Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
This year was different to other years as we were limited in the activities we were able to provide due to lockdowns and restrictions caused by the Coronavirus pandemic.
Our focus this year included sustainability of our activities during lockdowns. We created interactive online educational horsemanship activities which anyone could access and participate in from home. We provided live learning sessions through social media and offered our participants the opportunity to continue to see and interact with our team and animals from home.
Where we were able to open we adapted activities to operate in the safest way possible and continued to provide funded individual and socially distanced small group equine facilitated learning opportunities in an outdoor environment. Our team adapted to the challenges of working during the pandemic, and selflessly continued to care for the animals and offer therapeutic and learning activities for participants.
We were able to secure funding to improve our outdoor facilities, so when we were able to re-open we could continue to provide therapeutic horsemanship activities with a focus on operating more safely in an outdoor environment.
