**NEWHAM RIDING SCHOOL & ASSOCIATION LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee)**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the company for the 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), 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 2015) as amended by Update Bulletin 1 (effective 1 January 2015).
Since the company qualifies as small under section 383, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under The Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Director's Report) Regulations 2013 is not required
## **Objectives and Activities**
## **a. POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES**
The principal objectives of the Charity are to provide:
1) Therapeutic and recreational horse riding for disabled people, either free of charge or at affordable fee rates, as appropriate.
2) Recreational and sporting horse riding and stable management experience and training for local children, free of charge or at affordable fee rates, as appropriate.
3) Training to local young adults leading to professional qualifications as riding instructors and stable managers.
## **b. STRATEGIES AND ACTIVITIES FOR ACHIEVING OBJECTIVES**
The Charity has devised various ways of attracting and facilitating target groups in participating in riding and equine care. All groups are important in the ecology of the Charity: private one-on-one lessons for able-bodied riders provide surplus income which subsidises rides for the less well off and disabled, for example. The staff have an innovative approach and new ideas are tried and if successful, added to the repertoire.
## **c. VOLUNTEERS**
The Charity continues to benefit from the support of approximately 25 volunteers, who provide over the year approximately 20,000 hours of work in various capacities. It is estimated that a monetary value of £75,000 might be placed on the volunteers’ labour. Although the volunteers offer their services free of charge, they are all rewarded with points which they can exchange for free riding lessons.

**TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**
## **Achievements and performance**
## **a. REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES**
## **The history of the Charity can be summarised as follows;**
The Charity was founded 49 years ago in Silvertown by a group of local residents, the principal among whom was the late Linda Greaves MBE. Having operated for the first twenty-four years from the arches of a (now demolished) flyover, NRSA relocated in 1996 to a purpose- built equestrian centre at the apex of the Beckton Triangle. This move was enabled by the London Docklands Development Corporation, which granted the Charity a 200-year lease on the site and provided over £1 million towards the cost of construction. The LDDC also gave the Charity leases on two livery yards, which it had constructed to house horses which had previously grazed on the abandoned Royal Docks. Two events then dominated the early years of the 21st Century.
Although the new Docklands Equestrian Centre (DEC) was a splendid facility, it lacked any ancillary amenities: e.g. parking, toilets, an office, canteen, meeting room. The Trustees immediately set about raising funds to complete the project with the provision of these amenities, without which the DEC could never thrive. Having raised (or so they thought) sufficient funds (£1.3 million) to complete the project, they let a design/build contract for the works. After the contract had been let, new requirements were introduced. These included redesigning the lecture hall/canteen dining area so that there were no pillars, and installing a passenger lift from the ground floor to the board-room and caretaker’s flat on the first floor. A knock-on effect of this latter requirement was that a new underground power cable had to be laid from the public supply, hundreds of metres distant. The Trustees decided to press on and raise the shortfall via a mortgage. All further fundraising proved unsuccessful. After the financial crisis of 2008/09, the mortgagee squeezed the Charity hard, doubling the rate of interest and requiring monthly financial reports. The Charity only survived with the help of loans from the Trustees and from the freeholder (The Royal Docks Trust - RDT). A small plot of land was sold on a 125-year lease for the erection of an advertising tower and this enabled the repayment of half of the mortgage.
The second event was the occupation of the livery yard at Stansfeld Rd by a criminal clique. Revenue from the livery stables ceased and it took several years and an outlay of about £100,000 to regain possession. Having obtained possession and planning permission for residential development and acting jointly with the freeholder (RDT), in 2018 NRSA sold the Stansfeld Rd site to a developer for £1.8 million. With their share of the net proceeds, the Charity redeemed the mortgage, repaid the loans which had kept it in being over the previous ten years, carried out repairs and maintenance which had accumulated over that period, established a sufficient supply of working capital and placed £300,000 in a COIF accumulation investment fund.
After 40 years of a touch and go existence, the Charity was now well equipped and financially secure into the long term.
## **Activities in 2020-2021 include;**
As a consequence of the Covid19 pandemic, the school was fully closed for 27 weeks of the year and open on a very restricted basis for a further six weeks. Some activities ceased during the whole of the year, the most significant of which were the RDA school groups.
Ride numbers in 2020/21 were as follows:
|2020-2021||2019-2020||
|---|---|---|---|
|Disabled|20|Disabled|2055|
|Children|990|Children|2640|
|Adults|158|Adults|299|
|Starters|680|Starters|2282|
|Private|945|Private|1752|

**NEWHAM RIDING SCHOOL & ASSOCIATION LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee)**
**TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**
As a consequence of the restrictions revenue from riding activities ceased altogether for long periods and was reduced at other times. But expenses hardly changed: the horses still had to fed and looked after. A combination of the Government’s furlough scheme and generous sponsorship from clients: in one exceptional case amounting to over £10,000 and in another over £2,000, the Charity has been able to keep going. As a precaution, the Charity availed itself of a £50,000 Government guaranteed loan, which it has retained intact.
The school started the year with 4 Apprentices and concluded with 5. Training continued wherever possible, but the British Horse Society cancelled all examinations and assessments. Btech (formerly NVQ) examinations continued, however, and two working pupils achieved level 3 qualifications.
## **b. OPPORTUNITIES AND CONSTRAINTS**
The Trustees have taken the opportunity to put the DEC into an excellent state of repair and they will continue to look for improvements to the facilities. One such improvement would be the acquisition of neighbouring waste land to be converted into a turn-out for the horses. Trustees are exploring the possibility with the land-owner, but have so far been unable to make progress.
## **c. PUBLIC BENEFIT**
The Trustees have complied with the duty in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
The Charity, in providing horse riding experiences for disabled people and local children in the London Borough of Newham (one of the most severely disadvantaged areas of the country) in superb facilities on a not-for-profit basis, for a nominal fee or free of charge (depending on the circumstances), is acting wholly to the public benefit. Some private lessons are given at commercial rates, but the income from them is devoted towards subsidising rides for disabled or less well-off riders. Local children who act as volunteers in stable duties and equine care enjoy facilities which are unique in the East End and are rewarded with free instruction. Working pupils from the locality gain qualifications in stable management and as riding instructors which enable them to pursue careers for which there are no other opportunities in East London.

**TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**
## **Financial review**
## **a. RESERVES POLICY**
The Trustees have reviewed the policy on reserves to reflect the current financial situation. The reserves have been deposited in a COIF accumulation investment fund as a long-term investment to provide financial security in the event of an unforeseen setback, and funds for future development should the opportunity arise. A resolution of the Board of Trustees must be passed before any withdrawal can be made from the funds. No such resolution has been made and none is planned. The Trustees are satisfied with CCLA’s stewardship of their investment funds.
## **b. PRINCIPAL FUNDING**
The main source of funding is that generated from the fees for horse riding sessions, as shown under the review of activities shown above.
## **Structure, governance and management**
## **a. CONSTITUTION**
The company is constituted under a trust deed and is a registered charity, number 1043753. The Company Registration Number is 02788502.
Membership of the Board of Trustees was stable during the period in which the long-term viability of the Charity was in doubt. Once the Charity was restored to health, some of the very long serving Trustees retired and new Trustees have been appointed. This process of renewal will continue.
The company is constituted under a Memorandum of Association and is a registered charity number 1043753.
## **b. ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND DECISION MAKING**
The Charity is organised as a company limited by guarantee.
The Board of Trustees administers the Charity with the assistance of a manager. The board meet quarterly and there have been discussions among the Trustees conducted by e-mail and meetings involving smaller groups of the Trustees to discuss specific issues.
## **c. RELATED PARTY RELATIONSHIPS**
The Trustees have considered the risk of related party relationships and confirm that there are no material related parties other than those disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

**TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**
## **d. RISK MANAGEMENT**
The Trustees have reviewed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charity and are satisfied that systems are in place to minimise and mitigate them.
## **Plans for future periods**
## **a. FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS**
The Trustees will seek to adapt the operations of the Charity to meet the evolving demographic of Newham. They will seek to increase the involvement of local people with the Charity.

## **TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**
The Trustees (who are also directors of Newham Riding School and Association Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP;
- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## **RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT**
As the Trustees of the company (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the company's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT**
I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].

**BALANCE SHEET (continued) AS AT 31 MARCH 2021**
The company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.
The Trustees consider that the company is entitled to exemption from the requirement to have an audit under the provisions of section 477 of the Companies Act 2006 ("the Act") and members have not required the company to obtain an audit for the year in question in accordance with section 476 of the Act.
The Trustees acknowledge their responsibilities for complying with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 with respect to accounting records and the preparation of financial statements.
22-11-21 The financial statements were approved and authorised for issue by the Trustees on and signed on their behalf, by:

**NEWHAM RIDING SCHOOL & ASSOCIATION LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee)**
**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Newham Riding School & Association Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
## **1.2 Company status**
The company is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company.
## **1.3 Fund accounting**
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
## **1.4 Income**
All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the company is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the company has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the company, or the company is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)**
## **1.5 Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the company and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the company's educational operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the company apportioned to charitable activities.
## **1.6 Reconciliation with previous Generally Accepted Accounting Practice**
In preparing these accounts, the Trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 the restatement of comparative items was required.
No restatements were required.
## **1.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**
A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of financial activities.
Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
- Leasehold property 2% straight line - Plant & machinery 10% and 25% straight line
## **1.8 Stocks**
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
## **1.9 Pensions**
The company contributes to a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the fund in respect of the year.

**NEWHAM RIDING SCHOOL & ASSOCIATION LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee)**
**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)**
## **1.10 Going Concern**
The company has faced significant cashflow difficulties in prior years and has been unable to meet interest payments as they arise. With the continued support of the Trustees, together with the sale of Stansfeld Road, the charity are confident that they can meet future obligations. The Trustees are satisfied that they can continue to provide such support to the organisation over the next twelve months and are confident that the organisation can generate sufficient income to meet its obligations. As such, the organisation is considered to be a going concern and the accounts have been prepared on this basis.
## **1.11 Interest receivable**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
## **1.12 Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **1.13 Cash at Bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## **1.14 Liabilities and provisions**
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.
## **1.15 Financial instruments**
The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

## **Valuation**
The investment shown is in respect of the entire share capital of Docklands Stable Management Limited. Given that the subsidiary remits it's entire profits each year to Newham Riding School Association in pursuit of it's charitable objectives, there are no retained earnings in the company. As such, the Trustees believe that the company's fair value has not materially changed from the initial consideration paid for the ordinary shares. Therefore, the investment value is carried at cost.
