“The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “I mentioned in last year's report that the Charity were purchasing a property in Victoria Street pedestrian area of Paignton to add to our retail portfolio. After a protracted conveyancing process, we eventually exchanged and completed the purchase in mid-February 2025. ... The work was eventually completed in April 2026. The shop fit is planned for Q2 2026 and with recruitment of staff and volunteers to follow, we are aiming to open the shop in the second half of 2026.”
- “During the reporting period, the charity has continued to progress long-term plans to improve its kennel facilities. Originally, the development of a completely new kennel block was explored; however, significantly increased construction and operating costs have made this option unfeasible at present. In response, the charity has redirected its focus toward a phased refurbishment and reconfiguration of the existing kennel buildings.”
