Year ended 31 March 2023
Achievements and performance
We had a positive outlook for the start of the new financial year, as we emerged from Covid and the effects of the storms at the end of the year.
Thanks to funding from Sport England, in April we were able to repair damage to our arena surface, caused by the storm damage to our roof, so we could resume our lessons safely without risk of injury to horses and riders.
In May, thanks to generous donations, we were able to purchase a new horse Betsy, who has been a real asset to the team and is very much loved by our riders, who also raised funds to purchase a new saddle and rug for her.
The start of spring, and hope of summer, encouraged our volunteers, and volunteers from local companies, to make a start on getting our sensory garden prepared for use. Last year we completed the groundwork, and in May the pony petting stable was finally installed. Thanks to funds received from the Co-op, we were able to purchase equipment including a lawnmower and strimmer, and materials to build raised beds so that our wheelchair users could help with the planting and maintenance of the flower beds, and also get the benefit of them when the flowers bloomed.
This really was a uniting of the community, there were so many ideas and a lot of creative thinking going on, with donated tyres being painted and transformed into tea cups and saucers, and colourful displays for a herb garden, so our sensory garden would also include taste, and windchimes in the breeze added to the sounds.
In August we were delighted that our Patron, Brenda Blethyn was filming in the area, and was available to make the opening of our garden extra special by cutting the ribbon for us. September saw the return to school for many youngsters, and thanks to funding from Sport England, managed by WearRise, we were able to support two new groups of children with special needs to come and enjoy riding activities on a weekly basis.
With the onset of the winter weather and dark nights, thanks to funding from Empower and Gentoo, we were able to install energy efficient lighting throughout the building and the outdoor arena, the Rothley Trust also contributed toward a more efficient thermostat and radiator controls, and we hope to see the benefits of these initiatives in the coming year.
We continue to express our appreciation for the tireless efforts of our staff and volunteers, for their hard work and determination to ensure all our clients have the best possible experience.
We are also very grateful for the ongoing support of the Sir John Priestman Trust, WA Handley, and the Roy and Pixie Baker Trust, also Lanchester Road Hospital and the Community Choir, who, although only small, have being extremely generous is their regular funding for the Centre.
The end of March saw the retirement of a long time member of staff, Jane Cherry, who has worked with the Centre for almost 40 years, and spent many of those years as Centre Manger until an injury caused her to take a step back, and relocate with her husband to their home in Ireland. We wish her every success in the future.
We have many positives to take forward into the new financial year. Nothing would be possible without the valuable contribution from volunteers and supporters of the Centre, and especially the hardworking board who despite having other commitments, are generous in sharing their time and expertise to make the Centre so successful.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2023
As a board we will continue to review our business plan and strategy to ensure compliance and commitment to our charitable objectives and to ensure our continued success.
Financial review
The charity's policy is to retain reserves, in the form of unrestricted funds, to a level where they equate to approximately 6 months expenditure. This should provide a reasonably secure financial base on which to plan future projects and commit to related expenditure before external funding has been fully secured. The general fund shows a deficit of £14,221 during the year, while the balance sheet shows aggregate reserves of £147,373 at 31 March 2023.
The results for the year and the charity's financial position at the end of the year are shown in the attached financial statements. The Trustees are satisfied with the overall financial position of the charity and can confirm that the charity has the resources to fully discharge its obligations.
Risk statement
It is confirmed that the major risks identified by the Trustees have been reviewed and systems established to mitigate those risks.
Small company provisions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.
The trustees' annual report was approved on 6 December 2023 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Tyne & Wear RDA Limited
Year ended 31 March 2023
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Tyne & Wear RDA Limited ('the company') for the year ended 31 March 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the company’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 the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for 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).

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Plant and machinery - 25% reducing balance Fixtures and fittings - 25% straight line
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

Year ended 31 March 2023
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Impairment of fixed assets (continued)
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the company are assigned to those units.
Stocks
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2023
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Financial instruments (continued)
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
4. Limited by guarantee
Tyne and Wear RDA Limited is a company limited by guarantee and accordingly does not have a share capital.
