Achievements and performance
Overview
The bubbles have burst however we continue to be challenged by the impact of Covid. Pre Covid the Centre was delivering an average of 51 lessons per week however pandemic infections and government legislation considerably reduced this. We are slowly returning to more normal activity but still looking at the number of lessons increasing by minutes. Work is progressing to contact participants and to map out their future engagement with us. The virus continues to circulate and the impact on our return to anything like normal activity is severely affected. The vulnerability of our participants and the supported volunteers is having a considerable impact on their confidence to return. Staff absences due to Covid continue and need to be managed within the existing staffing team, often with the support of Trustees stepping in. Our supported volunteer programme has resumed activity on site with volunteers being supported off site when necessary. Our aim is to increase the numbers of supported volunteers with a subsequent increase in support staff. We need to continue to make best use of our volunteers and to look at new ways to attract more, possibly younger, volunteers.
The Board of Trustees are very appreciative of the considerable amount of work undertaken by the Centre Manager and her team to ensure that the Centre continues to flourish and the equine team are well looked after. The welfare of our horses and ponies is paramount as they form the backbone of our service. Staff changes during the year have had an impact and new positions have been filled in line with a review of staffing positions. The Board of Trustees have also worked tirelessly to work with our staff team to ensure they are supported and have also they have taken a more active role in the delivery and management of many of our objectives during these challenging times. The Trustees' areas of expertise have been harnessed and used in a way that will ensure a new way of working for the future and benefit of the Centre. The financial impact has been very serious and a considerable body of work has been undertaken by every member of the Board of Trustees to mitigate the effect of the income loss. The emphasis has to be on an increased delivery of lessons, improving and increasing our independent volunteering programme and increasing and expanding our supported volunteering programme. The Centre staff and Trustees continue to implement a rolling review of all the Centre's policies in line with current legislation.
Staffing
Our yard team have worked tirelessly to look after our horses and continue the re-fittening programme to bring them back into work. Our HR company Avensure, continued to provide us with advice which was invaluable particularly in managing recruitment and staff changes. All our horses are cared for expertly by the Centre staff solely for our participants' benefit. The Trustees are particularly appreciative of the hard work and dedication shown by all staff and wish to thank everyone for their efforts. In November our Centre manager informed us that she had been offered a job with another Charity so work was undertaken to work with her and the rest of the staff team to enable the transition to be as seamless as possible. She had been with us since the Centre had opened so there was a certain amount of concern among some staff members, but they were well supported throughout by JR and JN. Consultations were carried out with staff and plans were made for the future alongside ensuring all the appropriate information and knowledge was picked up during handover. New contracts were issued to staff and the updated Staff Handbook was redistributed. It was decided to split the Centre Manager role into two part time posts. A part time Equine Operations Manager, who was appointed and began work in July. A part time Business and Development manager who was appointed however due to problems within the DBS service this post was never filled. The senior staff members were also appointed into new roles with the new Training and Events manager given the occupancy of the bungalow along with some caretaking duties.
Qualifications to deliver Training

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Directors' Report) (continued)
Year ended 31 August 2022
The Centre has again maintained a very high general standard of qualifications. Staff achieved various RDA and BHS qualifications and others maintained their qualifications. All staff continue to take part in a series of training sessions and CPD events including First Aid and Safeguarding.
Safeguarding
The Centre continued with safeguarding as part of the induction process for all volunteers and the rollout of three yearly disclosure renewals for volunteers. The Safeguarding and Prevent Duty policy and procedures are reviewed and updated regularly with all staff and Trustees completing Safeguarding training as required.
Diploma programme
The end of the Middlesbrough College contract was marked in September with the diploma reconciliation.
Volunteers
We recognise the importance of our team of volunteers and continue to appreciate their support. We try to organise a varied training programme to facilitate their development. All volunteers attending the Centre are given an induction in health and safety, safeguarding and practical training.
Supported Volunteers
Our Supported Volunteer Programme allows young disabled people to access volunteering under guidance from Support Workers, funded by the programme, and Trustees, and we really appreciate their support and enthusiasm. Our Trustees and staff continue to commit to and participate in the efficient running of the programme and the increased involvement of Trustees has been particularly appreciated and enjoyed by both participants and Trustees alike.
Premises
Our Middlesbrough Council Riding School Inspection was carried out on 11.4.2022 and we were approved once again for the next three years. The BHS inspection was arranged for 21.10.2022. The bungalow required some renovation work before the new member of staff moved in. This was completed by various contractors who were well supported by trustees and the manager and her partner. Thank you to everyone involved. A new arena surface was laid in August, a new outdoor classroom built and a new muck heap constructed in line with health and safety regulations.
Horses
Our Centre maintains a team of amazing horses and ponies. Their changing needs have been kept under close review. They represent the core capacity of our business, and their welfare is paramount. We continue to follow RDA and BHS guidance regarding the vaccination programmes. All disease precautions and biosecurity tightened in the event of any equine disease outbreak. We continue to source suitable equines and through the year have had a number of new horses/ponies on trial some of whom have been found suitable however some have not been suitable for the very demanding roles we place on them. It is a continuing challenge to source suitable horses/ponies and we are continually vigilant to hear about new possibilities. Stokesley vets informed us they were retiring from large animal practice. Hambleton Equine stepped in to help us and offered us a very generous charity package. They have continued to provide us with a very high level of care.

Participants (Riders)
Riders slowly returned as precautions lifted and tactile sessions were begun for those not yet ready for riding. Our waiting list was carefully monitored, and a lot of work was done to ensure the smooth transition of riders back into the saddle. Lesson prices were reviewed and increased in line with the rise in the Living Wage. Our riding horse simulator "Blackberry" was invaluable in assessing riders before returning to lessons or offering lessons to riders who cannot ride on our horses for whatever reason. BD dressage, Quest and unaffiliated dressage resumed. Pony club membership was paused with the plan to resurrect this in the next two years.
Tea with a Pony
These monthly sessions continued. They are incredibly rewarding to all involved and demonstrate the beneficial effect of Equine Therapy. Delicious tea and cake help too!
Fundraising
The Centre charges fees for its services delivering lessons to our participants but these are kept as low as possible to reflect the charitable nature of the Centre's work. This however is not sufficient to maintain the business completely and we rely upon the generosity of individuals and grant making bodies to allow us to continue in the efficient running of the Centre and the pursuit of particular projects. Government and RDA support grants and other successful grant applications have all supported core costs. Cash donations continued, along with offers of equine equipment, horse sponsorship and PPE equipment and supplies. A wide range of online fundraising campaigns and events organised by our supporters. Some of these were helpfully match-funded by Barclays. The Christmas fair and raffle were particularly successful and enjoyed by all. "Meet the Artist" event in Worsall was well supported and raised more much needed funding. Our annual dog show was resumed in September. This was a fun event with our canine friends now taking priority over the equines. Again, adding much needed funding. Thank you to everyone who in some way organised, attended or supported our Centre.
Board
The Trustees continue to work tirelessly to support the Centre and my thanks go to them all for their efforts and support.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Directors' Report) (continued)
Year ended 31 August 2022
Financial review
The impact of the Covid pandemic is very serious and will be ongoing. It has facilitated reflection on the Centre's business model and its shortcomings with the clear and inevitable outcome that the Centre will require a considerable period of time to become financially stable and viable. New innovative approaches will be needed as well as a positive business case for all future proposals.
The charity's incoming resources consisted mainly of income from charitable activities, which shows a decrease compared to the previous 12 month period.
The Endowment Fund (Facility Construction Fund 1998) deficit reflects the high incidence of depreciation and amortisation charged in respect of endowment fund assets.
The balance sheet shows aggregate reserves of £798,714 with £596,246 of the reserves being held in the endowment funds, notably the substantial investment in the leasehold premises of the charity. The Unrestricted fund shows a loss for the year of £36,138.
The unrestricted/general fund has reserves of £164,628 at 31 August 2022.
The Restricted funds shows a profit of £4,816.
Small company provisions

Year ended 31 August 2022
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The R.D.A. Centre In Cleveland Limited ('the charity') for the year ended 31 August 2022.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).

-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements 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
-
the financial statements 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).

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
| Long leasehold property | - | Straight line over 50 years |
|---|---|---|
| Fixtures and fittings | - | 25% reducing balance |
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Impairment of fixed assets (continued)
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
Stocks
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
4. Limited by guarantee
The R.D.A. Centre In Cleveland Limited is a company limited by guarantee and accordingly does not have a share capital.
Every member of the company undertakes to contribute such amount as may be required not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charitable company in the event of its being wound up while he or she is a member, or within one year after he or she ceases to be a member.
