The trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purpose of the Companies Act) present their annual report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020, The trustees confirm that the financial statements of the company 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 UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
a. ACTIVITIES FOR ACHIEVING OBJECTIVES
The charitable purposes of Barrow Farm Riding for the Disabled (also known as Barrow Farm RDA) are to promote the objects of the Riding for the Disabled Association by providing disabled people with the means to ride or carriage drive at the level of their ability, choice and ambition. We also encourage disabled people to occupy positions of responsibility within the charity.
The principal activities undertaken to deliver these purposes are:
-
e Providing people with both learning and physical disabilities, the opportunity to ride and carriage drive through weekly riding and driving sessions. Research shows that these activities not only improve physical well-being, but also develop self-confidence and provide participants a level of independence.
-
e Providing support and coaching to participants who wish to pursue RDA grade tests, show jumping assessments, or to compete in riding competitions.
-
® Providing social and fundraising events that bring together the wider Barrow Farm RDA community of riders, staff, volunteers and supporters.
-
¢ Providing work experience opportunities for disabled people as both volunteers and trustees for the charity.
The trustees have taken due regard to the public benefit provisions of the 2011 Charities Act and the guidelines issued by the Charities Commission and consider that through the delivery of these activities and the impact they have on the wider community, the charity continues to provide a public benefit.
b. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
i, REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES
The charity's activities in 2020 were severely disrupted by the Covid 19 pandemic in the UK and the restrictions it imposed. The weekly riding and driving sessions which normally accommodate up to 140 participants, had to stop from 18th March due to the national lockdown restrictions introduced. We adapted our procedures to be COVID compliant, and received approval from RDA to re-open on 4th July. This was on a much reduced scale due to the social distancing required although we managed to gradually grow the number that could return to around 40 by the end of the year, after a second national lockdown in November.
The charity has been successful in obtaining the financial support available through the pandemic via the Government's Job Retention Scheme, a local authority Business Support Grant, and other pandemic related grants from Sport England and The National Lottery. In addition, we are very grateful to the individuals and organisations who donated money and ride fees during the year that helped cover our on-going costs.

Barrow Farm Riding for the Disabled Limited Report of the Trustees For the year to 31 December 2020
Notwithstanding the pandemic, our riders completed 1 riding and 5 horse care RDA tests at grade 1, 2 horse care tests at grade 3 and 1 at grade 4. 2 riders successfully completed level 1 show jumping and 2 drivers also successfully completed grade 1 carriage driving theory. We also had one rider complete the Bronze Award riding theory. Unfortunately owing to the pandemic, the RDA Regional and National competitions had to be cancelled this year as did our annual Open Day and pony days. In 2021, the RDA Regional and National competitions will be held online.
The Jack Petchey Award Scheme, recognising the achievements of riders and volunteers, remains popular. Young riders and volunteers who have demonstrated considerable improvement in either riding, volunteering skills or behaviour are nominated and then the winner voted for by their peers. The money awarded has allowed us to buy items chosen by the winners.
The charity has continued to provide a valuable public benefit to the wider community, albeit this has been more restricted this year. We enjoy excellent links with Writtle University College, and we also provide work-based learning placements for local school students. In their time at Barrow Farm RDA, they learn all aspects of horse care and gain valuable experience helping with the rides and interacting with people with varying disabilities. They learn teamwork and communication skills and we gain satisfaction from seeing them develop. Young people also volunteer as part of their Duke of Edinburgh Award programme.
Through our fundraising activity, we educate and inform members of the local community and societies about the benefits of Riding for the Disabled and riding as a sport in general. We have not held any fundraising events this year with planned events being cancelled due to the pandemic, but we will recommence these once we are able to do so safely. We did though give several talks via zoom to Rotary and other Clubs which resulted in a number of donations and monies raised from virtual events including a Fun Run, a Fun Walk and a Quiz Night. We also did a socially distanced Santa’s Sleigh collection supported by the Lions Club,
Our premises continue to provide a useful venue for local clubs, including archery and dog agility, although use was restricted this year.
In 2017, the trustees agreed an Action Plan of the strategic priorities for developing the charity over the four years to 2020. The final priority to improve the storage areas was completed in 2020 with the addition of a carriage store. We also improved the outdoor arena facilities by constructing a mounting block for the riders and a viewing area for spectators thanks to a grant from the Sir Peter O’Sullevan Charitable Trust, We also extended the woodland path to provide an improved off-road riding and driving experience, with funding from the National Lottery and the Countryside Land Association Charitable Trust.
During the first national lockdown, we took the opportunity to carry out a survey with our volunteers. Some people volunteer for an hour or so every week whilst others including trustees work many days a week. Feedback received included the following comments;
¢ | have given 10 for my experience as a volunteer at Barrow Farm. | can turn up at Barrow Farm feeling down, or | have had a bad week at work and know | will walk away with a smile on myface. | find it very therapeutic. It is very rewarding helping people and | get my horse fix too. What more could | ask for.
- Barrow Farm is completely focused on the quality of the experience of the riders. They offer high quality riding experiences, led by dedicated and well qualified staff, and a team of dedicated volunteers.
Following the first lockdown many of our riders were unable to return to riding because of social distancing rules. We decided to introduce some non-riding activities so they could, see and touch a pony. Some riders and drivers visited for just one session, one boy just wanted to know all the ponies were still there! Others came for several sessions and worked towards RDA National grade tests, Here are some comments from their experience;

be with the horses that she had missed so much. It was an emotional moment. Since the sessions began she is much happier and talks about being at Barrow Farm all the time. It provides her with a wonderful piece of normalityfrom her world before the pandemic.
¢ Being back today, just to groom and to stroke the horse or pony again it’s made me feel calm and makes me fee! home from home, because | have been horse riding there for many years. It felt safe today and it ‘s made me feel great to pat a horse or pony again. Barrow Farm is a massive part of my life.
ii, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
We thank Andrea Jessop who, after 5 years in post, stepped down as a Trustee at this year's AGM. David Nisbett joined us as a new trustee, bringing a range of skills to the role.
We thank Kath Hatwell, who retired in the year, after 10 years as a Coach. She continues to support Riding for the Disabled through her work at County level.
Sadly, Mary Mitchell the co-founder of Barrow Farm Riding for the Disabled, passed away this year after a short illness. She was for many years the driving force in expanding the charity and even in her later years remained a keen supporter.
We are especially grateful for the grants and donations received in this most challenging of years. We also appreciate the contribution of many individuals and groups who have raised money for us in many different ways.
We are indebted to our 100 volunteers who give their time and commitment on a regular basis and new volunteers are always welcome. We also appreciate the volunteer days provided by companies, and whilst many have needed to be cancelled this year, Valero Energy provided a small team to help with hedge trimming and path clearing in September.
A big thank you to our team of staff for all their dedication and hard work in all weather conditions. We appreciate their knowledge and experience used in providing safe, well-trained ponies and horses for our riders and carriage drivers,
Finally a huge thank you to our wonderful team of ponies and horses.
c. INVESTMENT POLICY AND PERFORMANCE
The charity holds funds in low risk instant access bank accounts.
d. FINANCIAL REVIEW
i, GOING CONCERN
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting policies.

Barrow Farm Riding for the Disabled Limited Report of the Trustees For the year to 31 December 2020
ii. RESERVES POLICY
The trustees aim to hold sufficient funds to meet 6 months running costs as reserves. This is to provide sufficient working capital to meet day to day needs, with reserves held in the charity's current accounts and an interest bearing account. The trustees consider that the level of reserves available at 31 December 2020, are sufficient to cover the running costs of the charity for more than 6 months and will cover any immediate funding shortfalls arising from the pandemic restrictions or the irregular income received from grants and donations.
iii, REVIEW OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
income
Total income for 2020 was £230,245 which was a significant increase on 2019 when £176,184 was receivable. This increase was primarily due to the amount of donations and grants received in 2020 compared to 2019, The charity was successful in obtaining £43,429 of Covid 19 pandemic related business support grants during the year, plus other donations included excess ride fees of £11,054 donated by participants. The charity also received £45,925 as the first annual instalment from the National Lottery for three year grants to support the cost of providing riding and driving lessons for autistic participants, and to fund an administrator for the charity.
Due to the pandemic, income from riding and carriage driving was significantly down at £19,046 in 2020 compared to £60,119 in 2019. Likewise, income from other trading activities was also down. With no events held in 2020, fundraising income after expenses was £2,504 in 2020, compared to £11,815 in 2019, while premises hire was £2,299 compared to £6,702 the previous year.
Other income of £1,088 in 2020, related to a profit over net book value on the sale of a horse {Dusty). The proceeds were used to buy a replacement (Summer).
Expenditure
Expenditure on charitable activities increased to £189,862 in 2020, compared to £173,115 in 2019. The increase was mainly in Payroll costs going from £82,450 in 2019, to £96,546 in 2020. This was due to the annual salary increase in April, a redundancy in June and the addition of an administrator from September. Other expenditure in 2020 was broadly similar to 2019, although depreciation increased to £28,770 in 2020 from £26,880 in 2019, reflecting the additional £43,429 of expenditure on fixed assets made during the year.
Surplusand reserves
Asurplus of £39,843 resulted for the year compared to a deficit of £261 in 2019. This was significantly better than had been expected by the trustees earlier in the year, given the impact the covid 19 pandemic restrictions had on riding and driving activity.
Total reserves at the end of 2020 were £355,454 compared to £315,611 for 2019. Of these, £204,547 are restricted funds that are represented by fixed assets and cash at bank. The cash reserves increased from £129,111 at the beginning of the year to £176,216 at the end of 2020, of which £54,532 is restricted. This exceeds the reserving policy target set by the trustees to hold six months operating expenses, and puts the charity in a strong position financially to withstand further operating restrictions expected from the pandemic during 2021,
