## **Committee’s Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 (cont’d)**
## **Achievements and Performance**
The main and continuing achievement is the provision of riding to disabled people to enable them to reach their potential in a safe environment, thereby helping their physical and mental health.
Volunteers and friends continue to organise fundraising events and promote rider sponsorship schemes to raise the necessary funds to ensure that the charity remains financially viable.
Participants during the year numbered 33 (2024-36) and the total number of rides and other associated activities, such as horse care and Tea with a Pony, was 1,046 (2024-1,008). The increase in rides and other associated activities, compared to prior year, reflects the available capacity in terms of ponies, riders and volunteers during the year.
During the present year, Stratford-upon-Avon RDA acquired the lease of the stables and other associated facilities at Home Farm, and is now exploring opportunities to expand its services in relation to the number of days and sessions it can operate and the range of activities. This will be assisted by the creation of a ‘Quiet Corner’ for non-ridden activities and the purchase of suitable equines, together with necessary training opportunities for its volunteers and future Activity Leaders and Coaches.
## **Finance**
The policy of the Committee is to maintain a Reserve at least sufficient to meet 3 years future expenditure. In addition, there are four other specific Reserves:-
- Reserve to meet all uninsured losses - including non-routine veterinary costs, loss of tack and the loss of animals. This is in place of external insurance. This Reserve has been in place for a number of years. At the end of the 2024/25 financial year the balance is £10,000 – up £504 from the prior year reflecting the addition of reserves at the start of the year.
- Reserve to cover Development Expenditure. This Reserve was established in 2017/18 financial year (£34,893). Since that time this Reserve has funded the establishment of a new Classroom and all it’s associated ongoing operating costs, resulting in a Development Reserve balance at year-end 2024/25 of £3,066 – down £2,215 from the prior year reflecting the costs incurred during the financial year. This Reserve balance will continue to fund ongoing annual expenditures associated with the maintenance of the Classroom Building and other associated assets
- A new Reserve (£20,000) was established during 2023/24 to fund the purchase of a new pony during that year. The balance at the start of the present year was £13,576, and remained unchanged at year-end. This reserve will be retained to protect against future needs.
- A new Reserve (£45,000) was established during the present year to support the funding of new machinery/equipment. At the end of the present financial year the Reserve balance was £20,909 reflecting the purchase of a new Tractor and associated equipment, required to support the work at the Stables
5
During the year the total income was £70,260 (2024 £78,541), with expenditure of £43,963 (2024 £37,092). Transfer of £504 was made to the Reserve for Uninsured Losses (2024 £3,799) to re-establish a start-year reserve of £10,000; a transfer of £45,000 was made to the New Machinery/Equipment Reserve. This results in a financial surplus/(deficit) of £(19,206) (2024 £14,052 surplus). At 31 March 2025, the Revenue Reserve amounted to £176,413 (2024 £195,620).
Stratford RDA’s Revenue Reserve declined in 2024/25 as a result of the establishment of the Machinery/Equipment Reserve (£45,000). This was partially offset by a number of one-off donations generated from supporter fund raising initiatives, a one-time legacy donation, increasing riding activities and a main fundraising event.
Stratford RDA will continue to monitor it’s potential income and expenditures. Based an initial outlook for 2025/26, Stratford RDA may suffer a shortfall in the region of £(15,000). Due to the level of reserves held, the Trustees consider that the ongoing financial sustainability of the charity is secure with regard to it being a going concern.
No expenditures relating to non-routine Veterinary treatment were required during the year. At March 31 2025, the Uninsured Loss provision amounted to £10,000 (2024 £9,496)
Expenditures relating to the operation of the Classroom facilities totalled £(2,215) during the year. At March 31 2025, the Development Reserve amounted to £3,066 (2024 £5,281)
No expenditures relating to the purchase of a new pony were required during the year. At March 31 2025, the Pony Reserve amounted to £13,576.
A new reserve of £45,000 to support the purchase of new Machinery/Equipment was established during the year
There are no restrictions on the use of the Revenue Reserve.
During the year the charity received legacies of £1,652 (2024 £15,000)
Full details are set out in the Financial Statements on pages 9 to 18.

## **Stratford-upon- Avon RDA**
## **Statement of the responsibilities of Committee Members**
The Companies Acts and the Charities Acts require the Committee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit for the period ending on that date.
In preparing those financial statements the Committee is required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and to apply them consistently;
- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP FRS 102
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in business;
- State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
The Committee are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and comply with regulations under the Charities Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Each member of the Committee confirms that
- So far as the member of the committee is aware, there is no relevant information of which the independent examiner is unaware; And
- The committee member has taken all steps that he/she ought to have taken to make himself/herself aware of any information relevant to the independent examination and to establish that the charity’s independent examiner is aware of that information.
The Committee are also responsible for the contents of the Committees report. The responsibility of the independent examiner in relation to the Committees report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that it is not inconsistent with the figures disclosed in the financial statement.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to small companies.

## **Independent Examiners Report to the Members of Stratford-upon-Avon RDA**
I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025 set out on pages 9 to 16.
## **Respective responsibilities of the Committee and the Examiner**
The Committee are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The committee consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 but that an independent examination is required.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under the Companies Act and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to :
- Examine the financial statements under section 43 of the Charities Act 1993
- Follow the procedures laid down under the general directions given by the charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the Act as amended; and
- State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Independent examiners statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from the committee, concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required for an audit, consequently no opinion is given as to whether the financial statements present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to such matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent Examiners Statement**
## **In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:**
- 1 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in a material respect, the requirements: `o` to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
- to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102.
have not been met; or
2 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the Financial Statements to be reached.

**Stratford-upon Avon RDA Statement of Financial Activities Year ended 31 March 2025**
The Committee are satisfied that for the year ended 31 March 2025 the Charity was entitled to exemption from the requirement to obtain an audit under section 477 of the Companies Act 2006 and that no member or members have required the company to obtain an audit of its accounts for the year in question in accordance with section 476 of the Act.
