The aim of the Group is to promote the objects of the Riding for the Disabled Association (incorporating carriage-driving) a charity registered under charity number 244108 by
providing people with the opportunity to ride and/or carriage drive to benefit their health and wellbeing in the North Staffordshire area. The objectives are reviewed at trustee meetings to ensure the activities remain focused on its stated purposes.
The Group is a community of volunteers who work together to deliver our objectives. The Trustees value the input of all people who are involved, both participants and volunteers. The importance of training and achievement to deliver a high quality service is valued by the Trustees. The commitment of the volunteers is the backbone of the Group’s success and the Trustees support the recruitment, retention and recognition of volunteers to ensure sufficient quality people to deliver our services.
From March 2020 when the Coronavirus lockdown was imposed the Group has been intermittent in operating terms. Background consultations have been ongoing as to how to restart the riding sessions once the lockdown is lifted both in terms of Health and Safety and Pony availability.
The Group’s income and expenditure on charitable activities are very reliant from year to year upon the level of voluntary income and legacies received. The Group continues to fundraise, receives small contributions from participants and variable donations from benefactors. The bulk of the Group’s general expenditure is on pony hire but this was not significant in the year because of the intermittent attendance due to Covid.
At the period end the Group had net payments of £2700 which reduced the reserves to £25k.
