Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 October 2020
Report of the Chair
Introduction
Gul's activities improve the well-being of disadvantaged young people by providing outdoor therapies, horse based activities such as riding and stable management, and alternative education for vulnerable young people struggling in mainstream schooling. Gul was founded by Christians who believe that serving others and delivering activities in the outdoors which improve well-being is a practical way of observing their faith. Gul is proud to have served the South West with its provision for over 14 years and we remain as always, open to people of all faiths and backgrounds.
2019-20 has been a successful year but not been without its challenges. The charity has directly supported 349 individuals with 25,512 hours of therapeutic activities, increased its turnover by 26% to £224,000, increased our number of referring partners to over 70 organisations across all surrounding counties and successfully opened a new centre to enhance the offer of our established Carmarthenshire facility in South Wales. This incredible work has been facilitated by a growing team of 15 individuals and 30 volunteers who work to deliver the charity’s aims across its sites.
The pressure caused by the rate of growth, together with external pressures outside of Gul’s control has led to a challenging working environment at times as the team adjusts to new demands and growing needs from its users. It speaks volumes or the strength of the team and systems of governance at the charity, and resilience that Gul was able to manage a lengthy safeguarding investigation from a former staff member which was strongly contested by the charity and was able to be demonstrated, unequivocally that Gul was correct in its decision making and processes, indeed the independent investigator during the process stated as such in his report. Gul was ultimately vindicated as the allegations were ruled as false and malicious. None the less the process added extra strain to a small team and resulted in unexpected expense which ate into reserves. In addition, the CEO of the organisation was unable to participate fully in the active management of the charity due to personal commitments elsewhere and so her workload was deputised to the Operations Director, again this additional stress was absorbed by the team who rose to the challenge admirably.
Objectives and Activities
The objects of the CIO are as follows:
(1) To provide or assist in the provision of facilities and therapeutic interventions through a network of healthy community and therapy centres for individuals who have need of such provision by reason of their age, ill-health or disability, financial hardship or social circumstances with the object of improving their conditions of life. (2) To advance the Christian faith for the public benefit.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 October 2020
Equine Assisted Therapy and riding
2019-20 saw the onset of the effect of COVID-19 upon Gul’s equine assisted therapy provision and a corresponding plummeting in demand. This suppressed the hours of provision compared to the previous year until the lockdown was rescinded. The COVID year was compounded by a wet winter which led to significantly lower activity than predicted in January. Thankfully, preparatory work in the previous financial year ensured Gul had the capacity to deal with the subsequent and late surge in demand, and this trend looks set to continue as Gul rides the wave of surging demand into the next financial period. The charity’s equine assisted therapy (EAT) provision continues to be the single largest provision for Gul and approximately 80% of those who attend are involved with this work stream to a greater or lesser extent. In addition, Gul has opened a new partner site in Norfolk and expanded its operations at its Bustard and Carmarthen sites too.
By the close of the 2019-20 financial year, Gul had worked with over 70 organisations whose beneficiaries had been referred for its services. These were primarily schools but also included NHS services, local councils and other charitable and private sector partners. By mid-2020, beneficiaries were drawn much more locally, approximately 30 miles from the Riverside site, but by the close of 2020 Gul was again seeing more and more referrals and enquiries from further afield in neighbouring counties.
Outdoor
2020 saw Gul further embed its non-equine activities and as a result Gul has continued to grow its outdoor work streams. The charity has offered NNAS navigation training, outdoor pursuits and adventure training for staff and beneficiaries in accordance with pandemic restrictions. Approximately 15% of Gul beneficiaries attend Gul for outdoor therapy only with most (approximately 50%) Gul beneficiaries taking part in a mixture of ridden and outdoor activities. All staff also undertook outdoor training to ensure they had at least the basic tools for running outdoor sessions alongside their specialisms. Gul now employs a total of 14 individuals and has 30 volunteers on its books.
Therapy
COVID has led to unprecedented pressures on Gul’s users and staff, with increased incidence of serious mental health issues. The team have seen the return of beneficiaries who had previously transitioned from the service, subsequently relapsing and returning to use Gul once more.
During the financial year the provision of the charity has provided therapeutic interventions to beneficiaries such as:
• Children and Young people with specialist needs who cannot manage mainstream services, particularly those with mental health issue, 77% of user base.
-
Young people who care for others
-
Local families needing outdoor pursuits, 15% of user base
-
Adults over 65, 5% of user base
-
Service Families
Bursaries secured from Sport England have enabled young people to access provision who do not receive other forms of funding support and Gul continues to offer 10% of all provision free of charge.
Current Therapeutic Provision:
-
Activity for physical health and wellbeing
-
Belonging and value through purposeful activity
-
Enabling success
-
Self- awareness
-
Education
-
Communication
-
Occupational and Physiotherapy, treatment, maintenance and Rehab
-
Psychological therapies and counselling
-
Temporary Supported Accommodation for Veterans and others in need
Each beneficiary has a bespoke programme arranged for them that includes activities from the broader offering. All programmes are designed following assessment and are reviewed by lead therapists.
The people who benefit directly from Gul are the beneficiaries (of which there were 200 in 2019-20) their families, wider society and the community as a whole benefitting indirectly through the promotion of health and wellbeing activities and improvements in users attending.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 October 2020
Bustard
Residents
The Bustard has been at full or near capacity for the entirety of 2019-20. The site supported 6 individuals through transitionary periods in their lives.
Functions
In addition to regular fitness classes, the Bustard opened a new community café in September 2020. Initial uptake was encouraging until the country quickly plunged back into lockdown and for the earlier parts of the year no events were possible due to COVID restrictions.
Fundraising
Gul’s fundraising efforts in 2020 were hampered by its fundraiser being furloughed. Although efforts were made to catch up later, this was not quite possible. Gul operates on the basis that its activities should be sustainable in the long term and its fundraising policy is designed to reflect this. Gul is fortunate to have a large and supportive community surrounding it who make regular donations that supplement its usual revenue streams. In 2019-20, donations totalled over £13,449 which was a 4k drop on the previous year. When Gul applies for grant funding, it will be for a capital expenditure item, to pump prime a new venture or to enhance the charity’s ability to help its beneficiaries or reach a larger cohort. In 2019-20, grant funding for projects totalled £15,500, the donors of these projects received timely and regular reports and all projects were completed within budget and on time. The Grantees are listed below.
Wales
The site in Penlan, just outside Carmarthen in South Wales continues to show great promise, and Gul has now been working with another nearby site to offer equine assisted therapy to bolster the efforts at Penlan. This new site is known as Littlemoor and is in a period of development with the site manager being trained to operate independently, but with support from Gul HQ and the other local site. Gul intends to make use of the on-site facilities (outdoor and indoor riding schools and stabling for 16 horses) as well as the considerable expertise of the sites owners in running forest school-like sessions, holistic therapy and heritage craft workshops to improve the well-being of disadvantaged individuals in the area. Gul in Wiltshire continues to support Gul Wales in its administration, fundraising and service delivery, and expects this service to continue to grow.

Funders
Gul is proud to have received funding from the following organisations.
-
iWill £4,750
-
Wiltshire Community Foundation £1,750
-
WASP £1,300
-
Sport England £4,000 bursaries to support those in financial need
-
Crowdfunder £3,700
Reserves policy
Gul recognises the need for planning for contingencies but has rarely been in the position of having a financial reserve as there is always a need for spare, unrestricted funds for the furtherance of the charitable activity. In 2019-20 Gul was still able to develop its small working reserve but sadly unexpected costs due to the issues mentioned earlier in the report resulted in this money having to be spent.
In the event that Gul was to have income greater than expenditure it would seek to have three months operating costs (£45k) set aside. In addition to this, the charity would aim to have a small contingency fund available to absorb unexpected shocks such as periods of long-term illness/ absence among staff.
Such funds are held within the main account but tracked within the monthly accounts as separate budgets.
Gul is happy to use unrestricted funds from a project account to temporarily assist with cash flow but never restricted funds.
Gul is in the wonderful position of having dedicated supporters who would provide short term cash flow assistance if needed.
Risk management
Trustees at Gul meet quarterly to review the charities policies, procedures, risk assessments and management plans. The Senior Management Team (SMT) meets weekly to discuss operational management and immediate concerns are dealt with on a day-to-day basis by team leaders and qualified staff.
Finances are managed using cloud-based software that is updated weekly to produce annual budgets and cash flow forecasts.
Health and safety is discussed at meetings as an agenda item either relating to specific concerns or policy review.
External risk is managed using strategic planning and risk assessments undertaken by the SMT and reviewed by the trustees.
Structure Governance and management
The charity is governed by its constitution. It was incorporated on 1 November 2014. Prior to this the charity was known as God Unlimited and was a registered charity founded in 2006.
All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity; they can, however, recover expenses incurred directly as a result of their role.
The board currently consists of the Chair (appointed from the existing trustees) and three further trustees - there have to be at least three serving trustees with no maximum limit. Trustees are recruited to ensure a diversity of relevant skills and expertise needed for effective governance of the charity. They are invited to complete a skills audit and attend a meeting as an observer before commitment from either side.
Trustee Induction and Training
On appointment trustees sign a declaration of eligibility, undertake an enhanced DBS check and sign a code of conduct agreement. They undergo online safeguarding training. They receive a Trustee Information Pack, discussed in meeting with the Chair & CEO:
-
Trustee role and responsibilities
-
Key documents setting out the framework for the charity including the Memorandum and Articles, all current policies, Business Plan
-
Financial and funding information including the latest published accounts
-
A copy of the Charity Commission: Essential Trustee guide
Trustees are also invited to a tour of the building to see Gul in action and to meet the staff and volunteer team.

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 October 2020
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
God-Unlimited Outdoor Therapy is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) registered in England and Wales.
The address of the principal office is given in the charity information on page 2 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are stated in the trustees report.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure has involved following the 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) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest pound.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which the expenditure arose.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
| Freehold property | - 2% on straight line basis |
|---|---|
| Improvements to property | - 2% on straight line basis |
| Equine, fixtures & fittings | - 25% on reducing balance |
No depreciation is provided on freehold land.
Fixed assets are included at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditure is only capitalised on individual assets with a cost of at least £1,000.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Cash
Cash at bank and cash 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.
Debtors and creditors payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
Financial instruments
The charity only holds basic financial instruments as defined in FRS 102. Trade debtors, trade creditors and accruals are held at amortised cost as detailed in notes 9 and 10. Cash is measured at face value. Fixed asset investments are measured at fair value as detailed in note 8. Prepayments are not financial instruments.
Other Loans
Loans from individuals repayable in more than one year, with no fixed repayment date, are initially recognised and measured at the amount received, with the carrying amount adjusted in subsequent year to reflect repayments and any accrued interest and adjusted if necessary for any impairment.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
The trustees have noted the position of the free reserves, however, they remain assured the CIO continues to be a going concern because cash remains positive and business is rebuilding rapidly after a series of unexpected, major expenses.
The CIO has successfully maintained services during Covid-19 whilst saving costs by use of its volunteer workforce. The trustees also remain assured that need will increase in the medium term post-Covid and that the future looks bright for this essential provision.
