## **ANNUAL REPORT  September 2021 to 2022** 

TRUSTEES:  Alan Ottey Chair, Mavis Jean Harris Treasurer, Christina Daw, Kimberley Coxhill, Jo McCabe 

Secretarial duties taken over by Jenny Nott and Jackie Tye who are not trustees 

This was an improved year for the charity financially, however we had managed to keep going throughout 3 lockdowns, providing sessions in therapeutic art for wellbeing, mindfulness with art and horses here at the sanctuary in undercover, open air converted field shelters, so people suffering from mental health issues could continue to come here and stay safe and make art.  We have remained covid free.  We have provided evidence that art therapy has greatly benefited the community, and has lessened the need for GP intervention. 

We provided ART2HEART STRONGER TOGETHER sessions throughout the year. We provided an online art mentoring support group of the same name. 

In April 2022 I had a serious accident which incapacitated me for a number of weeks, during which 3 young people with on going mental health issues came and took over the running of the stables and exercising the ponies. After I was more mobile one relocated to the other side of Devon, one returned to college and the third is still being supported by us as she is no longer able to attend high school as she continues o suffer with health anxiety and phobias. She is waiting for an appointment with CAMHS. 

It has been very difficult to source reliable volunteers!! 

Sadly one pony had to be put to sleep.  He’d been with us for 7 years.  In October we rescued a mare and foal.  The mare was very frail and old (age 20) and very aggressive.  She has died, and we are looking after the foal who is integrated into the herd.  She will be very useful in the projects here. 

We ran an outreach group called Grief Warriors throughout the Summer and Autumn, supporting people who had suffered grief for a whole variety of reasons. 

The total income for the year was £19,420   This money came from Western Power and Awards 4 All and donations. 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our supporters

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 September 2022.

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts 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
