Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 January 2022
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 January 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The charity's objects as stated in its constitution are:
"For the benefit of the public to relieve the suffering of racehorses in need of care and attention by providing and maintaining a rescue home or other facilities for the reception, care and treatment of such animals.
To promote humane behaviour towards racehorses by providing care, protection, treatment and security for racehorses which are in need of care and attention by reason of sickness, maltreatment, poor circumstances or ill usage and to educate the public in matters pertaining to animal welfare in general and the prevention of cruelty and suffering among animals."
New Beginnings was established in 2010 as a CIC (Community Interest Company) and became a registered Charity in 2016. Since its inception New Beginnings has strived to build its reputation to now becoming recognised as the Centre of Excellence for rehabilitation, retraining and re-homing of former racehorses in the North East of England. The Charity has got this reputation by always putting the horse's welfare first and foremost. The Charity is also one of only ten centres accredited to the RoR (Retraining of Racehorses the official Charity of the British Horseracing Association)
The references to racehorses includes former racehorses.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 January 2022
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Significant activities
Horses are taken in by the charity directly from trainers, owners, from post racing private homes and the RoR through their Vulnerable Horses Scheme. At this stage the horse comes under the care of the charity and belongs to the charity. An inward donation is requested in all cases to contribute to the future cost of stabling, rehabilitating and retraining the horses before re-homing.
The horse is assessed and may be turned away for a period of time to adjust from its former situation. When ready, the horse will be brought into work at a pace suitable for each individual horse.
When the horse has been retrained, can carry itself in an outline, is hacking out alone or in company and is considered suitable to be offered out on loan, their details will be added to the website so potential loaners can view their details and see if they may be compatible.
Where potential loaners have contacted the charity with or without seeing the details of the current horses available on the website, they will be sent a Horse Enquiry Form asking questions in relation to their experience along with what they are looking for. These will then be discussed and if any horses are considered suitable for them, a visit by the potential loaner to the charity's base will be arranged so horses and loaner can meet and be assessed together.
The process of re-homing the horses is taken carefully and the charity will not re-home a horse until they are satisfied it is a suitable match for the horse, and the loaner is fully aware of the ongoing training requirements to achieve a successful move and can continue with the horse's development into a ridden horse. The process can take several weeks to match horse and loaner.
Once loaned out, the horses cannot be sold by the loaner, they will always belong to the charity. If the circumstances change and the horse needs to be returned to the charity, the charity will take the horse back to ensure its security and where suitable, a new home will be sought for the horse, whilst continuing its schooling.
The charity can attend up to 20 race meetings per year. Racecourses usually attended include York, Pontefract, Ripon, Wetherby, and Doncaster. They also work with York Racecourse for their emergency procedures day. The charity also take their exhibition unit to the RoR Championship Show at Aintree, Middleham Stables Open Day and Malton Festival of Racing along with numerous local shows.
Most race meetings will consist of taking two former racehorses, this allows the public to meet and touch a horse, many for the first time. During the past eleven years the charity have seen many of the then children, progress and learn to ride, just because they saw and touched one of their former racehorses. This also helps to promote the charity's objectives and aims to the wider public, many of whom have never considered what happens to racehorses once they are no longer active in the sport.
The charity also takes part in ridden parades at Ripon, Pontefract, Wetherby and Doncaster, where they take several former racehorses. These can be either horses that they have retrained and are ready to be re-homed, or horses that are out on loan ridden by the loaner.
The charity feel that this is important as it shows the true versatility of these wonderful horses.
Public benefit
The trustees give due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit. The trustees consider the care, protection, treatment and security offered to racehorses and former racehorses to be a benefit to the public.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Volunteers
The charity get support from businesses who donate a day, where they will donate their time to do the routine tasks like painting or specific projects. Due to the temperament and vulnerability of some of the horses that come to New Beginnings they do not have volunteers on the yard. They do however appreciate their help when attending race meetings and other events, to promote the charity and raise funds, supporting Kevin Atkinson and Pam Atkinson, the trustees who undertake these tasks on a day to day basis.
The assistance of the volunteers is invaluable to the charity.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Retraining of former racehorses
During the period £36,432 (£31,921: 2021) was received from the RoR (Retraining of Racehorses Charity) in respect of vulnerable horses taken into the care of New Beginnings Horses.
Fundraising activities
The charity was unable to hold its main fundraising event (Charity Ball and Auction) in February 2021 due to COVID 19 restrictions. The event was held again in February 2022.
The charity rely on their "Friends of New Beginnings" these are the individuals and businesses who donate a monthly amount to help support the charity's activities, without whom the past financial year would have been very different.
The charity received donations of feed from British Horse Feeds and Spillers which helped enormously through these difficult times.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
During the period the charity had a total income of £210,192 (£259,642: 2021). £36,432 (£74,321: 2021) of the income was from grants, the remaining £173,760 (£185,321: 2021) was raised from regular donations, gift aid claims, rehab livery, collections, fundraising, sale of merchandise, holiday cottage income, covid related grants and gains on disposal of fixed assets.
Expenditure and depreciation of fixed assets amounted to £263,186 (£204,792: 2021), leaving a (deficit) of (£52,994) (unrestricted (£43,831), restricted (£9,163)) (surplus £54,850: 2021)
The deficit arose on unrestricted funds due to normal activity and the expenditure of 2021's income surplus.
The restricted deficit in the year relates to permitted transfers to unrestricted funds (see note 25) and expenditure and depreciation relating to the specific projects funding was received for.
In the year a total of £24,516 (£65,931: 2021) was invested in equipment additions and yard improvements.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
It remains essential that the level of income received each year is increased by way of building on existing fundraising sources and regular donations, but also the seeking of grants and donations towards specific projects wherever possible. New Beginnings Horses funded the majority of its own growth in the past (when the activities were carried out through a CIC prior to becoming a CIO and registered charity) and needs to concentrate on seeking funding for capital projects wherever possible so that its regular income can be used for the day to day running costs and support costs that will increase to enable the number of horses re-homed each year to rise.
Reserves policy
The trustees review the policy on reserves at least once per year with reference to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission.
As the charity is responsible for the care of horses, the trustees consider that a general reserve equivalent to two months' regular costs directly relating to the premises costs and insurance, wages, housing, feeding, farriery and veterinary care of the horses on site is appropriate. 30 horses are regularly stabled on site throughout any period. Considering the costs reported, an amount of £25,000 should be available at all times to protect the welfare of the horses, should any sudden change in the charity's income streams arise.
The general reserve is part of the unrestricted funds that are freely available to spend i.e. excluding restricted funds and tangible fixed assets.
This reserves policy also considers that horses can be returned from loan homes where circumstances have changed.
The level of free reserves, that is those unrestricted funds not tied up in tangible fixed assets, nor held in designated funds stood at £34,699 at 31 January 2022.
FUTURE PLANS
New Beginnings hosted its annual charity ball in February 2022. The ball in 2021 was unable to take place due to the pandemic which lost the Charity a valuable source of income for that year. It is planned that the event will be held again in February 2023.
The charity continues to have a presence at York and other racecourses in the region to promote awareness about a racehorse's life after racing, the work of the charity, along with raising funds.
The charity paraded several ridden horses retrained and rehomed by the charity at Ripon, Pontefract, Doncaster and Wetherby racecourses prior to a race meeting. This will be repeated in future years, as New Beginnings feels that it is important to show the racing public the true versatility of these fantastic horses.
New Beginnings will continue to expand on its attendance at Local and County Shows, to promote "Life Past the Post" and the general awareness of New Beginnings and the work they do. The main purpose of which will be to drive more suitable people to New Beginnings when they are looking for a former racehorse or indeed a horse.
New Beginnings takes suitable retrained but not yet rehomed horses to local competitions, they intend to continue with this to again highlight the level and quality of some of the horses that they are retraining and drive more people looking for a horse to them.

accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.

Transfers between funds - continued
A contribution of £26,700 from RoR, for the original all weather arena project, was permitted by RoR to be transferred to general funds in the year. This was due to the original project being modified to that of an all weather pen, as less funding would be required for this, but objectives still met. The original project was going to require significant further funding than already raised.
27. TRANSACTIONS WITH TRUSTEES AND RELATED PARTIES
Trustee remuneration and benefits
Two of the trustees, Kevin Atkinson and Pam Atkinson, work in excess of full time for the charity. The only remuneration paid by the charity in the period was:
£22,371 (£12,210: 2021) to Kevin Atkinson £22,371 (£10,802: 2021) to Pam Atkinson
Employer pension contributions paid were:
£158 (£nil: 2021) for Kevin Atkinson £158 (£nil: 2021) for Pam Atkinson
The constitution allows for trustees to be remunerated with no more than a reasonable remuneration, provided that a majority of the trustees do not benefit under this provision.
Onsite residential accommodation with an estimated market value of £6,000 per annum (£6,000: 2021) plus council tax and water rates of £2,824 (£2,261: 2021) was provided for the trustees Kevin Atkinson and Pam Atkinson, and paid for by the charity. These trustees provide constant security and care for the horses on site at New Beginnings Horses. As the provision of residential accommodation for onsite trustees/staff is essential for the welfare of the horses to enable them to be monitored and cared for continually, this is considered to be an exempt benefit from a taxation and national insurance position.
Transactions with related parties
The trustees Kevin Atkinson and Pam Atkinson are jointly owed £1,361 (£6,487: 2021) by the charity at 31 January 2022. This will be repaid as unrestricted funds allow.
During the year an amount of £7,694 (£50: 2021) was paid to Kevin Atkinson's son, James Atkinson, for yard work throughout the year performed on a self employed basis.
