Registsred Charity 1170646
Chalrman's Report forthe year ended 31 December 2023
Horses are amazing animals and through them we make real and lasting differences to the lives of local
children and adults with additional needs. At Scropton Riding for the Disabled {S¢ropton RDA) our
horses and activities offer opportunities to develop a wide variety of life skills, improve health and well-
being, build abililies and all whilst getting active and having fun. We help an enormous range of
disabilities,. physical, learning, sensory, multiple and profound. and more recently those with mental
health problems as well.
Our activities include riding. horse care and horse agility 811owing us to work with a wide range of
disabilities and needs. Vvhat characterises all our participants is their difficulties ac￿sIng mainstream
activities. Their needs are a barrier to taking part in sport, being active, socialising, communicating,
getting out and joining in. We cater for this very wide range of needs wilh activities at different levels
suitable for everyone to access.
Localed in South Derbyshire, we have the capacity to support around 300 participants each year. Our
Centre is much moire than just a riding centie with many local groups and individuals involved. giving il
a real sense of community. Scropton RDA continues to thrive, with a busy timelable Tuesday to
Saturday throughout the day and into the evenings. Although we have some spare capacty, client
numbers are growing and there are wailing lists for many sessions.
Acquiring new horses continues to be a challenge. The current horse market is small and fast moving,
making it difficult for u5 to complete due diligence on a prospective horse compared to a private buyer
who is prepared to buy with less checks, taking more risk. We have a healthy budget and a hope that
increasing the time resource we are putting into Ihis will bring more success.
We had hoped to grow Horse Care and Horse Agilty activities more than we did throughout the year.
but with focussing on growing riding numbers, regrettably we made less progress in this area Ihan
anticipated. We are now running some regular Horse Care sessions and both Car6 and Agilily activities
are an important part ol our holiday activity programs.
Volunteer numbers continue to dictate the number of participants we can accommodate in each
session. Recruiting more volunleers to support participant growih continues to be a challenge. More
positively we have had success developing a talenled coaching team ended the year with a full-time
head coach and a good variety of part time coaches.
Overall, it was a great year, there is a lively and positive vibe at the ￿ntre, crealing a great place to
take part in activities, volunteer, work or just visit. I would like to tske this opportunrty to thank some of
those who have helped us alon9 the way.,
Our staff, who have dedicated themselves to the Centrè. they have been hard working, flexible,
generous and loyal.
Our volunteers, who help us from everything from maintenance to supporting participants in
sessions, we could not do this without them.
Grant makers and private donors, the generosty we have received has allowed us to purGhase
the horses we were desperate for and plug the holes in core funding.
My fellow Trustees, who give their time freely and have helped me steer the Centre through
another extraordinary year.

Report of the Trustees (Including report of the Directors) for the year ended 31 December 2023
The Ttustees are pleased to present their annual report together with the financial ststements of the
charity for the year ended 31 December 2023, which are also prepared to meet the iequirements for a
Directors, Report and A¢counts for Companies Act purposes.
The financial statements comply with the Chanties Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006. the
Memorandum arsd Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of
Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in Ihe UK and Republic of Ireland published in October 2019.
Our purpose5 and activltles
The purposes of the charity are..
to further the objectives of the RDA (Riding for the Disabled Association Incorporating Carriage
E)riving) Charity Number 244108
to provide people with additional special needs or disabilities, the opportunity to ride andlor work
wtth horses on the ground to benefit their health and well-being and achieve their goals
Facilities for riding and ground-based adivities Wlth horses are provided at the Centre. The a5SiStance
in the provision of such facilities is provided by our staff, coaches and volunteers, all of whom are fully
qualified for their relevant tasks and attend training courses related to providing horse riding and
ground-based activities with horses for people with physical dlsability. learning difficulties or other
special needs.
In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the Trustees have considered the
Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
Achievements and performance
Ridin9 and Ground-based Activitie5
Riding activities have increased by 180/0 throughout the year, from 335 sessions to 396 sessions per
fortnight. Demand is still high for peak time sessions and a waiting list for these is being carefully
managed.
A shortage of horses and volunteers conlinues to be the limiting faclor for further growth, particularly in
relation to the number of participants per session. Volunteers steadily increased throughout the year,
but not sufficiently enough to meet the demand for activities.
Horse Care has had a little more success than Horse Agility, focus on Ihese new activities has been
limited due to the time constraints of the staff, dedicated time is needed to develop the right programs,
and market them appropriately. That being said, regular Horse Care sessions have run through0￿ the
year, and is becoming popular wrth schools.
We have plans in place for 2024 to futther promote ground-based artivilies including some
freelsubsidised taster sessions and short courses, buil(ling towards these activities becoming a core
part of our timetable.

Horses
We started the year with 14111 owned. 3 on loan) horses and ponies, but by the end of the year we
were down to 12 {7 owned, 5 on loan). It has been a mixed year, we continued to search for more
horses and ponies to build our team back up, but have had little success. We did manage to secure
couple of loan horses.
Sadly, we lost a long-term stalwart of the Centre, everyone's favourite pony Zeus, he saw in his 30
birthday which we celebrated with a party, but a few short months later his health let him down. He will
be missed by many.
There is a lot to do in 2024 to build the horse tearn back up to a number that allows growth and versatility
for our clients. 11 will be a key focus for us. The balance of heights. build, abilities and age must be
improved so that we can be confident we have the horsepower we need to grow activrty Eevels and
meet future plans.
As always, we have a team of dedicated grooms working under our Yard Supervisor who ensures the
welfare of all our horses and ponies is second to none. We also have a net￿ork of support working
with the Centre including vets, farriers, dentists, physios and saddle fitters.
Volunteers
The Centre has a large team ofvolunteers, wTrthoutwhich wewould not be able to operate. These range
from volunteers working with horses and participants to those Catering in the coffee bar, helping with
maintenance and supporting fundraising. We also have a few supported volunteers with additional
needs who gain a great deal of indepèndence and personal responsibility from helping around the yard.
All this help means the number of staff can be kept to a minimum.
The Centre has a part-time Volunteer Cfrordinator who provides a consistent and regular contact with
all volunteers, engages in recruitment, undertakes statutory checks, arranges training and co-ordinates
attendance times.
It is important to us that volunteers feel part of the team and feel valued and that they play an important
role in what we do.
The Trustees want to take this opportunity to thank each and every volunteer, old and new, who
generously donates their time to ensure Ihe Centre continues to stay open for our participants and, in
addition, for providing the friendly and enriching environment within which participants can flourish.
Fundlng
The Centre is entirely self-supportin9, relying on self-generated funds, donations and grants to cover
the general running costs and various improvement projects that become necessary during the year.
The majority of the Centre's income comes from fees from riding and ground-based activtties, which
are kept as low as possible to ensure they remain within the range of its customers. These fees alone
do not generate enough lo cover the operating costs and therefore the Centre remains heavily
dependent on its charitable status and the generosity of those supporting the Centre through donations.
The Trustees would like to thank all those supporters that gave generously during the year.

Projects
Eaily in the year, the Annex was converted into a self-contained ground floor flat for the Yard
Supervisor, now known as Paddock View. We now have 2 full time staff members living on site giving
us additional security and providing late night provisions for our team of horses when needed.
In December, worked started on the ¢omplete refurbishment of the toilet facilities on slte, both on the
yard and in the coffee bar. The work completed in February 2023. This was a long overdue project,
but costing a little over £50,000 it required grant funding which took time to secure. A special thanks
to Severn Trerrt who funded £44.525 and the Bernard Sunley Foundation £5,000 towards this proje¢t.
Activities of Scropton Equestrian Centre Ltd (SEC Ltd)
All mainstream riding lessons were condurted by the tr8ding subsidiary Scropton Equestrian Centre
Ltd (Company Number 03861792). A total of £72.520 {2022 £66,595) has been received from that
company in relation to Charges for the use of the Cenlre's facilities and donations.
Financlal review and reserves policy
The core income from riding lessons and ground-based activities, together with income from SEC Ltd,
and regular fundfaising activities Is insufficient to cover the day-to-day costs of running the Centre. The
nature of donations, gifts and grants is that they are irregular and cannot be relied upon lo keep the
accounts in surplus every year.
Accordingly, the Trustees try to maintain reserves sufficient to carry the charity through any lean years
which may arise and, in addition, build up funds to finance development projects which enhance the
available facilities. The reseNes held by the ¢harity have proved to be sufficient. The level of free
reserves held by the charity at the year-end is £44,582 (2022.. £42,243).
The Centre's total in¢ome for the year was £320.80812022.' £242,514), costs were £312.558 (2022..
£237.5721, resulting in a surplus of £8,248 (2022- £4,942 surplus).
Future plans
The Centre has been running for over 55 years and the Trustees are committed to the Centre being
sustainable and financially stable for the foreseeable future, providing security for the staff, volunteers
and clients of the Centre.
We are determined to offer a greater range of activities including Horse Care and Horse Agility to a
wider range of people from within our community and beyond.
We are exploring all aspects of mental wellbeing and all that being around horses can offer those
suffering from poor mental health.
We are also looking at partnerships with other charities that are looking for activities to offer their own
Client base.
And we continue to approach schools. day Gentres and care homes to offer their pupils and clients a
variety of activities at our Centre.

Notes to the Accounts
1 Accountlng Policles
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in
the preparation of the financial ststements are as follows..
a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by
Charities.. Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in
aGcordanoe with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland
published in October 2019.
Scropton Riding for the Disabled Centre meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS
102, Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless
otherwise staled in the relevant accounting policy notes.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity.
Monetary amounts in the financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The charty has relied on the exemption from preparing group accounts, and therefore the financial
statements reflect the results of the individual charity only.
b) Going Concern
The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue
as a going concern, due lo the level of resetves held and the resilience shown during the Covid-19
pandemic.
The Trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting
date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities within the nexi reporting period.
On that basis, the Trustees have prepared these financial statements on a going ¢oncern basi5.
c) Income
Income is recognised when the charity has enliuement to the funds, any performance conditions
attached to the item of intome have been met, rt is probable that the income will be received and the
amount can be measured reliably.
Income from grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants. is recogni5ed when the charity has
entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it IS
probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not
deferred.
d) Liabilities and Expenditure
A liability, and the related expenditure, is recogntsed when a legal or constructive obligation exists
as a resum of a past event, and when it is mofe likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits
will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligatj'on can be measured or reliably
estimated.
14

Scropton Ridlng for the Disabled Centre
Registered Charity 1170646
Liabilities arising from fulure funding commrf(ments and constructive obligations, including
performance related grants, where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure required to
settle the obligation are Un￿rtaIn, gwe rtse to a provision in thè accounts. which is renewed at the
aC￿￿nting year end. The provision is increased to reflect any increases in liabilities and is
decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period, and reversed if any provision ts no
longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the respective funds and activities to
which the provision relates incurred.
el Intangible fixed assels

high residual value of the buildings. Freehold land is not depreciated.
g) Stock

at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open
market.
