Trustees' report for the year ended 31 May 2022

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year from 1 June 2021 to 31 May 2022.

Objectives and activities

a. Policies and objectives

The Alkham Valley Community Project is a registered charity. The objects of the Charity are:

a) To provide therapeutic horse riding, carriage driving and educational activities for disabled and disadvantaged adults and children to promote their health and wellbeing.

b) To promote community participation in healthy recreation by the provision of facilities to learn skills related to horse riding and carriage driving.

c) To promote the objects of the Riding for Disabled Association including carriage driving (charity number 244108).

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

b. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives

1) Therapeutic

Horse riding using the movement of the horse, which is rhythmic and repetitive, as a way to aid physical development, build core strength, improve balance and stimulate the senses.

Carriage driving helping to develop balance, improve muscle strength, and promote increases in body coordination, confidence and self-esteem. The activity is a challenging and stimulating experience which provides exercise and promotes communication skills. Driving also offers opportunities for those who would not be able to mount a horse, enabling such participants to engage in an equine activity on equal terms to the more able bodied.

Countryside Project improving access to the fields and woods onsite and holding events which encourage people of all abilities to get out into the fresh air and interact with nature and the countryside to benefit participant health and wellbeing.

2) Promoting Community Participation

Saddle Club Saturdays and after school weekly horse riding sessions for children and young people of all abilities from 5 to 19 years old.

Adult Riding Lessons promoting horse riding as a healthy recreation for adult riders of all abilities. Lessons are fun and suitable for all levels of riding ability.

Educational sessions for all abilities and ages to build knowledge, self-confidence and to help develop an interest in horses, build ambition and support sporting habits.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 May 2022

Objectives and activities (continued)

Volunteering is encouraged and provides essential help for our therapeutic and Saddle Club sessions. Volunteers take part in a training programme. The Trustees recognise that volunteering is a positive and beneficial activity; we understand that these young volunteers gain skills such as team spirit, reliability, punctuality, increased self-confidence and self-discipline.

The delivery of funded projects which benefit the health and wellbeing of all those that take part.

Events The AVCP runs promotional events to engage with inactive members of the community and encourage new participation by providing taster sessions, open days and short-term summer special events.

The members of the management committee during the year were as follows:

Chair Jo Murrell Treasurer Kim Finch Trustee Paul Brisley

Achievements and performance

a. Therapeutic activities

Therapeutic sessions for adults and children ran 5 days a week from 10am until 5pm. Morning sessions mainly benefited adults with disabilities, groups of pupils from specialist schools riding in the afternoons. Children with disabilities took part after school and on Saturdays.

b. Community Participation, promoting horse riding, equine sport and healthy recreation to the wider community

The AVCP continued to run an affordable riding project for young people on Saturdays and after school. Adult riding lesson run during the week, evening and Sundays. In addition, there has been an increasing number of training courses and clinics working on the skills needed for more advanced riding goals. The AVCP continues to keep the cost to clients to the minimum.

c. Year Achievements

During this accounting year the charities ability to provide activities had again been restricted to a certain extent by the governments COVID social restriction measures. We started the year in June only able to provide sessions for riders who needed the least assistance. This meant there were no sessions on the lead rein for adult or junior riders. Thankfully by July 2021 these measures were lifted and our special education visits from local schools could restart. The charity also launched a new activity called Cavalry Club . This club aimed to build skills and increase the confidence of young people who hoped to volunteer their time at the AVCP. Activities included an advanced riding lesson and stable management lessons. Club sessions ran at a subsidised cost for those taking part. Due to our work with young people we were well placed to understand the struggles many children and young people experienced with their mental health during and after the pandemic. We were therefore especially pleased launch two new projects. A Reconnect project which aimed to encourage young people back into the community, taking part in healthy activities and making friends. We also embarked on the governments Holiday Activities and Food Programme for children and young people in receipt of benefit related free school meals. Both these projects took place in the school holidays and ran at no cost to the beneficiaries. Feedback from beneficaries showed how effective these projects had been for all taking part.

It was a great pleasure to relaunch a similar project funded by the Port of Dover Fund . This project provided Own a Pony Days for young people from Dover and was an effective way for us to meet young people who had spent the pandemic without any access to a garden or outdoor area, often living in difficult home lives.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 May 2022

Achievements and performance (continued)

In February 2022 the AVCP hosted a Disability Open Day . This event was funded by the Sport England Together Fund administered through the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) . Children were a allotted a time slot to come along, look around and have a go at horse riding. With volunteer help this happy event was open all day and we were very pleased to welcome so many families. RDA further funded the start of weekly disability sessions on Friday afternoons.

The AVCP relaunched our War Horse events for local schools. This event provides cross-curricular links between PSHE, English and History and provides great fun and hands on involvement for pupils.

The AVCP ran a series of day events, clinics and training opportunities through the year. These were well attended and helped encourage ambition for the more advanced riders.

To finish the year in style one of our riders competed in the RDA South East Regional Dressage Qualifiers at Plumpton College . We took our riding school horse Paxman and a team of us to cheer her on. We were very proud that she won one of her classes and came second in another. Plans are underway for our rider to undergo the classification process that will enable her to take part in graded para dressage events.

Financial review

a. 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.

b. Reserves policy

In previous years the Trustee Board have continued to work towards achieving greater project self-sustainability and building a satisfactory level of reserves. In the face of the Coronavirus pandemic, the trustees prioritised improvements to facilities and maintaining the project horses in readiness to promptly start providing the full activity timetable as soon as permitted.

Funding was sought from available COVID emergency funds and the Trustees took the decision to apply for the Government's Bounce Back Loans. These funds were essential to maintaining the financial stability of the Charity, the risk of taking the loans being offset by the charities ability to increase income in the future.

c. Grants and Donations

During this year grants were sought for the delivery of activity projects. The trustees were very pleased to successfully apply for the Kent County Council Reconnect Locality Grant and The Holiday Activities and Food Programme . Our local Councillor David Beaney of West Dover funded the purchase of new riding hats. The Riding for the Disabled Association funded new sessions. Dover District Council offered further COVID financial support. The Wooden Spoon Charity gave a donation towards a horse. The Cole Trust kindly donated money towards running cost. Our thanks go to the local Co Op store for their charitable collection and all the shoppers who donated. Our thanks also go to J Mozley and Mrs C Froy for their kind donations.

d. Results for the year

The Charity has made a deficit on its restricted funds of £27,190, and a deficit on its unrestricted funds of £26,442, giving a total deficit in this financial year of £53,832 (2021: surplus of £19,341).

This has led to the closing level of funds decreasing to £129,648 (2021: £183,480) at the Balance sheet date, of which £104,968 are restricted funds and £24,680 are unrestricted funds.

Independent examiner's report

for the year ended 31 May 2022

Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of The Alkham Valley Community Project and Therapeutic Riding Centre CIO ('the Charity')

I report to the Charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 May 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the Charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2022

1. General information

The Alkham Valley Community Project And Therapeutic Riding Centre CIO is a charitable incorporated organisation in England and Wales, with the charity registration number 1154316. The address of the registered office is Mount Ararat, Abbey Road, Hougham, Dover, CT15 7DJ. The principal aims and objectives of the Charity are disclosed within the Trustees Report.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The Alkham Valley Community Project and Therapeutic Riding Centre CIO meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

The financial statements are presented in British Sterling and rounded to the nearest Pound.

2.2 Going concern

The Trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate, i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern. The Trustees makes this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation of the financial statements and have concluded that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

2.3 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2022

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Charitable activities are costs incurred on the Charity's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the Charity.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of financial activities.

Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

Improvement works - 10% Straight line
Motor vehicles - 25% Straight line
Fixtures and fittings - 20% Straight line
Horses - 10% Straight line

2.6 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2.7 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

2.8 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2022

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.9 Financial instruments

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.10 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
