## Activities and objectives in the year. 

We are a UK charity dedicated to improving the lives of children and adults with both developmental and physical disabilities in the North East of England. 

Our horses and ponies provide therapy, achievement, and enjoyment. Riders experience 1000 beneficial movements every 10 minutes. Half an hour on a pony has huge benefits physically and mentally as well as being a great confidence booster – 90% of riders improve their confidence and self-esteem. 

We provide life-changing experiences for disabled children and adults. Enriching the lives of disabled people with activities and interactions, helping develop skills, fitness, and opportunities for achievement. 

## Achievements and performance, including reporting on its public beneft. 

- We currently offer up to 20 sessions a week – a session can accommodate up to 6 riders.  Schools usually work on a half term rotation, which means that every 6 or 7 weeks they will bring a new group of riders.   On average we have approximately 100 riders a week attending the Centre. 

- The following schools and adult support centres attend every week. **Collingwood School and Media Arts College** , Stobhillgate, Morpeth, Northumberland, NE61 2HA 

   - **Northumberland Pupil Referral Unit** , Pitt Lane, Front Street, Seghill, Northumberland, NE23 7EB 



**Parkside House School** , Station Road, Backworth, Tyne & Wear, NE27 0AB

**Thomas Bewick School** , Linhope Road, West Denton, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE5 2LW

- Event Success – (Measurable Benefits?) Horse riding is a partnership with an animal, which also has to be respected and cared for.  This partnership benefits all riders but particularly children and young people with communication and learning difficulties:  RDA have developed a professional tracker tool which measures progress in six categories.  The RDA tracker report shows: 74% improvement in physical ability 

   - 77% experienced greater confidence 

   - 75% improvement in enjoyment 

   - 65% greater willingness and ability to communicate 

   - 72% improvement in relationship building skills 

   - 78% improvement in horsemanship 

For the children in the special schools we work with this improvement translates into an improvement in their ability to learn and develop in all areas of the schooling. 

## Financial review including any debts and details of your reserves policy (if applicable). 

- Morpeth RDA has no debts. 

- Reserves policy is to have a minimum 12 months funding in place at the end of every financial year. 

- Our cash reserves (brought forward) from March 2022 was £21,415. This included £9564 of restricted / dedicated funds. 

- Income for 2022 – 2023 was £40 745 

- Expenditure for 2022 – 2023 was  £22 398 

- Notes. We increased our funding to enable the purchase of additional horses, given the age and condition of the current animals. Also, welfare (Vets fees and farrier costs) have increased in the last 18 months which will raise our required reserves levels as we move through the 2023 – 2024 financial year. 

## Funds held as a custodian trustee 

- No funds held as a custodian trustee.
