The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published in October 2019. ## Objectives and activities Our aim is to give people with disabilities in Nottinghamshire and the surrounding area, opportunities to ride, interact, and care for ponies & horses. It is a well-known fact that horses can help people with physical and mental disabilities alike, to develop their physical skills, strength, co-ordination and social skills. Our instructors work closely with physiotherapists and other health professionals to encourage every individual to aim for attainable goals some modest, others more ambitious. There is also a unique opportunity to ride at Papplewick Equestrian Centre, which is the home of Para Dressage Development and Performance coach, Angela Weiss. Riding horses and ponies is an excellent way of giving people with physical and mental disabilities a sense of independence and freedom. The horse's movements stimulate the mind and muscle responses from disabled children and adults. Riding demands both physical and mental concentration and the horse responds to direct and clear body language. Co-ordination, balance, trust, respect, confidence, muscle development, strength, core-stability, social skills, responsibility are all skills that can be developed with the help of horses. Our ambition is also to provide a link between therapy and performance, for those riders that have ambitions to succeed in the sport of Para Dressage. ## Public benefit All our charitable activities focus on giving opportunities to people with disabilities as described in our aims. Alongside the therapy riding we are offering in the community, we are developing our sport side to provide competition opportunities as seen from the report above. Within the local community there is encouragement for young people to enrol in volunteer activities. Our group has been able to participate in providing some good opportunities to develop skills and inspire young people to work together in the workplace. The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. ## Achievements and performance Unfortunately due to the coronavirus we have not been able to reopen and have been on lockdown for the past year. We have continued to look after our RDA ponies with the hope that we would be able to reopen. Unfortunately due to the lockdown and coronavirus we have been unable to carry out any fundraising activities to help support our RDA group. Fortunately we have been able to receive some grants from the National RDA and also from the local council authorities in order to keep us financially able to look after the ponies during this time. We have been able to provide some volunteer opportunities for local children to come along and help with the care of the ponies. Unfortunately this has again been limited due to the coronavirus. The ponies that we have in our RDA are the same as the previous year there has been no change since then. Aes ne een iene Sees | | PAPPLEWICK RDA | || TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 | SS nnn tee a SS ee Financial review | The results for the year and the charity financial position at the end of the year are shown in the attached financial statements. The trustees are satisfied with the overall position and can confirm the charity has the | resources to fully discharge its obligations. The Charity Commission has recommended that we formulate a reserve policy to help safeguard our future. || runningRDA Nationalcosts. hasThis consultedlevel of Generalthe CharityReserveCommissionmay be consideredand suggestsabovea maximumaverage forreserve a Charitylevelofof our24 sizemonthsbut | the trustees have a duty to reserve the assets of the charity and in the case of Riding for the Disabled our | specially trained ponies form the most important part of our assets. This changes our risk management profile | considerably. For example, horses cannot contract Foot and Mouth Disease but nevertheless we understand that the National RDA has had experience of groups being forced to shut down riding activities during epidemics in the past and all movement of livestock on and off the estate depending upon location. We understand that this can cause a group a considerable time to recover. Whilst ponies can be disposed of they cannot easily be replaced as RDA ponies with the right temperament and ability are difficult to find. Given that we are so small and we are not located on an estate with any cattle we do consider that the risk of interruption to the running of the Charity is a small risk; we calculate that if we are not open for rides our basic running costs are in the region of £1,000 a month. If the Charity does need to close then the costs will be very small and would amount to the accountancy costs and associated costs of winding up the charity and the company. The trustees have given due consideration to the above together with our outgoings and financial needs and have decided that we can manage with reserves of4 months running costs with an additional sum as a contingency in case of closure costs. As such there is a General Reserve requirement of £5,000 that we shall aim to achieve. ## The General Reserve will be reviewed at every AGM. ## Principle funding sources We receive regular donations from The Charities Trust, Virgin Money Giving and QBE Foundation. ## Future plans Our intention is to reopen as soon as it is safe to do so. We will have to review our situation regarding instructor and volunteers as we anticipate there will be a change due to the length of time we have been closed. The interest in Papplewick RDA has still remained high with enquiries and we believe that there will still be a positive need for our service that we can provide to the community. As soon as we are able to reopen safely then we will do so. We will hope to be able to fund raise in order to still continue our projects that we have outstanding from the previous year which have been unfinished due to the coronavirus lockdown. Repairs to the fencing, water supply to the stables and portacabin, kitchen area in the portacabin and the rough land development for hacking and riding facilities will all need to be re-visited once we have re opened and fundraising activities can be resumed. , || | | | | ## PAPPLEWICK RDA ## TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 aeea ## Structure, governance and management Governing document The charity is constituted as a company, limited by guarantee, and is therefore governed by its memorandum and articles of association. The company does not have a share capital and the liability of each member is limited to £1 in the event of winding up. The principal activity of the company is giving people with disabilities in Nottinghamshire and the surrounding area, opportunities to ride, interact and care for ponies and horses. ## The company is a registered charity and its charity number is 1161982. The trustees meet several times a year to discuss fundraising and other issues concerning the management and running of the RDA centre. The charity continues to belong to the Association and benefits from insurance cover, training, advice and support. New trustees are normally recruited from our pool of volunteer helpers, or for specialist roles like Treasurer from existing Trustees' wider network of associates. Potential Trustees are invited to attend a Trustee meeting to see what we do and to have the Trustee role explained to them. If they agree to be considered for a Trustee role a vote is taken by existing Trustees.
