Section C Objectives and activities

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

Our object relates to the relief of disabled, ill or disadvantaged children by assisting in the provision of facilities for riding and other activities, in particular, but not exclusively by providing an annual riding camp to benefit their health and well-being. Reflecting the long history and roots of the charity, focus continues primarily on disabled children and disadvantages arising from their physical challenges in particular”.

Regard has been taken of the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission when exercising any powers and duties. Delivery of our primary objective of the charity focuses on the organisation of an annual riding and activity camp.. Following the disappointing yet necessary cancellation of two camps (2020 and 2021) due to the pandemic, the easing of COVID restrictions enabled camp 2022 to take place, albeit scaled down to air on the side of caution. The committee completed over and above in their annual review and revision of policies and processes in preparing for Camp 2022. They took time to discuss the policies with a similar charity to ensure best practice and due diligence took place. An enhanced children’s policy and medication policy was added to the ‘WVDCC Wellbeing handbook’ for greater clarity and record keeping. Additionally, the appropriate regulators were contacted ahead of any decision to commence with the camp. A decision was taken to invite less children in this first year back after the pandemic albeit also remaining aware respite need was at an all time high after the restrictions carers had throughout lockdown periods. As such, 12 holiday children attended the camp. Activities were highly risk assessed and executed as per our Charity objectives.

Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)

Youmay chooseto include further statements, where relevant, about:  policy on grant making;  policy programme related investment;  contribution made by volunteers.	With the easing of COVID restrictions our main fundraiser took place in August 2022 providing a significant boost to income, with our loyal supporters continuing to make donations via our 100 Club and advocacy fundraisers. As ever however whilst financial contributions are essential to meeting our object, the greatest and most appreciated contribution continues to be from our numerous volunteers, on our camp committee, those giving up valuable time volunteering at camp and for those contributors of time and effort behind the scenes.

2023

This year a new shower provision was created providing an extension to the previous provisions, this equipment was custom made to ensure full wheelchair and disability access and safety, whilst remaining in line with health and safety regulations and allowing for ‘safeguarding’ privacy and dignity advice.

This provision increased efficiency for personal hygiene routines on camp and allowed for greater opportunities for young people to shower with independence.

The camp ran in 2022 with 6 boys and 6 girls attending, whom had a range of physical and medical needs.

The camp experience included a range of fun activities to encourage confidence building, communication skills, team building, and exploration of personal challenges and self-determination. Activities on offer included daily horse riding, swimming, treasure hunts, team games such as Skittles and football.

We had a visiting outdoor pursuit company – Wilshire Outdoor Learning come onsite to deliver rock climbing, zip wire, fire lighting, archery and axe throwing. All of these activities provided opportunities for the young people to challenge themselves, stepping out of their comfort zones, and working as a team to achieve success.

Disco’s, karaoke, sing songs and talent shows offered opportunities for the young people to demonstrate their passions and talents in a nurturing and encouraging environment.

Visits from celebratory animals and a range of petting animals offered opportunities for ‘animal therapy’ and the young people spent a relaxed time enjoying the company and interaction of these animals.

Alongside the busy activities there were also options to focus on quieter self-exploration and emotional wellbeing activities such as mindfulness tasks, peer massage, and diary writing.

A successful prize giving event was run at the end of the camp to celebrate achievements and progress made over the week. Every young person received a celebration of their personal achievements and successes.

The camp was successful with no safeguarding or medical incidents. The appropriate safeguarding policies and medical procedures were all in place and followed to ensure no concerns were recorded.

The Safeguarding lead visited the families of the new young people prior to the camp to provide background information regarding the camp, and to provide opportunities for the young person and their families to ask questions and see photos of the camp activities. WVDCC leaflets and links to the new website were shared, with information about the charities registered status.

Regular newsletters were created and sent out to the young people to stay in touch on the build up to the 2022 camp, informing them about safety precautions going into place post covid, information about the camp routines and activities, information regarding packing lists and directions, and provided opportunities for questions prior to arriving at the camp for

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

The Charity is hugely proud of the continued inputs from our trustee and committee members who worked tirelessly through the first half of 2022 to ensure camp would be possible and avoid further cancellation.

COVID safety was respected at all times and the camp avoided any cases of the virus.

Extra care was taken to hold many activities on site and lots of creativity meant the young people who joined for the week had as good a week as any previously held.

Costs for the week itself were reduced and various changes were made to ensure equipment was upgraded with minimal costs.

In the back end of 2022 further decisions were made to ensure succession planning amongst the committee and trustees was a focus in order to remain relevant and sustainable for years to come.

The website built in the previous year brought various donations though online searches the charity would otherwise not have been considered for.

Section E Financial review

The main event run by the charity, a weeklong holiday camp for disabled Brief statement of the children, costs around £18k each year to hold. A reserves policy is in charity’s policy on reserves place to ensure that should fundraising be insufficient from the previous year to cover the cost of the subsequent year the event can still be held. To date the charity has sufficient reserves to hold the next three years’ worth of events.

Notwithstanding the return of our annual camp, our financial balance remains solid at £47,123.18 and provides a cushion of at least 2 years future camps without further income.

Critical to maintaining the profile of the Charity with both our holiday children and their families and our volunteers, our Camp manager and camp committee have continued to work very hard to ensure the Charity remains active.

With significant thanks and appreciation for the committees work, the trustees remain confident of the robustness of the Charity finances and its profile with interested parties.
