## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From 01/04/2020 To 31/03/2021** **Charity name: Bodmin Moorland Pony Rehabilitation** **Charity registration number: 1167401** ## **Objectives and Activities** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|To advance Equine Welfare, to prevent
suffering, aiding hill and native & fly-
grazed ponies suffering from
abandonment, to improve the welfare of
hill, native & fly grazed ponies by way of
rehabilitation, education & awareness.
Rehoming & sanctuary| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|During this financial year BMPR’s primary
focus has been on the care, rehabilitation &
rehoming of the residents in our
responsibility,
We have provided suitable nutritional
assistance, rehabilitative care, routine &
emergency veterinary attention including
worming & castration, registered farrier
attendance.
Many of our residents come to us as feral
unhandled ponies or ponies with
compromised welfare & past abuse, we
have worked with each individuals handling
to allow them to trust human interaction to
enable them a future as human
companions through active rehoming
schemes for those that are suitable, in
some cases due to health or behavioural
issues some ponies may take considerable
time to reach this point & some may remain
in our care for life. This year we have found
9 long term loan or foster homes. Suitable
homes are sought and subject to thorough
home checks and references they are
placed under contract within new homes &
are monitored during this time to ensure
welfare needs are being met. At time of
writing we have responsibility for 42 ponies
in all with 28 in long term homes, 14 in
residence
We have continued to monitor the welfare
of our local moorland ponies & when
necessary relayed any welfare concerns to
the relevant local authorities, we also assist| |||the general public if they raise concerns or
need advice about welfare concerns both
on the local moorland commons or
domestically.
Offer volunteering opportunities & access
to outdoor space| |---|---|---| |Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit|Para 1.18|The Trustees are aware of the guidance
issued by the Charity Commission on
public benefit regarding
the need for them to exercise their
powers or duties for the benefit of the
public and every trustee has complied
with their duty to have due regard to
the guidance on public benefit.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Policy on grant making|Para 1.38|| |Policy on social investment
including program related

volunteers|Para 1.38|**Due to our very basic facilities &**
**various locations it has been difficult**
**to accommodate hands on volunteer**
**help however we hope that our new**
**rented site with more suitable facilities**
**and reduction of locations will allow us**
**to accommodate more volunteers in**
**the future. Sadly upon taking on our**
**new lease we entered a national**
**pandemic which has meant during this**
**financial period we have been**
**prevented from recruiting new**
**volunteers due to Covid lockdown**
**measures & ongoing precautions to**
**safeguard our limited full time**
**volunteer staff & the general public.**
**Our only full-time presence is a**
**volunteer who devotes her life to the**
**care of the ponies, and training to**
**become more and more effective at**
**this. During this period, focus has**
**been on day to day care, rehabilitation**
**& rehoming current residents & also**
**ponies returning in to our care whilst**
**minimising risk of illness. We have also**| **been impacted due to our already small volunteer network having to self isolate or shield during this time. We do hope that as a nation we learn to live with our new kind of normal post pandemic & in the near future can recruit new hands on volunteers in order to address the volume of work to assist in the health issues that had impacted on our volunteer this also will help enable us to address the subsequent issues in relation to our admin & reporting all of which are now being addressed and future planning put in place. We give thanks to those volunteers who have helped with fundraising, events & help with pony checks at satellite locations** Other ## **Achievements and Performance** ||SORP reference|| |---|---|---| |Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Para 1.20|The charity continues to successfully
rehabilitate the ponies in its care giving
them the greatest opportunity of finding
long term future homes. We also provide
ongoing care for those that need additional
support or lifelong sanctuary. . We continue
to build relationships with other welfare
organisations across the country. As a
relatively new charity we are slowly building
our relationships within the local community
& hope once we establish our charity &
facilities will be able to open our doors to
the greater community by way of accepting
more volunteers, open days etc. We have
signed the lease & moved into a new
rented property with more suitable facilities
& land which we hope will enable this but
due to the Covid pandemic we have been
prevented from becoming more community
centred. This has also significantly
impacted our ability to attend fundraising &
awareness events & due to so much
personal & financial uncertainty it has
impacted our regular donation income from
supporters.
We have continued to support the public
with equine welfare advice & support,
continued to support our guardian & foster| homes to enable ponies to remain in their placements, we have continued to rehome ponies that are ready for new homes and opportunities & also find new homes or resume care for ponies that are returned to us due to personal changes of circumstance. We continue to informally monitor our local moorland pony herds & relay any concerns we have back to the relevant local authorities ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against

financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|During the year donations of £18,702 were
received.
Although our income for this year is
significantly higher than last this is due to
Emergency Crisis Support from charitable
grant funding available due to the Covid
pandemic to the total of £21,455. We have
been lucky to receive grants from a number
of trusts which has enabled us to fund
some new field shelter buildings for the
site, equipment to aid the day to day care
of our residents & unrestricted funds which
have enabled us to cover a significant rise
in veterinary expenses after the pandemic
meant that our veterinary sponsor could no
longer assist with our vet bills & escalating
veterinary expenses incurred with poorly
residents & surgical procedures such as
castrations required in order to enable us to
prevent ongoing indiscriminate breeding &
rehoming opportunities. Our regular
donation income has been gradually
reducing primarily due to Pandemic
uncertainties however we have continued
to receive a regular monthly sponsorship
from The Hilda Florence Holmes trust
which has been increased during this
period & it has helped enable us to
continue to afford facilities & provide our
residents with the nutritional or veterinary
care which we are so grateful for. During
this time rehoming applications have
continued to be buoyant. Our new site has
allowed us additional grazing which has
reduced our overheads, we have also
received donations of forage over the last
winter which has reduced spending. We
have continued to reduce the numbers of
ponies in our care by way of rehoming &
reduced those admitted to our care other
than those we are already responsible for
in order to responsibly care for those
already in residence. This will continue
whilst we focus increasing our income post
pandemic| |Statement explaining the

It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts; - to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under the Act; and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of the independent examiner’s report** My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention: - (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that: - proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with the Act); and - accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or - (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
