## **Leybourne Grange Riding Centre for the Disabled** 

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 September 2025** 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The objects for which the company was established, as set out in its Memorandum of Association, are to provide, maintain, promote and encourage horse riding and other activities for the mentally or physically disabled and the socially handicapped. 

The company is a charity and exists to provide, in the interests of social welfare, therapeutic and recreational facilities for persons having need thereof by reason of their mental or physical disability or their social and economic circumstances, with the object of improving the quality of life for such persons. 

## **Volunteers** 

The trustees are extremely indebted to the numerous volunteers who assist the Centre to achieve its objectives in providing a much needed service for its disabled clients. The ever increasing waiting list for vacancies says much for their performance and the care they provide to the disabled riders. 

## **Public benefit** 

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. 

The Trustees have referred to the guidance in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on Public Benefit when reviewing aims and objectives and in planning future activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

The charity continues to provide subsidised riding facilities to the disabled. 

## **Fundraising activities** 

The fundraising activities of the charity are primarily the provision of riding lessons, stabling facilities and catering. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Principal funding sources** 

Major source of funding for this charity is the donations it receives from Leybourne Grange Riding & Tuition Limited, totalling £17,897 (2024:£21,064) and donations for the use of the Charity's equipment totalling £68,414 (2024: £56,832) for the year to 30th September 2025. Other small donations are received throughout the year from the general public. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charitable company has a reserve fund which has been set aside as a contingency fund. Its primary purpose is for the possible purchase of the land which is currently leased, but which will be sold as part of a development programme. This would ensure the continuance of the Centre and the service it provides. The amount of the fund is increased as and when the Centre receives donations which are not required for day to day running costs. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its Memorandum and Articles of Association and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

In the event of the current trustees resigning, the remaining trustees would look to one or more of the adult volunteers at the Centre who have shown interest and commitment over several years. 

## **Related parties** 

All the directors of the company are also trustees of the charity, and their responsibilities include all the responsibilities of directors under the Companies Acts and of trustees under the Charities Act. The directors are members of the company.

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

|Short leasehold|-   10% on cost and 5% on cost|
