thus increasing the level of free reserves available to the charity.

Principal risks and uncertainties
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the charity are the same that many people and organisations currently face. Higher costs coupled with potentially lower income, as people re-evaluate what donations they can afford to give, will result in a squeeze on finances in the future.
Structure, governance and management
Governing document
Alexandra Bastedo (Champions) Animal Sanctuary Limited is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 21 January 2009 and registered as a charity on 27 January 2010. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association.

The day to day management of the affairs of the charity is undertaken by the trustees.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
Trustees are recruited on the basis of their commitment to the objectives of the charity and the skills that they are able to contribute. Given the nature of the charity’s activities no formal induction or training is considered to be required. The trustees are aware of their responsibilities and take advice from the Charity Commission and professional advisers as the need arises.

Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 31 January 2026
1 Statutory information
Alexandra Bastedo (Champions) Animal Sanctuary is a charitable company registered in England and Wales. Its company registration number is 06797855 and its charity registration number is 1133827. The charitable company is limited by guarantee. Its registered office is Farthings, Southlands Lane, West Chiltington, West Sussex, RH20 2JU.
2 Accounting policies
Basis of preparing the financial statements
These 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)’, the 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 historic cost convention.
Going concern
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees have assessed whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that cast significant doubt upon the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In making this assessment, the trustees take into account all available information about the future which is at least 12 months from the date that the financial statements are authorised for issue.
The trustees consider that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
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. Fundraising income and donations are included in the year in which they are received. Donations in the form of gifts in kind are recognised as incoming resources when distributed with an equivalent amount being included as resources expended. Gifts in kind are valued at an estimate of the market value the charity would have to pay for an equivalent item. In accordance with the SORP, no provision is made for the value of the contribution made by the volunteers, without whom the sanctuary could not operate. Grants are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources. Legacies receivable are included in the accounts when it is probable that they will be received and the amount that will be received can be estimated with reasonable accuracy. Receipt is considered to be probable if probate has been granted and the executors are satisfied that there are sufficient assets in the estate, after settling any liabilities, to pay the legacy.

Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated 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.

Freehold property consists of the land and buildings on which the sanctuary is situated and which was left to the charity by Mrs A Garland. The freehold property has been brought into the accounts at its probate valuation, and includes both land and a house which is let to a third party. The value attributed to the house is the estimated rebuild cost of a similar sized property as at its initial recognition, and this is being depreciated over 50 years. The land element, estimated at £550,000, is not being depreciated.
