RUGBY ANIMAL TRUST

The principal activity of the charity was to rescue and provide shelter for stray, neglected, injured, unwanted and abandoned animals and find suitable homes, to make provision for the spaying or neutering of animals, and to advance the education of the public in animal ownership and care.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There have been multiple defaults for filing returns
  • This charity only provides its support via other charities
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 2 trustees
  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
