The aim of the Group is to promote the objectives of the Riding for the Disabled Association (incorporating carriage-driving) a charity registered under charity number 1166197 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. Sadly this year we have lost long standing friend to our group and County Coach Mary Leather. 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, although we have increased rider charges to now match this to help to maintain our sustainability, alongside changing banking provider to better suit our needs. At the period end the Group had a closing balance in the Natwest account was £4,512.43 and £19,838.62 in the Hanley Economic account.
