Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts for the period ending 30th June 2025 were examined by an independent examiner who confirmed they balance and represent a full and proper record of the charity's affairs. The examiner noted a minor administrative concern regarding the retention of informal paper receipts from suppliers but found no other issues. The charity received a generous legacy during the period, which was retained for the benefit of the animals.
