## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From 01/04/2024 To 31/03/2025** **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 & 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 had
no ponies return to our care & taken in 2
new residents after helping another local
sanctuary who was sadly closing it’s doors.
Being such a small organisation we are
currently at capacity, we found 2 long term
homes for ponies that were ready to move
on. 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 44
ponies in all with 26 in long term homes, 18
in residence between our 2 sites and
grazing placement| |---|---|---| |||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. We continue to educate the
public on equine welfare matters via social
media channels
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

Contribution made by
volunteers

|

Para 1.38|Due to our very basic facilities & various
locations it has been difficult to
accommodate lots of additional hands on
volunteer help and we had hoped that our
current rented
site with more suitable facilities and
reduction of locations would allow us to
accommodate more, however this has not
been the case. Whilst we
are still struggling to recruit new hands on
volunteers even with additional campaigns
to help on social media we have had
greater success this year & those have
helped significantly alongside our
established volunteers who have assisted
on admin and fundraising help. We still
have 2 full-time volunteers who devote their
life to the care of the ponies, and training to
become more and more effective at this
and another 5 days a week, with casual
volunteers ad hoc are covered. During this
period, focus has been on fundraising &
day to day care, rehabilitation & readying
those who will be suitable for rehoming. We
will continue to recruit an additional
volunteer force to aid both the day to day
running of our sites and for additional admin
and fundraising duties. We give thanks to
those volunteers who have| |||helped with daily care, fundraising, events &
helpwithponychecks at satellite locations| |

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 such
a small solely volunteer run charity we are
slowly building our relationships within the
local community & hope once we recruit
more help to our charity & facilities we will
be able to open our doors to the greater
community by way of open days,
workshops & ultimately human wellbeing
through equine interactions & nature.
During this financial year the long term
effects of the cost of living crisis have
continued to impact our fundraising due to
so much personal & financial uncertainty it
has continued to impact our regular
donation income from supporters. However
we have been working hard to apply for
assistance via grant funding opportunities
to assist with running costs and
infrastructure to support both our residents
and those who benefit from our sites
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

||| ## **Financial Review** |Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period|Para 1.21|It is reassuring to see our income rising this
year helped particularly by successful
applications for sponsor/grant income &
one generous living legacy donation
equating to an annual total of £74033.00
and whilst not a huge increase we have
ended the year with reserves. Regular
donations and fundraising opportunities
have continued to be hard to sustain due to
general financial uncertainties within the
economy with the cost of living crisis post
pandemic, however we have continued to
receive a regular monthly sponsorship from
The Hilda Florence Holmes trust which has
helped enable us to continue to afford
facilities & provide our residents with what
they need & Friends of the Animals, Isle of
Wight have continued their support with
veterinary care which we are so grateful for.
This additional support is allowing us to
gradually accrue the security of small
reserves and allow us to improve
infrastructure at our exposed site which has
regularly sustained storm damage. Whilst
this is a slow process each year we are
gradually moving forwards. We continue to
keep our resident numbers low & focus on
training of our longer term residents to give
them the greatest opportunity to find future
homes We will continue these measures
until income increases. We will continue to
source grant funding opportunities, source
more events to attend & find different ways
to fundraise alongside our online events| |---|---|---| |Statement explaining the

A description of the principal
risks facing the charity

Para 1.46|The trustees have assessed the major risks
to which the charity is exposed, and are
satisfied that systems are in place to
mitigate exposure to the major risks. At the
end of this financial year we are still in a
period of uncertainty and financial
instability nationwide on the general
economic situation however with our
current site offering additional grazing and
the measures in place relating to new
admissions it is felt we can sustain our
ongoingneeds.| |

Respectlve responslbllltles of trustees and examlner 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. Basls of the Independent examlnerfs 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 conceming 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 examlnerfs 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 accordan￿ with the Act); and o 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.
