Battersea dogs home begging in Sheffield

[Anna B 1,401]

Here are some struggling south yorks charities who don't pay their executives in the hundreds of thousands and who desperately need money for animals in south yorkshire.:

south yorkshire animal rescue domestic pets and wildlife - http://www.syar.org.uk

Rain rescue - domestic animals http://www.rainrescue.co.uk

Thornberry animal sanctuary: http://www.thornberryanimalsanctuary.org

Sheffield cat shelter: http://www.thesheffieldcatsshelter.org

sheffield dog rescue: https://www.sheffield-dog-rescue.org.uk

Rotherham dog rescue: http://rotherham-dog-rescue.co.uk

 

There are others too, just ask on the pets page for a list.

The combined income won't touch the millions that Battersea gets so PLEASE give local not to an emormously wealthy London charity.

 

Well said.

Duncan Green, CEO Battersea Dogs Home, earns £85,000 p.a.

 

A quick search shows that figure dates back to 2003.

 

According to the accounts published on the Charity Commission website, in 2016 one employee was paid between £130,000 and £140,000, and seven employees were paid between £60,000 and £90,000.

1. search on the charity vcomission website

look at the most recent accounts 2016

page 28 gives salary as: 140-150k highest paid

BUT also note same page it says the key personnel get an additional 800,000 in 'benefits' includes obligatory pension payments but still cranks up a salary by a considerable amount.

 

Charities have got wise to the shock total executive renumeration causes and so individuals total salary plus benefits does tend to be hidden in other categories. I am not an accountant but this is what it looks like to me.

Another point is although the income was £41 million they only spent £27 million......

Charity as a business.

If you look at it, less than 1/3rd got spent on looking after dogs (and cats?) their "profit" came close to the amount they spent on doing what they claim to do !

 

I always thought "leaving all my money to battersea dogs home" was a jokey threat to kids n grandkids but with assets of 75m and income of 41 looks like plenty follow through :-/
