## **Objectives and Activities** 

||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the purposes of<br>the charity as set out in its<br>governing document|Para 1.17|To advance Equine Welfare, to prevent<br>suffering, aiding hill and native & fly-<br>grazed ponies suffering from<br>abandonment, to improve the welfare of<br>hill, native & fly grazed ponies by way of<br>rehabilitation, education & awareness.<br>Rehoming & sanctuary|
|Summary of the main<br>activities in relation to those<br>purposes for the public<br>benefit, in particular, the<br>activities, projects or<br>services identified in the<br>accounts.|Para 1.17 and<br>1.19|During this financial year BMPR’s primary<br>focus has been on the care, rehabilitation &<br>rehoming of the residents in our<br>responsibility,<br>We have provided suitable nutritional<br>assistance, rehabilitative care, routine &<br>emergency veterinary attention including<br>worming & registered farrier attendance.<br>Many of our residents come to us as feral<br>unhandled ponies or ponies with<br>compromised welfare & past abuse, we<br>have worked with each individuals handling<br>to allow them to trust human interaction to<br>enable them a future as human<br>companions through active rehoming<br>schemes for those that are suitable, in<br>some cases due to health or behavioural<br>issues some ponies may take considerable<br>time to reach this point & some may remain<br>in our care for life. This year we have had 2<br>ponies return to our care & 3 new<br>residents, found 2 long term loan or foster<br>homes & sadly lost one elderly resident.<br>Suitable homes are sought and subject to<br>thorough home checks and references they<br>are placed under contract within new<br>homes & are monitored during this time to<br>ensure welfare needs are being met.  At<br>time of writing we have responsibility for 41<br>ponies in all with 22 in long term homes, 19<br>in residence between our 2 sites and<br>grazing placement|





|||We have continued to monitor the welfare<br>of our local moorland ponies & when<br>necessary relayed any welfare concerns to<br>the relevant local authorities, we also assist<br>the general public if they raise concerns or<br>need advice about welfare concerns both<br>on the local moorland commons or<br>domestically. We continue to educate the<br>public on equine welfare matters via social<br>media channels<br>Offer volunteering opportunities & access<br>to outdoorspace|

|Statement confirming<br>whether the trustees have<br>had regard to the guidance<br>issued by the Charity<br>Commission on public<br>benefit|Para 1.18|The Trustees are aware of the guidance<br>issued by the Charity Commission on<br>public benefit regarding<br>the need for them to exercise their<br>powers or duties for the benefit of the<br>public and every trustee has complied<br>with their duty to have due regard to<br>the guidance on public benefit.|

|Policy on grant making|Para 1.38||
|Policy on social investment<br>including program related<br>investment|Para 1.38||
|Contribution made by<br>volunteers|Para 1.38|Due to our very basic facilities & various<br>locations it has been difficult to<br>accommodate lots of hands on volunteer<br>help and we had hoped that our new rented<br>site with more suitable facilities and<br>reduction of locations would allow us to<br>accommodate more volunteers. Sadly we<br>are still struggling to recruit new volunteers<br>however we have found a few which has<br>helped significantly alongside a couple of<br>additional volunteers who have assisted on<br>admin and fundraising help with 2 full-time<br>volunteers who devotes their life to the care<br>of the ponies, and training to become more<br>and more effective at this and another 3<br>days a week, with casual volunteers ad<br>hoc.  During this period, focus has been on<br>day to day care, rehabilitation & rehoming<br>current residents & also ponies returning in<br>to our care. We continue to recruit a small<br>volunteer force to aid both the day to day<br>running of our sites and for additional<br>admin and fundraising duties. We give<br>thanks to those volunteers who have|





helped with fundraising, events & help with pony checks at satellite locations Other 

## **Achievements and Performance**

|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|The charity continues to successfully<br>rehabilitate the ponies in its care giving<br>them the greatest opportunity of finding<br>long term future homes. We also provide<br>ongoing care for those that need additional<br>support or lifelong sanctuary. We continue<br>to build relationships with other welfare<br>organisations across the country. As a<br>relatively young charity we are slowly<br>building our relationships within the local<br>community & hope once we establish our<br>charity & facilities we will be able to open<br>our doors to the greater community by way<br>of accepting more volunteers, open days &<br>ultimately human wellbeing through equine<br>interactions & nature which one of our full<br>time members has qualified in this year.<br>During this financial year the long term<br>effects of the pandemic have continued to<br>impact our ability to attend fundraising &<br>awareness events & due to so much<br>personal & financial uncertainty leading to<br>the cost of living crisis it has continued to<br>impact our regular donation income from<br>supporters. However we have been<br>working hard to apply for assistance via<br>grant funding<br>We have continued to support the public<br>with equine welfare advice & support,<br>continued to support our guardian & foster<br>homes to enable ponies to remain in their<br>placements, we have continued to rehome<br>ponies that are ready for new homes and<br>opportunities & also find new homes or<br>resume care for ponies that are returned to<br>us due to personal changes of<br>circumstance. We continue to informally<br>monitor our local moorland pony herds &<br>relay any concerns we have back to the<br>relevant local authorities|

## **Financial Review** 

|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Para 1.21|It is reassuring to see our income rising this<br>year helped particularly by successful<br>applications for sponsor/grant income<br>equating to £38,550. Regular donations<br>and fundraising opportunities have been<br>harder to sustain due to general financial<br>uncertainties within the economy with the<br>cost of living crisis post pandemic, however<br>we have continued to receive a regular<br>monthly sponsorship from The Hilda<br>Florence Holmes trust which has helped<br>enable us to continue to afford facilities &<br>provide our residents with the nutritional or<br>veterinary care which we are so grateful<br>for. We continue to keep our resident<br>numbers low & focus on training of our<br>longer term residents to give them the<br>greatest opportunity to find future homes<br>Our new site has allowed us additional<br>grazing which has reduced our overheads,<br>but we find it a very exposed site which has<br>incurred greater outgoings replacing storm<br>damaged equipment and winter ground<br>reinforcement which has meant outlay in<br>other unexpected areas preventing us from<br>moving forwards as quickly as we would<br>like. We will continue these measures until<br>income increases. We will continue to<br>source grant funding opportunities, source<br>more events to attend now the pandemic<br>seems to be abating & find different ways<br>to fundraise alongside our online events|
|---|---|---|
|Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stating why they are held|Para 1.22|We aim to be able to hold reserves in future<br>to enable us contingency funds should<br>there be an unexpected drop in funding and<br>end this year in a healthier financial<br>situation than previous years|
|Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|zero|
|Reasons for holding zero<br>reserves|Para 1.22|As the charity has been impacted by the<br>economic effects of the covid pandemic &<br>cost of living crisis and is still very much in<br>the early stages of development it is not<br>possible for reserves to be held as all used<br>on our charitable activities|

## **Bodmin Moorland Pony Rehabilitation** 

## **Independent examiner’s Report to the Trustees** 

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31[st] March 2023, which are set out on form CC16a. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 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.
