Flnance- Cost and Funding In a nomial year, the Charty receives no government core grants, service level agreements or contracts to cover revenue costs and depends on fundraising. donations, fees from riders and funding from small and medium sized charitable trusts. This has been a successful strategy and the organisation has a long track record of achieving its targets. Fundraising continues to be challenging particularly for meeting revenue costs. The key areas that will continue to generate income: Subsidised fees from riders. Subsidised fees frorn groups and organisations Hire and bookings of the arena Training and leaming programmes. partly based on donations Sponsorship of ponies. equipment and buildings Unmounted activities for the wider disabled community e.g. Tea with a Pony Fundraising and grants Retail In line with the fundraising strategy, the charity established a subsidiary trading company to set up and run retail units.

The updated Business Case covers the following - To create a flexible. climateP store at Longlevens has been a success. The stand-alone shop on Tewkesbury High St which opened in December 2021 has been more challenging for a variaty of reasons including physical layout and poor standards of property maintenance meaning the shop had to shut for several weeks in the winter of 2023124. The board keep its operation at this site under review. These t¥VO retail units necessitated taking on an industrial unit on Tewkesbury Rd in Cheltenham for storage and sorting of donated goods.
