The Trustees of Centered Horseplay C/o Marie Longstaff Stown Cottage Crackstone Near Minchinhampton GL6 9BD
15[th] March 2023
Dear Trustees
## **Independent examiner’s report to the charity trustees of Centered Horseplay**
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the period ended 31 May 2022, which are set out on pages 1 and 2.
## **Respective responsibilities of charity trustees and examiner**
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145 (5) (b) of the Charities Act), and
- state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s report**
I have examined your charity accounts in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission.
My examination included a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as charity trustees concerning any such matters.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination and have no concerns. No matter has come to my attention which:
- gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act;
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**Objectives & Activities**
## **Objectives**
The objectives of Centred Horseplay are to promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing people from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society.
## **Activities**
**Re-start Course** – Our flagship course is usually delivered over 5 consecutive days with 1 to 1 facilitator support. We teach, rehearse and repeat key resilience skills in an intensive and challenging but fun way. All sessions take place in action with horses selected and trained to provide especially clear and easily observed feedback to participants guided by the facilitator. The course helps to develop positive habits through the following skills;
- Engagement – taking on new challenges and pushing limits, mindful of own confidence.
- Responsibility – for own thoughts, emotions and actions
- Calmness – developing a calmness habit and how to create calmness in difficult situations.
- Assertiveness – able to be calmly assertive, without aggression or upset.
- Realistic Analysis & Planning – think before acting, realistic assessment of situations and planning accordingly.
- Focus & Perseverance – working towards goals despite setbacks.
- Empathy – being aware other needs, offering care and support, feeling closely connected.
- Communication & Language – respectful communications and expression
Each participant has a reflective session with the facilitator looking at their progress in each skills-based area and if successful the participant receives a certificate.
**Lighter Touch Sessions** – We offer top-up and taster sessions, which are 1 to 1 and can provide a lead into the Re-Start course or a top-up for participants who have completed the main course and need a little extra help.
**Non-Verbal Toolbox Training –** A course designed for frontline professionals, parents and carers to learn how to engage and relate to difficult clients using non-verbal tools. We teach how to accurately assess emotional status, learn to read the body rather than listen to what is being said and use non-verbal strategies to help clients become calmer and make faster progress. During this period, we ran two well supported sessions with Family First and Edge of Care teams at Gloucestershire County Council.
## **Family Support**
We continued our successful programme offering ReStart courses involving two or more members of the at-risk family attending courses at the same time which included two family ReStarts. During the Covid-19 restrictions more YP were accompanied by parents/carers which enabled us to share our Non-Verbal strategies with direct families and have encouraged more family involvement moving forward.
**Achievements & Performance**
## **Statutory Declaration**
The trustees declare that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the commission in exercising their powers or duties.
## **Main Achievements for the Year**
The services we provide are based predominately outside, and as such, the charity has historically closed over the winter months and reopened in April. In 2021, due to re-location and the need to complete work on the facilities, the charity re-opened in May 2022. The move was hugely beneficial for the charity and its participants, we now have sole use at Shadywell Farm enabling us to be 100% flexible around our participants' needs.
During the year we received donations and contributions towards courses amounting to £22,200.
Due to ongoing Covid-19 restrictions and a resignation of the former CEO, the charity reopened later than expected in 2022, nevertheless, the charity ran 18 ReStarts including two families.
During the course we work on 8 core skills that are known to lead to better life choices. Post course reviews are conducted at 2 months by the person making the original referral and we ask that they do not refer to the original referral document when completing this review.
The ReStart addresses 8 core skills: Engagement (confidence as a learner); Taking Responsibility (owning emotions and behaviour); Calmness (in difficult situations); Assertiveness (accepting and setting boundaries appropriately); Realistic Analysis & Planning (think before you act); Focus & Perseverance (working towards goals despite setbacks); Relating to others/Empathy (constructive connections); Communication & Language (emotional literacy).
We are recording a 28% average overall gain across all the above 8 points of the skill star. The following intermediate outcomes are also measure at 2 months post course:
1. Education & Learning - 85% of participants show improvement.
Our programme has been shown to increase levels of engagement with education and/or training, we use an action learning process and the magic of the horse to get participants to engage. We are then able to teach them to become confident and effective learners in the horsemanship context.
2. Problem Behaviours - 88% show improvement.
Our activities train people how to be calm and focused even in difficult and pressured
situations.
3. Improved Relationships - 92% show improvement.
Participants learn, first with a horse then one another how to read others and respond appropriately. This empathy in action creates better relationships.
4. Personal Identity - 86% show improvement.
Through the ethos learnt and practised with horses, our participants learn a greater sense of respect and self-esteem, fairness, politeness and begin to see themselves as good citizens.
- 93% of professionals attribute changes in their clients to attendance on our course.
- 43% of referrers ‘Strongly’ attribute this improvement to participation in our course.
Our work has a positive impact on creating stronger communities as our participants reengage with family, friends, and society as a result of improved life skills. Our course works directly on mental health through teaching and rehearsing 8 fundamental skills required for resilience and wellbeing: Calmness, Assertiveness, Focus, Planning, Empathy, Communication, Responsibility and Confidence. As an aside, the course demands physical activity, often helping participants to make the link between physical activity and mental wellbeing.
The service we provide is truly innovative and it works. We know that 8 out of every 10 young people we work with WILL do better.
**Financial Review**
## **Financial Position**
During the year the Charity received unrestricted donations and course contributions of £22,200, £1,288 from the Covid-19 Job retention scheme and restricted donations of £11,591 a total of £35,079.

## **Policy on Reserves**
The Charity’s reserve policy aims to hold funds equivalent to 10 courses (£5,000) at the start of the course year. It is the charity’s policy not to hold courses if funds are forecast not to be available.
