TRUSTEES’ REPORT
For the year ended 31 March 2023
The Trustees (who are also Directors under the Companies Act) present their Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023. The Financial Statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and 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 from 1 January 2019.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Riding for the Disabled (Woodbridge & District Group) (the 'Charity') is a company limited by guarantee, governed by its Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association dated 7 November 2007.
Administration of Charity
The Charity is administered by the Trustees, who meet regularly to make all managerial decisions.
Key Management Personnel Remuneration
The Trustees consider the board of Trustees as comprising the key management personnel of the charity, who are in charge of directing and controlling the charity and running and operating the charity on a day to day basis.
All Trustees give their time freely and no trustee remuneration was paid during the year.
Recruitment, Appointment and Training of Directors
The Trustees keep under review the composition of the Board, identifying the need for recruitment processes to take place. Trustees are identified by "word of mouth" and knowledge of the Charity. The Trustees will review any potential candidate to ensure they compliment the Charity.
Details of potential candidates are discussed at board meetings prior to inviting any potential new member to join. Newly nominated Trustees are briefed by the existing Trustees and receive background information, annual accounts and minutes of recent meetings upon appointment.
Risk Assessment
The Trustees review the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and ensure that systems are in place to mitigate any risks identified.
OBJECTIVES, ACITIVITES, ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Objectives
The main objective of the Charity is to provide therapeutic riding and carriage driving activities for adults and children with learning and/or physical disabilities to benefit their health and well-being. The Trustees have striven to provide a centre which is fit for purpose, and thank the Chamberlain family for the provision of land at The Bays, Monewden Road, Clopton, together with a long term lease (See Note 15 of the accounts for further details).
The Charity achieves these aims by;
Providing remedial and therapeutic sessions on a daily basis for disabled adults and children from the Ipswich and East Suffolk areas;
Employed and volunteer instructors working closely with health and education professionals to help clients gain the maximum benefit from activities.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) For the year ended 31 March 2023
Public Benefit
The Board of Trustees are aware of their duties to ensure activities of the Charity are carried out in the furtherance of its objectives. All the activities are given careful consideration by the Trustees against the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
Achievements and Performance
As we are now coming out the other side of the global Coronavirus pandemic, the Charity has been more readily able to hold fundraising events. This increase to income has been offset by a decrease in funds received from Anglian Lotteries in the year (Note 2, Page 11).
Further to the increased ability to raise funds through fundraising and events, the Charity has seen a large increase in its income from donations and legacies, most notably seeing an increase in grant funding from £90,200 in 2022 to £114,011 in 2023. This grant funding included £80,000 of match funding during the period from charitable
foundations.
Due to the lack of available assistance from volunteers, a decision was made to employ a number of permanent members of staff during the year to assist with the care of the horses, and the staff levels are currently at 6. This has resulted in an increase in staff costs from £42,110 in 2022 to £72,539 in 2023 (Note 5, Page 12).
The Trustees are pleased with the Charity’s achievements over the past 12 months and the recovery seen following the pandemic. The net movement in funds has continued to be positive, though slightly lower this year, decreasing from £36,304 in 2022 to £29,251 in 2023 (Page 7), however when the increase to staff costs as mentioned above is taken into consideration, the position is still very encouraging. The Trustees wish to thank the many people who continue to help and support the Charity both financially and with the time that they give.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Incoming resources of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023 were £190,410 (2022: £145,723) (Page 7). The net incoming resources of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023 were £35,012 (2022: £35,440) (Page 7).
As mentioned above, the increase in incoming resources is largely due to an increase in grants awarded during the year, though this is offset by the increased expenditure on charitable activites, overall giving a comparable result to that of the previous year.
Investment Policy
The Trustees have the power to invest surplus cash as they see fit for the day to day use of the Charity. The Trustees have decided to hold some reserve balances with its appointed bankers in a combination of current and short term deposit accounts. The remainder of its reserves are held in an investment portfolio managed by third party investment managers; Pearson Wealth Management Ltd. The charity takes account of social, environmental and ethical considerations in selecting its investment policy. This policy will be reviewed as and when market conditions or business requirements change.
During the year the portfolio represented a return of £1,506 (2022: £1,583) (Page 7). The market value of the portfolio at the balance sheet date was £69,813 (2022: £76,166) (Note 7, Page 13).

_ RIDING FOR THE DISABLED (WOODBRIDGE & DISTRICT GROUP) TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) For the year ended 31 March 2023
Reserves Policy
The purpose of this policy is to clearly set out the Riding for the Disabled (Woodbridge & District Group) expectations about safeguarding against any unusual or unforeseen decline in client sessions or charitable donations which might result in the closure of the centre.
To avoid closure if funding difficulties were to occur, includes (but not limited to) adverse weather conditions, equine flu or fire, the Riding for the Disabled (Woodbridge & District Group) Board of Trustees have agreed to keep a certain level of financial reserves to ensure that the main operations of the group can continue for a minimum of one year.
The main concerns of the Board are to ensure:
-
that volunteers and staff can continue to provide activities for clients if feasible;
-
that volunteers and staff can continue to ensure horse welfare and client participation as soon as the problem is concluded;
-
that volunteers and staff are supported in the pursuit of grant funding and general fundraising;
-
that in the event of closure the Group can meet any obligations to staff and landlords.
We have security of tenure with a 12 year Lease which commenced on the 1 January 2018 but there remain ongoing costs relating to the further development of the group's new premises.
The current funding is secured on a monthly basis, but if difficulties were to arise it has been calculated that reserves of £145,800 would be needed to continue the operational costs for a period of one year. The calculations, based on actual costs incurred or negotiated during our previous year of occupation, are included as an appendix to this policy.
These reserves have been built up in part from legacy income. This legacy, bequeathed by Mr John Coles, was ring fenced to fund the continuation of this specific Riding for the Disabled Group and to that end have been held for said purpose.
The level of reserves should be calculated and monitored every four months by the Woodbridge & District Group Director/Trustees.
This policy is reviewed annually or whenever there are significant or unusual changes in activities and donations.
Future Developments
The Trustees will ensure that the Charity will continue to meet its charitable objectives for the foreseeable future, ensuring that a wide range of beneficiaries will continue to benefit from its activities.
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The Charity Trustees (who are also the directors of Riding for the Disabled (Woodbridge & District Group) for company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' annual report and financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

_ RIDING FOR THE DISABLED (WOODBRIDGE & DISTRICT GROUP) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 31 March 2023
1) Accounting policies
Riding for the Disabled (Woodbridge & District Group) (company number: 1127627) is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in the United Kingdom. The charity's registered office is Cedarwood, Hollesley Road, Alderton, Woodbridge, Suffolk, P12 3BB.
These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards and under the historical cost convention. The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: 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) effective from 1 January 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The Trustees have reached this conclusion based on the Charity's Reserves Policy, which demonstrates that the Charity has sufficient reserves to continue its operational costs for the period of one year from the date the accounts are approved.
Incoming resources
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, there is sufficient certainty of receipt and so it is probable the income will be received, and the amount of income can be measured reliably.
Voluntary Income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.
Incoming resources from Charitable Activities are accounted for when earned.
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, and conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time is not recognised and refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
Resources expended
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis.
Expenditure relating to restricted and unrestricted activities have been apportioned between the two on an activities basis according to income.
Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is charge against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.
