ROYAL SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS BRISTOL AND DISTRICT BRANCH 

We are committed to preventing cruelty and promoting kindness to animals. We aim to reduce animal suffering and increase animal well-being through our activities. We do this via our veterinary services in a dedicated veterinary clinic, through re-homing and re-uniting owners of lost animals in our animal home (Bristol Animal Rescue Centre) and through Branch awareness activities.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants and contracts
  • This charity has a robust balance sheet
  • This charity has received more than half of its income from legacies in recent years
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • This charity has substantial assets and unrestricted reserves of £5,394,564 available, equivalent to 40 months of spending and so may not be able to utilise additional funding
  • On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
