Scropton Riding for the Disabled Centre
Registered Charity 1170646
Chalmian's Report for the year ended 31 December 2024
Horses are amazing animals arKI 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 (Scropton RDA) our
horses and activities offer opportunities to develop a wide variely of life skills, improve health and well-
being, build abilities and all whilst getting active and having fun. We help an enomous range of
disabilities; physical, learning, sensory, multiple and profound, and more r￿ntlY those with mental
health problems as well.
Our activities include riding, horse care and horse agility allowing us to work with a wide range of
disabilities and needs. Vvhat characterises all our participants is their difficulties ac￿SsIng mainstream
activities. Their needs are a barrier to taking part in sport, being actNe, socialising, communicating,
getting out and joining in. We cater for this very wide range of needs with activities at different levels
suitable for everyone to access.
Located in South Derbyshire, we have the capacity to support around 250 participants each year. Our
Centre is much more than just a riding ￿ntre with many local groups and individuals involved, giving it
a real sense of community. Scropton RDA continues to thrive, with a busy timetable Tuesday to
Saturday throughout the day and into the evenings. Although we have some spare capacity, client
numbers remain stable, with a waiting list for certain days and times.
Acquiring new horses is our single biggest challenge. The current horse market is small and continues
to be fast moving, making it dfficult for us 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 are exploring all possible avenues to help find ￿ horses we so urgently need.
Unfortunately, another year has gone by with limited growth in Horse Care and Horse Agility activities.
This year we have introduced new Horse Club sessions which combine Horse Care, Agility and social
activrties. Our foGUS being mainly tied up with horses and retaining the clients and activities we have,
there hasn't been sufficient time and resource to focus more on this potential area of growth. There are
some regular Horse Care sessions and both Care and Agility activities are an important part of our
holiday activity prograrns.
Volunteer numbers have improved throughout the year, as has the regularity and retention of those
volunteers. Recruiting more volunteers to support participant growth continues to be a challenge, but
there were a number of successful initiatives throughout the year. There were a number of changes
within the Groom. Coaching and Admin teams, and there is a really good team spirit about the Centre.
Overall, it was a tough but good year, ttEre is a lively and positive vibe at the Centre, creating a great
place to take part in activities, volunteer, work orjust Visit. I would like to take this opportunity to thank
some of those who have helped us along the way:
Our staff, who have dedicated themselves to the Centre, have been hard working, flexible,
generous and loyal.
Our volunteers, who help us with everything from maintenance to supporting participants in
sessions, we could not do this without them.
Grant makers and private donors, the generosity we have received has allowed us to purchase
some of the horses we were desperate for and plug some 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 2024
The Trustees are pleased to present their annual rewrt together with the financial statements of the
charity for the year ended 31 De￿rnber 2024, which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a
Directors, Report and Accounts for Companies Act purposes.
The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the
Memorandum and 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 the UK and Republic of Ireland published in October 2019.
Our purposes and actlvities
The purposes of the charity are:
to further the objectives of the RDA (Riding for the Disabled Association Incorporating Carriage
Driving) Charity Number 244108
to provide people with additional special needs ordisabilities, the opportunity to ride andlor work
with horses on the ground to benefit their health and well-being and achieve their goals
Facilities for riding and ground-based activities with horses are provided at the Centre. The assistance
in the provision of such activities 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 disability, leaming difficulties or other
special needs.
In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the Trustees have considered the
Charity Commission's guidants on public benefit.
Achievements and performance
Riding and Ground-based Activities
Activtty levels have fallen slightly during 2024. A shortage of horses has not only affected potential
grovrth but has limited the number of participants we can accommodate per session. There have been
occasions when sessions have been can￿lled. or the number of participants in a session were
reduced. Whilst cantsllations are not ideal, hO￿e welfare is paramount, we will not ovemork the
horses.
Despite these challenges throughout the year we have been able to support 350 participants with
additional needs, whether this has been for regular sessions, short courses or one-off activities
Riding continues to be our main activity but we continue to offer Horse Care and Horse Agility. This
year has seen the SUCGessful introduction of Horse Clubs. Most involve some riding, but we have also
started clubs where the horse activities are all grourjd based. making them a￿ssIble to a wider range
of participants.
We have plans in place for 2025 to further prornote ground-based activities including some subsidised
taster sessions and short courses, building towards these activities becoming a core part of our
timetable.

Scropton Riding for the Disabled Centre
Registered Charty 1170646
Horses
We started the year with 12 (7 owned, 5 on loan) horses and ponies with plans to grow to our team.
During the last 6 months of the year we unfortunately lost the use of 7 horses from a mix of retirement,
injury, illness and end of loan agreements. Despite finding some new horses this meant we ended the
year with only 10 (6 owned, 4 on loan). It has been hugely challenging to find the right horses and we
had limited success during the year. This problem is industry wide and has been the cause of many
commercial riding establishments dosing their doors for good.
Sadly, one of the horses we lost was a long-tenn stalwart of the Centre, everyone's favourtte horse
Hercules. Hercules served his riders faithfully for just over 9 years at Scropton, with some going on to
have great Suc￿sS riding him at the Regional and National Championships. He will be missed by
everyone.
There is a lot to do in 2025 to rebuild the horse team back up to a number that allows grO4￿h and
versatility for our dients. It will be a key focus for us. The balan￿ of heights, build, abilities and age
must be improved so that we can be confident we have the horsepower we need to grow activity levels
and meet future plans.
As always, we have a team of dedicated grooms working under our Equestrian Manager who ensures
the welfare of all our horses and ponies is second to none. We also have a network of support working
with the Centre including vets, farriers, dentists, physios and saddle fitte￿.
Volunteers
The Centre has a large team of volunteers, without which we would not be able to operate. These range
from volunteers wothing with horses and participants to those catering in the coffee bar, helping with
Maintenan￿ and supporting fundraising. We also have a few supported volunteers with additional
needs who gain a great deal of independence 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 Co-ordinator 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 opportunty to thank each and every volunt￿r, old and new, who
generously donates their time to ensure the Centre continues to stay open for our participants and, in
addition, for providing the friendly and enriching environment within which participants can floLJrish.
Funding
The Centre is entirely self-supporting, relying on self-generated funds. donations and grants to cover
the general running costs and various improvement projects that become ne￿SSary during the year.
The majority of the Centre's income comes from fees from riding and ground-based activities, which
are kept as low as possible to ensure they remain within the range of its customers. These fees alone
do not generate enough to 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
I n December 2023, worked started on the complele refurbishment of the toilet facilities on site, both on
the yard and in the coffee bar. The work completed in February 2024. 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 Trent who funded £44,525 and the Bemard Sunley Foundation who funded £5,000 towards
this project.
This year also saw the successfvl introduction of Horse Clubs. These are extended sessions where
participants are involved in a variety of horse-based activities and also have some time for none horse
related activities such as crafts and time for socialising. Participants involved in these sessions have
benefitted from the wide mix of activities and opportunities these Glubs offer. This is an area we hope
to develop further in 2025. Our thanks go to the Boshier Hinton Foundation, David Solornons Charitable
Trust, The Hedley Foundation and Cash 4 Clubs who all supported this project in different ways.
Activitles of Scropton Equestrian Centre Ltd (SEC Ltd)
All mainstream riding lessons were conducted by the trading subsidiary Scropton Equesirian Centre
Ltd (Company Number 03861792). A total of £76,675 {2022. £72,520) has been received from that
company in relation to charges for the use of the Centre's facilities and donats'ons.
Financial review and reserves policy
The core income from riding lessons and ground-based activities, together with income from SEC Ltd,
and regular fundraising 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 to keep the
accounts in surplus every year.
AGcordingly, the Trustees try to maintain reserves sufficient to cary the charity through any lean years
which may arise and, in addition, build up funds to finance development piojects which enhance the
available facilities. The targeted reserves are 3 months, worth of essential running costs, which the
Trustees are working to achieve. The level of free reserves held by the charity at the year-end is
£26,750 (2023: £44,582).
The Centre's total income for the year was £307,638 (2023: £320,806), costs were £314,070 (2023..
£312,558), resutting in a loss of £6,431 (2023: £8,248 surplus).
Future plans
The Centre has been running for nearly 60 years and the Trustees are committed to the Centre being
sustainable and financially stable for the foreseeable fvture. providing security for the staff, volunteers
and clients of the Centre.
We are detemiined to offer a wrde range of activities to a diverse range of people from within our
comrnunity and beyond. Non ridden activities will be an important part of this, both for regular activities
and one-off sessions
We are continuing to develop opportunities for people with mental health needs to benefrt from all that
being around horses can offer.
We are developing partnerships with other organisations that are looking for activities to offer their own
client base, including schools, day centres and care homes.

Notes to the Accounts
1 Accountlng Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in
the preparation of the financial stalernents are as follows:
a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordanGe with Accounting and Reporting by
Charities." Statement of Recomrnended Practi￿ applicable to charities preparing their accounts in
acGordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland
published in October 2019.
Scropton Riding for the Disabled Centre rneets the definition of a public benefrt entity under FRS
102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless
otherwise stated in the ￿levant accounting policy notes.
The financial statements are prepared in sterfing, which is the functional currency of the charity.
Monetary amounts in the financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The charity has relied on the exemption from preparing group accounts, and therefore the financial
statements reflect the results of the individual charity only.
b} Going Con￿rn
The Trustees consider that there are no material Un￿rtaIntieS about the charity's ability to continue
as a going concem. due to the level of reserves held and the resilien￿ shown during the Covid-19
pandemic.
The Trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation ur￿rta1nty at the reporting
date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carying amounts of assets
and liabilities within the next reporting period.
On that basis, the Trustees have p￿pared these financial statements on a going conr2m basis.
c) Income
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any Performan￿ conditions
attached to the item of income have been met, rt is probable that the income will be received and the
amount can be measured reliably.
Incorne from grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has
entitlement to the funds, any perfomiance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is
probable that the income will be re￿iVed and the amount can be measured reliably and is not
deferred.
d) Liabilities and Expenditure
A liability, and the related expenditure, is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists
as a result of a past event, and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of econornic benefrts
will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligation can te measured or reliably
estimated.
14

Scropton Rlding for the Disabled Centre
Registered Charity 1170646
Liabilities arising from future funding commitments and constructive obligations, including
performance related grants, where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure required to
settle the obligation are uncertain, give rise to a provision in the accounts, which is renewed at the
accounting year end. The provision is increased to reflect any inueases in liabilities and is
decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period, arjd reversed if any provision is no
longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the respective funds and activities to
which the provision relates incurred.
e) Intangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their
estimated useful economic lives on a straighl-line basis as follows:
Asset Category
Annual rate
Software
25'h Straight-Line
O Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their
estimated useful economic lives on a straight-line basis as follows-
Asset Category
Annual rate
Freehold land & buildings
Plant & Equiprnent
Fixtures & Fittings
10% - 12.5% Straight-Line
1 Ook Straight-Line
No depreciation 18 provided in respect of land and txjildings as the amount is negligible due to the
high residual value of the buildings. Freehold land is not depreciated.
g) Stock
Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised
at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open
market.
h) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount
offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
i) Cash at bank
Bank balances, whether in credit or overdrawn, are shown at the amounts properfy reconciled to the
bank statements.
j) Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a
past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to
settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally
recognised at their settlement arnount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
